Which allow passing arguments specifically to the static or shared
libraries.
For design, this is all handled in the interpreter, by the build layer
the arguments are combined into the existing fields. This limits changes
required in the mid and backend layers
This also moves the repacking into the interpreter, making the build
implementation simpler and removing a layering violation. This also
makes use a defaultdict to remove the need to call `.get()`
Way back in Meson 0.25, support was added to `vala_args` for Files.
Strangely, this was never added to any other language, though it's been
discussed before. For type safety, it makes more sense to handle this in
the interpreter level, and pass only strings into the build IR.
This is accomplished by adding a `depend_files` field to the
`BuildTarget` class (which is not exposed to the user), and adding the
depend files into that field, while converting the arguments to relative
string paths. This ensures both the proper build dependencies happen, as
well as that the arguments are always strings.
This differentiates export_dynamic being explicitly set to False from it
being unset. This allows us to deprecate explicitly setting
export_dynamic to false, but setting implib. This is already the case in
the other direction, if implib is False but export_dynamic is enabled
then we get a hard error.
This also moves the validation up to the Interpreter and out of the
build level.
Allow macro_name to be speficied as a parameter to configure_file().
This allows C macro-style include guards to be added to
configure_file()'s output when a template file is not given. This change
simplifies the creation of configure files that define macros with
dynamic names and want the C-style include guards.
Also move it into the Jar class. This is an exclusive Jar keyword
argument, and is only used inside java paths, so there's no reason to
have this in all build targets.
This detects cases where module A imports a function from B, and C
imports that same function from A instead of B. It's not part of the API
contract of A, and causes innocent refactoring to break things.
