Some variables are reserved because meson set them automatically. But we
are not setting them for dataonly pc files, so there is no reason to
reserve them.
Fixes: #8583.
All changes were created by running
"pyupgrade --py3-only --keep-percent-format"
and committing the results. I have not touched string formatting for
now.
- use set literals
- simplify .format() parameter naming
- remove __future__
- remove default "r" mode for open()
- use OSError rather than compatibility aliases
- remove stray parentheses in function(generator) scopes
Rather than having to manually build the locale aware man paths with
`install_data('foo.fr.1', install_dir: join_paths(get_option('mandir'), 'fr', 'man1'), rename: 'foo.1')`
Support doing
`install_man('foo.fr.1', locale: 'fr')`
Useful in case of boolean values to distinguish between a boolean
value having been set in the native/cross file and not having been
provided, which can't be achieved by passing a fallback parameter
to .get_external_property().
Currently we don't handle things correctly if we get a string we should
split, and the linker and needs compiler arguments. It would result in
two unsplit strings in a list, instead of the split arguments in a list
Fixes: #8348
This is a) useless because it's only used to print which options are not
default, and b) harmful because it can result in cases where things
break, like in projects that set a standard that the chosen compiler
doesn't support, but the project (or some subset) can be built with a
different standard.
Fixes: #8360
run_target() does some variable substitutions since 0.57.0. This is a
new behavior, and undocumented, caused by sharing more code with
custom_target(). More consistency is better, so document it now.
custom_target() was doing variable substitution in the past, because it
shared some code with generator(), but that was undocumented. Some
refactoring in 0.57.0 caused it to not replace @CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR@,
@SOURCE_DIR@, and @BUILD_DIR@ anymore. This patch adds back
@CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR@ and document it. It does not add back @SOURCE_DIR@
because it is duplicate with @SOURCE_ROOT@ that has a better name. Also
do not add back @BUILD_DIR@ which is duplicate of @PRIVATE_DIR@, and
not @BUILD_ROOT@ surprisingly, adding to the confusion.
install_subdir() with a non-existing subdir creates the directory in the
target directory. This seems like an implementation detail but is quite useful
to create new directories for e.g. configuration or plugins in the installed
locations.
git bisect says this started with 8fe8161014.
Let's add a test for it and document it to make this behavior official.
Limitation: it can only create at the install_dir location, trying to create
nested subdirectories does not work and indeed creates the wrong directory
structure. That is a bug that should be fixed separately:
install_subdir('blah',
install_dir: get_option('prefix'))
install_subdir('sub/foobar',
install_dir: get_option('prefix'))
install_subdir('foo/baz',
install_dir: get_option('prefix'))
$ tree ../_inst
../_inst
├── baz
├── blah
└── foobar
Fixes#2904
Re-implement it in backend using the same code path as for
custom_target(). This for example handle setting PATH on Windows when
command is an executable.
Following #7890, this patch introduces the ability to read the contents
of a file to the fs module.
This patch introduces the ability to read files at configure time, but
has some restrictions:
- binary files are not supported (I don't think this will prove a
problem, and if people are wanting to do something with binary
files, they should probably be shelling out to their own script).
- Only files outside the build directory allowed. This limitation
should prevent build loops.
Given that reading an arbitrary file at configure time can affect the
configuration in almost arbitrary ways, meson should force a reconfigure
when the given file changes. This is non-configurable, but this can
easily be changed with a future keyword argument.
This commit fixes the test that asserts on whether the lchmod() function
should have been detected as available by Meson. It does so by assuming
that on Linux systems not using glibc, the function will be available.
- fix comment about lchmod on Linux: musl has implemented the function
correctly since 2013, so the assumption in the test wasn't correct.
Furthermore, musl doesn't use glibc's stub mechanism.
- fix include to receive __GLIBC__ definition: including almost any
header in glibc will end up defining __GLIBC__, since most headers
include <features.h>. The <gnu/libc-version.h> header was probably
chosen because of its name, but its actual purpose is defining functions
for checking glibc version at runtime (instead of what the binary was
built with), so it isn't necessary to use it. Since it is a completely
non standard header, including it makes the test suite fail on musl due
to not finding the header.
On Windows this would fail because of missing DLL:
```
mylib = library(...)
exe = executable(..., link_with: mylib)
meson.add_install_script(exe)
```
The reason is on Windows we cannot rely on rpath to find libraries from
build directory, they are searched in $PATH. We already have all that
mechanism in place for custom_target() using ExecutableSerialisation
class, so reuse it for install/dist/postconf scripts too.
This has bonus side effect to also use exe_wrapper for those scripts.
