* Add boost_root support to properties files
This commit implements `boost_root`, `boost_includedir`, and
`boost_librarydir` variable support to native and cross properties
files. The search order is currently environment variables, then
these variables, and finally a platform-dependent search.
* Add preliminary boost_root / boost_includedir tests
Each test contains a fake "version.hpp", as that's how boost detection is
currently being done. We look for this file relative to the root directory,
which probably shouldn't be allowed (it previously was for BOOST_LIBRARYDIR
but not for BOOST_ROOT). It also cannot help with breakage detection in
libraries, however it looks like this wasn't getting tested beforehand.
I've given the two unique version numbers that shouldn't be present in any
stock version of boost (001 and 002).
* Add return type to detect_split_root
* Return empty list when nothing found in BOOST_ROOT, rather than None
* Update boost_root tests
* Create nativefile.ini based on location of run_project_tests.py
* Add fake libraries to ensure boost_librarydir is being used
* Require all search paths for boost to be absolute
* Redo boost search ordering
To better match things like pkg-config, we now look through native/cross files,
then environment variables, then system locations for boost installations.
Path detection does not fall back from one method to the next for properties or
environment variables--if boost_root, boost_librarydir, or boost_includedir is
specified, they must be sufficient to find boost. Likewise for BOOST_ROOT and
friends. pkg-config detection is still optional falling back to system-wide
detection, for Conan.
(Also, fix a typo in test 33's nativefile)
* Correct return type for detect_roots
* Correct boost dependency search order in documentation
* Print debug information for boost library finding, to resolve CI issues
* Handle native/cross file templates in a more consistent way
All tests can now create a `nativefile.ini.in` if they need to use some
parameter that the testing framework knows about but they can't.
* Pass str--rather than PosixPath--to os.path.exists, for Python35
* Look for boost minor versions, rather than boost patch versions in test cases
* Drop fake dylib versions of boost_regex
* Prefer get_env_var to use of os.environ
* Correct error reporting for relative BOOST_ROOT paths
* Bump version this appears in. Also, change "properties file" to "machine file" as that appears to be the more common language.
This is especially useful for Conan, where only the boost.pc
file is provided and manually setting BOOST_ROOT is not a
good solution since it is in a private cache directory.
See #5438
D lang compilers have an option -release (or similar) which turns off
asserts, contracts, and other runtime type checking. This patch wires
that up to the b_ndebug flag.
Fixes#7082
This makes the typing annotations basically impossible to get right, but
if we only have one key then it's easy. Fortunately python provides
comprehensions, so we don't even need the ability to pass multiple keys,
we can just [extract_as_list(kwargs, c) for c in ('a', 'b', 'c')] and
get the same result.
This PR significantly improves the handling of the boost library
tags and also ensures that the found libraries are always compatible
(have the same ABI tag). The current setup can also be extended to
filter for additional features (static linking with the runtime, etc.).
Additionally, BOOST_ROOT is better supported (it is now guaranteed
that all found files belong to a single root directory).
Finally, boost.py is now fully annotated (and checked with mypy).
Currently PkgConfig takes language as a keyword parameter in position 3,
while the others take it as positional in position 2. Because most
dependencies don't actually set a language (they use C style linking),
using a positional argument makes more sense. ExtraFrameworkDependencies
is even more different, and duplicates some arguments from the base
ExternalDependency class.
For later changes I'm planning to make having all of the dependencies
use the same signature is really, really helpful.
In most cases instead pass `for_machine`, the name of the relevant
machines (what compilers target, what targets run on, etc). This allows
us to use the cross code path in the native case, deduplicating the
code.
As one can see, environment got bigger as more information is kept
structured there, while ninjabackend got a smaller. Overall a few amount
of lines were added, but the hope is what's added is a lot simpler than
what's removed.
Instad of having special casing of threads in the backends and
everywehre else, do what we did for openmp, create a real
dependency. Then make use of the fact that dependencies can now have
sub dependencies to add threads.
Handle clang's cl or clang-cl being in PATH, or set in CC/CXX
Future work: checking the name of the executable here seems like a bad idea.
These compilers will fail to be detected if they are renamed.
v2:
Update compiler.get_argument_type() test
Fix comparisons of id inside CCompiler, backends and elsewhere
v3:
ClangClCPPCompiler should be a subclass of ClangClCCompier, as well
Future work: mocking in test_find_library_patterns() is effected, as we
now test for a subclass, rather than self.id in CCompiler.get_library_naming()
This means that we will take into account all the flags set in the
cross file when fetching the list of library dirs, which means we
won't incorrectly look for 64-bit libraries when building for 32-bit.

Closes https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/3881
If successful, we should identify the method which was successful
If successful, we should report the version found (if known)
If failing, we should identify the methods we tried
Some dependency detectors which had no reporting now gain it
There's all kinds of complexities, inconsistencies and special cases hidden
in the existing behaviour, e.g.:
- boost reports modules requested, and BOOST_ROOT (if set)
- gtest/gmock report if they are a prebuilt library or header only
- mpi reports the language
- qt reports modules requested, and the config tool used or tried
- configtool reports the config tool used
- llvm reports if missing modules are optional (one per line)
We add some simple hooks to allow the dependency object to expose the
currently reported information into the consolidated reporting
Note that PkgConfigDependency() takes a silent: keyword which is used
internallly to suppress reporting. This behaviour isn't needed in
find_external_dependency().
Those tools use our arguments to build a file and execute it to
introspect it at runtime. However, they do not know that you can pass
the full path to the library to use, and ignore the arguments.
The long-term fix for this is to have them output a .c file that Meson
will build for them, which they can then run, but that will require
upstream changes:

Closes https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/3774
All dependencies were using find_library, has_header, get_define, etc on
self.compiler assuming that it's a compiler that outputs and consumes
C-like libraries. This is not true for D (and in the future, for Rust)
since although they can consume C libraries, they do not use the
C ecosystem.
For such purposes, we now have self.clib_compiler. Nothing uses
self.compiler anymore as a result, and it has been removed.
