There is no reason for these inititializers to exist, all they do is
defer to the parent initializer. Worse, since they are not type
annotated thy prevent the parent type annotations from being used
This really is more of a struct than a dict, as the types are disjoint
and they are internally handled, (ie, not from user input). This cleans
some things up, in addition I spotted a bug in the ModuleState where the
dict with the version and license is passed to a field that expects just
the version string.
We have a lot of these. Some of them are harmless, if unidiomatic, such
as `if (condition)`, others are potentially dangerous `assert(...)`, as
`assert(condtion)` works as expected, but `assert(condition, message)`
will result in an assertion that never triggers, as what you're actually
asserting is `bool(tuple[2])`, which will always be true.
This is useful both from the perspective of optional functionality that
requires a module, and also as I continue to progress with Meson++,
which will probably not implement all of the modules that Meson itself
does.
Custom objects returned by modules must be subclass of ModuleObject and
have the state argument in its methods.
Add MutableModuleObject base class for objects that needs to be deep
copied on assignation.
The only advantage they have is they have the interpreter in arguments,
but it's already available as self.interpreter. We should discourage
usage of the interpreter API and rely on ModuleState object instead in
the future.
This also lift the restriction that a module method cannot add build
targets, but that was not enforced for snippet methods anyway (and some
modules were doing it) and it's really loose restriction as it should
check for many other things if we wanted to make it consistent.
install_scripts used to replace @BUILD_ROOT@ and @SOURCE_ROOT@ but it
was not documented and got removed in Meson 0.58.0. gnome.gtkdoc() was
relying on that behaviour, but it has always been broken in the case the
source or build directory contains spaces.
Fix this by changing get_include_args() to substitue paths directly
which will then get escaped correctly.
Add a unit test that builds GObject documentation which is where this
issue has been spotted.
Fixes: #8744
- ModuleState is now a real class that will have methods in the future
for actions modules needs, instead of using interpreter internal API.
- New ModuleObject base class, similar to InterpreterObject, that should
be used by all objects returned by modules. Its methods gets the
ModuleState passed as first argument. It has a `methods` dictionary to
define what is public API that can be called from build definition.
- Method return value is not required to be a ModuleReturnValue any
more, it can be any type that interpreter can holderify, including
ModuleObject.
- Legacy module API is maintained until we port all modules.
In the future modules should be updated:
- Use methods dict.
- Remove snippets.
- Custom objects returned by modules should all be subclass of
ModuleObject to get the state iface in their methods.
- Modules should never call into interpreter directly and instead state
object should have wrapper API.
- Stop using ModuleReturnValue in methods that just return simple
objects like strings. Possibly remove ModuleReturnValue completely
since all objects that needs to be processed by interpreter (e.g.
CustomTarget) should be created through ModuleState API.
D lang compilers have an option -release (or similar) which turns off
asserts, contracts, and other runtime type checking. This patch wires
that up to the b_ndebug flag.

everything else.

Currently, run_target does not get namespaced for each subproject,
unlike executable and others. This means that two subprojects sharing
the same run_target name cause meson to crash.
Fix this by moving the subproject namespacing logic from the BuildTarget
class to the Target class.
This also adds a "# noqa: F401" comment on an unused "import lzma",
which we are using it in a try/except block that is being used to
check if the lzma module is importable; of course it is unused.
v2: This turned out to be a little tricky.
mesonbuild/modules/__init__.py had the "unused" import:
from ..interpreterbase import permittedKwargs, noKwargs
However, that meant that the various modules could do things like:
from . import noKwargs # "." is "mesonbuild.modules"
Which breaks when you remove __init__.py's "unused" import. I
could have tagged that import with "# noqa: F401", but instead I
chose to have each of the module import directly from
"..interpreterbase" instead of ".".
I got this warning on a build:
> WARNING: Passed invalid keyword argument preset. This will become a hard error in the future.
I had to grep in meson code to understand that "preset" was the name of
the invalid argument. This is not obvious at all depending on the
argument name (here it looked like it was about argument presets).
Let's make it clearer by putting it in quotes.
This avoids printing several 'Found:' messages during configure, and
also avoids doing several searches for the same binary. This is already
done by the interpreter for `find_program` calls from build files.
Also move it to the module-wide __init__.py file so it can be used by
other modules as-needed.
Also use it for g-ir-scanner where it was missed in one place, also fix
exception name in the same place.
It is often useful to be able to check if a specific object is of a type
defined in a module. To that end, define all such targets in
modules/__init__.py so that everyone can refer to them without poking
into module-specific code.
