As seen in the testcase, passing objects to custom_target does not work
if headers are passed extract_objects(), or if extract_all_objects() is used
and the sources include any header files. To fix this, use the code that
already exists for unity build to filter out the nonexistent ".h.o" files.
This already gives for free the handling of genlist, which was mentioned
in a TODO comment.
QEMU would like to use the result of extract_objects in a custom_target;
examples are using objcopy, or using the object files as the key to look
up command line arguments in compile_commands.json. This is slightly
peculiar and not covered by the test suite, but it works; in order to avoid
regressions, add a test case and document it.
As a side-effect from #8885 `find_program()` returns now `Executable`
objects when `meson.override_find_program` is called with an
executable target. To resolve this conflict the missing methods
from `ExternalProgram` are added to `BuildTarget`.
This reverts commit 72365e6856.
This is a vanity project that no longer exists.
See discussion at #8890, which still requires further thought but we can
at least start off by removing something clearly invalid.
Tests that we find something sensible for intl, capable of producing
binaries using gettext() to translate stuff.
No more need to manually check headers and *maybe* include the intl
library, which we were doing before; the new dependency actually
simplifies the existing test, and should simplify users' build files
too...
Checking how to aquire the *gettext family of symbols portably is
annoyingly complex, and may come from the libc, or standalone.
builtin dependency:
This detects if libintl is unneeded, because the *gettext family of
symbols is available in the libc.
system dependency:
This detects if libintl is installed as separate software, linkable via
-lintl; unfortunately, GNU gettext does not ship pkg-config files for
it.
Fixes#3929
Since we pass a method: 'foo' to every one of these
config-tool/pkg-config dependencies, we do not ever need to check which
type_name it has; change these to asserts instead.
In the process, we discover a bug! We kept checking for type
'configtool' instead of 'config-tool', so these tests all
short-circuited and checked nothing. Once moved to an assert, the
asserts failed.
Add a new lookup for a known system dependency and make it assert that
too.
mesonbuild.dependencies.__init__ exposes configtool, pkgconfig, cmake
and more in __init__.py, so there's no reason we should be tying
SystemDependency to the internal organization implementation of the
subpackage!
In the 2nd previous commit it took quite some effort to figure out that
the python module "does not exist" because of import errors while
refactoring something completely different.
For dependencies that on some systems are built into libc etc. and don't
need to be separately linked. This is distinct from "system"
dependencies which add linker args.
The dependency lookup is a lot of complex code. This refactor it all
into a single file/class outside of interpreter main class. This new
design allows adding more fallbacks candidates in the future (e.g. using
cc.find_library()) but does not yet add any extra API.
When no message is provided to assert(), it uses the ast printer to show
the condition that failed. In this case the 'not' is the first string
appended to the result, self.result[-1] would raise range error.
