One thing that makes cross compiling with meson a pain is the need for
cross files. The problem is not with cross files themselves (they're
actually rather brilliant in that they allow for a much greater deal of
flexibility than autotools hardcoded paths approach) but that each user
needs to reimplement them themselves, when for most people what they
really want is a cross file that could be provided by their distro, all
they really want is the correct toolchain.
This patch is the first stop to making it easier for distros to ship
their own cross files (and for users to put their's somewhere safe so
they don't get `git clean`ed. It allows the cross files (on Linux and
*BSD) to be stored in home and system paths (~/.config/meson/cross,
/usr/share/meson/cross, and /usr/local/share/meson/cross), and to be
loaded by simply by specificying --cross-file.
With this patch meson will check the locations its always checked first,
(is cross file absolute, or is it relative to $PWD), then will check
~/.config/meson/cross, /usr/local/share/meson/cross,
/usr/share/meson/cross, (or $XDG_CONFIG_PATH and $XDG_DATA_DIRS) for the
files, raising an exception if it cannot find the specified cross file.
Fixes#2283
This exposes the already existing UserStringArrayOption class through
the meson_options.txt. The intention is to provide a way for projects to
take list/array type arguments and validate that all of the elements in
that array are valid without using complex looping constructrs.
There are currently entries for cups and pcap; but not LLVM, GnuStep, or
WxWidgets. Instead of having an entry for each of these just have a
single entry for all of them, since the majority of the information is
duplicated between them anyway.
- Added a new compile_translations method since preprocess was already quite
full and translations compilation is quite different from ui, qrc, cpp files
preprocessing.
- Updated translation.
- Updated test case.

In CommonMark, there are no backslash escapes in code spans, so only two backslashes in the source document are necessary to produce two backslashes in the output document.
For dependency() and subproject(), the default_options argument can
override the defaults in the subproject's meson_options.txt, not in
its project() invocation.
Resolves#2612
Rather than requiring a bit of boilerplate in every meson.build, which is
only documented in a comment in mesoncore.py, use sensible defaults for
sysconfdir, localstatedir and sharedstatedir depending on the prefix.
Fixes#1637
v2:
For clarity, give get_builtin_option_default() a noneIfSuppress argument,
rather than overloading prefix '' and None with special meanings.
This commit adds support for an additional `moc_extra_arguments` keyword.
It becomes especially handy, when `moc`-ed sources conditionally provide
`slots`, depending on compile time macros (i.e. defines).
This is a cosmetic change because github seems to interpret those
correctly. Nonetheless, it adds unnecessary noise and makes people
modifying the pages think it might be needed.
