When a test fails due to a signal (e.g., SIGSEGV) it can be somewhat
mysterious why the test failed. Also, even when a test fails due to a
non-zero exit status it would help if the exit status was reported. This
augments the result string to include the non-zero exit status or
signal number and name.
Resolves#3642
When the exe runner is `wine` or `wine32` or `wine64`, etc.
This allows people to run tests with wine.
Note that you also have to set WINEPATH to point to your custom
prefix(es) if your tests use external dependencies.
Closes https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/3620
Replace the logic where a test setup with no project specifier defaults to
the main project with one that takes the test setup from the same
(sub)project from where the to-be-executed test has been read from.
Use $project_name:$test_setup namespace scheme for test setups. This
allows one to choose from which (sub)project a test setup is taken from
should there be several sharing the same name. Defaults to the main
project. E.g. "meson test --setup subproj:valgrind".
Setting MALLOC_PERTURB_ to a non-zero value is fine for regular test
cases. It helps catching bugs, but also comes with some runtime
overhead.
This overhead is noticeable for benchmarks when compared to running them
directly instead of through Meason.
Therefore, MALLOC_PERTURB_ is not touched for benchmarks.

According to Python documentation[1] dirname and basename
are defined as follows:
os.path.dirname() = os.path.split()[0]
os.path.basename() = os.path.split()[1]
For the purpose of better readability split() is replaced
by appropriate function if only one part of returned tuple
is used.

When `ninja -C builddir/ test` is run, ninja will change into the build
dir before starting, but `meson test -C builddir/` does not. This is
important because meson does not use (for good reasons) absolute paths,
which means if a test case needs to be passed as an argument a file name
that is part of the build process, it will be relative builddir. Without
changing into the builddir the path will not exist (or worse, point at
the wrong thing), and test will not behave as intended.
To fix this mtest will change directory before starting tests, and will
change back after all tests have been finished.
Fixes#2710
Adding it to the end of PATH means that if an installed instance of a DLL
exists, that would be used instead of the built instance.
Compare with run_exe(), which already gets this right.
Meson has a common pattern of using 'if len(foo) == 0:' or
'if len(foo) != 0:', however, this is a common anti-pattern in python.
Instead tests for emptiness/non-emptiness should be done with a simple
'if foo:' or 'if not foo:'
Consider the following:
>>> import timeit
>>> timeit.timeit('if len([]) == 0: pass')
0.10730923599840025
>>> timeit.timeit('if not []: pass')
0.030033907998586074
>>> timeit.timeit('if len(['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']) == 0: pass')
0.1154778649979562
>>> timeit.timeit("if not ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']: pass")
0.08259823200205574
>>> timeit.timeit('if len("") == 0: pass')
0.089759664999292
>>> timeit.timeit('if not "": pass')
0.02340641999762738
>>> timeit.timeit('if len("foo") == 0: pass')
0.08848102600313723
>>> timeit.timeit('if not "foo": pass')
0.04032287199879647
And for the one additional case of 'if len(foo.strip()) == 0', which can
be replaced with 'if not foo.isspace()'
>>> timeit.timeit('if len(" ".strip()) == 0: pass')
0.15294511600222904
>>> timeit.timeit('if " ".isspace(): pass')
0.09413968399894657
>>> timeit.timeit('if len(" abc".strip()) == 0: pass')
0.2023209120015963
>>> timeit.timeit('if " abc".isspace(): pass')
0.09571301700270851
In other words, it's always a win to not use len(), when you don't
actually want to check the length.
Cygwin executables are still loaded by the Windows PE loader, so PATH needs
to include any extra directories where required DLLs can be found.
Cygwin uses a unix style ':'-separated PATH. os.pathsep is used correctly
on extra_paths in meson_exe.py, but not in mesontest.py
This is especially useful with the glib testing framework where you
can select which tests to run within a single test executable by
pasing `-p /some/test/path`
It would add --args to `wrap` repeatedly for each re-run, resulting in
gdb erroring out with `--args: No such file or directory.`
Also don't make --gdb and --wrapper mutually exclusive. Sometimes people
want to run under a wrapper *and* run it under gdb.
The setup's timeout multiplier will always be set, and it will default
to 1.0, so just use that.
Without this, the setup's timeout multiplier was always ignored.
