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.

inwork compiles OK but needs smod filenames
This patch creates an enum for selecting libtype as static, shared,
prefer-static, or prefer-shared. This also renames 'static-shared'
with 'prefer_static' and 'shared-static' with 'prefer_shared'. This is
just a refactor with no behavioral changes or user facing changes.
Currently we specialcase OpenMP like we do threads, with a special
`need_openmp` method. This seems like a great idea, but doesn't work
out in practice, as well as it complicates the opemp
implementation. If GCC is built without opemp support for example, we
still add -fopenmp to the the command line, which results in
compilation errors.
This patch discards that and treats it like a normal dependency,
removes the need_openmp() method, and sets the compile_args attributes
from the compiler.
Fixes#5115
This does two things:
* On windows GCC-like compilers, the subsystem is always explicitly
specified (either -mwindows or -mconsole). MSVC is already explicit.
* The gui_app linker flags are now added after those mandated by
external dependencies. This is because some misguided libraries (such
as SDL) think that hijacking `main()` and forcing `-mwindows` in link
flags is clever. We must unconditionally override such misuses to let
gui_app work as intended.
In addition to MSVC, which was worked around previously, GCC also does
not list includes from the PCH in the depfile by default, unless
-fpch-deps is given. I think it's best to stay safe and not rely on any
particular behavior from the compiler here.
Pre/PostBuildEvents do not run if no other build steps are out-of-date.
For most run targets (including install and test) that have no other
build steps, VS considers these to be always up-to-date after they have
been built once.
On the other hand, CustomBuild has clearly defined inputs and outputs
that define whether the target is up-to-date or not. By using a
nonexistent file as output of CustomBuild, it is always considered
out-of-date.
This aligns the VS behavior with ninja. `ninja install` unconditionally
installs, `ninja test` always runs the tests, and a run target always
gets executed, without any checks whether it is up-to-date or not.
Previously, this was only added to C/C++ targets, but not for others.
Thus, if you'd change a setting through `meson configure`, this was not
picked up, e.g. the install target said it was up-to-date and when force
rebuilding it, it also did not use the new settings until the build dir
was manually reconfigured.
Instead use coredata.compiler_options.<machine>. This brings the cross
and native code paths closer together, since both now use that.
Command line options are interpreted just as before, for backwards
compatibility. This does introduce some funny conditionals. In the
future, I'd like to change the interpretation of command line options so
- The logic is cross-agnostic, i.e. there are no conditions affected by
`is_cross_build()`.
- Compiler args for both the build and host machines can always be
controlled by the command line.
- Compiler args for both machines can always be controlled separately.
macOS provides the tool `lipo` to check the archs supported by an
object (executable, static library, dylib, etc). This is especially
useful for fat archives, but it also helps with thin archives.
Without this, the linker will fail to link to the library we mistakenly
'found' like so:
ld: warning: ignoring file /path/to/libfoo.a, missing required architecture armv7 in file /path/to/libfoo.a
