This causes intermittent build failures in the MSVC CI because of a race
with the default anti-virus that ships with Windows while writing the
.pdb file: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/jpakkane/meson/build/1.0.58
There's a separate fix for that in the works that will fix this in the
general case, but for compiler tests we don't need to generate the pdb
file at all. So, just fetch the CRT flag (/MDd) if needed instead.
This has the side-effect of making compiler tests that use self.links
and self.run faster.
Previously Meson would use the name of the first .vala source file. This
doesn't work for some projects. Tracker is one example: it has
several libraries that mix Vala and C code. In such cases, none of the
.vala files tend to bear the name of the library we actually want to
generate.
This allows the user to specify custom arguments to the compiler to be used
while performing cross-compiler checks. For example, passing a GCC specs file as
c_link_args so that a "prefix" filled with libraries that are to be compiled
against can be found with cc.find_library, or an `-mcpu` c_arg that is required
for compilation.
Also ensure that unix_link_flags_to_native() and unix_compile_flags_to_native()
always return a copy of the original arguments and not a reference to the
original arguments. We never want to modify the original arguments.
This allows defining test suites for test-valgrind target without the risk
of e.g. being unable to differentiate the targets test-valgrind (testing
with valgrind) from test-valgrind (testing the valgrind subproject).
Do not modify the wrap command argument from the calling function.
Appending the valgrind arguments to the wrap list argument will cause all
the valgrind arguments to cumulate from all the tests to the wrapper
command itself.
This is required for checking for compiler checks that involve linking
to a static library with MSVC. Without this, MSVC errors out since no
CRT is specified.
