The end of the paragraph indicates that the options which support --foo
will be listed in the help text. The beginning of the paragraph seems to
suggest the same thing, except it doesn't distinguish between -Dfoo and
--foo style options.
The first mention is redundant and feels like the wrong part of the
paragraph to mention it anyway.
With the previous commit, we made this smartly detect when parentheses
are not needed. But the example was broken, because it doesn't follow
its own documented rules to use `[[#` syntax. Add the missing hash
character.
If we link to
```meson
[[#function]]('posarg')
```
then the ideal linkification would operate on "function" in the
formatted text:
```
function('posarg')
```
Instead, it operated on "function()" in the formatted text:
```
function()('posarg')
```
Fix this by detecting the next character after the reference, and
skipping the usual "automatically append the () for you" stage if it
already has that opening parenthesis.
The unit test was racy but surprisingly never failed on CI. The reason
is we need to ensure ninja build somelib.so before running `make` into
the external project.
Dlang uses both integer version "levels" and arbitrary string
identifiers, and we support both, but don't mention it in the docs.
Also update a test case to pass one via declare_dependency. We already
test this kwarg for build_target.
The type information is clearly wrong as it disagrees with the
description w.r.t. generated headers.
We also rely on it accepting custom targets for the obvious reason that
we accept it in a build target too! In fact, we rely on this in the
testsuite too.
Merging snippets happens in arbitrary order -- whatever filesystem
globbing results in. This didn't matter too much when we ran it once at
release time and checked the resulting release notes into git. However,
now that we generate a temporary version of the release notes for
development versions, the order of the results will periodically change.
Sort the files before processing them in order to guarantee that
whatever order they are in, they stay that way.
As a side effect, it's now technically possible to guarantee an ordering
by judicious use of snippets naming.
Leak sanitizer can be enabled without the whole AddressSanitizer, this
can be done by passing -fsanitize=leak as documented at [1].
Meson doesn't support this, so add support for it.

Logically, i18n.merge_file cannot ever take a MULTI_OUTPUT_KW, but it
does take a CT_OUTPUT_KW-like interface.
Actually trying to pass multiple merge_file outputs causes the
msgfmthelper script to be entirely malformed in the arguments it
accepts, and treat the broken one like a --flag, then exit with argparse
errors.
Even if we somehow assumed that somehow it was designed to actually
allow this, msgfmt doesn't support conceptually passing multiple outputs
so that would be a msgfmt error instead of an error inside the guts of
`meson --internal msgfmthelper`.
Same logic applies again for the itstool command and the itstool
internal helper.
Catch this error at configuration time by using the single-output kwarg
form.
Likewise, it's totally nonsense to accept multiple install_dir or
install_tags, and ever since commit 11f9638035
the CustomTarget itself won't even check this.
The `install_headers` function now has an optional argument
`preserve_path` that allows installing multi-directory
headerfile structures that live alongside sourcecode with a
single command.
For example, the headerfile structure
headers = [
'one.h',
'two.h',
'alpha/one.h',
'alpha/two.h',
'alpha/three.h'
'beta/one.h'
]
can now be passed to `install_headers(headers, subdir: 'mylib', preserve_path: true)`
and the resulting directory tree will look like
{prefix}
└── include
└── mylib
├── alpha
│ ├── one.h
│ ├── two.h
│ └── three.h
├── beta
│ └── one.h
├── one.h
└── two.h
Fixes#3371
python compiled extensions should never need to expose any symbol other
than PyInit_* which is declared with default visibility via
PyMODINIT_FUNC on supported compilers.
Thus, a reasonably sane default is to mark any other symbols as hidden,
while still respecting any manually specified visibility.
Gate this on the version of python itself, as not all versions decorate
PyMODINIT_FUNC properly.
Otherwise it always returns the value for c++98, starting with MSVC 2017
15.7 or later. Earlier versions are not affected by this mis-feature.
See: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/reference/zc-cplusplus?view=msvc-160
This was originally applied as 0b97d58548
but later reverted because it made the CI red. Try it again, now.

gcovr will read this file anyway, but if it exists we don't need to
assume that the project wishes to exclude subprojects/ -- they can
determine that themselves.

lcov doesn't read the config file by default, but we can do the smart
thing here.
Fixes#4628
By default, meson will try to look for shared libraries first before
static ones. In the meson.build itself, one can use the static keyword
to control if a static library will be tried first but there's no simple
way for an end user performing a build to switch back and forth at will.
Let's cover this usecase by adding an option that allows a user to
specify if they want dependency lookups to try static or shared
libraries first. The writer of the meson.build can manually specify the
static keyword where appropriate which will override the value of this
option.
This function can be used to add fundamental dependencies such as glib
to all build products in one fell swoop. This can be useful whenever,
due to a project's coding conventions, it is not really possible to
compile any source file without including the dependency.

In the original RefMan 2.0 implementation, the types for this were
filled in as `str | file`, but the code only ever accepted the former.
Fix the documentation so that it aligns with reality.
Fixes#10338
+ Extend the parser to recognize the multiline f-strings, which the
documentation already implies will work.
The syntax is like:
```
x = 'hello'
y = 'world'
msg = f'''This is a multiline string.
Sending a message: '@x@ @y@'
'''
```
which produces:
```
This is a multiline string.
Sending a message: 'hello world'
```
+ Added some f-string tests cases to "62 string arithmetic" to exercise
the new behavior.
[why]
Support for the relatively new mold linker is missing. If someone wants
to use mold as linker `LDFLAGS="-B/path/to/mold"` has to be added instead
of the usual `CC_LD=mold meson ...` or `CXX_LD=mold meson ...`.
[how]
Allow `mold' as linker for clang and newer GCC versions (that versions
that have support).
The error message can be a bit off, because it is generic for all GNU
like compilers, but I guess that is ok. (i.e. 'mold' is not listed as
possible linker, even if it would be possible for the given compiler.)
[note]
GCC Version 12.0.1 is not sufficient to say `mold` is supported. The
expected release with support will be 12.1.0.
On the other hand people that use the un-released 12.0.1 will probably
have built it from trunk. Allowing 12.0.1 is helping bleeding edge
developers to use mold in Meson already now.

Nothing elaborate, just laying down the ground rules for expected usage
and pointing out that it now works. The idea is not to give people
ideas, but to let projects which already have this use case, use it with
confidence.
