Hi all,

I’d like to introduce a CMAKE library dependency trace tool to you. This python script can

• Search a specific library’s dependent libraries and to-be-linked libraries in a list of repo paths.
• Draw a diagram to show the link relationship.
• Give some other information about:
• Include paths
• Source files
• Compile definitions

The main feature of diagram is similar with [CMakeGraphVizOptions], the differences are:

• The new tool can focus on certain library with specific trace depth like 1, 2 and n.
• The new tool is not runtime, it is a static search and can search all libraries whose runtime build may be silenced.
• The new tool makes the diagram more colourful to be more readable.

With this tool, I hope you can get and check the structure of CMAKE library more quickly when developing the code and libraries.

I have proposed a patch in tf-m-tools repo: [library dependency trace tool].

This tool may not be convenient for everyone of you so here I beg for your feedbacks to make it better. Thanks.

Best Regards

Jianliang Shen
