It's fairly common on Linux and *BSD platforms to check for these
attributes existence, so it makes sense to me to have this checking
build into meson itself. Autotools also has a builtin for handling
these, and by building them in we can short circuit cases that we know
that these don't exist (MSVC).
Additionally this adds support for two common MSVC __declspec
attributes, dllimport and dllexport. This implements the declspec
version (even though GCC has an __attribute__ version that both it and
clang support), since GCC and Clang support the MSVC version as well.
Thus it seems reasonable to assume that most projects will use the
__declspec version over teh __attribute__ version.
We now use the soversion to set compatibility_version and
current_version by default. This is the only sane thing we can do by
default because of the restrictions on the values that can be used for
compatibility and current version.
Users can override this value with the `darwin_versions:` kwarg, which
can be a single value or a two-element list of values. The first one
is the compatibility version and the second is the current version.

fixes#4032: meson now checks properly for the compiler used to compile dub dependencies
fixes#3568: applied the following patch https://paste.debian.net/1039317/
meson now adds flags for native dependencies required by dub modules
meson now checks for the D version implemented by the compiler used to build dub dependencies (execpt gdc which doesn't support this)
* The current version matching logic is brittle
with respect to Clang. LLVM and Apple Clang use
slightly different but nowadays overlapping
version ranges. Instead, we now just check whether
the compiler supports the given `-std=` variant
and try its respective fallback instead of
testing version ranges.
* Currently, RPATHs coming from dependencies and
`build_rpath` provided by the user might contain
the same path. Apple's `install_name` tool is
allergic to providing the same argument twice
when removing RPATHs:
error: install_name_tool: "-delete_rpath /usr/lib" specified more than once
Treat it the same as -lfoo by deduping and adding to --start/end-group

We don't do any advanced transformation for MSVC or de-dup because
this is a very rare syntax.
Add a keyword argument to to_native() to operate on a copy so that we
can call it multiple times instead of modifying the original compiler
args while iterating.
This is used in the unit test, and might be used in Meson at some
point too.
- For optimization=s add /O1: Use Maximum Optimization (Favor Size),
and remove /Os as it's implied by /O1.
- Because we add /O1, this implies /Gy, i.e. Function-Level Linking, so
unused code can be omitted.
- Add /Gw: Optimize Global Data, so unused data can be omitted.
With buildtype=minsize on x86 this reduces the size of a statically
linked Vala compiler binary from 5 MB down to just 1.87 MB.
This means that we will take into account all the flags set in the
cross file when fetching the list of library dirs, which means we
won't incorrectly look for 64-bit libraries when building for 32-bit.

* GCC 4.8 and Clang 3.2, 3.3, 3.4 only understand
`-std={c,gnu}++1y` for enabling C++14 dialects.
GCC 4.8 is especially important as it is the basis
of RHEL/CentOS 7.
* get_library_naming: Use templates instead of suffix/prefix pairs
This commit does not change functionality, and merely sets the
groundwork for a more flexibly naming implementation.
* find_library: Fix manual searching on OpenBSD
On OpenBSD, shared libraries are called libfoo.so.X.Y where X is the
major version and Y is the minor version. We were assuming that it's
libfoo.so and not finding shared libraries at all while doing manual
searching, which meant we'd link statically instead.
See: https://www.openbsd.org/faq/ports/specialtopics.html#SharedLibs
Now we use file globbing to do searching, and pick the first one
that's a real file.
Closes https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/3844
* find_library: Fix priority of library search in OpenBSD
Also add unit tests for the library naming function so that it's
absolutely clear what the priority list of naming is.
Testing is done with mocking on Linux to ensure that local testing
is easy
We used to immediately try to use whatever exe_wrapper was defined in
the cross file, but some people generate the cross file once and use
it for several projects, most of which do not even need an exe wrapper
to build.
Now we're a bit more resilient. We quietly fall back to using
non-exe-wrapper paths for compiler checks and skip the sanity check.
However, if some code needs the exe wrapper, f.ex., if you run a built
executable using custom_target() or run_target(), we will error out
during setup.
Tests will, of course, continue to error out when you run them if the
exe wrapper was not found. We don't want people's tests to silently
"pass" (aka skip) because of a bad CI setup.
Closes https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/3562
This commit also adds a test for the behaviour of exe_wrapper in these
cases, and refactors the unit tests a bit for it.
We already have code to fetch and find binaries specified in a cross
file, so use the same code for exe_wrapper. This allows us to handle
the same corner-cases that were fixed for other cross binaries.

everything else.

Paths provided to us by the user or by pkg-config can be (and must be)
assumed to be usable since they might not be usable standalone.
Closes https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/3832
Rather than storing in the cache of search paths the full list returned
from the compiler and having each call ignore the non-existent ones, remove
from the list all non-existent ones before returning to the caching function.
When find_library is used to find dependencies, meson checks all paths for
libraries with all prefixes that could match. This means that when we are
compiling with -m32 on a 64-bit system, meson will find 64-bit libraries and
assumes that they will work. Naturally that is not the case.
The obvious fix is to do a test link against those libraries, but the extra
wrinkle here is that we need to do a "whole link" so as to test the static
libs. A check with gcc+ld on linux shows that unless there are unresolved
symbols from the main.c file, the static library is never checked so we avoid
the error from an incompatible library.
