* Have set() and set_quoted() of configuration object work with newlines.
set_quoted() makes the value into a double-quoted string, so let's
assume C-style string, in particular with newlines as "\n".
Also take care of remaining newlines in dump_conf_header(). C or nasm
macros expect single-line values so if the value was multi-line, we
would end up with broken syntax. Appending a backslash at each end of
line make them concat into a single line in both C and nasm format
(note: multi-line macros in nasm are actually possible apparently but
use another format not outputted by current meson code). Also note that
the replacement is done at the end only when dumping the conf as a
header because we cannot assume anything about the format when replacing
variables from an input file (in this case, it should be the dev
responsibility).
* Add unit tests for multiline set() and set_quoted().
Instead of only displaying the identifier of the linker, display also the path
to the executable in order to report useful information when cross-compiling.
Since version 9.1, GCC provides support for the D programming language. Thus it
is easy to build a cross-compiler for D, such as aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu-gdc.
However to cross-compile a Meson project using D, using a cross build definition
such as the following is not enough:
```
[binaries]
d = '/path/to/aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu-gdc'
exe_wrapper = '/path/to/qemu-aarch64-static'
[properties]
needs_exe_wrapper = true
[host_machine]
system = 'linux'
cpu_family = 'aarch64'
cpu = 'cortex-a53'
endian = 'little'
```
Indeed, "exe_wrapper" is not be taken into account. Build will fail with:
```
Executables created by D compiler /path/to/aarch64-uknown-linux-gnu-gdc are not runnable.
```
This patch fixes this by reworking:
- detect_d_compiler() to properly get exe_wrapper and D compilers and detect the
one available.
- Dcompiler to properly handle exe_wrapper.
It would be very challenging if not futile to make has_function work for Fortran.
The meson.get_compiler('fortran').links() works very well instead.
As a reference, CMake's check_fortran_function_exists is completely broken in general.
This change raises a useful MesonException instead of giving bizarre errors.
Some commands, notably gdb, use ctrl+c themselves to perform actions
without exiting. Instead of making meson exit and thus, kill the
subprocess, ignore the KeyboardInterrupt and continue waiting for
the child.
Previously if a user tried to pass a command line build
option that contained a '%' character the command line
parser assumed that there was string interpolation to be
done. As there is no sense in such a scenario no code
provides any input for the interpolation. This then leads to
a failure.
In this commit we specifically override the defaults in
ConfigParser and set interpolation to None, which disables
command line build option interpolation.
Fixes#6157
Previously, warnings genereated in CMake were not logged because
CMake sends them to stderr alongside the trace information. With
this PR, only real trace lines are send to the trace parser and
all other lines in stderr are logged as warnings.
In a large project, it can be hard to guess what meson "had in mind", when many different
warnings are added in different places. Let's make the message precise and specify the location.
WARNING: Consider using the built-in warning_level option instead of adding warning flags by hand.
↓
meson.build:414: WARNING: Consider using the built-in warning_level option instead of using "-Wextra".
This means that when either cflags or libs lookup fails, this will be
logged always in the log, leading to much easier to debug messages
like:
Called `/usr/local/bin/pkg-config --cflags gnutls` -> 1
pkg-config error with 'gnutls': Could not generate cargs for gnutls:
Package nettle was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `nettle.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'nettle', required by 'gnutls', not found
Run-time dependency gnutls found: NO (tried pkgconfig)
