Those tools use our arguments to build a file and execute it to
introspect it at runtime. However, they do not know that you can pass
the full path to the library to use, and ignore the arguments.
The long-term fix for this is to have them output a .c file that Meson
will build for them, which they can then run, but that will require
upstream changes:

Closes https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/3774
All dependencies were using find_library, has_header, get_define, etc on
self.compiler assuming that it's a compiler that outputs and consumes
C-like libraries. This is not true for D (and in the future, for Rust)
since although they can consume C libraries, they do not use the
C ecosystem.
For such purposes, we now have self.clib_compiler. Nothing uses
self.compiler anymore as a result, and it has been removed.
This replaces calls to .rstrip('git'), .rstrip('svn') with a regex that
takes the leading numbers and dots, and throws away the rest. This also
moves the code up to the ConfigToolDepdency level, since these config
tools are of various quality and some of them are good, and some are
not. This shouldn't affect well behaved tools.
This should future proof LLVM against future suffixes (like someone
doing something strange like using Mercurial as a VCS).
Because FreeBSD's llvm-config adds -l/usr/lib/libexecinfo.so when asked
for system-libs, which is bogus. We'll remove the leading -l from any
argument that also ends with .so.
If LLVM is built from a git mirror instead of from SVN it will have
"git-<very short sha>" at the end of the version. We need to remove that
so that version comparison will work correctly.
Fixes: #2786
f.ex when you don't have the llvm-static package installed, the error
message when generating libs is cryptic and uninformative since we
discard stderr.
LLVM >= 3.9 provides an llvm-config that has a sane mechanism for
selecting static vs dynamic linking. LLVM < 3.9 (but >= 3.5) not so
much. For those older LLVM versions, llvm-config will always provide
arguments for statically linking LLVM, even if there is a library for
dynamic linking.
Fixes#2442
This allows the logic in a meson.build file to be simplified (ie, some
dependencies can add the same module requirements) but meson will only
check for them once. Since set is inherently unordered, use sorted to
make the output deterministic.
This class now consolidates a lot of the logic that each external
dependency was duplicating in its class definition.
All external dependencies now set:
* self.version
* self.compile_args and self.link_args
* self.is_found (if found)
* self.sources
* etc
And the abstract ExternalDependency class defines the methods that
will fetch those properties. Some classes still override that for
various reasons, but those should also be migrated to properties as
far as possible.
Next step is to consolidate and standardize the way in which we call
'configuration binaries' such as sdl2-config, llvm-config, pkg-config,
etc. Currently each class has to duplicate code involved with that
even though the format is very similar.
Currently only pkg-config supports multiple version requirements, and
some classes don't even properly check the version requirement. That
will also become easier now.
This commit syncs the list with gnome-builder, which updates its list
in https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=782296.
llvm-config40 is added becaue LLVM 4.0 becomes a stable release.
llvm-config-5.0 is added to the bottom of the list because it is still
a development snapshot (svn trunk).
Use the compiler object to find the gmock library. Fixes following
cases:
- cross compiling looked in host library paths
- static libgmock was not supported
