When mutable items are stored in an lru cache, changing the returned
items changes the cached items as well. Therefore we want to ensure that
we're not mutating them. Using the ImmutableListProtocol allows mypy to
find mutations and reject them. This doesn't solve the problem of
mutable values inside the values, so you could have to do things like:
```python
ImmutableListProtocol[ImmutableListProtocol[str]]
```
or equally hacky. It can also be used for input types and acts a bit
like C's const:
```python
def foo(arg: ImmutableListProtocol[str]) -> T.List[str]:
arg[1] = 'foo' # works while running, but mypy errors
```
...Update 2, to be exact, since the Visual Studio linker only gained the
`/WHOLEARCHIVE:` feature since Visual Studio 2015 Update 2.
This checks whether we have the corresponding `cl.exe` which is
versioned at or after Visual Studio 2015 Update 2 before we try to apply
the `/WHOLEARCHIVE:xxx` linker flag. If we aren't, use built-in methods
in Meson to grab the object files of the dependent static lib's, along
with the objects that were `link_whole:`'ed into them, and feed this
list into the linker instead.
This would make `link_whole:` work on Visual Studio 2015 Update 1 and
earlier, including previous Visual Studio versions.
* Allow address sanitizer for Visual Studio 2019 version 16.9
Address Sanitizer was first supported with the current syntax in Visual
Studio 16.9.0 (cl version 19.28.29910).
* VS: Convert /fsanitize=address to project file setting
When pch are used for a target meson will make the compiler to include
the pre-compiled header. While this is useful, this needs to happen
before any other header has been included, otherwise:
1) we won't take advantage of pch for anything else previously included
2) gcc will just fail as it won't even try to look for a pre-compiled
header in this case [1]
This case can happen quite a easily when a dependency provides an
included header in its cflags.
As per this, split _generate_single_compile() in two phases, one is
responsible of initializing the compiler data, while the other is
defining commands for the context.
In this way, when pch can be used, we can insert the pch inclusion
earlier than any other provided by the target.
