Our approach to unity builds with vala is broken, you cannot unify the
generated C files, as they contain duplicate symbols. We would need to
instead combine the files while they are still in their vala form, then
convert that to C and compile the unified C file.
This does not fix the linked issue, as this removed the ability to do
vala unity builds, but it does allow running vala with `--unity=on`.

Various GNOME projects have scripts that does similar task, better do it
directly in meson. This ensures it's done correctly regarding usage of
subprojects and pkg-config. See for example this gtk bug:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/3626.
Fixes: #8268
Following #7890, this patch introduces the ability to read the contents
of a file to the fs module.
This patch introduces the ability to read files at configure time, but
has some restrictions:
- binary files are not supported (I don't think this will prove a
problem, and if people are wanting to do something with binary
files, they should probably be shelling out to their own script).
- Only files outside the build directory allowed. This limitation
should prevent build loops.
Given that reading an arbitrary file at configure time can affect the
configuration in almost arbitrary ways, meson should force a reconfigure
when the given file changes. This is non-configurable, but this can
easily be changed with a future keyword argument.
Both Clang and GCC support using multiple threads for preforming link
time optimizaions, and they can now be configured using the
`-Db_lto_threads` option.
Fixes#7820
This commit fixes the test that asserts on whether the lchmod() function
should have been detected as available by Meson. It does so by assuming
that on Linux systems not using glibc, the function will be available.
- fix comment about lchmod on Linux: musl has implemented the function
correctly since 2013, so the assumption in the test wasn't correct.
Furthermore, musl doesn't use glibc's stub mechanism.
- fix include to receive __GLIBC__ definition: including almost any
header in glibc will end up defining __GLIBC__, since most headers
include <features.h>. The <gnu/libc-version.h> header was probably
chosen because of its name, but its actual purpose is defining functions
for checking glibc version at runtime (instead of what the binary was
built with), so it isn't necessary to use it. Since it is a completely
non standard header, including it makes the test suite fail on musl due
to not finding the header.
It is common, at least in GNOME projects, to have scripts that must be
run only in the final destination, to update system icon cache, etc.
Skipping them from Meson ensures we can properly log that they have not
been run instead of relying on such scripts to to it (they don't
always).
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
It doesn't make sense to check for the presence of git every time we use
it, but short-circuit any attempt to use a wrap right from the get-go
because we are trying to be fancy with submodules.
If git is not installed, simply do not try to figure out whether the
wrap is a submodule that can potentially be checked out/updated for the
user. Just take it on faith that it isn't one.
Fixes#2623
