These are actually just flags, they don't take any arguments (except
prefix, which was already handled correctly), and as such their
arguments should be booleans, not strings, and they should default to
False.
There is a change here, in that packages has error messaging for using
IncludeDirs objects in the packages argument, but it never worked, so
the message was useless.
There are thee arguments that are passed directly to CustomTarget which
are not in the permittedKwargs: depends, depend_files, and build_always.
The first two are obviously generically useful, as they allow creating
correct ordering. The latter, not so much. Since it was an error to pass
it, we'll just delete it.
Use a proper install option for this. Now `install_<type>` can directly
override `install` instead of passing a boolean to the string kwarg
`install_dir_<type>`.
generate_gir forces building both the typelib and gir, and some people
only want one or the other (probably only the typelib?) which means
flagging the other as install_dir: false in the same way custom_target
supports.
As this always worked, albeit undocumented, make sure it keeps working.
It's pretty reasonable to allow, anyway.
Fixes https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/9484#issuecomment-980131791
Make it possible to specify a wrapper for executing binaries
in cross-compiling scenarios.
(usually, some kind of target hardware emulator, such as qemu)
We went straight to the extra message, which when parsed as a subproject
string resulted in the Feature being entirely skipped because "project()
has not been parsed yet" as it could not find a subproject named that.
This removes the `packages` keyword argument, which was added in
80d665e8de, but beyond not warning about
unknown arguments has never done anything, and has never been
documented. The only users I could find were in our own test suite. If
someone is using this we can add it back with a deprecation warning.
Python is a whitespace significant language, changing indent level
implies that scope is changing. So when a string like
```python
def foo():
a = '''
somthing
'''
return a
```
It's visually misleading. Couple that with folding editors like vim
getting utterly confused by this, and it turns into a real pain. Using
textwrap.dedent allows us to get rid of that:
```python
def foo():
a = texwrap.dedent(
'''
something
''')
return a
```
But we still get the same result
It turns out this could be missing in GResource*Target as well, due
mostly to the same problem, side effects of mutating a shared
dictionary; though it could also happen with a specific set of keywords
given and other omitted.
Fixes#9350
The `mkenums` functions can have this unset if, and only if, the
c file only variant is called. Due to side effects if the header file is
generated then `install_dir` is ensured to be set for the c file. I have
removed this side effect so that our tests actually cover this case.
Fixes#9472
install_dir needs to be set to something, because CustomTarget expects
that. genmarshal still relies on CustomTarget setting it internally
itself.
Fixes#9350
Theere is no 'output' key in the kwargs, so if this was it it would
result in an exception. Mypy spotted this in a branch I'm working on
full typing for gnome, but since that seems unlikely to be done before
the 0.60 branchpoint I'd like to get this in sooner
Yelp currently can take sources two different ways, the first is via
variadic arguments, the second is by a keyword argument. If the keyword
is passed then the variadic arguments are silently ignored, which is
obviously not ideal. Fortunately the variadic form was never documented,
and is likely not in wide use.
This patch fixes it by deprecating the variadic form, and warning if
both are passed. It does not change behavior as someone may be relying
on it.
All changes were created by running
"pyupgrade --py3-only"
and committing the results. Although this has been performed in the
past, newer versions of pyupgrade can automatically catch more
opportunities, notably list comprehensions can use generators instead,
in the following cases:
- unpacking into function arguments as function(*generator)
- unpacking into assignments of the form x, y = generator
- as the argument to some builtin functions such as min/max/sorted
Also catch a few creeping cases of new code added using older styles.
