This makes use of the new convertor and validator arguments, so that we
can check that the languages passed are in fact vaild, and then convert
the native boolean into a MachineChoice internally.
Custom objects returned by modules must be subclass of ModuleObject and
have the state argument in its methods.
Add MutableModuleObject base class for objects that needs to be deep
copied on assignation.
This is so dumb, we can just insert C for you without you having to know
that you're using C under the hood. This is nicer because:
1) Meson doesn't make the user add a language they're not explicitly
using
2) If there was ever an implementaiton of Vala that didn't use C as
it's assembly language, this wouldn't make any sense.
The build level shouldn't be deal with interpreter objects, by the time
they leave the intpreter they should be in the Meson middle layer
representaiton
We need to konw on rconfigure which options have already bee set not
just for the super project, but also for the subproject. However, using
first_invocation is not sufficient, as a reconfigure could add a new
subpproject that wasn't present before, and we need to initialize that
project's builtins.
Meson used to prepend '|' for each nested subproject to distinguish in
the logs where a subproject start and ends. It is more useful to print
the current subproject name.
Also print the call stack when starting a new subproject to better see
which subproject chain leads to to.
Dependencies is already a large and complicated package without adding
programs to the list. This also allows us to untangle a bit of spaghetti
that we have.
get_non_matching_default_options is checking a string from
project_default_options against a validated value from
coredata.options.
Passing the string to validate_value ensures that the comparison
is sound; otherwise, "false" might be compared against False
and a bogus difference is printed.
All changes were created by running
"pyupgrade --py3-only --keep-percent-format"
and committing the results. I have not touched string formatting for
now.
- use set literals
- simplify .format() parameter naming
- remove __future__
- remove default "r" mode for open()
- use OSError rather than compatibility aliases
- remove stray parentheses in function(generator) scopes
- ModuleState is now a real class that will have methods in the future
for actions modules needs, instead of using interpreter internal API.
- New ModuleObject base class, similar to InterpreterObject, that should
be used by all objects returned by modules. Its methods gets the
ModuleState passed as first argument. It has a `methods` dictionary to
define what is public API that can be called from build definition.
- Method return value is not required to be a ModuleReturnValue any
more, it can be any type that interpreter can holderify, including
ModuleObject.
- Legacy module API is maintained until we port all modules.
In the future modules should be updated:
- Use methods dict.
- Remove snippets.
- Custom objects returned by modules should all be subclass of
ModuleObject to get the state iface in their methods.
- Modules should never call into interpreter directly and instead state
object should have wrapper API.
- Stop using ModuleReturnValue in methods that just return simple
objects like strings. Possibly remove ModuleReturnValue completely
since all objects that needs to be processed by interpreter (e.g.
CustomTarget) should be created through ModuleState API.
Rather than having to manually build the locale aware man paths with
`install_data('foo.fr.1', install_dir: join_paths(get_option('mandir'), 'fr', 'man1'), rename: 'foo.1')`
Support doing
`install_man('foo.fr.1', locale: 'fr')`
