name: include_directories
returns: inc
description: |
Returns an opaque object which contains the directories (relative to
the current directory) given in the positional arguments. The result
can then be passed to the `include_directories:` keyword argument when
building executables or libraries. You can use the returned object in
any subdirectory you want, Meson will make the paths work
automatically.
Note that this function call itself does not add the directories into
the search path, since there is no global search path. For something
like that, see [`add_project_arguments()`](#add_project_arguments).
See also `implicit_include_directories` parameter of
[[executable]], which adds current source and build
directories to include path.
Each directory given is converted to two include paths: one that is
relative to the source root and one relative to the build root.
example: |
For example, with the following source tree layout in
`/home/user/project.git`:
`meson.build`:
```meson
project(...)
subdir('include')
subdir('src')
...
```
`include/meson.build`:
```meson
inc = include_directories('.')
...
```
`src/meson.build`:
```meson
sources = [...]
executable('some-tool', sources,
include_directories : inc,
...)
...
```
If the build tree is `/tmp/build-tree`, the following include paths
will be added to the `executable()` call: `-I/tmp/build-tree/include
-I/home/user/project.git/include`.
varargs:
name: includes
type: str
description: Include paths to add.
kwargs:
is_system:
type: bool
default: false
description: |
If set to `true`, flags the specified directories as system directories.
This means that
they will be used with the `-isystem` compiler argument rather than
`-I` on compilers that support this flag (in practice everything
except Visual Studio).
