Emscripten does have a stand alone linker, wasm-ld. This patch adds the
linker, adds detection for the linker, and removes the IsLinkerMixin for
emscripten. This is a little more correct, and makes the code a lot
cleaner and more robust.
Emscripten has pthread support (as well as C++ threads), but we don't
currently implement them. This fixes that by adding the necessary code.
The one thing I'm not sure about is setting the pool size. The docs
suggest that you really want to do this to ensure that your code works
correctly, but the number should really be configurable, not sure how to
set that.
Fixes#6684
This adds a warnings counter for subprojects that passed. This is to
encourage developpers to check warnings in the logs and hopefully fix
them. Otherwise they could be hidden in hundreds lines of logs.
This also print the error message for subprojects that did not pass. The
error message is often enough to fix the issue (e.g. missing
dependency) and it's easier than searching in the logs why a subproject
failed.
This is more correct, and forces the target(s) to be rebuilt if the
PDB files are missing. Increases the minimum required Ninja to 1.7,
which is available in Ubuntu 16.04 under backports.
We can't do the same for import libraries, because it is impossible
for us to know at configure time whether or not an import library will
be generated for a given DLL.
This makes two basic changes, 1 it moves the name of the linker into the
linker class, this should reduce the number of errors and typos, and
ensure that a linker always has one name. This then renames the linkers
to have more consistent names.
Posix/gnu linkers are called ld.<name>: ld.gold, ld.lld, ld.solaris.
Apple linkers are renamed ld64.
These are pretty much all over the place because I never intended them
to be exposed to the meson source language, they were meant just for
documentation.
This allows users to disable writing out the inbuilt variables to
the pkg-config file as they might actualy not be required.
One reason to have this is for architecture-independent pkg-config
files in projects which also have architecture-dependent outputs.

This is a significant speed-up on Windows because terminals are
slow to print things out.
Speed-up in gst-build on Windows:
```
meson install:
before: 5.1 seconds
after: 4.0 seconds
```
This improves the common case of a simple meson.build which doesn't
contain any 'native: true' targets to not require a native compiler when
cross-compiling, without needing any changes in the meson.build.
v2:
Do it the right way around!
Currently it's just like if all builtin/base/compiler options are
yielding. This patch makes possible to have non-yielding builtin
options. The value in is overriden in this order:
- Value from parent project
- Value from subproject's default_options if set
- Value from subproject() default_options if set
- Value from command line if set
The documentation of "order-only" dependencies is limited and their
various purposes are especially not clear. See issue #6391 for a recent
example, search the internet for many more. So mention the particular
purpose here while making the documentation barely longer.
This allows Meson native-file [properties] to be used.
This avoids the need to call meson from a script file or have a
long command line invocation of `meson setup`
The method meson.get_native_property('prop', 'fallback') is added.
The native file can contain properties like
```
[properties]
myprop1 = 'foo'
mydir2 = 'lib/custom'
```
Then from within `meson.build`
```meson
x1 = meson.get_native_property('myprop1')
thedir = meson.get_native_property('mydir2', 'libs')
```
fallback values are optional
