Projects that specify b_pie=true clutter build logs with the warning:
clang: warning: argument unused during compilation: '-pie' [-Wunused-command-line-argument]
No option is needed to produce PIE binaries because ld64 is making PIE
executables on 10.7 and above by default, as documented in ld(1).

We do this by making the mixins inherit the Compiler class only when
mypy is examining the code (using some clever inheritance shenanigans).
This caught a bunch of issues, and also lets us delete a ton of code.
1. Like with gcc's `ld`, also use the `group_start` code to create a
`--start-group`/`--end-group`
2. xc16 tricked into believing the 'link_whole' was about `--*-group`,
but it should use gcc's `--whole-archive` instead.
3. Not clear what the get_lib_prefix should really do, but for picolibc
it seems I want just `''`.
The problem with picolibc was that the `-l` would be prefixed to a lib
like `picolib/libm/libm.a`. Though of course the `-l` would be necessary
for just a plain `m` (that's what I assumed this would be used for).
I think this might need some clarification from the meson devs ;-)
Originally I had this idea that you'd be able to pass the id in to be
able to deduplicate some cases (like ld.gold and ld.bfd). That went away
because it ended up being really un-dry, but this id per instance
remained. Getting rid of it allows us to get rid of a bunch of otherwise
useless super calls, which makes adding type annotations easier.
* Add preliminary support for the CompCert C Compiler
The intention is to use this with the picolibc, so some GCC flags are
automatically filtered. Since CompCert uses GCC is for linking, those
GCC-linker flags which are used by picolibc, are automatically prefixed
with '-WUl', so that they're passed to GCC.

add CompCert to meson (does not fully work, yet)
* remove unused import and s/cls/self/
fixes the two obvious LGTM warnings
* CompCert: Do not ignore unsupported GCC flags
Some are safe to ignore, however, as per
https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/7674, they should not be
ignored by meson itself. Instead the meson.build should take care to
select only those which are actually supported by the compiler.
* remove unused variable
* Only add arguments once.
* Apply suggestions from code review
Co-authored-by: Dylan Baker <dylan@pnwbakers.com>
* Remove erroneous ' ' from '-o {}'.format()
As noticed by @dcbaker
* added release note snippet for compcert
* properly split parameters
As suggested by @dcbaker, these parameters should be properly split into multiple strings.
Co-authored-by: Dylan Baker <dylan@pnwbakers.com>
* Update add_compcert_compiler.md
Added a sentence about the state of the implementation (experimental); use proper markdown
* properly separate arguments

Without the -Xany flag, the ar command will complain when an .o file is
compiled for the non-default bit width. This change is necessary to allow
64-bit builds via a native (or cross) file.
Meson calls `path/to/clang++ --version` to guess which build toolchain the
user has picked to build the source code. For the Qualcomm LLVM toolchain,
the output have an unusual output as shown below:
```
clang version 8.0.12
Snapdragon LLVM ARM Compiler 8.0.12 (based on llvm.org 7.0+)
Target: arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi
Thread model: posix
Repository: (ssh://git-hexagon-aus.qualcomm.com:...)
InstalledDir: /pkg/qct/software/llvm/release/arm/8.0.12/bin
```
Another unusual pattern is the output of `path/to/ld.qcld --version`:
```
ARM Linker from Snapdragon LLVM ARM Compiler Version 8.0.12
ARM Linker based on LLVM version: 8.0
```
The Meson logic is modified accordingly so that Meson can correctly
determine toolchain as "LLVM aarch64 cross-compiler on GNU/Linux64 OS".
This is the expected output of
`meson --native-file native_file.ini --cross-file cross_file.ini build/aarch64-debug/`:
```
...
C++ compiler for the host machine: ... (clang 8.0.12 "clang version 8.0.12")
C++ linker for the host machine: ... ld.lld 8.0.12
...
```
I made the mistake of always selecting the debug CRT for compiler
checks on Windows 4 years ago:
https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/543https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/614
The idea was to always build the tests with debugging enabled so that
the compiler doesn't optimize the tests away. But we stopped doing
that a while ago, and also the debug CRT has no relation to that.
We should select the CRT in the same way that we do for building
targets: based on the options.
On Windows ARM64, the debug CRT for ARM64 isn't always available, and
the release CRT is available only after installing the runtime
package. Without this, we will always try to pick the debug CRT even
when --buildtype=debugoptimized or release.
Since the CompileArgs class already needs to know about the compiler,
and we really need at least per-lanaguage if not per-compiler
CompilerArgs classes, let's get the CompilerArgs instance from the
compiler using a method.
Causes spammy warnings from the linker:
ld: warning: -headerpad_max_install_names is ignored when used with -bitcode_bundle (Xcode setting ENABLE_BITCODE=YES)
This is the argument to name the implib when using the Visual Studio
Linker. This is needed by LDC and DMD when using link.exe or
lld-link.exe on windows, and is really a linker argument not a compiler
argument.
Emscripten does have a stand alone linker, wasm-ld. This patch adds the
linker, adds detection for the linker, and removes the IsLinkerMixin for
emscripten. This is a little more correct, and makes the code a lot
cleaner and more robust.
This is more correct, and forces the target(s) to be rebuilt if the
PDB files are missing. Increases the minimum required Ninja to 1.7,
which is available in Ubuntu 16.04 under backports.
We can't do the same for import libraries, because it is impossible
for us to know at configure time whether or not an import library will
be generated for a given DLL.
This makes two basic changes, 1 it moves the name of the linker into the
linker class, this should reduce the number of errors and typos, and
ensure that a linker always has one name. This then renames the linkers
to have more consistent names.
Posix/gnu linkers are called ld.<name>: ld.gold, ld.lld, ld.solaris.
Apple linkers are renamed ld64.
PE DLLs don't work like elf or mach-o, there's no way to define symbols
at run time, they must all be defined as import or export at link time.
As such there's no value in being able to have undefined symbols in
MSVC, nor does meson expose an option to change them
Fixes: #6342
If a user passes -fuse-ld=gold to gcc or clang, they expect that they'll
get ld.gold, not whatever the default is. Meson currently doesn't do
that, because it doesn't pass these arguments to the linker detection
logic. This patch fixes that. Another case that this is needed is with
clang's --target option
This is a bad solution, honestly, and it would be better to use $LD or a
cross/native file but this is needed for backwards compatability.
Fixes#6057
This partially reverts commit fe853ee516.
In particular this reverts the changes to the DynamicLinker __init__
methods. Frankly this is *bad* because it allows a mixin class (which
should not be directly instantiated) to be directly instantiated, and
complicates the init process. It also increases the amount of code for
zero gain, and makes the code less resilient to refactors.
This is returning the inverse of the correct value, which happens to
work out because in general the compilers that a link.exe-like linker is
paired with accepts the same arguments.
