This provides an initial support for parsing TAP output. It detects failures
and skipped tests without relying on exit code, as well as early termination
of the test due to an error or a crash.
For now, subtests are not recorded in the TestRun object. However, because the
TAP output goes on stdout, it is printed by --print-errorlogs when a test does
not behave as expected. Handling subtests as TestRuns, and serializing them
to JSON, can be added later.
The parser was written specifically for Meson, and comes with its own
test suite.
Fixes#2923.
A custom_target, if install is set to true, will always be built by
default even if build_by_default is explicitly set to false.
Ensure that this does not happen if it's set explicitly. To keep
backward compatibility, if build_by_default is not set explicitly and
install is true, set build_by_default to true.
Fixes#4107
If a configure_file has an install_dir set, the supported install
argument is ignored, while this should have actually higher priority
than the install_dir itself.
Also check that correct types are used for `install` and `install_dir`.
Add test to verify this.
Fixes#3983
This comes up now and again when people try do do something like:
meson.build:
```meson
my_sources = ['foo.c']
subdir('subdir')
executable('foo', my_sources)
```
subdir/meson.build:
```meson
my_sources += ['bar.c']
```
Some compilers try very had to pretend they're another compiler (ICC
pretends to be GCC and Linux and MacOS, and MSVC on windows), Clang
behaves much like GCC, but now also has clang-cl, which behaves like MSVC.
This method provides an easy way to determine whether testing for MSVC
like arguments `/w1234` or gcc like arguments `-Wfoo` are likely to
succeed, without having to check for dozens of compilers and the host
operating system, (as you would otherwise have to do with ICC).
Hotdoc really wants internal links to point to the .md files instead of
the generated names. Which makes sense, as we're currently relying on
the fact that meson only generated .html pages.
When dependency(), find_library(), find_program(), or
python.find_installation() return a not-found object and disabler is
true, they return a Disabler object instead.
Remove the code responsible for implicitly compressing manpages as .gz
files. It has been established that manpage compression is a distro
packager's task, with existing distros already having their own
implementations of compression.
Fixes#4330
meson.add_dist_script, introduced in #3906, did not accept any arguments
other than script name. Since all other meson.add_*_script methods
do accept args, this makes the dist script accept them as well.
Thanks to PR #3483, set_variable can be used to assign array values.
However, the fact that it cannot be used for arrays before 0.46.1 needs
a mention in the documentation, since otherwise users can get unexpected
dependencies on later meson versions.
It's fairly common on Linux and *BSD platforms to check for these
attributes existence, so it makes sense to me to have this checking
build into meson itself. Autotools also has a builtin for handling
these, and by building them in we can short circuit cases that we know
that these don't exist (MSVC).
Additionally this adds support for two common MSVC __declspec
attributes, dllimport and dllexport. This implements the declspec
version (even though GCC has an __attribute__ version that both it and
clang support), since GCC and Clang support the MSVC version as well.
Thus it seems reasonable to assume that most projects will use the
__declspec version over teh __attribute__ version.
With this it is now possible to do
foobar = executable('foobar', ...)
meson.override_find_program('foobar', foobar)
Which is convenient for a project like protobuf which produces both a
dependency and a tool. If protobuf is updated to use
override_find_program, it can be used as
protobuf_dep = dependency('protobuf', version : '>=3.3.1',
fallback : ['protobuf', 'protobuf_dep'])
protoc_prog = find_program('protoc')
We now use the soversion to set compatibility_version and
current_version by default. This is the only sane thing we can do by
default because of the restrictions on the values that can be used for
compatibility and current version.
Users can override this value with the `darwin_versions:` kwarg, which
can be a single value or a two-element list of values. The first one
is the compatibility version and the second is the current version.
