D lang compilers have an option -release (or similar) which turns off
asserts, contracts, and other runtime type checking. This patch wires
that up to the b_ndebug flag.
Fixes#7082
The main library must come before extra libraries, because they are
likely to be dependencies of the main library that get promoted from
private to public. This was causing static link issues with glib-2.0.pc.
- Add libraries from InternalDependency.libraries
- Deprecate association of libraries from the "libraries" keyword
argument to the generated pkg-config file.
Previously pkg-config files generated by the pkgconfig modules for static libraries
with dependencies could only be used in a dependencies with `static: true`.
This was caused by the dependencies only appearing in Libs.private even
if they are needed in the default linking mode. But a user of a
dependency should not have to know if the default linking mode is static
or dynamic; A dependency('somelib') call should always pull in all
needed pieces into the build.
Now for meson build static libraries passed via `libraries` to the generate
method automatically promote dependencies to public.
Currently only not found deps implicitly pulled from a Library object
are ignored. We should also ignore not found deps passed directly to
generate() method.
This makes the unit testing more complicated because libfoo pkgconfig
dependency cannot be found when generated from the within the same
meson.build.
