This variant was added to allow introspection before configuring a build
directory. This is useful for IDE integration to allow displaying and/or
setting options for the initial configuration of the build directory.
It also allows showing basic information about the project even if it's
not yet configured or configuring failed.
The project 'name' field in --projectinfo is used inconsistently:
For the top level project it always shows the name configured in
the top level meson.build file. For subprojects it's referring to the
name of the directory the subproject's meson.build is contained in.
To have a consistent output and preserve the existing behavior this adds
the 'descriptive_name' field which always shows the name set in the
project.
To be consistent the 'descriptive_name' field was also added to the
--projectfiles variant that uses an already configured build.
It also extends the information shown with the list of buildsystem-files.
This is currently only implemented in the variant for unconfigured
projects.
Fixed-size hash makes paths shorter and prevents doubling of path length
because of subdir usage in target id: "subdir/id" would generate
"subdir/{subdir-without-slashes}@@id" target otherwise.
Export construct_id_from_path() to aid tests.
Add a separate unit test for this function to make sure it is not broken unexpectedly.
Closes#4226.
this adds support for generating pkgconfig files for c#.
The difference to c and cpp is that the -I flag is not known to the c#
compiler, but rather the -r flag which is used to link a .dll file into
the compiled library.
However this opens the question of validating which pkgconfig files can
be generated (depending on the language).
This implements 4409.

per PEP8, this line requires more indentation to distinguish it from the
following line
Too few arguments for string format. Format "{0} sources specified and

This alert was introduced in f7f439c a year ago
Although `gtkdoc` function has support for `c_args` argument[0], it
produces warning messages due to missing string in the permitted
arguments list.

This allows each implementation (gnu-like) and msvc to be implemented in
their respective classes rather than through an if tree in the CCompiler
class. This is cleaner abstraction and allows us to clean up the Fortran
compiler, which was calling CCompiler bound methods without an instance.
ICC doesn't use the same -fprofile-generate/-fprofile-use that GCC and
Clang use, instead it has -prof-gen and -prof-use. I've gone ahead and
added the threadsafe option to -prof-gen, as meson currently doesn't
have a way to specify that level of granularity and GCC and Clang's
profiles are threadsafe.
Because we need to inherit them in some cases, and python's
keyword-or-positional arguments make this really painful, especially
with inheritance. They do this in two ways:
1) If you want to intercept the arguments you need to check for both a
keyword and a positional argument, because you could get either. Then
you need to make sure that you only pass one of those down to the
next layer.
2) After you do that, if the layer below you decides to do the same
thing, but uses the other form (you used keyword by the lower level
uses positional or vice versa), then you'll get a TypeError since two
layers down got the argument as both a positional and a keyword.
All of this is bad. Fortunately python 3.x provides a mechanism to solve
this, keyword only arguments. These arguments cannot be based
positionally, the interpreter will give us an error in that case.
I have made a best effort to do this correctly, and I've verified it
with GCC, Clang, ICC, and MSVC, but there are other compilers like Arm
and Elbrus that I don't have access to.
