Complex build logic is usually a good candidate for being encapsulated either as custom task or binary plugin.
Custom task and plugin implementations should not live in the build script.
It is very convenient to use `buildSrc` for that purpose as long as the code does not need to be shared among multiple, independent projects.

== 1. Applying plugins using the `plugins{}` block

The plugin DSL provides a concise and convenient way to declare plugin dependencies.

[[sec:binary_plugins]]
The plugins block configures an instance of link:{javadocPath}/org/gradle/plugin/use/PluginDependenciesSpec.html[`PluginDependenciesSpec`]:

		if s1[i] != s2[i] {
			return false
		}
	}
	return true
}

func TestEqString(t *testing.T) {
	// This isn't really an exhaustive test of == on strings, it's
	// just a convenient way of documenting (via eqstring_generic)
	// what == does.
	s := []string{
		"",
		"a",
		"c",
		"aaa",
		"ccc",
		"cccc"[:3], // same contents, different string
		"1234567890",
	}

== Summary

Executing Gradle builds on CI can be set up and configured with just a handful of steps.
The benefit of receiving fast feedback clearly speaks for itself.

   * is called, the views are sorted by the supplied comparators.
   *
   * <p>For empty or single-cell immutable tables, {@link #of()} and {@link #of(Object, Object,
   * Object)} are even more convenient.
   *
   * <p>Builder instances can be reused - it is safe to call {@link #buildOrThrow} multiple times to
   * build multiple tables in series. Each table is a superset of the tables created before it.

Dependency locking can be used in cases where reproducibility is not the main goal.
As a build author, you may want to have different frequency of dependency version updates, based on their origin for example.
In that case, it might be convenient to ignore some dependencies because you always want to use the latest version for those.

	// The value can change at any time (in response to os.Setenv("GODEBUG"))
	// and affects all extant timer channels immediately.
	// Programs wouldn't normally change over an execution,
	// but allowing it is convenient for testing and for programs
	// that do an os.Setenv in main.init or main.main.
