with msys ncurses-config returns a unix style path (currently, though
it's been fixed upstream), which the compilers don't understand, so we
can't do that. Additionally, while the system search does work, there's
missing include directories that need to be added.
On win32 there is pdcurses, so we detect it first, because python
depends on ncursesw, so if we don't want to use ncursesw, we should make
sure pdcurses detect before ncursesw
has_header returns a tuple of (found: bool, cached: bool), so `if
has_header` will always return true because the tuple is non-empty. We
need to check if the found value is true or not.
- Fixed using debug and optimization built-in options in MSVC.
- Fixed that VS backend does not create pdb files in release mode.
VS implicitly adds the debug fields if left out.
- Fix that it is possible to add debug info with ninja backend with
optimizations.
When building with vs2019 (not ninja), a path length error will be thrown
if the path to a resource file is even remotely deep within the tree.
This is largely because the target name includes the string "Windows
resource for file 'full path'", which is then expanded twice (once for
the .vcxproj itself, and once for IntDir) and added to the full path.
When combined with the tiny path limits on Windows, it is easy to exceed
path limits.
This error is largely avoided by the ninja back-end. Unlike the
vs back-end, the ninja back-end does not use target.get_id() as part of
the project file path, nor does it use target.get_id() as part of
get_target_private_dir().

Instead of the default ones, this is especially important when cross
compiling or when using compilers that aren't compatible with the
default ones.

mypy noticed that we were passing [] (instead of a dict or None) to the
ClangCompiler class in objc, which made me noticed that for C and C++ we
set the defines, but not for ObjC and ObjC++
We do this by making the mixins inherit the Compiler class only when
mypy is examining the code (using some clever inheritance shenanigans).
This caught a bunch of issues, and also lets us delete a ton of code.
Every class needs to set this, so it should be part of the base. For
classes that require is_cross, the positional argument remains in their
signature. For those that don't, they just allow the base class to set
their value to it's default of False.
Currently we do some crazy hackery where we add extra properties to a
Popen object and return that. That's crazy. Especially since some of our
hackery is to delete attributes off of the Popen we don't want. Instead,
let's just have a discrete type that has exactly the properties we want.
Those function are common source of issue when used in a subproject because they
point to the parent project root which is rarely what is expected and is a
violation of subproject isolation.
