*New in 0.54.0* the `system` method.
## DIA SDK
*(added 1.6.0)*
Microsoft's Debug Interface Access SDK (DIA SDK) is available only on Windows,
when using msvc, clang-cl or clang compiler from Microsoft Visual Studio.
The DIA SDK runtime is not statically linked to target. The default usage
method requires the runtime DLL (msdiaXXX.dll) to be manually registered in the
OS with `regsrv32.exe` command, so it can be loaded using `CoCreateInstance`
Windows function.
Alternatively, you can use meson to copy the DIA runtime DLL to your build
directory, and load it dynamically using `NoRegCoCreate` function provided by
the DIA SDK. To facilitate this, you can read DLL path from dependency's
variable 'dll' and use fs module to copy it. Example:
```meson
dia = dependency('diasdk', required: true)
fs = import('fs')
fs.copyfile(dia.get_variable('dll'))
conf = configuration_data()
conf.set('msdia_dll_name', fs.name(dia_dll_name))
```
Only the major version is available (eg. version is `14` for msdia140.dll).
