Android requires shared modules that use symbols from other shared
modules to be linked before they can be dlopen()ed in the correct
order. Not doing so leads to a missing symbol error:
https://github.com/android/ndk/issues/201
We need to always allow linking for this. Also add a soname, although
it's not confirmed that it's needed, and it doesn't really hurt if it
isn't needed.
For static library crates that depend on other internal static library
crates, all link_with targets get promoted to link_whole targets. Due to
a bug, only link_with targets are considered when generating a Rust
target for the ninja backend. This made it impossible to link a Rust
static library with another internal Rust static library.
This change fixes that issue by chaining link_whole_targets with
link_targets, just like many other languages within the ninja backend.
This was a nice idea in theory, but in practice it had various problems:
- On the only platform where ldconfig is expected to be run, it is
really slow, even when the user uses a non-default prefix and ldconfig
doesn't even have permission to run, nor can do anything useful due to
ld.so.conf state
- On FreeBSD, it bricked the system: #9592
- On cross builds, it should not be used and broke installing, because
ldconfig may not be runnable without binfmt + qemu: #9707
- it prints weird and confusing errors in the common "custom prefix"
layout: #9241
Some of these problems can be or have been fixed. But it's a constant
source of footguns and complaints and for something that was originally
supposed to be just "it's the right thing to do anyway, so just do it
automatically" it is entirely too risky.
Ultimately I do not think there is justification for keeping this
feature in since it doesn't actually make everyone happy. Better for
users to decide whether they need this themselves.
This is anyways the case for cmake and autotools and generally any other
build system, so it should not be too intimidating...

Store in TestSerialisation whether a particular test must always be logged
verbosely. This is particularly useful for long-running tests or when a
single Meson test() is wrapping an external test harness. In this case,
TAP can be used by the external harness and Meson will log each subtest as
it runs.

Basically the last thing we did during target processing was to generate
shlib symlinks for e.g. libfoo.so -> libfoo.so.1.
In some cases we would dispatch to another function and return early,
though, which meant we never got far enough to generate the symlinks.
This then led to breakage when people tried to compile against libfoo.so
This surely breaks -uninstalled.pc usage, and also caused problems in
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/90260
For example:
```
meson builddir \
--native-file vs2019-paths.txt \
--native-file vs2019-win-x64.txt \
--cross-file vs2019-paths.txt \
--cross-file vs2019-win-arm64.txt
```
This was causing the error:
> ERROR: Multiple producers for Ninja target "/path/to/vs2019-paths.txt". Please rename your targets.
Fix it by using a set() when generating the list of regen files, and
add a test for it too.
When a custom_target() uses an env, meson uses a wrapper
script to run the executable. This breaks the console: kwarg
because the wrapper script buffers the output. Fix it by setting
the verbose flag which will not buffer output.
In some cases, init variables that accept None as a sentinel and
immediately overwrite with [], are migrated to dataclass field
factories. \o/
Note: dataclasses by default cannot provide eq methods, as they then
become unhashable. In the future we may wish to opt into declaring them
frozen, instead/additionally.
Names used in init functions are sometimes pointlessly different from
the class instance attributes they are immediately assigned to. They
would make more sense if defined properly.
Since we scan all dependencies for build-only RPATHs now (which are
removed on install), we must take care not to add build-only RPATHs
pointing to directories that dependencies explicitly add -Wl,-rpath
link args for, otherwise the paths will get wiped on install.
Caught by LinuxlikeTests::test_usage_pkgconfig_prefixes
If a pkg-config dependency has multiple libraries in it, which is the
most common case when it has a Requires: directive, or when it has
multiple -l args in Libs: (rare), then we don't add -Wl,-rpath
directives to it when linking.
The existing test wasn't catching it because it was linking to
a pkgconfig file with a single library in it. Update the test to
demonstrate this.
This function was originally added for shared libraries in the source
directory, which explains the name:
https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/2397
However, since now it is also used for linking to *all* non-system
shared libraries that we link to with absolute paths:
https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/3092
But that PR is incomplete / wrong, because only adding RPATHs for
dependencies that specify a single library, which is simply
inconsistent. Things will work for some dependencies and not work for
others, with no logical reason for it.
We should add RPATHs for *all* libraries. There are no special length
limits for RPATHs that I can find.
For ELF, DT_RPATH or DT_RUNPATH are used, which are just stored in
a string table (DT_STRTAB). The maximum length is only a problem when
editing pre-existing tags.
For Mach-O, each RPATH is stored in a separate LC_RPATH entry so there
are no length issues there either.

Meson was passing only the first output and warning about it. To do this
easily, refactor construct_target_rel_path to return a list.

For libraries installed to libdir, it's not expected to have rpath
hooked up. But for non-default libdirs, the path might not get searched
by default. `ldconfig -m <libdir>` is convenient here, as it will
programmatically add a new directory to search for shared libraries, so
the resulting installed programs work out of the box.
Include the dragonfly BSD platform name, which doesn't match the 'bsd'
catch-all pattern.
Emit a detailed deprecation warning that explains what to do instead.
Also add a unittest.
```
DEPRECATION: target prog links against shared module mymod, which is incorrect.
This will be an error in the future, so please use shared_library() for mymod instead.
If shared_module() was used for mymod because it has references to undefined symbols,
use shared_libary() with `override_options: ['b_lundef=false']` instead.
```

This previously worked because we were accidentally doing this via
mutation. However, doing this via mutation is not a good way to do it,
we should be explicit.

in case of backend is vs2017 or vs2019 place LanguageStandard tag with stdcpp version and LanguageStandard_C tag with stdc version in .vcxproj file
We say:
> If version 4.2 or higher of the first is found, targets coverage-text,
> coverage-xml, coverage-sonarqube and coverage-html are generated.
But this is totally untrue. Make it true, by actually checking (and
not generating broken coverage commands when older versions of gcovr are
found).
Fixes#9505
Since they will never be used outside of the build directory, they do
not need to literally contain the .o files, and references will be
sufficient.
This covers a major use of object libraries, which is that the static
library would potentially take up a lot of space by including another
copy of every .o file.
Fixes#9292Fixes#8057Fixes#2129
This replaces the absolute hack of using
```
install_subdir('nonexisting', install_dir: 'share')
```
which requires you to make sure you don't accidentally or deliberately
have a completely different directory with the same name in your source
tree that is full of files you don't want installed. It also avoids
splitting the name in two and listing them in the wrong order.
You can also set the install mode of each directory component by listing
them one at a time in order, and in fact create nested structures at
all.

UseMultiToolTask allows parallelism inside a project, without requiring cl.exe
internal multi-threading (which meson generated projects currently can't use,
mainly due to specifying output filenames for each object).
