And use generic build/clean/test/install commands in the unit tests,
just like project tests. This sets the groundwork for running the unit
tests with all backends.
configure a detection method, for those types of dependencies that have
more than one means of detection.
The default detection methods are unchanged if 'method' is not
specified, and all dependencies support the method 'auto', which is the
same as not specifying a method.
The dependencies which do support multiple detection methods
additionally support other values, depending on the dependency.
Now as long as you have a C compiler available in the project, it will
be used to compile assembly even if the target contains a C++ compiler
and even if the target contains only assembly and C++ sources.
Earlier, the order in which sources appeared in a target would decide
which compiler would be used.
However, if the project only provides a C++ compiler, that will be
used for compiling assembly sources.
If this breaks your use-case, please tell us.
Includes a test that ensures that all of the above is adhered to.
Special wrap modes:
nofallback: Don't download wraps for dependency() fallbacks
nodownload: Don't download wraps for all subproject() calls
Subprojects are used for two purposes:
1. To download and build dependencies by using .wrap files if they
are not provided by the system. This is usually expressed via
dependency(..., fallback: ...).
2. To download and build 'copylibs' which are meant to be used by
copying into your project. This is always done with an explicit
subproject() call.
--wrap-mode=nofallback will never do (1)
--wrap-mode=nodownload will do neither (1) nor (2)
If you are building from a release tarball, you should be able to
safely use 'nodownload' since upstream is expected to ship all
required sources with the tarball.
If you are building from a git repository, you will want to use
'nofallback' so that any 'copylib' wraps will be download as
subprojects.
Note that these options do not affect subprojects that are git
submodules since those are only usable in git repositories, and you
almost always want to download them.
We were adding them to the CompilerArgs instance in the order in which
they are specified, which is wrong because later dependencies would
override previous ones. Add them in the reverse order instead.
Closes https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/1495
Because we are using check_output, if the command fails no output will
be printed at all. So, we use subprocess.run instead.
Also, on configure failures, print the meson-log.txt instead of stdout.
If you pass options, the last element in the array won't be the
compiler basename, so just check if the basename is in the exelist
somewhere.
Includes a test.
https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/1406 had an incomplete fix
for this. The test case caught it.
Note: this still doesn't test that setting it in the cross-info works,
but it's the same codepath as via the environment so it should be ok.

Factor it out into a function in mesonlib.py. This will allow us to
reuse it for generators and for configure_file(). The latter doesn't
implement this at all right now.
Also includes unit tests.
And actually test that prog.path() works. The earlier test was just
running the command without checking if it succeeded.
Also make everything use prog.get_command() or get_path() instead of
accessing the internal member prog.fullpath directly.
We also need to check whether the program found in PATH can be executed
directly by Windows or if we need to figure out what the interpreter is
and add it to the list.
Also add `msc` to the list of extensions that can be executed natively
Includes a project test and a unit test for this and all expected
behaviours on Windows.
On macOS, the temporary directory is inside /var/folders, but /var is
a symlink to /private/var, and for some reason that messes up path
traversal when you're inside the temporary directory and the source
directory is never found, and ninja runs in a loop trying to
regenerate files that can never be regenerated.
Otherwise if the list of sources changes on reconfigure after building,
the static library will contain both the old and new objects.
Closes https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/1355
os.path.commonpath (and our implementation of it) both always return the
path using the native operating system path separator, so we can't just
directly compare it since the prefix could be specified in '/', and
commonpath would use '\' on Windows.
Also add a unit test for this.
