This is generally a bad idea, e.g. it causes OSError on freebsd.
It also gets ignored by solaris and thus causes unittest failures.
The proper solution is to simply reject any attempt to set this, and log a
warning.
The install_emptydir function does apply the mode as well, and since it
is a directory it actually does something. This is the only place where
we don't reset the mode.
Although install_subdir also installs directories, and in theory it
could set the mode as well, that would be a new feature. Also it doesn't
provide much granularity and has mixed semantics with files. Better to
let people use install_emptydir + install_subdir.
Fixes#5902
Generally plumb through the values of get_option() passed to
install_dir, and use this to establish the install plan name. Fixes
several odd cases, such as:
- {datadir} being prepended to "share" or "include"
- dissociating custom install directories and writing them out as
{prefix}/share/foo or {prefix}/lib/python3.10/site-packages
This is the second half of #9478Fixes#10601
The first test is checking the added support for keys as either `dict`
or `list`.
The second checks that a default value which would otherwise trigger a
value_since check doesn't, and that passing the default value explicitly
does.
Thanks to `ModuleInfo`, all modules are just named `foo.py` instead of
`unstable_foo.py`, which simplifies the import method a bit. This also
allows for accurate FeatureNew/FeatureDeprecated use, as we know when
the module was added and if/when it was stabilized.
This is ambiguous, if the build directory has the same name as a
subcommand then we end up running the subcommand. It also means we have
a hard time adding *new* subcommands, because if it is a popular name of
a build directory then suddenly scripts that try to set up a build
directory end up running a subcommand instead.
The fact that we support this at all is a legacy design. Back in the
day, the "meson" program was for setting up a build directory and all
other tools were their own entry points, e.g. `mesontest` or
`mesonconf`. Then in commit fa278f351f we
migrated to the subcommand mechanism. So, for backwards compatibility,
we made those tools print a warning and then invoke `meson <tool>`. We
also made the `meson` tool default to setup.
However, we only warned for the other tools whose entry points were
eventually deleted. We never warned for setup itself, we just continued
to silently default to setup if no tool was provided.
`meson setup` has worked since 0.42, which is 5 years old this week.
It's available essentially everywhere. No one needs to use the old
backwards-compatible invocation method, but it continues to drag down
our ability to innovate. Let's finally do what we should have done a
long time ago, and sunset it.
Currently, if we run "meson configure -Doption=value", meson will
do a reconfigure when running "ninja build" afterwards, even if
the new value is the same one that was already configured previously.
To avoid this unnecessary reconfigure, let's use replace_if_different()
instead of unconditionally replacing the conf file in coredata's save()
function.
When a subproject is disabled on the initial configuration we should not
add it into self.coredata.initialized_subprojects because that will
prevent calling self.coredata.init_builtins() on a reconfigure if the
subproject gets enabled.

We only want to scan stdout for these strings, and particularly, if we
allow `-d explain` to be mingled into stdout, then buffering issues
across OSes can lead to inaccurate results.
There are a couple issues that combine to make the current handling a
bit confusing.
- we call it "install_dir_name" but it is only ever the class default
- CustomTarget always has it set to None, and then we check if it is
None then create a different variable with a safe fallback. The if is
useless -- it cannot fail, but if it did we'd get an undefined
variable error when we tried to use `dir_name`
Remove the special handling for CustomTarget. Instead, just always
accept None as a possible value of outdir_name when constructing install
data, and, if it is None, fall back to {prefix}/outdir regardless of
what type it used to be.
Fix "Tried to grab file outside current (sub)project" error when subproject exists within
a source tree but it is used through a symlink. Using subprojects as symlinks is very useful
feature when migrating an existing codebase to meson that all sources do not need to be
immediately moved to subprojects folder.
TAP version 14 introduced subtests, that are supposedly backward compatible
because "TAP13 specifies that non-TAP output should be ignored". Meson
reported TAP syntax errors based on behavior of "prove" at the time,
but it seems that now "prove" has become a lot more lenient; it even
accepts the following completely bogus input just fine:
---
ok 1
ok 2
x
1..1
---
So do the same and make Meson's parser accept invalid TAP input silently.
Fixes: #10032
"targetting" is verb-derived adjective, which sort-of-works here, but
makes the whole sentence awkward, because there's no verb. Let's just
use present simple.
Older versions are not supported by the cmake module since 0.62.
This avoids having to hard-code the linux-bionic-gcc CI job as being
unable to run these tests, which leaves other older environments like
Debian 10 still trying to run them (and failing).

This was already skipped when running on the Ubuntu 18.04 version of gcc,
but it also fails with gcc 8.3.0 on Debian 10. Instead of hard-coding
specific versions to look for, do a version comparison.

The new get_env() method that returns an EnvironmentVariables object
will be needed in next commit that will pass it to CustomTarget.
This has the side effect to use the proper os specific path separator
instead of hardcoding `:`. It is the obvious right thing to do here, but
has caused issues in the past. Hopefully issues have been fixed in the
meantime. If not, better deal with fallouts than keep doing the wrong
thing forever.
[why]
Support for the relatively new mold linker is missing. If someone wants
to use mold as linker `LDFLAGS="-B/path/to/mold"` has to be added instead
of the usual `CC_LD=mold meson ...` or `CXX_LD=mold meson ...`.
[how]
Allow `mold' as linker for clang and newer GCC versions (that versions
that have support).
The error message can be a bit off, because it is generic for all GNU
like compilers, but I guess that is ok. (i.e. 'mold' is not listed as
possible linker, even if it would be possible for the given compiler.)
[note]
GCC Version 12.0.1 is not sufficient to say `mold` is supported. The
expected release with support will be 12.1.0.
On the other hand people that use the un-released 12.0.1 will probably
have built it from trunk. Allowing 12.0.1 is helping bleeding edge
developers to use mold in Meson already now.

- Documentation for the pkgconfig.relocatable module option in
Builtin-options. Gives an explanation on what it does, usefulness and
what error that can occur when using it.
- Add pkgconfig.relocatable release snippet. Similar to the
documentation in Builtin-options. Just a bit more brief.
- Add Pkgconfig to DataTests.test_builtin_options_documented in the

Qt now has official guidance for the symlinked names of the tools, which
is great.
Qt now officially calls the tools `fooX` instead of `foo-qtX` where the
major version of Qt is X. Which is not great, because a bit of an
unofficial standard had prior art and now needs to change, and we never
adapted.
Prefer the official name whenever looking up qmake, and in the
testsuite, specifically look only for the official name on versions of
qt which we know should have that.
Tests the two new detection methods for the underscore prefix
against what is detected in the binary. Contrary to the in-the-wild
failures, we can trust the binary here as we do not get any additional
flags that influence the binary contents in this test environment.
Adds a new debug() function that can be used in the meson.build to
log messages to the meson-log.txt that will not be printed to stdout
when configuring the project.
Previously subprojects inherited languages already added by main
project, or any previous subproject. This change to have a list of
compilers per interpreters, which means that if a subproject does not
add 'c' language it won't be able to compile .c files any more, even if
main project added the 'c' language.
This delays processing list of compilers until the interpreter adds the
BuildTarget into its list of targets. That way the interpreter can add
missing languages instead of duplicating that logic into BuildTarget for
the cython case.
If you rely on PKG_CONFIG_PATH to make anything work (like nixos) then
these tests cannot pass without the system values appended to the
override values.
Perhaps when this test case was originally created, project tests could
not use a matrix of options? This is certainly possible today, so don't
write special unittest handling for this instead.
This adds proper visibility into what gets run and what doesn't. Now we
know which python executables got tested and which got skipped.
The regex in question causes Python's regex parser to freeze
indefinitely in certain Python versions. That might be due
to a bug or because the re does infinite backtracking and it just
happened to work on earlier implementations.
This is treated by the test harness as though unset, i.e. we do normal
skipping and don't assume we are running in Meson's own project CI.
However, it has one distinction which is that it isn't an error to set
$CI without setting $MESON_CI_JOBNAME, if it is in fact set but to the
ignored value.
This lets automated workflows such as Linux distro testing, particularly
alpine linux, set $CI or have it set for them by default, without
messing things up.
Also it has the advantage of $CI actually enabling useful benefits! We
will still assume that this thirdparty environment wants to force
verbose logging (printing testlogs, running ninja/samu with -v) and
colorize the console.
The $CI environment variable may be generally set by Github or Gitlab
actions, and is not a reliable indicator of whether we are running "CI".
It could also, for an absolutely random example that didn't *just
happen*, be Alpine Linux's attempt to enable the Meson testsuite in
their packaging, which... uses Gitlab CI.
In this case, we do want to perform normal skipping on not-found
requirements. Instead of checking for $CI, check for $MESON_CI_JOBNAME
as we already use that in all of our own CI jobs for various reasons.
This makes it easier for linux distros to package Meson without
accumulating hacks like "run the testsuite using `env -u CI`".
This bring us in line with Autotools and CMake and it is useful
for platforms like Nix, which install projects
into multiple independent prefixes.
As a consequence, `get_option` might return absolute paths for some
directory options, if a directory outside of prefix is passed.
This is technically a backwards incompatible change but its effect
should be minimal, thanks to widespread use of `join_paths`/`/` operator
and pkg-config generator module. It should only cause an issue when
a path were constructed by concatenating the value of directory path option.
Also remove a comment about commonpath since we do not use that since
<00f5dadd5b>.

This was causing the error:

Fix it by using a set() when generating the list of regen files, and
add a test for it too.
This removes the ability to use ConfigurationData as a dict, but
restricting the inputs to `str | int | bool`. This may be a little too
soon for this, and we may want to wait on that part, it's only bee 8
months since we started warning about this.
