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.
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.
install_scripts used to replace @BUILD_ROOT@ and @SOURCE_ROOT@ but it
was not documented and got removed in Meson 0.58.0. gnome.gtkdoc() was
relying on that behaviour, but it has always been broken in the case the
source or build directory contains spaces.
Fix this by changing get_include_args() to substitue paths directly
which will then get escaped correctly.
Add a unit test that builds GObject documentation which is where this
issue has been spotted.
Fixes: #8744
With this change File objects created with the builtin files() function
can be used with the fs submodule like normal strings.
All methods that seem reasonable support FileOrSting arguments.
For example fs.exists() still only takes str arguments because meson
already ensures that File objects do exist when creating them with files().
Each user facing function of the fs module has an additional FeatureNew
check when used with File objects.
The test cases for fs are extended appropriately with tests for File objects.
This is just forcing the usage of -include as c_args, even though this
particular case can happen easily when this is provided via a dependency
cflags.
We also ensure that both the headers are included by using locale
definitions.
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.
Some variables are reserved because meson set them automatically. But we
are not setting them for dataonly pc files, so there is no reason to
reserve them.
Fixes: #8583.
Currently the Qt Dependencies still use the old "combined" method for
dependencies with multiple ways to be found. This is problematic as it
means that `get_variable()` and friends don't work, as the dependency
can't implement any of those methods. The correct solution is to make
use of multiple Dependency instances, and a factory to tie them
together. This does that.
To handle QMake, I've leveraged the existing config-tool mechanism,
which allows us to save a good deal of code, and use well tested code
instead of rolling more of our own code.
The one thing this doesn't do, but we probably should, is expose the
macOS ExtraFrameworks directly, instead of forcing them to be found
through QMake. That is a problem for another series, and someone who
cares more about macOS than I do.
