Zhao, ZhiqiangX b3497bad12 BaseTools: AutoGen and GenFds share the parser data.
V2:
Extract the common part of new API and the original main() function
into one function.

V1:
https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1288

Currently, AutoGen and GenFds run in different python interpreters. The
parser are duplicated. This patch is going to create new API for GenFds
and have the build to call that API instead of executing GenFds.py. As
such, the GenFds and build can share the parser data.

This patch is expected to save the time of GenFds about 2~3 seconds.
More details will be logged in BZ.

This is the summary measure data generated from python cProfile for
building Ovmf.

Currently:
8379147 function calls (8135450 primitive calls) in 12.580 seconds

After applying this patch:
3428712 function calls (3418881 primitive calls) in 8.944 seconds

This file contains invisible Unicode characters

This file contains invisible Unicode characters that are indistinguishable to humans but may be processed differently by a computer. If you think that this is intentional, you can safely ignore this warning. Use the Escape button to reveal them.

This directory contains the next generation of EDK II build tools and template files.
Templates are located in the Conf directory, while the tools executables for
Microsoft Windows 32-bit Operating Systems are located in the Bin\Win32 directory, other
directory contatins tools source.

1. Build step to generate the binary tools.

=== Windows/Visual Studio Notes ===

To build the BaseTools, you should run the standard vsvars32.bat script
from your preferred Visual Studio installation or you can run get_vsvars.bat
to use latest automatically detected version.

In addition to this, you should set the following environment variables:

 * EDK_TOOLS_PATH - Path to the BaseTools sub directory under the edk2 tree
 * BASE_TOOLS_PATH - The directory where the BaseTools source is located.
   (It is the same directory where this README.txt is located.)

After this, you can run the toolsetup.bat file, which is in the same
directory as this file.  It should setup the remainder of the environment,
and build the tools if necessary.

Please also refer to the 'BuildNotes.txt' file for more information on
building under Windows.

=== Unix-like operating systems ===

To build on Unix-like operating systems, you only need to type 'make' in
the base directory of the project.

=== Ubuntu Notes ===

On Ubuntu, the following command should install all the necessary build
packages to build all the C BaseTools:

  sudo apt-get install build-essential uuid-dev

=== Python sqlite3 module ===
On Windows, the cx_freeze will not copy the sqlite3.dll to the frozen
binary directory (the same directory as build.exe and GenFds.exe).
Please copy it manually from <PythonHome>\DLLs.

The Python distributed with most recent Linux will have sqlite3 module
built in. If not, please install sqlit3 package separately.
