When passing static libraries to gtkdoc, they are also appended as
shared libraries to ldflags, which makes the process to fail.
This has been changed to only append shared libraries to ldflags.
Fixes#3935
Otherwise if we for some reason get '/usr/lib/../lib' in there
we end up saying it is not a system path.
And for some reason here I got:
```
$ pkg-config --libs libffi 148 ST 117 hotdoc
-L/usr/lib/../lib -lffi
```
Having a period at the end of sentences in messages is confusing when
a file or path is being outputted, and is inconsistent when not.
This is part of an ongoing effort to fix this inconsistency across the
message outputs everywhere in Meson.
Using the -pthread argument is not needed with clang when compiling for
darwin, and it results in the warning:
warning: argument unused during compilation: '-pthread'
GNU binutils ld silently ignores -rpath flags when targeting windows
(and it is already commented within ninjabackend.py that rpath as
concept doesn't exist on windows), and build_rpath_args in
VisualStudioCCompiler also returns an empty array. Therefore skip
this flag altogether.
This fixes linking with lld in MinGW mode, which doesn't support the
rpath flag.
This is a regression in Meson 0.48.0, commit 674ae46, Meson used to
exit(0) when running setup command in a builddir already configured.
Changing to exit(1) breaks some build tools that does "meson builddir
&& ninja -C builddir".
Closes#4247.
--as-needed controls ELF-specific functionality (the emission of DT_NEEDED
tags)
--no-undefined is effectively always on for PE/COFF, as the linkage model
always requires symbols to be defined
binutils ld silently ignores these flags for PE targets, but lld warns that
it's ignoring them, so just don't bother emitting them for PE targets.
It appears that debian has changed their naming scheme. This might
require revisiting in the future to add llvm-config-7.0 if debian
decides to do that.
gtk-doc for autotools has the concept of module version, that is used to define
the module install path and the devhelp2 basename.
Add a `module_version` parameter to gnome.gtkdoc to replicate the same behavior.
Updated the test checking that the install_dir is properly computed (if not
passed), and that the .devhelp2 file has proper name.

Thanks to PR #3483, set_variable can be used to assign array values.
However, the fact that it cannot be used for arrays before 0.46.1 needs
a mention in the documentation, since otherwise users can get unexpected
dependencies on later meson versions.
The use of ABC classes (like MutableSet) is deprecated currently, in
python 3.8 the aliases in collections will be dropped and only the ones
in collections.abc will remain. collections.abc has existed since python
3.3, so there is no backwards compatibility risk.
