C#, Java, and Swift targets were manually collecting compiler arguments
rather than using the helper function for this purpose. This caused each
target type to add arguments in a different order, and to forget to add
some arguments respectively:
C#: /nologo, -warnaserror
Java: warning level (-nowarn, -Xlint:all, -Xdoclint:all), debug arguments
(-g, -g:none), -Werror
Swift: -warnings-as-errors
Fix this. Also fix up some no-longer-unused argument processing in the
Compiler implementations.
The code would create a dictionary that was of type `str : list[str] |
str | None`. Then would later try to call `len(' '.join(dict[key]))`.
This would result in two different bugs:
1. If the value is `None` it would except, since None isn't iterable
and cannot be converted to a string
2. If the value was a string, then it would double the length of the
actual string and return that, by adding a space between each
character
When getting debug file arguments we can sometimes pass None, where a
None is unexpected. This becomes a particular problem in the Cuda
compiler, where the output will unconditionally be concatenated with a
static string, resulting in an uncaught exception. This is really easy
to spot once we annotate the functions in question, where a static type
checker like mypy easily spots the issue.
This commit adds those annotations, and then fixes the resulting error.

There's a known ninja bug
(https://github.com/ninja-build/ninja/issues/1952) that running this
with dyndeps will result in Ninja deleting implicit outputs from the
dyndeps, leading to pointless rebuilds. For reference, this is what
CMake does as well.
We already have to decide whether to scan a file at configure time, so
we don't want to have to do it again at compile time, every time the
depscan rule is run. We can do this by saving and passing the language
to use in the pickle, so depscan doesn't have to re-calculate it. As an
added bonus, this removes an import from depscan
We don't need to write and pass two separate files to the depscanner,
I've used the pickle because the pickle serializer/deserializer should
be faster than JSON, thought I haven't tested.
We'll need it in a moment for get_base_compile_args -> get_assert_args.

When linking with a Rust rlib, we should also link with its external
system dependencies. This was currently done only for C ABI crates, do
it for both rlib and staticlib now.
Using scan-build gives the following warning:
"Running the setup command as `meson [options]` instead of
`meson setup [options]` is ambiguous and deprecated."
This commit fixes this issue by adding the setup keyword to the meson command.
This patch adds 'depends' keyword to compiler.preprocess().
It allows to execute other targets before doing the preprocessing.
Test-case is added to demonstrate that functionality: it
generates the header before preprocessing the C source that
uses that generated header.
Thanks to @bruchar1 for getting this patch to work.
* Vala: depend on gresources
Valac uses gresource at compile time to look up .ui files
* Automatically pass `--gresourcesdir` to valac
* gnome.compile_resources: clean up duplicate paths better
* Add a test for improved gresouce handling
Nvcc doesn't support `-MQ` flag, so we have to manually escape cuda
target name.
This commit escape `$out` to `$CUDA_ESCAPED_TARGET`, so now we can just
use `-MT` flag in nvcc to generate header dependencies.
This replaces all of the Apache blurbs at the start of each file with an
`# SPDX-License-Identifier: Apache-2.0` string. It also fixes existing
uses to be consistent in capitalization, and to be placed above any
copyright notices.
This removes nearly 3000 lines of boilerplate from the project (only
python files), which no developer cares to look at.
SPDX is in common use, particularly in the Linux kernel, and is the
recommended format for Meson's own `project(license: )` field
Meson supports other transpilers generating source code for which
compilation rules need to be generated other than Vala. Reflect this
in variable names and comments to avoid confusion.
This was originally added for vala only, with the rationale that vala
generates bad code that has warnings. Unfortunately, the rationale was
fatally flawed. The compiler warns about a number of things, which the
user can control depending on their code (or their code generator's
code), but some of those things are absolutely critical to warn about.
In particular, GCC 14 and clang 17 are updating their defaults to warn
-- and error by default for -- invalid C code that breaks the standard,
but has been silently accepted for over 20 years "because lots of people
do it". The code in question is UB, and compilers will generate faulty
machine code that behaves erroneously and probably has a mass of CVEs
waiting to happen.
Compiler warnings are NOT safe to just... universally turn off. Compiler
warnings could be either:
- coding style lints
- threatening statements that the code is factually and behaviorally wrong
There is no magic bullet to ignore the former while respecting the
latter. And the very last thing we should ever do is pass `-w`, since
that causes ALL warnings to be disabled, even the manually added
`-Werror=XXX`.
If vala generated code creates warnings, then the vala compiler can
decrease the log level by generating better code, or by adding warning
suppression pragmas for *specific* issues, such as unused functions.
In the case r1 -> s1 -> s2 where s1 and s2 are uninstalled C static
libraries, the libs1.a rule does not depend on libs2.a. That means that
r1 rule must depend on both s1 and s2.
Pass link arguments directly down to linker by using `-C link-args=`
instead of letting rustc/linker resolve `-l` arguments. This solves
problems with e.g. +verbatim not being portable. Note that we also pass
`-l` args as `-Clink-args=-l` because rustc would otherwise reorder
arguments and put `-lstdc++` before `-Clink-args=libfoo++.a`.
However, when building a rlib/staticlib we should still use `-l`
arguments because that allows rustc to bundle static libraries we
link-whole. In that case, since there is no platform specific dynamic
linker, +verbatim works.
This also fix installed staticlib that now bundle uninstalled static
libraries it links to (recursively). This is done by putting them all
into self.link_whole_targets instead of putting their objects into
self.objects, and let rustc do the bundling. This has the extra
advantage that rustc can bundle static libries built with CustomTarget.
Disable bundling in all other cases, otherwise we could end up with
duplicated objects in static libraries, in diamond dependency graph
case.

When a user invokes the scan-build target that Meson generates
all subprojects are included in the resulting report. This commit
modifies the invocation of scan-build to exclude all bugs that
scan-build finds in the subprojects from the final report.
A release note has also been added describing the changed behaviour.
Reduce code duplication by iterating target.get_dependencies() instead
of iterating target.link_targets and target.link_whole_targets
separately. This has the extra benefit of taking into account
transitive dependencies.
- For indirect C ABI static libraries, this adds missing "-l static="
arguments.
- For indirect Rust ABI dependencies, this adds missing "-L" arguments.
- Verbatim modifier was used only for link_whole_targets, it's now
always used when available.
Fixes: #11694
Previously, AIX support was updated to archive shared libraries per AIX
platform conventions, which expect .a files that contain .so files. This
is usually correct, but an edge case occurs for loadable plugins, e.g.
what meson creates for `shared_module()`. A notable example is python
extensions (SciPy, for example).
These should *not* be archived, because the .so file itself needs to be
loaded as a plugin. For example, SciPy fails to import in the python
interpreter.
Handle this by differentiating between plugins and regular libraries,
and only archiving when safe to do so.
Fixes#12219
The MSVC linker errors out if a line in the rspfile is too long.
The resolution is to use the built-in ninja keyword $in_newline instead of $in, which splits each input into separate lines.
This also moves the repacking into the interpreter, making the build
implementation simpler and removing a layering violation. This also
makes use a defaultdict to remove the need to call `.get()`
Way back in Meson 0.25, support was added to `vala_args` for Files.
Strangely, this was never added to any other language, though it's been
discussed before. For type safety, it makes more sense to handle this in
the interpreter level, and pass only strings into the build IR.
This is accomplished by adding a `depend_files` field to the
`BuildTarget` class (which is not exposed to the user), and adding the
depend files into that field, while converting the arguments to relative
string paths. This ensures both the proper build dependencies happen, as
well as that the arguments are always strings.
lcov 2.0 deprecates `--rc lcov_branch_coverage=1` for `--rc branch_coverage=1` and
gives an error when an exclude is used on a non existing directory.
I added a version check for lcov and removed the subprojects directory from the
exclusion list if it does not exist.
Fixes#11995
