# Implements scanners: objects computing implicit dependencies for files, such
# as includes in C++.
#
# A scanner has a regular expression used to find the dependencies, some data
# needed to interpret those dependencies (e.g., include paths), and code which
# establishing needed relationships between actual jam targets.
#
# Scanner objects are created by actions when they try to actualize virtual
# targets, passed to the virtual-target.actualize() method and are then
# associated with actual targets. It is possible to use several scanners for a
# single virtual-target. For example, a single source file might be compiled
# twice - each time using a different include path. In this case, two separate
# actual targets will be created, each having a scanner of its own.
#
# Typically, scanners are created from target type and the action's properties,
# using the rule 'get' in this module. Directly creating scanners is not
# recommended, as it might create multiple equvivalent but different instances,
# and lead to unnecessary actual target duplication. However, actions can also
# create scanners in a special way, instead of relying on just the target type.
