## Sanity checking compilers with user flags
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Sanity checks previously only used user-specified flags for cross compilers, but
|
||
|
|
now do in all cases.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
All compilers meson might decide to use for the build are "sanity checked"
|
||
|
|
before other tests are run. This usually involves building simple executable and
|
||
|
|
trying to run it. Previously user flags (compilation and/or linking flags) were
|
||
|
|
used for sanity checking cross compilers, but not native compilers. This is
|
||
|
|
because such flags might be essential for a cross binary to succeed, but usually
|
||
|
|
aren't for a native compiler.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In recent releases, there has been an effort to minimize the special-casing of
|
||
|
|
cross or native builds so as to make building more predictable in less-tested
|
||
|
|
cases. Since this the user flags are necessary for cross, but not harmful for
|
||
|
|
native, it makes more sense to use them in all sanity checks than use them in no
|
||
|
|
sanity checks, so this is what we now do.
