macOS provides the tool `lipo` to check the archs supported by an
object (executable, static library, dylib, etc). This is especially
useful for fat archives, but it also helps with thin archives.
Without this, the linker will fail to link to the library we mistakenly
'found' like so:
ld: warning: ignoring file /path/to/libfoo.a, missing required architecture armv7 in file /path/to/libfoo.a
Instead of only doing a naive filesystem search, also run the linker
so that it can tell us whether the -F path specified actually contains
the framework we're looking for.
Unfortunately, `extraframework` searching is still not 100% correct in
the case when since we want to search in either /Library/Frameworks or
in /System/Library/Frameworks but not in both. The -Z flag disables
searching in those prefixes and would in theory allow this, but then
you cannot force the linker to look in those by manually adding -F
args, so that doesn't work.
Also add a test for it. In the process, also remove an overly-zealous
try..except statement that was catching *all* exceptions, not just
expected ones, which was masking programming errors.
Also ensure that the test's no-pkg-config codepath will always be run,
even on the CI where we always have pkg-config available.
This counts as a test case for #4728
The native file tests were never run on the CI since they were skipped
on Windows and also skipped on Linux and macOS since CC/CXX/etc are
always set by the CI.
Also fix test failure on macOS. The test was assuming that because
/usr/bin/gcc and /usr/bin/clang exist on macOS, they must be different
compilers. They're not. gcc is just a wrapper around clang, and we
correctly detect it as such.
In some cases (see #4817) it's helpful if the output file uses the
same newlines as the input file without translating them to the
platform defaults.
open() by default recognizes all newline styles and translates them
to "\n" and then to the platform default when writing.
Passing "" to "newline" disables the translation and lets us pass through
the original newline characters.
Our builddir ABI is stable across minor (stable) releases, so there is
no need to force a wipe. We already release pretty often, no need to
force people to wipe twice as often.
* Fixed spelling
* Merged the Buildoptions and Projectinfo interpreter
* Moved detect_compilers to Environment
* Added removed test case
* Split detect_compilers and moved even more code into Environment
* Moved set_default_options to coredata
* Small code simplification in mintro.run
* Move cmd_line_options back to `environment`
We don't actually wish to persist something this unstructured, so we
shouldn't make it a field on `coredata`. It would also be data
denormalization since the information we already store in coredata
depends on the CLI args.
The returned not-found object can be from any type because we were
returning the first of the failed attempts. It also can happen that we
don't have any dependency object in which case we should just return
NotFoundDependency() object as well instead of raising an exception.
That exception was happening before, but dependency_impl() was
calling find_external_dependency() in a try block so it was hidden.
