The build level shouldn't be deal with interpreter objects, by the time
they leave the intpreter they should be in the Meson middle layer
representaiton
Dependencies is already a large and complicated package without adding
programs to the list. This also allows us to untangle a bit of spaghetti
that we have.
All changes were created by running
"pyupgrade --py3-only --keep-percent-format"
and committing the results. I have not touched string formatting for
now.
- use set literals
- simplify .format() parameter naming
- remove __future__
- remove default "r" mode for open()
- use OSError rather than compatibility aliases
- remove stray parentheses in function(generator) scopes
Rather than having to manually build the locale aware man paths with
`install_data('foo.fr.1', install_dir: join_paths(get_option('mandir'), 'fr', 'man1'), rename: 'foo.1')`
Support doing
`install_man('foo.fr.1', locale: 'fr')`
By default all subprojects are installed. If --skip-subprojects is given
with no value only the main project is installed. If --skip-subprojects
is given with a value, it should be a coma separated list of subprojects
to skip and all others will be installed.
Fixes: #2550.
Re-implement it in backend using the same code path as for
custom_target(). This for example handle setting PATH on Windows when
command is an executable.
This new keyword argument makes it possible to run specific
test setups only on a subset of the tests. For example, to
mark some tests as slow and avoid running them by default:
add_test_setup('quick', exclude_suites: ['slow'], is_default: true)
add_test_setup('slow')
It will then be possible to run the slow tests with either
`meson test --setup slow` or `meson test --suite slow`.
Add function to Build class to get targets of type BuildTarget
Update xcode backend to call get_build_targets when iterating over targets.
This resolves crash in xcode backend when using custom targets:
AttributeError: ‘CustomTarget’ object has no attribute ‘objects’
On Windows this would fail because of missing DLL:
```
mylib = library(...)
exe = executable(..., link_with: mylib)
meson.add_install_script(exe)
```
The reason is on Windows we cannot rely on rpath to find libraries from
build directory, they are searched in $PATH. We already have all that
mechanism in place for custom_target() using ExecutableSerialisation
class, so reuse it for install/dist/postconf scripts too.
This has bonus side effect to also use exe_wrapper for those scripts.
Fixes: #8187
There are still caveats here. Rust/cargo handles generated sources by
writing out all targets of a single repo into a single output directory,
setting a path to that via a build-time environment variable, and then
include those files via a set of functions and macros. Meson's build
layout is naturally different, and ninja makes working with environment
variables at compile time difficult.
Fixes#8157
we have two functions to do the exact same thing, and they're basically
implemented the same way. Instead, let's just use the BuildTarget one,
as it's more generally available.
Currently InstallDir is part of the interpreter, and is an Interpreter
object, which is then put in the Build object. This is a layering
violation, the interperter should have a Holder for build data. This
patch fixes that.
This patches takes the options work to it's logical conclusion: A single
flat dictionary of OptionKey: UserOptions. This allows us to simplify a
large number of cases, as we don't need to check if an option is in this
dict or that one (or any of 5 or 6, actually).
I would have prefered to do these seperatately, but they are combined in
some cases, so it was much easier to convert them together.
this eliminates the builtins_per_machine dict, as it's duplicated with
the OptionKey's machine parameter.
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`.
So that editors that can fold code (vim, vscode, etc) can correctly fold
functions, instead of getting confused by code that doesn't follow the
current indention. Also, it makes the code easier to read.
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.
If static_library is used as a convenience library (e.g. for link_whole)
it should in principle not need position independent code.
However, if the executables that the libraries is linked to are PIE,
the non-PIC objects in the static library will cause linker errors.
To avoid this, obey b_pie for static libraries if either b_staticpic=false
or they use "pic: false".
Without this patch, QEMU cannot use b_staticpic, which causes a slowdown
on some QEMU benchmarks up to 20%.
extract_objects is repeatedly looking up files in self.sources, which is a list.
Convert it to a set beforehand so that the lookup is O(1).
On a QEMU build, the time spent in extract_objects goes from 3.292s to 0.431s.

This gives the version that the feature was deprecated in, and doesn't
print the warning if the project supports versions of meson in which the
project wasn't deprecated.
in tree like dep structures with a lot of source: declarations, this can
result in a lot of presure on the source list. this saves ~3s out of 7s
in the interpretor stage in efl build.
Generally, we'd want to use str() rather than repr() in error messages
anyhow, as that explicitly gives something designed to be read by
humans.
Sometimes {!r} is being used as a shortcut to avoid writing the quotes
in '{!s}'.
Unfortunately, these things aren't quite the same, as the repr of a
string containing '\' (the path separator on Windows) will have those
escaped.
We don't have a good string representation to use for the arbitrary
internal object used as an argument for install_data() when it's neither
a string nor file (which doesn't lead to a good error message), so drop
that for the moment.
If the feature hadn't been broken in the first place it would have
worked on them anyway, so we might as well expose it. I'm loathe to do
it because one of the best features of meson in a mixed C/C++ code base
is that meson figures out the right linker every time, but there are
cases people have where they want to force a linker. We'll let them keep
the pieces.
Currently it does nothing, as the field is read too late, and additional
languages have already been considered. As such if the language
requested is closer to C (for example you want C but have a C++ source
with only extern C functions) then link_langauge is ignored.
Fixes#6453
A current rather untyped storage of options is one of the things that
contributes to the options code being so complex. This takes a small
step in synching down by storing the compiler options in dicts per
language.
Future work might be replacing the langauge strings with an enum, and
defaultdict with a custom struct, just like `PerMachine` and
`MachineChoice`.
Adjust the handling of a name_prefix: [] kwarg to be the same as
name_suffix: [] kwarg, i.e. identically to the case where it's omitted,
so BuildTarget.prefix doesn't get set (so the default is used).
Also clarify the error reported when a non-empty list is used.
Similar to meson.override_find_program() but overrides the result of the
dependency() function.
Also ensure that dependency() always returns the same result when
looking for the same dependency, this fixes cases where parts of the
project could be using a system library and other parts use the library
provided by a subproject.
This makes the typing annotations basically impossible to get right, but
if we only have one key then it's easy. Fortunately python provides
comprehensions, so we don't even need the ability to pass multiple keys,
we can just [extract_as_list(kwargs, c) for c in ('a', 'b', 'c')] and
get the same result.
listify shouldn't be unholdering, it's a function to turn scalar values
into lists, or flatten lists. Having a separate function is clearer,
easier to understand, and can be run recursively if necessary.
This gives consistent reporting of this error for all platforms.
Also, reporting this error when constructing the BuildTarget, rather
than discovering the problem during backend generation means that the
error is reported against with a location.
declare_dependencies
This allows dependencies declared in subprojects to set variables, and
for those variables to be accessed via the get_variable method, just
like those from pkg-config and cmake. This makes it easier to use
projects from subprojects in a polymorphic manner, lowering the
distinction between a subproject and an external dependency every
further.
There are three problems:
1) Dunders like `__lt__` and `__gt__` don't return bool, they return
either a bool or the NotImplemented singleton to signal that they don't
know how to be compared.
2) The don't take type object, the take `typing.Any`
3) They need to return NotImplemented if the comparison is not
implemented, this allows python to try the inverse dunder from the
other object. If that object returns NotImplemented as well a
TypeError is raised.
t.pic won't be defined. We can only hope it has been built with -fPIC.
Linker will complain otherwise any way.
t.extract_all_objects_recurse() won't be defined. We could support this
case by extracting the archive somewhere and pick object files.
Some things, like `method[...](...)` or `x: ... = ...` python 3.5
doesn't support, so I made a comment instead with the intention that it
can someday be made into a real annotation.
In most cases instead pass `for_machine`, the name of the relevant
machines (what compilers target, what targets run on, etc). This allows
us to use the cross code path in the native case, deduplicating the
code.
As one can see, environment got bigger as more information is kept
structured there, while ninjabackend got a smaller. Overall a few amount
of lines were added, but the hope is what's added is a lot simpler than
what's removed.
This function is currently setup with keyword arguments defaulting to
None. However, it is never called without passing all of it's arguments
explicitly, and only one of it's arguments would actually be valid as
None. So just drop that, and make them all positional. And annotate
them.

This isn't safe given the way python implements default arguments.
Basically python store a reference to the instance it was passed, and
then if that argument is not provided it uses the default. That means
that two calls to the same function get the same instance, if one of
them mutates that instance every subsequent call that gets the default
will receive the mutated instance. The idiom to this in python is to use
None and replace the None,
def in(value: str, container: Optional[List[str]]) -> boolean:
return src in (container or [])
if there is no chance of mutation it's less code to use or and take
advantage of None being falsy. If you may want to mutate the value
passed in you need a ternary (this example is stupid):
def add(value: str, container: Optional[List[str]]) -> None:
container = container if container is not None else []
container.append(value)
I've used or everywhere I'm sure that the value will not be mutated by
the function and erred toward caution by using ternaries for the rest.
If find_program() returns a file from the source directory, anything
that uses it should add the file to the dependencies, so that they are
rebuilt whenever the script changes. Generator is not doing that.
While at it, I am doing two related fixes:
- Generator is not checking whther the generator actually was found,
resulting in a Python error involving NoneType if it isn't. To minimize
backwards compatibility issues, I am only raising the error when
g.process() is acutally called.
- the error message for custom_target with a nonexisting program
erroneously mention a not-found external program "nonexistingprogram".
The new error is similar to the one I am adding for generators.
Warn when someone tries to use append() or prepend() on an env var
which already has an operation set on it. People seem to think that
multiple append/prepend operations stack, but they don't.
Closes https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/5087
I'll be using this later, but it seems useful to allow dependencies to
that have special handlers to declare that they depend on other
dependencies. This should allow us to stop treating threads special
internally and just make it a normal dependency.
Since the "-l<lib>" flags in the build.ninja file are passed in
"--start-group"/"--end-group" flags, there should be no need to have any
library listed twice, even if there are circular dependencies. Therefore we
can eliminate duplicates. For speed, rather than deduplicating at the end
of the process, it's faster to not add the duplicate flags in the first
place.
This should help fix#2150
