# Template to help invoking code generators based on generator_lib.py
# Internal use only, this should only be called from templates implementing
# generator-specific actions.
#
# Variables:
#   script: Path to generator script.
#
#   args: List of extra command-line arguments passed to the generator.
#
#   outputs: List of expected outputs, generation will fail if there is a
#     mistmatch.
#
#   deps: additional deps for the code generation targets.
#
#   generator_lib_dir: directory where generator_lib.py is located.
#
#   custom_gen_dir: Optional custom target gen dir. Defaults to $target_gen_dir
#     but allows output files to not depend on the location of the BUILD.gn
#     that generates them.
#
#   template_dir: Optional template root directory. Defaults to
#     "${generator_lib_dir}/templates".
#
#   jinja2_path: Optional Jinja2 installation path.
#
#   root_dir: Optional root source dir for Python dependencies
#     computation. Defaults to "${generator_lib_dir}/..". Any dependency
#     outside of this directory is considered a system file and will be
#     omitted.
