As per commit 2340fd3, unexpected installed files are not reported anymore when
using compilers other than 'cl', this regression was introduced in the attempt
of not reporting extra .pdb files, but actually caused any non extra .pdb file
in other compilers to be ignored.
Fix boolean test, by reporting any extra file a part '.pdb' ones under non 'cl'
compiler, while anyone under 'cl'.
Correct version_compare_condition_with_min() for the case where no minimum
version is established by the version constraint. Add a simple test.
Also fix test_feature_check_usage_subprojects by escaping regex
metacharacters.
if |condition| is '<', '<=' or '!=', the minimum version satisfying the
condition is 0, so the minimum version for a feature is never met.
if |condition| is '>=' or '==', the minimum version satisfying the condition
is the version compared with, so the minimum version for a feature must be
less than or equal to that.
if |condition| is '>', the minimum version satisfying the condition is
greater than the version compared with, so the minimum version for a feature
must be less than that
(it's this last condition that makes this function necessary, as in all
other cases we could establish a definite minimum version which we could
compare to see if it's less than or equal to the current version)
Currently this trims '0.48.0.dev1' to '0.48.0', and then requires exactly
that version in the generated meson.build for the test.
Just use the exact version.
Also only use a 'project(meson_version:)' constraint in the generated
project if a version is specified
Also remove unused grab_leading_numbers
On Deban, and assuming now on Ubuntu as well, pip3 is only available after installing the python3-pip package. For that case explicitly specified the package during the system installation.
The problem with the earlier position of the generation code was, that
the results could not be cached, because the list of all link_deps was
overall different. However, it shared a special kind of subsets with
other build build targets.
Generating the set of subdirs that are required for linking, alongside
with the link dependencies brings the possibility of caching this.
This reduces the buildting from 1 min. in efl down to 20 sec. And
reduces the amount of 30872534 calls down.
this saves ~40 sec.
Always honour any windres setting in cross-file (we can't be compiling with
msvc, but this should apply when cross-compiling using gcc or clang)
Always honour WINDRES environment variable
Otherwise look for the resource compiler which is part of the same toolset
as the C or C++ compiler.
Add some commentary on why the conventions for compiled resource file
extensions differ between RC and windres
Also don't try to report non-existent path when we couldn't find the
resource compiler.
It's fairly common on Linux and *BSD platforms to check for these
attributes existence, so it makes sense to me to have this checking
build into meson itself. Autotools also has a builtin for handling
these, and by building them in we can short circuit cases that we know
that these don't exist (MSVC).
Additionally this adds support for two common MSVC __declspec
attributes, dllimport and dllexport. This implements the declspec
version (even though GCC has an __attribute__ version that both it and
clang support), since GCC and Clang support the MSVC version as well.
Thus it seems reasonable to assume that most projects will use the
__declspec version over teh __attribute__ version.
