Adds a new maximum warning level that is roughly equivalent to "all warnings".
This adds a way to use `/Wall` with MSVC (without the previous broken warning),
`-Weverything` with clang, and almost all general warnings in GCC with
strictness roughly equivalent to clang's `-Weverything`.
The GCC case must be implemented by meson since GCC doesn't provide a similar
option. To avoid maintenance headaches for meson, this warning level is
defined objectively: all warnings are included except those that require
specific values or are specific to particular language revisions. This warning
level is mainly intended for new code, and it is expected (nearly guaranteed)
that projects will need to add some suppressions to build cleanly with it.
More commonly, it's just a handy way to occasionally take a look at what
warnings are present with some compiler, in case anything interesting shows up
you might want to enable in general.
Since the warnings enabled at this level are inherently unstable with respect
to compiler versions, it is intended for use by developers and not to be set as
the default.
-Wnon-virtual-dtor is not what people think of as a standard warning
flag. It was previously removed from -Wall in
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16190 on the grounds that
people didn't like it and were refusing to use -Wall at all because it
forced this warning. Instead, it is enabled by -Weffc++ which is
typically not enabled and even comes with GCC documentation warnings
stating that the standard library doesn't obey it, and you might need to
`grep -v` and filter out warnings. (!!!)
It doesn't fit into the typical semantics of Meson's warning_level
option, which usually aligns with compiler standard warning levels
rather than a niche ideological warning level.
It was originally added in commit 22af56e05a,
but without any specific rationale included, and has gone unquestioned
since then -- except by the Meson users who see it, assume there is a
finely crafted design behind it, and quietly opt out by rolling their own
warning options with `add_project_arguments('-Wall', ...)`.
Furthermore a GCC component maintainer for the C++ standard library
opened a Meson bug report specially to tell us that this warning flag is
a "dumb option" and "broken by design" and "doesn't warn about the right
thing anyway", thus it should not be used. This is a reasonably
authoritative source that maybe, just maybe, this flag... is too
opinionated to force upon Meson users without recourse. It's gone beyond
opinionated and into the realm of compiler vendors seem to think that
the state of the language would be better if the flag did not exist at
all, whether default or not.
Fixes#11096
https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/9287 changed the `optimization=0`
to pass `-O0` to the compiler. This change is reasonable by itself
but unfortunately, it breaks `buildtype=plain`, which promises
that “no extra build flags are used”.
`buildtype=plain` is important for distros like NixOS,
which manage compiler flags for optimization and hardening
themselves.
Let’s introduce a new optimization level that does nothing
and set it as the default for `buildtype=plain`.
This allows early exit of the project tests once a certain number of
failures are detected. For example `meson test --maxfail=1` will abort
as soon as a single test fails.
Currently running tests are marked as failed via INTERRUPT.
Resolves#9352
When at least one Rust target is present, we now generate a
rust-project.json file, which can be consumed by rust-analyzer. This is
placed in the build directory, and the editor must be configured to look
for this (as it is not a default search path).
wayland-scanner can generate header files that only include
wayland-client-core.h using a flag.
Add a core_only option to scan_xml to support this use case.
This is generally a bad idea, e.g. it causes OSError on freebsd.
It also gets ignored by solaris and thus causes unittest failures.
The proper solution is to simply reject any attempt to set this, and log a
warning.
The install_emptydir function does apply the mode as well, and since it
is a directory it actually does something. This is the only place where
we don't reset the mode.
Although install_subdir also installs directories, and in theory it
could set the mode as well, that would be a new feature. Also it doesn't
provide much granularity and has mixed semantics with files. Better to
let people use install_emptydir + install_subdir.
Fixes#5902
`configure_file` is both an extremely complicated implementation, and
a strange place for copying. It's a bit of a historical artifact, since
the fs module didn't yet exist. It makes more sense to move this to the
fs module and deprecate this `configure_file` version.
This new version works at build time rather than configure time, which
has the disadvantage it can't be passed to `run_command`, but with the
advantage that changes to the input don't require a full reconfigure.
The `install_headers` function now has an optional argument
`preserve_path` that allows installing multi-directory
headerfile structures that live alongside sourcecode with a
single command.
For example, the headerfile structure
headers = [
'one.h',
'two.h',
'alpha/one.h',
'alpha/two.h',
'alpha/three.h'
'beta/one.h'
]
can now be passed to `install_headers(headers, subdir: 'mylib', preserve_path: true)`
and the resulting directory tree will look like
{prefix}
└── include
└── mylib
├── alpha
│ ├── one.h
│ ├── two.h
│ └── three.h
├── beta
│ └── one.h
├── one.h
└── two.h
Fixes#3371
python compiled extensions should never need to expose any symbol other
than PyInit_* which is declared with default visibility via
PyMODINIT_FUNC on supported compilers.
Thus, a reasonably sane default is to mark any other symbols as hidden,
while still respecting any manually specified visibility.
Gate this on the version of python itself, as not all versions decorate
PyMODINIT_FUNC properly.
Otherwise it always returns the value for c++98, starting with MSVC 2017
15.7 or later. Earlier versions are not affected by this mis-feature.
See: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/reference/zc-cplusplus?view=msvc-160
This was originally applied as 0b97d58548
but later reverted because it made the CI red. Try it again, now.

gcovr will read this file anyway, but if it exists we don't need to
assume that the project wishes to exclude subprojects/ -- they can
determine that themselves.

lcov doesn't read the config file by default, but we can do the smart
thing here.
Fixes#4628
By default, meson will try to look for shared libraries first before
static ones. In the meson.build itself, one can use the static keyword
to control if a static library will be tried first but there's no simple
way for an end user performing a build to switch back and forth at will.
Let's cover this usecase by adding an option that allows a user to
specify if they want dependency lookups to try static or shared
libraries first. The writer of the meson.build can manually specify the
static keyword where appropriate which will override the value of this
option.
This function can be used to add fundamental dependencies such as glib
to all build products in one fell swoop. This can be useful whenever,
due to a project's coding conventions, it is not really possible to
compile any source file without including the dependency.

+ Extend the parser to recognize the multiline f-strings, which the
documentation already implies will work.
The syntax is like:
```
x = 'hello'
y = 'world'
msg = f'''This is a multiline string.
Sending a message: '@x@ @y@'
'''
```
which produces:
```
This is a multiline string.
Sending a message: 'hello world'
```
+ Added some f-string tests cases to "62 string arithmetic" to exercise
the new behavior.
[why]
Support for the relatively new mold linker is missing. If someone wants
to use mold as linker `LDFLAGS="-B/path/to/mold"` has to be added instead
of the usual `CC_LD=mold meson ...` or `CXX_LD=mold meson ...`.
[how]
Allow `mold' as linker for clang and newer GCC versions (that versions
that have support).
The error message can be a bit off, because it is generic for all GNU
like compilers, but I guess that is ok. (i.e. 'mold' is not listed as
possible linker, even if it would be possible for the given compiler.)
[note]
GCC Version 12.0.1 is not sufficient to say `mold` is supported. The
expected release with support will be 12.1.0.
On the other hand people that use the un-released 12.0.1 will probably
have built it from trunk. Allowing 12.0.1 is helping bleeding edge
developers to use mold in Meson already now.

- Documentation for the pkgconfig.relocatable module option in
Builtin-options. Gives an explanation on what it does, usefulness and
what error that can occur when using it.
- Add pkgconfig.relocatable release snippet. Similar to the
documentation in Builtin-options. Just a bit more brief.
- Add Pkgconfig to DataTests.test_builtin_options_documented in the
docs unit tests.
Adds a new debug() function that can be used in the meson.build to
log messages to the meson-log.txt that will not be printed to stdout
when configuring the project.
Previously subprojects inherited languages already added by main
project, or any previous subproject. This change to have a list of
compilers per interpreters, which means that if a subproject does not
add 'c' language it won't be able to compile .c files any more, even if
main project added the 'c' language.
This delays processing list of compilers until the interpreter adds the
BuildTarget into its list of targets. That way the interpreter can add
missing languages instead of duplicating that logic into BuildTarget for
the cython case.
This reverts commit 79c6075b56.

PYTHONPATH cannot be reliably determined. The standard use case for
installing python modules with Meson is mixed pure sources (at least
`__init__.py`) and compiled extension_modules or configured files.
Unfortunately that doesn't actually work because python will not load
the same package hierarchy from two different directories, one a source
directory and one a (mandatory) out of tree build directory.
(It kind of can, but you need to do what this test case accidentally
stumbled upon, which is namespace packages. Namespace packages are a
very specific use case and you are NOT SUPPOSED to use them outside that
use case, so people are not going to use them just to circumvent Meson
devenv stuff as that would have negative install-time effects.)
Adding PYTHONPATH anyway will just lead to documentation commitments
which we cannot actually uphold, and confusing issues at time of use
because some imports *will* work... and some will *not*. The end result
will be a half-created tree of modules which just doesn't work together
at all, but because it partially works, users attempting to debug it
will spend time wondering why parts of it do import.
For any case where the automatic devenv would work correctly, it will
also work correctly to use `meson.add_devenv()` a single time, which is
very easy to manually get correct and doesn't provide any significant
value to automate.
In the long run, an uninstalled python package environment will require
"editable installs" support.
