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.
Fixes#7082
On Windows, the basename is used to determine the name of the PDB
file. So for a project called myproject, we will create myproject.dll
and myproject.exe, both of which will have myproject.pdb. This is
a file collision. Instead, append `_test`, similar to the C# template.
Fixes AllPlatformTest.test_templates on MSVC. This became a hard error
when we started listing PDBs in the implicit outputs list of ninja
targets.
Do the same for a test that was making the same mistake.
Now we aggressively de-dup the list of libraries used while linking,
and when linking with GNU ld we have to enclose all static libraries
with -Wl,--start-group and -Wl,--end-group to force the linker to
resolve all symbols recursively. This is needed when static libraries
have circular deps on each other (see included test).
The --start/end-group change is also needed for circular dependencies
between static libraries because we no longer recursively list out all
library dependencies.
The size of build.ninja for GStreamer is now down to 6.1M from 20M,
and yields a net reduction in configuration time of 10%
We were doing this on the basis of an old comment, but there was no
test for it and I couldn't reproduce the issue with clang on Linux
at all.
Let's add a (somewhat comprehensive) test and see if it breaks
anywhere if we stop doing this.
Halves the size of gstreamer's build.ninja from 20M to 8.7M
