Added method concatenate_string_literals to CCompiler. Will concatenate
string literals.
Added keyword argument 'concatenate_string_literals' to Compiler.get_define.
If used will apply concatenate_string_literals to its return value.
Because vala is not listed in clike_langs, is_source(fname) is returning False
for Vala source files. Therefore, extract_all_objects() is completely empty
for Vala programs.
Fixes#791
Otherwise we can end up searching for the same library tens of times,
because pkg-config does not de-duplicate -lfoo args before returning
them.
We use -Wl,--start-group/end-group, so we do not need to worry about
ordering issues in static libraries.
Normally, people would just pass -fembed-bitcode in CFLAGS, but this
conflicts with -Wl,-dead_strip_dylibs and -bundle, so we need it as
an option so that those can be quietly disabled.
This checks not only for existence, but also for usability of the
header, which means it does a full compilation and not just
pre-processing or __has_include.
Fixes https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/2246
* mesonbuild/compilers/c.py: Make the `find_library` method more generic by allowing the user to supply the `code` for compiling and linking.
* mesonbuild/compilers/fortran.py: Use the methods inherited from `Compiler` base class where appropriate. Also reuse `CComiler` methods where applicable. This should be sufficient to get various compiler/linker arguments as well as to compile and link Fortran programs. This was tested with `gfortran` compiler, and while the other compilers ought to work for simple cases, their methods are primarily inherited from the base `FortranCompiler` class.
* test cases/fortran/10 find library/gzip.f90: Fortran module with some basic Fortran wrapper interfaces to `gzopen`, `gzwrite`, and `gzclose` C `zlib` functions.
* test cases/fortran/10 find library/main.f90: Fortran program using the `gzip` Fortran interface module to write some data to a gzip file.
* test cases/fortran/10 find library/meson.build: Meson build file for this test case. This demonstrates the ability to link the Fortran program against an external library.
GCC does not print a warning or error for unknown options if the options
are to disable warnings. Therefore, when checking for options starting
'-Wno-', also check the opposite enabling option. This fixes the case
where e.g. -Wno-implicit-fallthrough is incorrectly reported as supported
by gcc 5.4. To avoid missed warnings when using combinations of flags, such
as in test case "112 has arg", we limit the checking of for the positive
option to where the negative option is checked alone.
This patch exploits the information residing in ltversion to set the
-compatibility_version and -current_version flags that are passed to the
linker on macOS.
GNU LD does not use soname when linking a PE/COFF binary, so it makes no
difference, but it breaks when using the llvm linker (lld), which does
not support the soname flag when building PE/COFF binaries for Windows.
Fix#3179
The linkers currently do not support ninja compatible output of
dependencies used while linking. Try to guess which files will be used
while linking in python code and generate conservative dependencies to
ensure changes in linked libraries are detected.
This generates dependencies on the best match for static and shared
linking, but this should not be a problem, except for spurious
rebuilding when only one of them changes, which should not be a problem.
Also makes sure to ignore any libraries generated inside the build, to
keep the optimisation working where changes in a shared library only
cause relink if the symbols have changed as well.
This caching is only for a single run, so it doesn't help reconfigure.
However, it is useful for subproject setups where different subprojects
will run the same compiler checks.
The cache is also per compiler instance and is not used for functions
that want to read or run the outputted object file or binary.
For gst-build, this halves the number of compiler checks that are run
and reduces configuration time by 20%.
Fixes "warning: --output and -o have no effect when -C or --ccode is set"
get_always_args() adds -C which is already disabling the direct compilation
ability of valac for which -o is used.
Copy the algorithm used by autoconf.
It computes the upper and lower limits by starting at [-1,1] and
multiply by 2 at each iteration. This is even faster for small numbers
(the common case), for example it finds value 0 in just 2 compilations
where old algorithm would check for 1024, 512, ..., 0.
Recent versions of systemd (starting with v238) started to check for the
existence of the statx structure using the cc.sizeof() operation. The cc
compiler implementation fails to detect this structure because it's size
limit is 128, meaning it will fail for any type larger than 128 bytes in
the following way during cross-compilation checks:
meson.build:10:2: ERROR: Cross-compile check overflowed
Increase the size limit for data types to 1024 bytes, which should give
plenty of room for even large data structures. This is obviously not
guaranteed to be an upper bound, but given the binary search algorithm
implemented in the cross-compile check, raising the limit too high may
significantly increase the time required for this check on smaller data
types.
