This simplifies a lot of code, and centralize "key=value" parsing in a
single place.
Unknown command line options becomes an hard error instead of
merely printing warning message. It has been warning it would become an
hard error for a while now. This has exceptions though, any
unknown option starting with "<lang>_" or "b_" are ignored because they
depend on which languages gets added and which compiler gets selected.
Also any option for unknown subproject are ignored because they depend
on which subproject actually gets built.
Also write more command line parsing tests. "19 bad command line
options" is removed because bad cmd line option became hard error and
it's covered with new tests in "30 command line".
All options are now the projectoptions list, regardless of how they got
defined in the command line.
This also delays setting builtin option values until the main project()
default options are parsed to simplify the code. This is possible
because we already delayed setting the backend after parsing main
project() in a previous commit.
The project() function could have a different value for the backend
option in its default_options kwargs.
Also set backend options, passing them in command line had no effect
previously.
It is nicer to early raise exception if the value from meson_options.txt
is not a string in "[]" format than duplicating the parser code for both
cases.
Also it was checking for duplicated items only in the user_input case,
but we should also check for dups in the default value from
meson_options.txt.
And, with that, update the test cases that checked that preserving the
original permissions worked to set install_umask=preserve explicitly in
those projects' default_options.
Tested: ./run_tests.py
This option controls the permissions of installed files (except for
those specified explicitly using install_mode option, e.g. in
install_data rules.)
An install-umask of 022 will install all binaries, directories and
executable files with mode rwxr-xr-x, while all data and non-executable
files will be installed with mode rw-r--r--.
Setting install-umask to the string 'preserve' will disable this
feature, keeping the permissions of installed files same as the files in
the build tree (or source tree for install_data and install_subdir.)
Note that, in this case, the umask used when building and that used when
checking out the source tree will leak into the install tree.
Keep the default as 'preserve', to show that no behavior is changed and
all tests keep passing unchanged.
Tested: ./run_tests.py
This implements support for visual studio solution directories.
Projects will by default be put into directories that map their sub-directory
name in the source folder. No directories are created if `--layout=flat` is used.
Fixes: #2524
Currently we manually pass the argparse action, this isn't very DRY,
since the builtin_types already has all the data necessary to find that.
This adds a new function to determine the action based on the default
type.
Implementing set_value() in the base class simplifies the code and
ensure validation is always consistent.
This fix UserIntegerOption.validate_value() not checking min/max value,
and UserArrayOption.validate_value() raising exception because it does
not pass a value for user_input argument of validate() method.
There's no reason not to also look in these places on Cygwin or OSX. Don't
do this on Windows, as these paths aren't meaningful there.
Move test_cross_file_system_paths from LinuxlikeTests to AllPlatformTests.
Duplicated options in array types have been removed by a previous
commit but someone could be using it.
The previous behaviour has been restored but the existence of
duplicates is now tested, and in that case a `DEPRECATION` message
is shown.
Array options can receive duplicated values, which can produce
errors if case those duplicated values make processing some
elements twice when they are expected to be processed only once.
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.
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.
