The linkers currently do not support ninja compatible output of
dependencies used while linking. Try to guess which files will be used
while linking in python code and generate conservative dependencies to
ensure changes in linked libraries are detected.
This generates dependencies on the best match for static and shared
linking, but this should not be a problem, except for spurious
rebuilding when only one of them changes, which should not be a problem.
Also makes sure to ignore any libraries generated inside the build, to
keep the optimisation working where changes in a shared library only
cause relink if the symbols have changed as well.
Previously pkg-config files generated by the pkgconfig modules for static libraries
with dependencies could only be used in a dependencies with `static: true`.
This was caused by the dependencies only appearing in Libs.private even
if they are needed in the default linking mode. But a user of a
dependency should not have to know if the default linking mode is static
or dynamic; A dependency('somelib') call should always pull in all
needed pieces into the build.
Now for meson build static libraries passed via `libraries` to the generate
method automatically promote dependencies to public.
Sometimes it is needed to run the current compiler with specific options
not to compile a file but rather to obtain additional info. For example,
GCC has several -print-* options to query it about the paths to
different libraries and development files. One use case is to get the
location of development files for GCC plugins, which is not easily
obtainable by other means:
gcc -print-file-name=plugin
For this purpose, it would be convenient if the compiler object returned
by meson.get_compiler(lang) could be used in run_command() directly.
This commit implements it.

This can help future generations avoid mistakes like this:
edb1c66239
To avoid breaking builds, this is currently just an error. After
sufficient time has passed this can hopefully become a hard error,
similarly to the already-existing `permittedKwargs` warnings.
A hard error makes this feature useless in most cases since a static
library usually won't be found for every library, particularly system
libraries like -lm. Instead, warn so the user can provide the static
library if they wish.
This feature will be expanded and made more extensible and more usable
in the future.
Closes https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/2785
This already reports the location (in a slightly different format), but
using mlog.warning() will make it easier if we want to change the location
format in future.
If a dep is not found on the system and a fallback is specified, we
have two cases:
1. Look for the dependency in a pre-initialized subproject
2. Initialize the subproject and look for the dependency
Both these require version comparing, ensuring the fetched variable
is a dependency, and printing a success message, erroring out, etc.
Now we share the relevant code instead of duplicating it. It already
diverged, so this is a good thing.
As a side-effect, we now log fallback dependencies in the same format
as system dependencies:
Dependency libva found: YES
Dependency libva found: YES (cached)
Dependency glib-2.0 from subproject subprojects/glib found: YES
Dependency glib-2.0 from subproject subprojects/glib found: YES (cached)
I have a tendency to typo things. Humans in general are bad at spotting
spelling mistakes, computers are not. This patches prints the bad
options and provides the generic meson "This will be a hard error
someday" message.
MSVC cannot handle MinGW-esque /c/foo paths, convert them to C:/foo.
We cannot resolve other paths starting with / like /home/foo so leave
them as-is so the user gets an error/warning from the compiler/linker.
These paths are commonly found in pkg-config files generated using
Autotools inside MinGW/MSYS and MinGW/MSYS2 environments.
Currently this is only done for PkgConfigDependency.
This exposes the already existing UserStringArrayOption class through
the meson_options.txt. The intention is to provide a way for projects to
take list/array type arguments and validate that all of the elements in
that array are valid without using complex looping constructrs.
Escaping spaces with '\ ' is the only way that works with both
pkg-config and pkgconf, so quote that way and unquote inside Meson.
This should work on all platforms.
Also fix the unit test to do the same.
https://github.com/pkgconf/pkgconf/issues/153
https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/1406 had an incomplete fix
for this. The test case caught it.
Note: this still doesn't test that setting it in the cross-info works,
but it's the same codepath as via the environment so it should be ok.
