We need to escape space in variables that gets into cflags or libs
because otherwise we cannot split compiler args when paths contains
spaces. But custom variables are unlikely to be path that gets used in
cflags/libs, and escaping them cause regression in GStreamer that use
space as separator in a list variable.
This fix a regression introduced in Meson 0.56.0 when using python 3.5.
Also mention in documentation that using a meson dict does not guarantee
ordering.
Fixes: #8074.
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
[why]
Sometimes one want to set the 'Conflicts:' field in .pc files.
This is possible by using the 'conflicts' keyword argument in the
pkgconfig module. The feature is not documented on mesonbuild.org,
though.
But a warning is issued:
WARNING: Passed invalid keyword argument "conflicts".
WARNING: This will become a hard error in the future.
History:
It has been added along with kwarg 'url' with commit
309041918 pkgconfig: Add missing 'URL' and 'Conflicts' entries
Later the kwargs check has been introduced with
80d665e8d Converted some modules.
but both 'url' and 'conflicts' were missing.
With commit
2acf737b pkgconfig: Document url keyword
the 'url' kwarg has been added to the checks, but not 'conflicts'.
[how]
Add 'conflicts' to the allowed kwargs.

This allows users to disable writing out the inbuilt variables to
the pkg-config file as they might actualy not be required.
One reason to have this is for architecture-independent pkg-config
files in projects which also have architecture-dependent outputs.
For example : https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/weston/issues/269Fixes#4011
The documentation for this change was left out of its implementation in
commit b4aee4675a and was later documented
in commit f831c05b55 as if it had always
existed.
- Add libraries from InternalDependency.libraries
- Deprecate association of libraries from the "libraries" keyword
argument to the generated pkg-config file.
Almost every keyword documented here takes this form:
- `foo` bar
with no comma after the keyword. Make `filebase` consistent, and fix a
comma splice.
Fix 'Arbitraty' typo in `libraries` documentation.
Usage:
pkgconfig.generate(
...
description : 'A library with custom variables.',
variables : ['foo=bar', 'datadir=${prefix}/data']
)
The variables 'prefix', 'libdir' and 'includedir' are reserved, meson will
fail with an error message.
Variables can reference each other with the pkgconfig notation, e.g.
variables : ['datadir=${prefix}/data',
'otherdatadir=${datadir}/other']
meson does not check this for correctness or that the referenced variable
exists, we merely keep the same order as specified.
This allows us to more easily have the documentation in sync with
the source code as people will have to document new features etc
right at the time where they implement it.
