Compiled languages are Meson's bread and butter, but hardly required.
This is convenient, because many test caases specifically, do not care
about testing the compiler interactions.
In such cases, we can skip doing compiler lookups which aren't used, as
they only slow down test setup.
Initially produced using:
for d in "test cases/failing/"* ; do rm -r _build ; ./meson.py setup "$d" _build | grep ERROR >"$d"/expected_stdout.txt; done
then converted to json with jq using:
jq --raw-input --slurp 'split("\n") | {stdout: map({line: select(. != "")})}' expected_stdout.txt >test.json
or merged with existing json using:
jq --slurp '.[0] + .[1]' test.json expected.json >test.json.new
v2:
Add some comments to explain the match when it isn't totally obvious
v3:
Add or adjust existing re: in expected output to handle '/' or '\' path
separators appearing in message, not location.
v4:
Put expected stdout in test.json, rather than a separate expected_stdout.txt file
Park comments in an unused 'comments' key, as JSON doesn't have a syntax for comments
