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()))
```

Add a method to perform a logical AND on a feature object. The method
also takes care of raising an error if 'enabled' is ANDed with false.

This method simplifies the conversion of Feature objects to booleans.
Often, one has to use the "not" operator in order to treat "auto"
and "enabled" the same way.
"allowed()" also works well in conjunction with the require method that
is introduced in the next patch. For example,
if get_option('foo').require(host_machine.system() == 'windows').allowed() then
src += ['foo.c']
config.set10('HAVE_FOO', 1)
endif
can be used instead of
if host_machine.system() != 'windows'
if get_option('foo').enabled()
error('...')
endif
endif
if not get_option('foo').disabled() then
src += ['foo.c']
config.set10('HAVE_FOO', 1)
endif

This is so dumb, we can just insert C for you without you having to know
that you're using C under the hood. This is nicer because:
1) Meson doesn't make the user add a language they're not explicitly
using
2) If there was ever an implementaiton of Vala that didn't use C as
it's assembly language, this wouldn't make any sense.
We need to escape space in variables that gets into cflags or libs
because otherwise we cannot split compiler args when paths contains
spaces. But custom variables are unlikely to be path that gets used in
cflags/libs, and escaping them cause regression in GStreamer that use
space as separator in a list variable.
"Stored by value" is more correct way to explain that example.
Mutable vs immutable means that you cannot mutate the value (e.g. list vs tuple in Python), and the example shows that `var2` is actually mutable.
Copying/storing a reference vs value is what what matters in the assignment, in Python `a=b` means `a` and `b` are references to the same list, while in meson `a=b` copies the value of `b` into `a`.
