is consumed via theuses
API. By using a block, the consumer will link against the project and inherit its linked projects, library directories, include directories, defines, and more.block
is consumed byuses
, it will also inherit downstream dependencies. That is to say if blockA
uses blockB
and blockB
uses blockC
, blockA
will inherit from blockC
as well.How does this PR change Premake's behavior?
