rsplit(..., 1) always produces exactly one split, by design, there's no
need to then join a 1-element list via a generator comprehension after
extracting the end of it via pop. If this commit message sounds
confusing, then so was I when trying to figure out what this actually
did and if it needed extracting to PythonExternalModule.
Currently, we write each file to the command line, but this can result in
situations where the number of files passed exceeds OS imposed command
line limits. For compilers, we solve this with response files. For
depscan I've chosen to use a JSON list instead. JSON has several
advantages in that it's standardized, there's a built-in python module
for it, and it's familiar. I've also chosen to always use the JSON file
instead of having a heuristic to decide between JSON and not JSON,
while there may be a small performance trade off here, keeping the
implementation simple with only one path is wort it.
Fixes#9129
There are two changes here, one is to remove an `elif` that is
effectively an `else`, that helps the type checker and provides a small
speedup potentially. The second is a potentially unbound variable, that
currently isn't hit, but very much could be.
This assert causes several type checkers (both mypy and pyright) to
force `obj` to be a base `HoldableObject` instead of the specialized
object. Since the check itself may still be valuable as we don't have
fully type annotation coverage it's simply been removed when type
checking to aid in type specialization.
The problem is what happens in this case:
```meson
add_project_arguments('-DHOST', language : 'c', native : false)
add_project_arguments('-DBUILD', langauge : 'c', native : true)
```
The original meson behavior was that in an host == build configuration
only the `native : false` would be applied. This doesn't really make
sense as in that case the build machine is the host machine, so it is
both the native and non-native machine at once. We changed this so that
the both would be applied in a host == build configuration, but this is
a behavioral change, and needs to be reverted.
Fixes: #9037
Don't just create a .PHONY target which runs a script that magically
generates files ninja doesn't know about. It results in untracked files,
and `meson install` has to run additional commands instead of copying
over files, and then cannot track them to uninstall them later.
I'm not even really sure why it was originally done via a proxy script,
most likely bad legacy design. This is after all one of the oldest
modules...
One side effect of this is that meson doesn't know how to rename
build.CustomTarget files on install (only data files are supported?),
and every file needs to be installed as "domainname.mo" so it must be
named that in-tree too. To prevent clashes, every locale gets its own
locale-specific subdirectory.
Once we are doing that anyway, we can output them to the actual
structure required by the gettext family of functions, and
bindtextdomain() can therefore point to this location if desired. This
might be useful for running localized programs from the build tree.
When sending them to the introspection scanner, we must always filter
all compiler and linker flags, because g-ir-scanner does not accept any
random argument but only a specific subset.
Fixes: #8876
In the case main->subp->subsubp, if subsubp succeed to configure but
subp subsequentially fails, subsubp is still being built but its summary
was missing.
