the check for which files can be compiled are called again and again on
the same files over and over again. Caching this here shaves off 11s of
the build time of efl (which has grown in the last 3 versions to over 40
sec. again)
in order to deduplicate arguments as much as possible, we need to check
if a argument is already part of the list. Which is quite slow because
we are checking 3 lists for that.
In smaller projects this might be not of interested. However, in efl
things are quite "heavy", alone generating the ninja file took 40 sec..
16 sec. are spent in __iadd__ of CompilerArgs.
What this patch does to speed this all up is:
1. We only check if a element is in post when we know that it must be in
post same for pre.
2. the checks for if we already do contain a specific value are now done
via a dict, and not via the list.
This overall brings the time from 16 sec. spent in __iadd__ to 9 sec. in
__iadd__.
Another possible solution for all this is to have a internal structure
of CompileArgs of trees, so you have the "basic" layer of arguments
where the position does not matter. Additionally, you have two stacks of
lists, the pre stack and the post stack, duplicates can then be checked
when itereting, which would safe another ~4s in terms of efl. However, i
do not have time for this undertaking right now.
This is more correct, and forces the target(s) to be rebuilt if the
PDB files are missing. Increases the minimum required Ninja to 1.7,
which is available in Ubuntu 16.04 under backports.
We can't do the same for import libraries, because it is impossible
for us to know at configure time whether or not an import library will
be generated for a given DLL.
Instead of checking the compiler id inside the VisualStudioLikeCompiler
class, this creates two subclasses that each represent the divergent
behavior of the two compilers
* environment: Fix passing always args to a number of less common linkers
These are mostly (oops xilink) proprietary linkers I can't use for
various reasons.
Fixes: #6332
* Add intelfix from scivision.
* Ifort fix from scivision.
* PGI fix from scivision.
* Cuda fix from scivision.
* Fix linker passing for armclang.
this can be useful for if/elif where linker behaviors must be
considered.
For example, clang with "link" vs gcc with "ld.bfd" etc.

intel compiler's defaults are different enough from MSVC and GNU
that it's necessary to set specific defaults for Intel compilers.
This corrects/improves behaviors initially addressed in b1c8f765fa
If a user passes -fuse-ld=gold to gcc or clang, they expect that they'll
get ld.gold, not whatever the default is. Meson currently doesn't do
that, because it doesn't pass these arguments to the linker detection
logic. This patch fixes that. Another case that this is needed is with
clang's --target option
This is a bad solution, honestly, and it would be better to use $LD or a
cross/native file but this is needed for backwards compatability.
Fixes#6057
Currently this is done at the instance level, but we need it at the
class level to allow compiler "lang" args to be gotten early enough.
This patch also removes a couple of instance of branch/leaf classes
providing their own implementation that is identical to the Compiler
version.
There are two awful things about CompilerArgs, one is that it directly
inherits from list, and there are a lot of subtle gotcahs with
inheriting from builtin types. The second is that the class allows
arguments to be passed in whatever order. That's bad. This also fully
annotates the CompilerArgs class, so mypy can type check it for us.
`from foo import` should be used sparingly because of namespace
pollution, especially since those names will be exported
unconditionally. For typing this is extra annoying because anytime
someone wants to use another symbol from the typing module they have to
add it to the import line. Use `import typing` to avoid all of this.
Some slight refactoring for the dependency classes and
I switched the elbrus compiler to the GnuLikeCompiler.
This is also the correct use according to the documentation
of GnuLikeCompiler.
This puts appropriate default options across buildtype for Intel and
Intel-Cl compilers, for C, C++ and Fortran. Prior to this PR, the
behavior of Intel compilers vs. GNUlike was not the same, in
particular, debug traceback available by default for GNUlike compilers
was not present with Intel compilers.
Since version 9.1, GCC provides support for the D programming language. Thus it
is easy to build a cross-compiler for D, such as aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu-gdc.
However to cross-compile a Meson project using D, using a cross build definition
such as the following is not enough:
```
[binaries]
d = '/path/to/aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu-gdc'
exe_wrapper = '/path/to/qemu-aarch64-static'
[properties]
needs_exe_wrapper = true
[host_machine]
system = 'linux'
cpu_family = 'aarch64'
cpu = 'cortex-a53'
endian = 'little'
```
Indeed, "exe_wrapper" is not be taken into account. Build will fail with:
```
Executables created by D compiler /path/to/aarch64-uknown-linux-gnu-gdc are not runnable.
```
This patch fixes this by reworking:
- detect_d_compiler() to properly get exe_wrapper and D compilers and detect the
one available.
- Dcompiler to properly handle exe_wrapper.
It would be very challenging if not futile to make has_function work for Fortran.
The meson.get_compiler('fortran').links() works very well instead.
As a reference, CMake's check_fortran_function_exists is completely broken in general.
This change raises a useful MesonException instead of giving bizarre errors.
