The compilers module is rather large and confusing, with spaghetti
dependencies going every which way. I'm planning to start breaking out
the internal representations into a mixins submodule, for things that
shouldn't be required outside of the compilers module itself.
* correct handling of LDFLAGS in find_library and sanity_check on MSVC (fixes#3629)
The MSVC compiler requires all linker flags to be placed after the compiler flags, separated by a "/link" argument. This was already handled for regular linking commands, but not yet for the aforementioned special code paths.
* on MSVC, add /link separator between compiler and linker flags when it is missing
* avoid unnecessary /link argument
- AttributeError: 'ValaCompiler' object has no attribute 'get_program_dirs'
Fixed by adding a `get_program_dirs()` function to the base Compiler
class, to match `get_library_dirs()`
- KeyError: 'vala_COMPILER'
Fixed by creating the Vala compile rules for all machines, not just
the build machine.
* c_function_attributes: remove 'protected' from 'visibility'
This doesn't exist on macos with the apple compiler, which always causes
failures.
Fixes#5530
* compilers: Add split visibility checks to has_function_attribute
These check for a single visibility at a time, rather than all four at
once. This allows for finer grained searches, and should make using
these checks safer across operating systems.
We were setting the base options for the Objective-C compiler
manually, due to which options such as b_bitcode and b_ndebug were not
getting set at all.
The base options here are the same as for C code with the Clang
compiler, so just use the same inherited list.
Also expand the bitcode test to ObjC and ObjC++ so this doesn't happen
again.
In most cases instead pass `for_machine`, the name of the relevant
machines (what compilers target, what targets run on, etc). This allows
us to use the cross code path in the native case, deduplicating the
code.
As one can see, environment got bigger as more information is kept
structured there, while ninjabackend got a smaller. Overall a few amount
of lines were added, but the hope is what's added is a lot simpler than
what's removed.
It was using ':' as a path separator while GCC uses ';' resulting in bogus
paths being returned. Instead assume that the compiler uses the platform native
separator.
The previous splitting code still worked sometimes because splitting
"C:/foo;C:/bar" resulted in the last part "/bar" being valid if "<DriveOfCWD>:/bar"
existed.
The fix also exposes a clang Windows bug where it uses the wrong separator:
https://reviews.llvm.org/D61121 . Use a regex to fix those first.
This resulted in linker errors when statically linking against a library which
had an external dependency linking against system libs.
Fixes#5386
Apparently we have no tests for this because this is broken pretty
badly. This extends the basic test to actually check for the correct
free-form argument and thus test this.
This avoids the duplication where the option is stored in a dict at its
name, and also contains its own name. In general, the maxim in
programming is things shouldn't know their own name, so removed the name
field just leaving the option's position in the dictionary as its name.
The Intel compiler is strange. On Linux and macOS it's called ICC, and
it tries to mostly behave like gcc/clang. On Windows it's called ICL,
and tries to behave like MSVC. This makes the code that's used to
implement ICC support useless for supporting ICL, because their command
line interfaces are completely different.
This restrictuion exists for MSVC and clang-cl, but not for ICL which
actually does support C++11 as a distinct standard. This commmit pulls
that behavior out into a mixin class for ClangClCPPCompiler and
VisualStudioCPPCompiler, as well as moving the MSVC specific
functionality into the VisualStudioCPPCompiler class.
Currently C++ inherits C, which can lead to diamond problems. By pulling
the code out into a standalone mixin class that the C, C++, ObjC, and
Objc++ compilers can inherit and override as necessary we remove one
source of diamonding. I've chosen to split this out into it's own file
as the CLikeCompiler class is over 1000 lines by itself. This also
breaks the VisualStudio derived classes inheriting from each other, to
avoid the same C -> CPP inheritance problems. This is all one giant
patch because there just isn't a clean way to separate this.
I've done the same for Fortran since it effectively inherits the
CCompiler (I say effectively because was it actually did was gross
beyond explanation), it's probably not correct, but it seems to work for
now. There really is a lot of layering violation going on in the
Compilers, and a really good scrubbing would do this code a lot of good.
Some things, like `method[...](...)` or `x: ... = ...` python 3.5
doesn't support, so I made a comment instead with the intention that it
can someday be made into a real annotation.
