These are actually just flags, they don't take any arguments (except
prefix, which was already handled correctly), and as such their
arguments should be booleans, not strings, and they should default to
False.
Currently there is a try/except around the function that detects and
rejects this, which instead of rejecting it, spawns a warning and
continue.
This warning exists because of 'test cases/vala/9 gir/' which passes a
vala generated output that isn't a return value (!!!) using string
joining with the meson.current_build_dir() function (also !!!) because
we officially document this (!!! for a third time) as the only way to
make a vala shared library generate a typelib with a custom_command from
the automatically generated gir:
https://mesonbuild.com/Vala.html#gobject-introspection-and-language-bindings
In #3061 we converted strings to Files, but only if none of them were
this vala hack. Due to the precise implementation, we also failed to
convert strings to Files if any other error occurred, but since we only
want to ignore errors for generated vala outputs, tighten that check and
specifically call out generated files in the warning.
Fixes#8635
There is a change here, in that packages has error messaging for using
IncludeDirs objects in the packages argument, but it never worked, so
the message was useless.
There are thee arguments that are passed directly to CustomTarget which
are not in the permittedKwargs: depends, depend_files, and build_always.
The first two are obviously generically useful, as they allow creating
correct ordering. The latter, not so much. Since it was an error to pass
it, we'll just delete it.
Use a proper install option for this. Now `install_<type>` can directly
override `install` instead of passing a boolean to the string kwarg
`install_dir_<type>`.
generate_gir forces building both the typelib and gir, and some people
only want one or the other (probably only the typelib?) which means
flagging the other as install_dir: false in the same way custom_target
supports.
As this always worked, albeit undocumented, make sure it keeps working.
It's pretty reasonable to allow, anyway.

Meson was passing only the first output and warning about it. To do this
easily, refactor construct_target_rel_path to return a list.

FeatureCheck always immediately sets extra_message to '' if it isn't
explicitly passed, so there is really no point in using None as a
sentinel that is never used.
Names used in init functions are sometimes pointlessly different from
the class instance attributes they are immediately assigned to. They
would make more sense if defined properly.
Originally name should have been set to required=True, but since then
the requirement to name CustomTargets (which compile_resources is a
wrapper around) has been dropped. As such we just need to allow the
default value of None through.
Fixes: #9698
Make it possible to specify a wrapper for executing binaries
in cross-compiling scenarios.
(usually, some kind of target hardware emulator, such as qemu)
They passed the arguments in the wrong order, so the version parsed as the
message and the message parsed as a version.
While we are at it, pass the location node in too.
We allow this for the command (the first parameter), but not later
parameters, which is just odd. This also allows us to give better error
messages for the case of overridden programs.
This also cleans up a couple of internal callers of the internal impl
version that don't set the `check` argument, and therefore trigger a
warning about not setting the check argument.
The interpreter tries to catch any exception and add the latest node
information to it, but currently we only used that to print better
formatted error messages on MesonException.
Since we should theoretically have that property for most/all
exceptions, let's percolate that upward, and message the user that an
unexpected traceback was encountered, that it should be reported as a
bug, and the helpful information of "how far into parsing this
meson.build did we get before erroring out, anyway?"
If the compiler check is updated as a string in meson.build, we force
rebuild, which is a good thing since the outcome of that check changes
the configuration context and can enable or disable parts of the build.
If the compiler check came from a files() object then we didn't add a
regen rule on those files.
Fixes#1656
For libraries installed to libdir, it's not expected to have rpath
hooked up. But for non-default libdirs, the path might not get searched
by default. `ldconfig -m <libdir>` is convenient here, as it will
programmatically add a new directory to search for shared libraries, so
the resulting installed programs work out of the box.
Include the dragonfly BSD platform name, which doesn't match the 'bsd'
catch-all pattern.
has_function(prefix: '...') is useless to check the difference between
builtins and external library functions. It has code to detect
"builtins" that misfires and reports that iconv_open is defined as a
builtin on mingw, but only if you include the header.
Instead compile an open-coded test file that this iconv dependency
implementation fully controls, that doesn't get up to imaginative edge
cases like trying to find `__builtin_iconv_open`.
Fixes commit db1fa702f3, which merely
moved the brokenness over one step to the right (by breaking mingw
instead of freebsd)
