When finding a py.dependency() we try to use pkg-config. We then apply
our own custom base class, which replaces self.name with the informative
comment "override the name from the "real" dependency lookup", to which
I can only say "uhhh why". Why do we want to do that???
It turns out we don't, it was just a really old legacy design because we
had a SystemDependency with a .pkgdep attribute hiding the real
dependency bizarro-land style. We cleaned that up in commit
4d67dd19e5 and as part of that, we
*shifted over* the self.name assignment to preserve the visible effects,
sort of. We didn't have a *reason* to override the name, we just did it
because... we weren't sure whether it mattered.
Unfortunately it very much does matter the other way -- we don't want
it. We can pass this dependency to the pkgconfig module, which uses the
name attribute to fill out the `Requires: ` field. Also, the name should
name what we have. :p
Get rid of this bizarre historic quirk. Since we have proper
dependencies here, we should go all in.

It is only used by Environment.get_exe_wrapper() and every callers were
handling None already. Type annotation was wrong, it already could
return None for the case an exe wrapper is needed but none is provided.
Now that top builddir is not the default workdir any more, the .gdbinit
file we write there won't be loaded automatically unless user cd there,
or use --init-command. There is also a global setting that user has to
set to allow automatically loading .gdbinit file.
Most of the time it is preferable to remain the the top source dir
instead of going into the builddir. Add --workdir argument to be able to
have a different workdir than builddir, but keep it default to builddir
for backward compatibility, and also because it makes gdb integration
better.
In commit a7e458effa we stopped erroring
out on invalid TAP stream contents, with the rationale that "prove" has
become more lenient.
A close reading of the TAP spec indicates why, though:
> A TAP parser is required to not consider an unknown line as an error but
> may optionally choose to capture said line and hand it to the test
> harness, which may have custom behavior attached. This is to allow for
> forward compatability. Test::Harness silently ignores incorrect lines,
> but will become more stringent in the future. TAP::Harness reports TAP
> syntax errors at the end of a test run.
The goal of treating unknown lines as an error in the TAP parser is not
because unknown lines are fine and dandy. The goal is to allow
implementing future versions of TAP, and handling it via existing
parsers. Since Meson has both a parser and a harness, let's do exactly
that -- pass these lines as a distinctive status to the test harness,
then have the test harness complain.
Just like comment lines, blank lines do nothing. Before commit
a7e458effa we ended off the parser by
returning if the line was blank, because we needed to in order to catch
non-blank lines as errors. But really, we should have always returned
much earlier and not wasted time attempting to process anything.
When auto-generating e.g. a `clang-format` target, we first check to see
if the user has already defined one, and if so we don't bother creating
our own. We check for two things:
- if a ninja target already exists, skip
- if a run_target was defined, skip
The second check is *obviously* a duplicate of the first check. But the
first check never actually worked, because all_outputs was only
generated *after* generating all utility rules and actually writing out
the build.ninja file. The check itself compares against nothing, and
always evaluates to false no matter what.
Fix this by reordering the target creation logic so we track outputs
immediately, but only error about them later. Now, we no longer need to
special-case run_target at all, so we can drop that whole logic from
build.py and interpreter.py, and simplify the tracked state.
Fixes defining an `alias_target()` for a utility, which tried to
auto-generate another rule and errored out. Also fixes doing the same
thing with a `custom_target()` although I cannot imagine why anyone
would want to produce an output file named `clang-format` (unless clang
itself decided to migrate to Meson, which would be cool but feels
unlikely).
Due to a deficiency in upstream clang-format, our automatic target for
`ninja clang-format-check` runs clang-format, then compares the bytes of
the file before and after to see if anything changed. If it did change,
we rewrite the file back to its original form and error out.
Since clang-format 10, there is an option to report warnings instead of
writing the reformatted file, and also, to make those warnings fatal.
This is a much better user experience, to see *what* is wrong, not just
that something is wrong, and also gets rid of a pretty gross "modify
your files when you didn't ask for it" behavior that is vulnerable to
getting interrupted.
Let's switch over to the new approach, if we can.
Since it's also used in the rust module, it should be in a common place.
Also rename from `TEST_KWARGS` to `TEST_KWS`, which is more in line with
the `*_KW` naming scheme used in the type_checking module.
Fixes the following warning when building a rpm pkg using %meson macro:
WARNING: Running the setup command as `meson [options]` instead of `meson setup [options]` is ambiguous and deprecated.
I accidentally followed a very old link and was briefly discombobulated.
To save other people from this mistake, use the current location
of the Meson repository, and tweak the surrounding text so it is
more clear that it was written nearly 10 years ago.

We do some magic to figure out what names of pkg-config dependencies to
even search for. This magic simply checked for `pkg-config` the $PATH
executable, which was broken in a variety of ways and had a comment to
that effect.
The pkg-config dependency class has some interesting logic for finding a
good pkg-config that will be used for dependency lookups. We sometimes
need to use it, though, outside of the class. Make that possible.
Claiming that "it should literally never be used ever no matter what" is
confusing and wrong -- it's definitely useful sometimes, but does result
in downsides, like not tracking inter-target dependencies correctly.

Which adds the `use-set-for-membership` check. It's generally faster in
python to use a set with the `in` keyword, because it's a hash check
instead of a linear walk, this is especially true with strings, where
it's actually O(n^2), one loop over the container, and an inner loop of
the strings (as string comparison works by checking that `a[n] == b[n]`,
in a loop).
Also, I'm tired of complaining about this in reviews, let the tools do
it for me :)
We already use options.command for the subcommand in use, in this case
devenv. We cannot reuse that variable name for the list of words to
execute inside the devenv.
When a test executable references a local shared library, make sure that
we apply the appropriate $LD_LIBRARY_PATH so that the linker can find it
at runtime.
The DT_RUNPATH entry does ensure that the binary references the path to
the shared library build, however the RUNPATH list is only searched
after $LD_LIBRARY_PATH. So if the user has a shared library of the same
name in their $LD_LIBRARY_PATH, this will be the version found and used
for running the test. This is bad if you're trying to use Meson to test
a shared library you're developing and have installed in a local prefix
which is under $LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

This finds uses of deny-listed functions, which defaults to map and
filter. These functions should be replaced by comprehensions in
idiomatic python because:
1. comprehensions are more heavily optimized and are often faster
2. They avoid the need for lambdas in some cases, which make them
faster
3. you can do the equivalent in one statement rather than two, which
is faster
4. They're easier to read
5. if you need a concrete instance (ie, a list) then you don't have
to convert the iterator to a list afterwards
The one case of this was a false-positive, but what we were doing
(checking locals()) is not idiomatic. I've replaced the call to
`locals()` with the obvious `var: T.Optional[str] = None` with check
instead.
Which catches a very real bug. The zlib system dependency failed to work
on MSVC since initial implementation in commit
c1a3b37ab7 -- it looked for the wrong
name.
