This was all layering violations before. Now we have Headers in the
build module, and a holder in the interpreter. All of the type
validation is done in interpreter method for `install_headers`.
This fix a regression introduced in Meson 0.56.0 when using python 3.5.
Also mention in documentation that using a meson dict does not guarantee
ordering.
Fixes: #8074.
Allow methods on the compiler object to receive internal dependencies,
as long as they only specify compiler/linker arguments or other
dependencies that satisfy the same requirements.
This is useful if you're using internal dependencies to add special
"-D" flags such as -DNCURSES_WIDECHAR, -D_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED or
-DGLIB_STATIC_COMPILATION.
Some CMake packages fail to find at all if no version is specified.
This commit adds a cmake_version parameter to dependency() to allow you
to specify the requested version.
The only way to add it via warning_level is top opt in to -Wextra too.
But this is often not really desirable, since -Wextra is not stable --
it changes its meaning every compiler release, thus mysteriously adding
new warnings. Furthermore, it's not really the same kind of warning -- a
pedantic warning is always correct that your code is wrong, but defines
wrongness as "not per the portable standard". Unlike -Wextra it doesn't
try to judge your code to see if you're doing something that is "often
not what you meant", but is prone to false positives.
Really, we need different *kinds* of warning levels, possibly as an
array -- not just a monotonically increasing number. But since there's
currently nothing flexible enough to specify -Wpedantic without -Wextra,
we will just remove the warning for the former, and let people add it to
their project arguments in peace.
Right now sub-sub projects are not correctly registered, because we
don't have a way to pass up past the first level of subproject. This
patch changes that by making the build_Def_files as defined in the
Interpreter initializer accurate for translated dependencies, ie, cmake
dependencies won't define a dependency on a non-existent meson.build.
This means that it can always add the subi.build_def_files because they
are always accurate.
The deprecation message for "gui_app" is appearing for every target
rather than just once, and even if the required version is older
than 0.56.0. Use @FeatureDeprecatedKwargs to fix both issues.
It is much easier to not try to parse options into complicated
structures until we actually collected all options: machine files,
command line, project()'s default_options, environment.
- Log the message before raising the exception.
- Add a reason when the dependency is not found because the subproject
failed to configure, because it was not obvious in the case the
subproject failed to configure earlier while looking for an optional
dependency.
- Avoid double message when the subproject has overriden the dependency
and we provided the fallback variable as well.
wraps from subprojects are now merged into the list of wraps from main
project, so they can be used to download dependencies of dependencies
instead of having to promote wraps manually. If multiple projects
provides the same wrap file, the first one to be configured wins.
This also fix usage of sub-subproject that don't have wrap files. We can
now configure B when its source tree is at
`subprojects/A/subprojects/B/`. This has the implication that we cannot
assume that subproject "foo" is at `self.subproject_dir / 'foo'` any
more.
dirname is confusing because the name of a subproject does not always
match its directory name, the wrap file can define another directory.
For example foo.wrap will often extract the subproject into foo-1.2
directory, in that case the subproject name is 'foo' and the subproject
directory is 'foo-1.2'.
You could always specify a list of tests to run by passing the names as
arguments to `meson test`. If there were multiple tests with that name (in the
same project or different subprojects), all of them would be run. Now you can:
1. Run all tests with the specified name from a specific subproject: `meson test subprojname:testname`
1. Run all tests defined in a specific subproject: `meson test subprojectname:`
Also forbid ':' in test names. We already forbid this elsewhere, so
should not be a big deal.
Sometimes, distros want to configure a project so that it does not
use any bundled library. In this case, meson.build might want
to do something like this, where slirp is a combo option
with values auto/system/internal:
slirp = dependency('', required: false)
if get_option('slirp') != 'internal'
slirp = dependency('slirp',
required: get_option('slirp') == 'system')
endif
if not slirp.found()
slirp = subproject('libslirp', ...) .variable('...')
endif
and we cannot use "fallback" because the "system" value should never
look for a subproject.
This worked until 0.54.x, but in 0.55.x this breaks because of the
automatic subproject search. Note that the desired effect here is
backwards compared to the policy of doing an automatic search on
"required: true"; we only want to do the search if "required" is false!
It would be possible to look for the dependency with `required: false`
and issue the error manually, but it's ugly and it may produce an error
message that looks "different" from Meson's.
Instead, with this change it is possible to achieve this effect in an
even simpler way:
slirp = dependency('slirp',
required: get_option('slirp') != 'auto',
allow_fallback: get_option('slirp') == 'system' ? false : ['slirp', 'libslirp_dep'])
The patch also adds support for "allow_fallback: true", which is
simple and enables automatic fallback to a wrap even for non-required
dependencies.
Force_fallback is not an interpreter keyword argument, and there
is no reason to handle it as one since it is not used anywhere
else (and in fact is explicitly ignored by get_dep_identifier).
Use a Python keyword argument instead, which makes the code
simpler.
Those function are common source of issue when used in a subproject because they
point to the parent project root which is rarely what is expected and is a
violation of subproject isolation.
This means that, in the common case of a simple meson.build which
doesn't contain any 'native: true' targets, we won't require a native
compiler when cross-compiling, without needing any changes in the
meson.build.
when that statement gets evaluated, the interpreter remembers the
version target and if it was part of the evaluation of a `if` condition
then the target meson version is temporally overriden within that
if-block.
Fixes: #7590
- Exceptions raised during subproject setup were ignored.
- Allow c_stdlib in native file, was already half supported.
- Eliminate usage of subproject variable name by overriding
'<lang>_stdlib' dependency name.
This creates a full set of option in environment that mirror those in
coredata, this mirroring of the coredata structure is convenient because
lookups int env (such as when initializing compilers) becomes a straight
dict lookup, with no list iteration. It also means that all of the
command line and machine files are read and stored in the correct order
before they're ever accessed, simplifying the logic of using them.
This is like the project options, but for meson builtin options.
The only real differences here have to do with the differences between
meson builtin options and project options. Some meson options can be set
on a per-machine basis (build.pkg_config_path vs pkg_config_path) others
can be set on a per-subproject basis, but should inherit the parent
setting.
'native:' keyword was only added in 0.54. For projects declaring
meson_version >= 0.54, warn, because those projects can and should set
the keyword. For older projects declaring support for older versions,
don't warn and use the default implicitly.
