When the build definition has changed since the last ninja invocation meson
test operated on an outdated list of tests and their dependencies. That could
lead to some tests not being run / not all dependencies being built. This was
particularly confusing because the user would see the output of
reconfiguration and rebuilding, and the next mtest invocation would have the
updated configuration.
One issue with this is that that we will now output more useless ninja output
when nothing needs to be done (the "Entering directory" part is not repeated,
as we happen to be in the build directory already). It likely is worth
removing that output, perhaps by testing if anything needs to be done with
ninja -n, but that seems better addressed separately.
Fixes: #9852
A later commit will add a second invocation of ninja, no point in having the
detection code twice.
This changes the exit code in case ninja isn't found from 125 to 127, which
seems more appropriate given the justification for returning 125 (to make git
bisect run skip that commit). If we can't find ninja we'll not succeed in
other commits either.
A subsequent commit will do a bit more during test data loading, making a
dedicated function seem advisable.
The diff looks a bit odd, using git show --diff-algorithm=patience
will make it clearer.
The returned GResource is transfer-none, since the generated function
basically calls g_static_resource_get_resource(). It should not be
unreffed. Causes an abort on Debian:
GLib-GIO:ERROR:../../../gio/gresource.c:1451:g_static_resource_fini: assertion failed: (g_atomic_int_get (&resource->ref_count) >= 2)
Currently a cosmetic bug is present: once a build dir was regenerated,
meson would start showing:
User defined options
backend: ninja
This is not true as user have not defined the option, it is default.
Fix this by omitting the `--backend ninja` parameter from "regenerate"
In my tests this does not affect the situation when one specifies
`--backend ninja` explicitly, it still shows the backend as user-defined
after reconfiguration.
Fixes: https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/10632
Meson internally knows about many languages and tools, and *FLAGS
variables, and which languages to use them for. Instead of duplicating
this logic, import it from mesonbuild.*
This logic was originally standalone, but now that it is merged into the
Meson tree we can have a single source of truth.
This can be triggered if someone tries to call a non-ID. The example
reproducer was:
```
if (var = dependency(...)).found()
```
This produced a traceback ending in
```
raise InvalidArguments(f'Variable "{object_name}" is not callable.')
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'object_name' referenced before assignment
```
After this commit, the error is reported as:
```
ERROR: AssignmentNode is not callable.
```
We use `__future__.annotations` to good effect everywhere we can, and
one of the effects of this is that annotations are automatically
stringized and don't need to be evaluated, using less memory and
computation. But this only affects actual annotations -- a cast is just
a function with an argument, so the compiler has no idea that it's an
annotation to be stringized.
Do this manually.
This is supposed to expose all primitives together, but to do that we
need to actually "use" each variable in `__all__`, which we... didn't.
Sorry about that.
We mention --cross-file in the relevant page, but the fact that
--native-file is the command line argument to use is mentioned nowhere
other than a couple of release notes and the --help text for meson
setup.
This should be described in the docs.
Strictly speaking code restructuring isn't needed, but making this PEP8
compliant results in indentation of the code that reduces the
readability. By moving the offending code on the outside of the method
call, the readability is maintained.
What happens is this:
- liba is a convenience static library
- libb is an installed static library
- libb links in liba with --link-whole
- libc links to libb
- we generate a link line with libb *and* liba, even though libb is a
strict superset of liba
This is a bug that has existed since the we stopped using link-whole to
combine convenience libraries, and to instead propagate their
dependencies up. For most linkers this is harmless, if inefficient.
However, for apple's ld64 with the addition calling `ranlib -c`, this
ends up causing multiple copies of symbols to clash (I think that other
linkers recognize that these symbols are the same and combine them), and
linking to fail.
The fix is to stop adding libraries to a target's `link_whole_targets`
when we take its objects instead. This is an all around win since it
fixes this bug, shortens linker command lines, and avoids opening
archives that no new symbols will be found in anyway.
There are two distinct cases here that need to be considered. The first
issue is https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/10723 and
https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/10724, which means that Meson
can't actually generate link-whole arguments with rust targets. The
second is that rlibs are never valid candidates for link-whole anyway.
The promotion happens to work because of another bug in the promotion
path (which is fixed in the next commit).
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
Compiled languages are Meson's bread and butter, but hardly required.
This is convenient, because many test caases specifically, do not care
about testing the compiler interactions.
In such cases, we can skip doing compiler lookups which aren't used, as
they only slow down test setup.
Generally plumb through the values of get_option() passed to
install_dir, and use this to establish the install plan name. Fixes
several odd cases, such as:
- {datadir} being prepended to "share" or "include"
- dissociating custom install directories and writing them out as
{prefix}/share/foo or {prefix}/lib/python3.10/site-packages
This is the second half of #9478Fixes#10601
The name can be None if a library is not passed as a positional
argument, and the name keyword argument is not provided. We shouldn't
allow that to happen.
There are still a lot of errors here due to a mixture of really bad
design (adding extra attributes to objects), and legitimate type errors
(passing a str where a List[str] is expected). I suspect a lot of these
cases aren't hit for some reason.
