At the same time, also fix the order in which compile arguments are
added. Detailed comments have been added concerning the priority and
order of the arguments.
Also adds a unit test and an integration test for the same.
With the 'install_mode' kwarg, you can now specify the file and
directory permissions and the owner and the group to be used while
installing. You can pass either:
* A single string specifying just the permissions
* A list of strings with:
- The first argument a string of permissions
- The second argument a string specifying the owner or
an int specifying the uid
- The third argument a string specifying the group or
an int specifying the gid
Specifying `false` as any of the arguments skips setting that one.
The format of the permissions kwarg is the same as the symbolic
notation used by ls -l with the first character that specifies 'd',
'-', 'c', etc for the file type omitted since that is always obvious
from the context.
Includes unit tests for the same. Sadly these only run on Linux right
now, but we want them to run on all platforms. We do set the mode in the
integration tests for all platforms but we don't check if they were
actually set correctly.
Set the rules for the symlinking on the target itself, and then reuse
that information while generating aliases during the build, and then
pass it to the install script too.
If you declare_dependency(link_with : 'string'), an exception is
supposed to be raised, but instead of a proper message, it's an
exception about a missing attribute.
Cache the absolute dir that the script is searched in and the name of
the script. These are the only two things that change.
Update the test to test for both #1235 and the case when a script of the
same name is in a different directory (which also covers the subproject
case).
Closes#1235
This is much more accurate since this is actually what determines what
file naming to use and whether there will be PDB debugging information
or not.
Closes#1169
This greatly improves the logic for determining the linker. Previously,
we would completely break if a target contained only extracted objects
and we were using more than one compiler in our project.
This also fixes determination of the linker if our target only contains
generated objc++ sources, and other funky combinations.
This avoids us having no compilers at all for targets that are composed
entirely of objects with no sources.
Now we will always have a compiler for a target even if it is composed
entirely of objects generated with custom targets unless it has
completely unknown sources.
Everywhere we use this object, we end up iterating over it and comparing
compiler.get_language() with something. Using a dict is the obvious
choice and simplifies a lot of code.
The error message is misleading (talks about external dependencies), and
doesn't tell you what you need to do (use the output of
declare_dependency, dependency, or find_library). At the same time
rename add_external_deps to add_deps since it adds internal deps too.
Plus many more error message improvements all over the place.
Not only does extract_all_objects() now work properly again,
extract_objects() also works if you specify a subset of sources all of
which have been compiled into a single unified object.
So, for instance, this allows you to extract all the objects
corresponding to the C sources compiled into a target consisting of
C and C++ sources.
This is the first step in making Vala support have feature-parity with
C/C++ support. Vala and Vapi sources generated with Generators and
CustomTargets are no longer ignored. Dependencies are setup properly and
they are added to the commandline.
