Add ability to mutate a target's `extra_files` list through the
rewriter.
The logic is copied from sources add/rm, but changes the `extra_files`
kwarg instead of the sources positional argument.
Has additional logic to handle creating the `extra_files` list if it
doesn't exist.
There are thee arguments that are passed directly to CustomTarget which
are not in the permittedKwargs: depends, depend_files, and build_always.
The first two are obviously generically useful, as they allow creating
correct ordering. The latter, not so much. Since it was an error to pass
it, we'll just delete it.
generate_gir forces building both the typelib and gir, and some people
only want one or the other (probably only the typelib?) which means
flagging the other as install_dir: false in the same way custom_target
supports.
As this always worked, albeit undocumented, make sure it keeps working.
It's pretty reasonable to allow, anyway.

Since they will never be used outside of the build directory, they do
not need to literally contain the .o files, and references will be
sufficient.
This covers a major use of object libraries, which is that the static
library would potentially take up a lot of space by including another
copy of every .o file.

* Revert "README: Don't recommend using as a standalone script"
This reverts commit 9763bf65c6.
zipapps work fine now that we have a single entry point. Time to
recommend them again.
* update zipapp documentation to recommend the current packaging script
Also update the website documentation to mention this at all.
It can be either:
- boolean: the option is completely deprecated.
- list: some choices are deprecated.
- dict: some choices are deprecated and replaced by another.
Fixes: #7444
This replaces the absolute hack of using
```
install_subdir('nonexisting', install_dir: 'share')
```
which requires you to make sure you don't accidentally or deliberately
have a completely different directory with the same name in your source
tree that is full of files you don't want installed. It also avoids
splitting the name in two and listing them in the wrong order.
You can also set the install mode of each directory component by listing
them one at a time in order, and in fact create nested structures at
all.

Yelp currently can take sources two different ways, the first is via
variadic arguments, the second is by a keyword argument. If the keyword
is passed then the variadic arguments are silently ignored, which is
obviously not ideal. Fortunately the variadic form was never documented,
and is likely not in wide use.
This patch fixes it by deprecating the variadic form, and warning if
both are passed. It does not change behavior as someone may be relying
on it.
Another commit in my quest to rid InterpreterBase from all higher
level object processing logic.
Additionally, there is a a logic change here, since `str.join` now
uses varargs and can now accept more than one argument (and supports
list flattening).
Clippy is a compiler wrapper for rust that provides an extra layer of
linting. It's quite popular, but unfortunately doesn't provide the
output of the compiler that it's wrapping in it's output, so we don't
detect that clippy is rustc. This small patch adds a new compiler class
(that is the Rustc class with a different id) and the necessary logic to
detect that clippy is in fact rustc)
Fixes: #8767
Currently this implements 3 warning levels, 1 and 2 are just the
"default" set by rustc, 3, is "everything is a warning", and 0 is
"nothign is a warning".
This patch adds a new meson built-in option for cython, allowing it to
target C++ instead of C as the intermediate language. This can, of
course, be done on a per-target basis using the `override_options`
keyword argument, or for the entire project in the project function.
There are some things in this patch that are less than ideal. One of
them is that we have to add compilers in the build layer, but there
isn't a better place to do it because of per target override_options.
There's also some design differences between Meson and setuptools, in
that Meson only allows options on a per-target rather than a per-file
granularity.
Fixes#9015
Older meson versions would not honor the `<lang>_args` and `<lang>_link_args` in the built-in
options section, add a note about this to the relevant section as it can cause quite some surprises
when using a crossfile with an older meson version.
We've now fixed it so it works, and it provides useful functionality,
e.g. creating a custom target that builds multiple gettext domains in
one action.
Users may wish to make use of these files for their own purposes.
For example, the -pot and -update-po pseudo targets could be reused in
an alias_target(), and at least one person wanted to reuse the built .mo
files as custom_target input.
Fixes#6227
This is useful information for solving the OS bootstrapping problem.
Give it some visibility.
Also, I don't want to forget where I found any of these. :D
ref. #2335
It should build the fallback subprject with default_library=static and
override the dependency for both static=True and static kwarg not given.
Fixes: #8050.
Meson already works like that, except in do_copydir() that requires
absolute destdir. Better explicitly support that instead of leaving it
undefined and unconsistent.
Sonarcloud.io only can read the sonarqube based report that gcovr can
produce. This change enables support for this output in meson and
ninja.

This works for `moc_*` and `ui_files`, but it never could have worked
for `qresources` due to the implementation assuming a `str` or `File`.
To restore previous compatibility I've added `CustomTarget` where it
would have worked, but not where it would have failed, the former would
raised an exception along the lines anyway.
Fixes#9007
Plan to replace the hard-coded list of 'may be skipped' framework tests in
skippable() with annotations in test.json which record 'will be skipped
in these specific CI jobs'.
If the value of the MESON_CI_JOBNAME env var (an arbitrary string
expected to be unique for each CI configuration) contains any of the
strings in the `skip_on_jobname` key in test.json, the test is expected
to output MESON_SKIP_TEST.
Unexpected skips or runs are treated as an error.
Future work: Maybe we should add additional count categories 'unexpected
skip' and 'unexpected not skipped', rather than counting those as 'skipped'
and 'failed', respectively.
Make it clear that search order for 'auto' there only applies to generic
dependency names. Drop 'system' from that list, as it's not actually
used for generic dependencies (nor is it defined what it would do).
This is useful both from the perspective of optional functionality that
requires a module, and also as I continue to progress with Meson++,
which will probably not implement all of the modules that Meson itself
does.
This moves all the code into a class and call its run() method in a
thread. The class queues all logs to print them at the end to avoid
mixing output of multiple actions.
* backends: Add a Visual Studio 2013 backend
This is more-or-less a quick port from the VS2015 backend, except that
we update the Visual Studio version strings and toolset versions
accordingly. Also correct the generator string for Visual Studio 2015
in mesonbuild/cmake/common.py.
* backend: Add VS2012 backend
Similar to what we did for Visual Studio 2013, add a Visual Studio 2012
backend.
* vs2010backend.py: Implement `link_whole:` if needed
We actually need Visual Studio 2015 Update 2 to use `/WHOLEARCHIVE:`,
which is what we are currently using for `link_whole:` on Visual Studio.
For Visual Studio versions before that, we need to expand from the
static targets that were indicated by `link_whole:`, and any of the
sub-dependent targets that were pulled in via the dependent target's
`link_whole:`. This wil ensure `link_whole:` would actually work in
such cases.
* vs2010backend.py: Handle objects from generated sources
Unforunately, we can't use backends.determine_ext_objs() reliably, as
the Visual Studio backends handle this differently.
* vs2010backend.py: Fix generating VS2010 projects
Visual Studio 2010 (at least the Express Edition) does not set the envvar
%VisualStudioVersion% in its command prompt, so fix generating VS2010
projects by taking account into this, so that we can determine the location
of vcvarsall.bat correctly.
* whole archive test: Disable on vs2012/2013 backends too
The Visual Studio 2012/2013 IDE has problems handling the items that would be
generated from this test case, so skip this test when using
--backend=vs[2012|2013]. This test does work for the Ninja backend when
VS2012 or VS2013 is used, though.
Consolidate this error message with XCode along with the vs2010 backend.
* docs: Add the new vs2012 and vs2013 backends
Let people know that we have backends for vs2012 and 2013. Also let
people know that generating Visual Studio 2010 projects have been fixed
and the pre-vs2015 backends now handle the `link_whole:` project option.
QEMU would like to use the result of extract_objects in a custom_target;
examples are using objcopy, or using the object files as the key to look
up command line arguments in compile_commands.json. This is slightly
peculiar and not covered by the test suite, but it works; in order to avoid
regressions, add a test case and document it.
As a side-effect from #8885 `find_program()` returns now `Executable`
objects when `meson.override_find_program` is called with an
executable target. To resolve this conflict the missing methods
from `ExternalProgram` are added to `BuildTarget`.
This reverts commit 72365e6856.
This is a vanity project that no longer exists.
See discussion at #8890, which still requires further thought but we can
at least start off by removing something clearly invalid.
Checking how to aquire the *gettext family of symbols portably is
annoyingly complex, and may come from the libc, or standalone.
builtin dependency:
This detects if libintl is unneeded, because the *gettext family of
symbols is available in the libc.
system dependency:
This detects if libintl is installed as separate software, linkable via
-lintl; unfortunately, GNU gettext does not ship pkg-config files for
it.
Fixes#3929
Add a method to downgrade an option to disabled if it is not used.
This is useful to avoid unnecessary search for dependencies;
for example
dep = dependency('dep', required: get_option('feature').disable_auto_if(not foo))
can be used instead of the more verbose and complex
if get_option('feature').auto() and not foo then
dep = dependency('', required: false)
else
dep = dependency('dep', required: get_option('feature'))
endif
or to avoid unnecessary dependency searches:
dep1 = dependency('dep1', required: get_option('foo'))
# dep2 is only used together with dep1
dep2 = dependency('dep2', required: get_option('foo').disable_auto_if(not dep1.found()))
```
