Eli Schwartz 22dcb692ad python module: implicitly add python dep to extensions
If there isn't a preexisting dependency on python, append one. It's
almost assuredly needed, so just do the right thing out of the box.

Xavier Claessens 807cbcb350 external-project: Add depends kwarg
The unit test was racy but surprisingly never failed on CI. The reason
is we need to ensure ninja build somelib.so before running `make` into
the external project.

docs: d_module_versions has an undocumented ability to accept integers
Dlang uses both integer version "levels" and arbitrary string
identifiers, and we support both, but don't mention it in the docs.

Also update a test case to pass one via declare_dependency. We already
test this kwarg for build_target.

Marco Trevisan (Treviño) 29c26d5b26 compilers: Add support for stand-alone leak sanitizer
Leak sanitizer can be enabled without the whole AddressSanitizer, this
can be done by passing -fsanitize=leak as documented at [1].

Meson doesn't support this, so add support for it.

fix bug in i18n merge_file/itstool_join revealed by previous commit
Logically, i18n.merge_file cannot ever take a MULTI_OUTPUT_KW, but it
does take a CT_OUTPUT_KW-like interface.

Actually trying to pass multiple merge_file outputs causes the
msgfmthelper script to be entirely malformed in the arguments it
accepts, and treat the broken one like a --flag, then exit with argparse
errors.

Even if we somehow assumed that somehow it was designed to actually
allow this, msgfmt doesn't support conceptually passing multiple outputs
so that would be a msgfmt error instead of an error inside the guts of
`meson --internal msgfmthelper`.

Same logic applies again for the itstool command and the itstool
internal helper.

Catch this error at configuration time by using the single-output kwarg
form.

Likewise, it's totally nonsense to accept multiple install_dir or
install_tags, and ever since commit 11f9638035
the CustomTarget itself won't even check this.

Florian "sp1rit"​ ad8f24f232 Implement `preserve_path` for install_headers
The `install_headers` function now has an optional argument
`preserve_path` that allows installing multi-directory
headerfile structures that live alongside sourcecode with a
single command.

For example, the headerfile structure

headers = [
  'one.h',
  'two.h',
  'alpha/one.h',
  'alpha/two.h',
  'alpha/three.h'
  'beta/one.h'
]

can now be passed to `install_headers(headers, subdir: 'mylib', preserve_path: true)`
and the resulting directory tree will look like

{prefix}
└── include
    └── mylib
        ├── alpha
        │   ├── one.h
        │   ├── two.h
        │   └── three.h
        ├── beta
        │   └── one.h
        ├── one.h
        └── two.h

Eli Schwartz aa874ea0d0 python module: default extensions to hidden symbol visibility
python compiled extensions should never need to expose any symbol other
than PyInit_* which is declared with default visibility via
PyMODINIT_FUNC on supported compilers.

Thus, a reasonably sane default is to mark any other symbols as hidden,
while still respecting any manually specified visibility.

Gate this on the version of python itself, as not all versions decorate
PyMODINIT_FUNC properly.

Eli Schwartz 04c728a126 compilers/c++: Add MSVC option to make the __cplusplus define accurate

15.7 or later. Earlier versions are not affected by this mis-feature.

See: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/reference/zc-cplusplus?view=msvc-160

This was originally applied as 0b97d58548
but later reverted because it made the CI red. Try it again, now.

Eli Schwartz 1e4d4fce22 coverage: be clever and detect config files for gcovr/lcov
gcovr will read this file anyway, but if it exists we don't need to

determine that themselves.

Fixes #3287
Closes #9761

lcov doesn't read the config file by default, but we can do the smart
thing here.

Dudemanguy 557680f7d6 add prefer_static built-in option
By default, meson will try to look for shared libraries first before
static ones. In the meson.build itself, one can use the static keyword
to control if a static library will be tried first but there's no simple
way for an end user performing a build to switch back and forth at will.
Let's cover this usecase by adding an option that allows a user to
specify if they want dependency lookups to try static or shared
libraries first. The writer of the meson.build can manually specify the
static keyword where appropriate which will override the value of this
option.

Paolo Bonzini 3a960023d3 interpreter: new function add_project_dependencies()
This function can be used to add fundamental dependencies such as glib
to all build products in one fell swoop.  This can be useful whenever,
due to a project's coding conventions, it is not really possible to
compile any source file without including the dependency.

Peter Lesslie d771fc7d0b Add support for multiline f-strings
+ Extend the parser to recognize the multiline f-strings, which the
documentation already implies will work.

The syntax is like:
```
x = 'hello'
y = 'world'

msg = f'''This is a multiline string.

Sending a message: '@x@ @y@'
'''
```

which produces:
```
This is a multiline string.

Sending a message: 'hello world'

```

+ Added some f-string tests cases to "62 string arithmetic" to exercise
the new behavior.

Fini Jastrow c16fdaeeca linkers: Add support for mold linker
[why]
Support for the relatively new mold linker is missing. If someone wants
to use mold as linker `LDFLAGS="-B/path/to/mold"` has to be added instead
of the usual `CC_LD=mold meson ...` or `CXX_LD=mold meson ...`.

[how]
Allow `mold' as linker for clang and newer GCC versions (that versions
that have support).

The error message can be a bit off, because it is generic for all GNU
like compilers, but I guess that is ok. (i.e. 'mold' is not listed as
possible linker, even if it would be possible for the given compiler.)

[note]
GCC Version 12.0.1 is not sufficient to say `mold` is supported. The
expected release with support will be 12.1.0.
On the other hand people that use the un-released 12.0.1 will probably
have built it from trunk. Allowing 12.0.1 is helping bleeding edge
developers to use mold in Meson already now.

Add small note that get_variable can publicize its data files
Nothing elaborate, just laying down the ground rules for expected usage
and pointing out that it now works. The idea is not to give people
ideas, but to let projects which already have this use case, use it with
confidence.

Xavier Claessens f2d21bf8a9 Make compilers list per subproject
Previously subprojects inherited languages already added by main
project, or any previous subproject. This change to have a list of
compilers per interpreters, which means that if a subproject does not
add 'c' language  it won't be able to compile .c files any more, even if
main project added the 'c' language.

This delays processing list of compilers until the interpreter adds the
BuildTarget into its list of targets. That way the interpreter can add
missing languages instead of duplicating that logic into BuildTarget for
the cython case.
