I've always found ninja reporting 'a meson_exe.py custom command'
unclear and confusing. Instead say we are invoking a custom command,
wrapped by meson, and why.
- "Go To Document" action previously only worked
on c/cpp files which had the include directories
set but it was not possible to move from header to another header.
This reverts commit 8ee1c9a07a.
No rationale was given for this change prior to merging. After the fact
it was described as desired by distro packagers, however as a distro
packager I believe this commit hurts me.
From a distro packaging perspective, we primarily care about one thing:
previously building code should still build. Hence, -Werror is bad for
our use case. meson handles this via -D werror which is different from
-D warning_level and as long as the former is disabled, warnings in the
build do not cause harm (but may attract review attention for upstream
to fix).
buildtype is a completely unrelated concern, and the intention for
=plain is to disable debug or optimization settings that result in
codegen differences and thus different built artifacts. This must not
happen in distro builds because the *distributed programs* should
conform to policy settings.
Unfortunately, completely disabling warnings happens silently, and
cannot be overridden even if you really, really believe you know what
you're doing. It is thematically broken, since use of
add_project_arguments() to add more -W flags is not likewise ignored.
But if you try to add -Wall in that manner, meson will lecture you to
use warning_level which you cannot do. And if you have custom warning
flags which depend on options enabled by judicious use of -Wall via
default_options: 'warning_level=1', then you end up with generated
warnings complaining about your command line rather than your code, such
as:
cc1: warning: ‘-Wformat-y2k’ ignored without ‘-Wformat’ [-Wformat-y2k]
cc1: warning: ‘-Wformat-extra-args’ ignored without ‘-Wformat’ [-Wformat-extra-args]
cc1: warning: ‘-Wformat-zero-length’ ignored without ‘-Wformat’ [-Wformat-zero-length]
cc1: warning: ‘-Wformat-contains-nul’ ignored without ‘-Wformat’ [-Wformat-contains-nul]
cc1: warning: ‘-Wformat-security’ ignored without ‘-Wformat’ [-Wformat-security]
which then break the build with -Werror.
Throughout all this, a buildtype of "plain" does *not* disable -D
werror=true, which is the part where distro builds actually break down!
Users who both wish to disable debug/optimization codegen, *and* disable
warning commentary, are encouraged to do so by doing both, not by doing
one and having the other be assumed.
Fixes#7399
Don't stop generating STATIC_LINKER rules at the first MachineChoice
which isn't available (i.e. generate a STATIC_LINKER rule, even if
STATIC_LINKER_FOR_BUILD isn't needed)
Also warn about internal errors which lead to non-existent rule
references, rather than exploding with a KeyError.
This allows the NINJA environment variable to support all the Windows special
cases, especially allowing an absolute path without extension.
Based on a patch by Yonggang Luo.

Add the ids of any target that needs to be rebuilt before running the
tests as computed by the backend, to the introspection data for tests and benchmarks.
This also includes anything that appears on the test's command line.
Without this information, IDEs must update the entire build before running
any test. They can now instead selectively build the test executable
itself and anything that is needed to run it.

extra_paths only matter for the host machine if using an exe_wrapper.
However, because CustomTarget.for_machine is always MachineChoice.HOST,
they were computed unnecessarily in as_meson_exe_cmdline.
Defer computation of extra_paths until after we have found out if the
custom target executable is really for the host or the build machine,
so that we can use exe_for_machine; for_machine then becomes unused
and can be removed.

The lambda in NinjaBuildElement.write is quite expensive, totalling 0.3s
just to do a couple function calls. Since it is used just once, simply
inline it.
On a QEMU build, the total time spent in write from this series goes from
5.321s to 3.238s, though part of it can be attributed to previous patches.
Optimize the regular expression so that the variable expansion part
always ends up in group 1, and the trailer after the variable is discarded
in the same match. Do not use re.sub to remove braces, and do not bother
building the expanded command, just adjust the estimated length on the fly.
functools.reduce is extremely slow, so I am keeping ' '.join(chunk).
On a QEMU build the time spend in the function goes from 1.072s to 0.757s.
Use regular expressions to quickly weed out strings that require quoting
On a QEMU build the time spent in ninja_quote goes from 1.978s to 1.281s,
with str.replace being kicked completely out of the profile.
Without the parenthesis, the command evaluates to `[]` if
`use_llvm_cov` is `False`.
Also fix tests to actually check whether or not coverage reports are
generated.

Since -Wl,-rpath= is not the only valid rpath ldflags syntax we
need to try and match all valid rpath ldflags.
In addition we should prevent -Wl,--just-symbols from being used to
set rpath due to inconsistent compiler support.

Fixup for b4b1a2c5a1.
A warning would be printed for any rule with multiple outputs, for
example:
WARNING: custom_target 'coredump.conf.5' has more than one output! Using the first one.
WARNING: custom_target 'dnssec-trust-anchors.d.5' has more than one output! Using the first one.
WARNING: custom_target 'halt.8' has more than one output! Using the first one.

This extends the 109 generatecode test case to also define a test, so
coverage can really detect something.
Since the CompileArgs class already needs to know about the compiler,
and we really need at least per-lanaguage if not per-compiler
CompilerArgs classes, let's get the CompilerArgs instance from the
compiler using a method.
When changing meson option cpp_eh, it was passed to cl with AdditionalOptions and resulted in unsuppressable warning "cl : command line warning D9025: overriding '/EHs' with '/EHa'"
This is needed in the case where a custom_target directly depends on a
shared library, and somehow loads it.
(Specifically this can be the case with gtkdoc, when it invokes
gtkdoc-scangobj, which will build and run it's own code to load a shared
library, to introspect it)
Handle command arguments which contain multiple substitutions correctly
in Backend.eval_custom_target_command()
In particular, gnome.gtkdoc() makes arguments of the form '--cflags
-I@SOURCE_ROOT@ -I@BUILD_ROOT' (where these arguments are then passed
down to a compiler invocation)
Normally, these are subsequently made right by
NinjaBackend.replace_paths(), but if Backend.as_meson_exe_cmdline()
decides that the command needs to be pickled, that doesn't happen.
(Although having two places where this substitution might happen smells
really bad)
Use the IDE's OpenMP flag instead of adding /openmp to additional
arguments. The IDE appears to override /openmp in additional arguments
with the IDE setting, which defaults to false, leading to binaries built
without OpenMP.
It's assumed that where we use DEPFILE in command or rspfile_content, it
can be quoted by quoting the ninja variable (e.g. $DEPFILE ->
'$DEPFILE')
This is nearly always true, but not for gcc response files, where
backslash is always an escape, even inside single quotes.
So this fails if the value of DEPFILE contains backslashes (e.g. a
Windows path)
Do some special casing, adding DEPFILE_UNQUOTED, so that the value of
depfile is not shell quoted (so ninja can use it to locate the depfile
to read), but the value of DEPFILE used in command or rspfile_content is
shell/response file quoted)
(It would seem this also exists as a more general problem with built-in
ninja variables: '$out' appearing in command is fine, unless one of the
output filenames contains a single quote. Although forbidding shell
metacharacters in filenames seems a reasonable way to solve that.)
(How does this even work, currently? Backslashes in the value of all
ninja variables, including DEPFILE were escaped, which protected them
against being treated as escapes in the gcc response file. And
fortunately, the empty path elements indicated by a double backslash in
the value of depfile are ignored when ninja opens that file to read it.)
Now that all command-line escaping for ninja is dealt with in the ninja
backend, escape_extra_args() shouldn't need to do anything.
But tests of existing behaviour rely on all backslashes in defines being
C escaped: This means that Windows-style paths including backslashes can
be safely used, but makes it impossible to have a define containing a C
escape.
We avoided having to get this right previously, as we'd always use a
response file if possible.
But this is so insane, I can't imagine it's right.
See also: subprocess.list2cmdline() internal method
In certain exotic configurations, the style of quoting expected in the
response file may not match that expected by the shell.
e.g. under MSYS2, ninja invokes commands via CreateProcess (which
results in cmd-style quoting processed by parse_cmdline or
CommandLineToArgvW), but gcc will use sh-style quoting in any response
file it reads.
Future work: The rspfile quoting style should be a method of the
compiler or linker object, rather than hardcoded in ninjabackend.
(In fact, can_linker_accept_rsp() should be extended to do this, since
if we can accept rsp, we should know the quoting style)
Rather than ad-hoc avoiding quoting where harmful, identify arguments
which contain shell constructs and ninja variables, and don't apply
quoting to those arguments.
This is made more complex by some arguments which might contain ninja
variables anywhere, not just at start, e.g. '/Fo$out'
(This implementation would fall down if there was an argument which
contained both a literal $ or shell metacharacter and a ninja variable,
but there are no instances of such a thing and it seems unlikely)
$DEPFILE needs special treatment. It's used in the special variable
depfile, so it's value can't be shell quoted (as it used as a filename
to read by ninja). So instead that variable needs to be shell quoted
when it appears in a command.
(Test common/129, which uses a depfile with a space in it's name,
exercises that)
If 'targetdep' is not in raw_names, test cases/rust all fail.
We need to count rsp and non-rsp references separately, which we need to
do after build statement variables have been set so we can tell the
difference, which introduces a bit of complexity.
Writing rsp files on Windows is moderately expensive, so only use them
when the command line is long enough to need them.
This also makes the output of 'ninja -v' useful more often (something
like 'cl @exec@exe/main.c.obj.rsp' is not very useful if you don't have
the response file to look at)
For a rule where using a rspfile is possible, write rspfile and
non-rspfile versions of that rule. Choose which one to use for each
build statement, depending on the anticpated length of the command line.
