This allows representing functions like assert(), which take optional
positional arguments, which are not variadic. More importnatly you can
represent a function like (* means optional, but possitional):
```txt
func(str, *int, *str)
```
typed_pos_args will check that all of your types are correct, and if not
provide None, which allow simplifying a number of implementation details
We don't do a very good job of type checking in the interpreter,
sometimes we leave it to the mid layers of backends to do that (layering
violations) and sometimes we just don't check them at all. When we do
check them it's a ton of boilerplate and complicates the code. This
should help quite a bit.
The order of keys in dictionaries cannot be relied upon, because the hash
values are randomized by Python. Whenever we iterate on dictionaries and
meson.build generates a list during the iteration, the different iteration
orders may cause random changes in the command line and cause ninja to
rebuild a lot of files unnecessarily.
when that statement gets evaluated, the interpreter remembers the
version target and if it was part of the evaluation of a `if` condition
then the target meson version is temporally overriden within that
if-block.
Fixes: #7590
Currently deprecation features use the same logic as new features, but
that doesn't work correctly. FeatureNew wants to warn about cases where
you claim to support >= 0.40, but use a feature from 0.42; deprecation
wants to warn when you claim to support >= 0.50, but use a feature that
was replaced in 0.45.
To make this work we need to invert the version check in the deprecation
function, so that if the deprecation is 0.45, and the supported version
is >= 0.50, we get a true not a false.
Currently The Deprecated and New features checkers share an attribute
through a base class that should be per class. We need to duplicate this
and move it into each of the sublcasses
Fixes#7080
getattr() requires a default (return if missing) value or it raises an
AttributeError. In a few cases I changed hasattr to getattr and didn't
set a default value, so those cases could except. This corrects that.
This commit annotates most of interpreterbase.py. However,
there are stil the @wraps missing, since I am unsure what
the types are supposed to be here.
This also fixes that the keys in ArgumentNode.kwargs are
all of the type BaseNode now. Before this commit, it was
possible that both strings and Nodes where used as keys.
Warnings have a location node object (with subdir and lineno
attributes), which is passed as a location: kwarg to mlog.warning() and
formatted in _log_error().
Re-purpose the subdir attribute (path relative to the source root dir,
with an implied filename of 'meson.build'), which is stored into the
node by parser(), to contain a pathname.
(Properly I should rename 'subdir' -> 'file' everywhere, but that's a
lot of churn just to see if this works)
Notes:
The warning location node may also have a colno attribute, which is
currently ignored by _log_error().
We can't currently issue warnings with locations in meson_options.txt
because the filename isn't part of the location (as it's assumed to be
'meson.build).
A MesonException has file, lineno and colno attributes, which get
formatted as a location in mlog.exception().
The file attribute got changed from a path relative to the root source
directory to a pathname (absolute or relative to cwd) in one place in
commit b8fbbf59. Adjust all the other places the file attribute is set
to match.
Also:
Setting MesonException.file seems to be missing in the case where Parser
returned a non-CodeBlockNode object. Fortunately, that looks like it's
unreachable, but add it just in case.
