It is unmaintained, broken (frequently for long periods of time) and not
really required for any meson functionality. Its purpose is to be used
as a one-shot tool for creating a distro package recipe, and then
deleted from your meson.build files.
Due to its fragile dependency on coredata implementation details, we
cannot assume it will reliably work, or continue to work, without
someone who is actively willing to take responsibility for it.
Even if that were to happen, this might be better off as an external
script that parses introspection data.

This is another toolchain also called `armclang`, but it is not a cross
compiler like Keil's `armclang`. It is essentially the same as `clang`
based on its interface and CMake's support of the toolchain.
Use an `armltd` prefix for the compiler ID.
Fixes: #7255
This is basically a rewrite of the gnome.yelp target to remove the
ad-hoc script, which generates multiple issues, including meson
not knowing which files were installed.

For a long time now, this has done 3 different things, only one of which
is mypy. But they are labeled:
- LintMypy / lint
(runs pylint)
- LintMypy / custom_lint
(runs a custom script)
- LintMypy / mypy
(actually runs mypy)
This reduces the usable length of the label which isn't all that long to
begin with, is actively misleading, and even when you know what is going
on, it becomes harder to tell at a glance what failed. Change it to be
more unambiguous.
In commit e5a6283c4c, this function was
reorganized to assign value -> newvalue instead of overwriting newvalue,
but the error message case wasn't updated to match. As a result,
actually hitting the error would report an even more errory error, i.e.
a traceback.
(Actually hitting the error requires passing an array option as a python
object that isn't a list or a string. This is impossible to do from the
command line or meson_options.txt, but can be done with builtin options.)
They claimed that all of these functions accepted any posargs or varargs
that install scripts supported. This was inconsistent with both the
types that meson currently allowed, and the types that we documented in
refman 1.0 *should* be allowed.
Take the opportuninty to be clear as refman 1.0 never was, about the
difference between types supported in the first posarg, and the ypes
supported in succeeding varargs.
In commit c239ce31f5 support was added to
these functions to accept various non-string types.
Despite the commit/PR documenting that only add_install_script is
permitted to accept built files, the actual check parameter was set, for
all three, to "True" (so the function was never invoked with False at
all). This meant that actually attempting to use the allowed types would
fail at postconf or dist, with python tracebacks in the former case and
"Failed to run dist script" in the latter case.
This was partially ameliorated in commit
6c5bfd4c24 which added typed_pos_args, but
unfortunately those typed_pos_args were all over the place.
For postconf:
- They banned external programs as additional args (which should be allowed)
- They banned built executables (good)
- They allowed custom targets as additional args (bad)
For dist:
- they allowed external programs (good)
- they allowed built executables, but only as the first argument (bad, also ???)
- they allowed custom targets, but only as additional arguments (bad, also ???)
Fix this all to only allow the same argument types for both the script
argument and the script-args arguments. That type is known at configure
time and restricted to source files, configured files, and found
programs.
In commit 2c0eaf5c4f support was added for
install scripts to accept found programs, built executables, or custom targets.
In commit c239ce31f5, this was extended to
dist and postconf scripts too (although it was documented that those
should not accept targets that are built by ninja).
Despite the commit/PR claiming that all of these should always accept
files and configured files, this was only true for arguments other than
the first, until commit f808c955ea.
In amongst all this, FeatureNew checks were never registered for the
first argument, only for additional arguments, until late in the game
with the addition of FeatureNew checks for File objects.
Fix this in part by moving the 3 different File checks into one, inside the
function that processes the first script, and make that function check
for FeatureNew on anything else too.
multiple versions of python are packaged by cygwin, and the default
python is auto-selected as the latest one via a Debian-like alternatives
system.
This recently broke because dblatex is built against 3.9, causing it to
be installed too and resulting in multiple (inconsistent) versions of
python being installed, and `python3` pointing to the one we don't have
devel packages for and isn't even the default version.
Fix this by pointing back to the intended python.
Removed errant "type: ignore".
Fixed issue with "fetch" call. This issue was the following:
Dict::get() and Dict::pop() have the following signature:
T.Callable[[_T, _U], _U | None] OR T.Callable[[_T], _U | None]
Note how the return type is _U here. When the fetch() function was
actually being called, it had the following signature:
T.Callable[[_T, T.List[_U]], T.Union[T.List[_U], _U]]
This is incompatible with the previous definitions. The solution is
simply to move where the default value is introduced if fetch() produces
None.
pkgconf has a bug on MSYS2 due to which prefixes with spaces are not
handled correctly if the library has a Requires: on another library
and both have prefixes with spaces in them.
See: https://github.com/pkgconf/pkgconf/issues/238
So move the unit test to libanswer.pc instead of libfoo.pc till that
is fixed.
Since we scan all dependencies for build-only RPATHs now (which are
removed on install), we must take care not to add build-only RPATHs
pointing to directories that dependencies explicitly add -Wl,-rpath
link args for, otherwise the paths will get wiped on install.
Caught by LinuxlikeTests::test_usage_pkgconfig_prefixes
If a pkg-config dependency has multiple libraries in it, which is the
most common case when it has a Requires: directive, or when it has
multiple -l args in Libs: (rare), then we don't add -Wl,-rpath
directives to it when linking.
The existing test wasn't catching it because it was linking to
a pkgconfig file with a single library in it. Update the test to
demonstrate this.
This function was originally added for shared libraries in the source
directory, which explains the name:
https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/2397
However, since now it is also used for linking to *all* non-system
shared libraries that we link to with absolute paths:
https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/3092
But that PR is incomplete / wrong, because only adding RPATHs for
dependencies that specify a single library, which is simply
inconsistent. Things will work for some dependencies and not work for
others, with no logical reason for it.
We should add RPATHs for *all* libraries. There are no special length
limits for RPATHs that I can find.
For ELF, DT_RPATH or DT_RUNPATH are used, which are just stored in
a string table (DT_STRTAB). The maximum length is only a problem when
editing pre-existing tags.
For Mach-O, each RPATH is stored in a separate LC_RPATH entry so there
are no length issues there either.

When generating pkgconfig file for a library that links to an
uninstalled static library built by custom_target() Meson was crashing
when trying to access some attributes that does not exist on that class.
Also fix is_internal() implementation, it only really make sense on a
CustomTargetIndex or if CustomTarget has only a single output.
