So that we can actually use it anyplace that an OptionDictType could be
used. I've also done a bit optimizing/simplifying of the implementation.
This is needed for cuda, as it returns an OptionOverrideProxy where we
ask for an OptionDicType
So that every subclass doesn't have to reimplement it. Especially since
the Gnu implementation moved out of the CCompiler and into the
GnuLikeCompiler mixin
with msys ncurses-config returns a unix style path (currently, though
it's been fixed upstream), which the compilers don't understand, so we
can't do that. Additionally, while the system search does work, there's
missing include directories that need to be added.
On win32 there is pdcurses, so we detect it first, because python
depends on ncursesw, so if we don't want to use ncursesw, we should make
sure pdcurses detect before ncursesw
has_header returns a tuple of (found: bool, cached: bool), so `if
has_header` will always return true because the tuple is non-empty. We
need to check if the found value is true or not.
- Fixed using debug and optimization built-in options in MSVC.
- Fixed that VS backend does not create pdb files in release mode.
VS implicitly adds the debug fields if left out.
- Fix that it is possible to add debug info with ninja backend with
optimizations.
When building with vs2019 (not ninja), a path length error will be thrown
if the path to a resource file is even remotely deep within the tree.
This is largely because the target name includes the string "Windows
resource for file 'full path'", which is then expanded twice (once for
the .vcxproj itself, and once for IntDir) and added to the full path.
When combined with the tiny path limits on Windows, it is easy to exceed
path limits.
This error is largely avoided by the ninja back-end. Unlike the
vs back-end, the ninja back-end does not use target.get_id() as part of
the project file path, nor does it use target.get_id() as part of
get_target_private_dir().
