Since trying to cross compile for Windows from Linux (WSL) and having
paths like this:
'-L/mnt/c/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio/2017/\
Community/VC/Tools/MSVC/14.15.26726/lib/x64'
I found that the spaces and brackets in the paths weren't properly
escaped by the Ninja backend.
Building a cross compiler (`build == host != target`) is not cross
compiling. As such, it doesn't make sense to handle it under
`is_cross_build`.
(N.B. Building a standard library for a cross compiler would require
cross compiling, but Meson has support to do such a thing as part of a
compiler build currently.)
If you change only some project in meson.build,
only that .vcxproj file will be updated and reloaded.
If you change something not related to VS solution and projects
or simply touch the meson.build file, nothing will be reloaded.
Accomodate clang-cl /showIncludes output in detect_vs_dep_prefix().
clang-cl outputs lines terminated with \n, not \r\n
v2:
should invoke the detected compiler, not hardcode 'cl'
Handle clang's cl or clang-cl being in PATH, or set in CC/CXX
Future work: checking the name of the executable here seems like a bad idea.
These compilers will fail to be detected if they are renamed.
v2:
Update compiler.get_argument_type() test
Fix comparisons of id inside CCompiler, backends and elsewhere
v3:
ClangClCPPCompiler should be a subclass of ClangClCCompier, as well
Future work: mocking in test_find_library_patterns() is effected, as we
now test for a subclass, rather than self.id in CCompiler.get_library_naming()
This reduces the build time about 2 sec. The result itself is not hard
to calculate. However, persistent join calls with the same 2 strings are
not that usefull. This also caused about 600'000 calls to
get_target_dir, we are now down to 60'000 calls form this function to
get_target_dir.
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
* Don't try to import empty-string custom target include dirs
* Import current directory if custom target dir is empty
This restores the previous behavior and fixes test failures caused by
the previous commit.
If builddir and sourcedir have different drive letters, a relative path
doesn't exist, and os.path.relpath fails with a ValueError exception.
This just fixes the places which are hit by test cases in a simple-minded
way. There are several other uses of os.path.relpath(), which might be
suspect.
Meson 0.48.0 some validation for using compiled binaries in custom
targets and generators, which is nice. It didn't take into account
though that as long as the OS is the same, some architectures support
running a related architecture natively (x86_64 can run x86 natively,
for example).
Fortunately we already have a method for covering this case available
through the Environment class.
Fixes#4254
