This error message was quite confusing when triggered by
use of an absolute path to the include dir of an external dependency
(numpy in my case). Changing that to a relative dir also isn't
a solution, because Meson will *not* do the "busywork to make paths
work" that the error message says it will.
This is undefined behaviour, and seems to have caused test failures
when backporting Meson to an older toolchain in the Steam Runtime.

We have to handle this, because Windows needs to link to the implib of
the executable (???) in order to create a shared module. This is
explicitly checked for and handled in the backend, and creating a build
target with `link_with: some_exe` still works, even. But updating
declare_dependency to typed_kwargs neglected to take that into account,
so creating a convenience interface for those same arguments failed.
The unit test was racy but surprisingly never failed on CI. The reason
is we need to ensure ninja build somelib.so before running `make` into
the external project.
Dlang uses both integer version "levels" and arbitrary string
identifiers, and we support both, but don't mention it in the docs.
Also update a test case to pass one via declare_dependency. We already
test this kwarg for build_target.
The check for whether or not a file is allowed to be accessed from a
subproject fails if the subproject is accessed via a symlink. Use the
absolute path of the subproject without resolving symlinks to fix the
check.
Extend unit test 106 to check for this in the future.
Regression in commit 7c757dff71.
SubprojectHolder is no longer an ObjectHolder and says so via a TODO:
this means that we have to fiddle with held_object. Yay.
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.
Fixes: #10225.
A single target could be picked for unity build, and in that case
extract_objects() should not be allowed.
Likewise for the opposite case, where extract_objects() should be allowed
if unity build is disabled for a single target. A test that covers that
case is added later.
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.
We validate a few things here, such as the non-presence of '@INPUT' in
an output name. These got moved out of the CustomTarget constructor in
commit 11f9638035 and into KwargInfo, but
only for kwargs that took multiple values. This caused configure_file()
and unstable_rust.bindgen() to stop checking for this.
Add a shared single-output KW and use it in both places. This now
dispatches to _output_validator.
configure_file now validates subdirectories in output names the same way
we do elsewhere, directly in the typed_kwargs and by specifying the
erroring kwarg.
The `install_headers` function now has an optional argument
`preserve_path` that allows installing multi-directory
headerfile structures that live alongside sourcecode with a
single command.
For example, the headerfile structure
headers = [
'one.h',
'two.h',
'alpha/one.h',
'alpha/two.h',
'alpha/three.h'
'beta/one.h'
]
can now be passed to `install_headers(headers, subdir: 'mylib', preserve_path: true)`
and the resulting directory tree will look like
{prefix}
└── include
└── mylib
├── alpha
│ ├── one.h
│ ├── two.h
│ └── three.h
├── beta
│ └── one.h
├── one.h
└── two.h

"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.
"tried to use" implies that the attempt was not successful, i.e. that meson
ignored the feature. But that is not what happens, apart from the warning the
feature works just fine. The new message is also shorter ;)
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).

Otherwise it always returns the value for c++98, starting with MSVC 2017
15.7 or later. Earlier versions are not affected by this mis-feature.

This was originally applied as 0b97d58548
but later reverted because it made the CI red. Try it again, now.

Some projects treat meson.project_source_root() as the root of the
dependency files, because the project itself merely wraps a bunch of
datafiles. Our validation to make sure this doesn't point to another
subproject, made use of pathlib.Path's generator for all component
paths, which... did not include the path itself. So go ahead and
explicitly check that too. Add a test case to verify it while we are at
it.

Test that add_project_dependencies() can only be used before build targets
have been declared. Also test that one cannot use override_dependency
on a superproject to inject a superproject's build products into the
subproject. This would violate the rule that build products cannot be used
with add_project_dependencies() (similar to e.g. compiler.has_function),
so check that meson detects the situation correctly.
This function can be used to add fundamental dependencies such as glib
to all build products in one fell swoop. This can be useful whenever,
due to a project's coding conventions, it is not really possible to
compile any source file without including the dependency.

+ Extend the parser to recognize the multiline f-strings, which the
documentation already implies will work.
The syntax is like:
```
x = 'hello'
y = 'world'
msg = f'''This is a multiline string.
Sending a message: '@x@ @y@'
'''
```
which produces:
```
This is a multiline string.
Sending a message: 'hello world'
```
+ Added some f-string tests cases to "62 string arithmetic" to exercise
the new behavior.
This allows tracking which subproject it came from at the time of
definition, rather than the time of use. As a result, it is no longer
possible for one subproject which knows that another subproject installs
some data files, to expose those data files via its own
declare_dependency.
There are somewhat common, reasonable and legitimate use cases for a
dependency to provide data files installed to /usr which are used as
command inputs. When getting a dependency from a subproject, however,
the attempt to directly construct an input file from a subproject
results in a sandbox violation. This means not all dependencies can be
wrapped as a subproject.
One example is wayland-protocols XML files which get scanned and used to
produce C source files.
Teach Meson to recognize when a string path is the result of fetching a
dep.get_variable(), and special case this to be exempt from subproject
violations.
A requirement of this is that the file must be installed by
install_data() or install_subdir() because otherwise it is not actually
representative of what a pkg-config dependency would provide.
dep.get_variable() only supports string values for pkg-config and
config-tool, because those interfaces use text communication, and
internal variables (from declare_dependency) operate the same way.
CMake had an oddity, where get_variable doesn't document that it allows
list values but apparently it miiiiiight work? Actually getting that
kind of result would be dangerously inconsistent though. Also, CMake
does not support lists so it's a lie. Strings that are *treated* as
lists with `;` splitting don't count...
We could do two things here:
- raise an error
- treat it as a string and return a string
It's not clear what the use case of get_variable() on a maybe-list is,
and should probably be a hard error. But that's controversial, so
instead we just return the original `;`-delimited string. It is probably
the wrong thing, but users are welcome to cope with that somehow on
their own.
Fixes regression in commit c211fea513. The
original dependency lookup looked for `qmake-{self.name}`, i.e.
`qmake-qt5`, but when porting to config-tool, it got switched to
`qmake-{self.qtname}` i.e. `qmake-Qt6`, which was bogus and never
worked. As a result, if `qmake-qt5` and `qmake` both existed, and the
latter was NOT qt5, it would only try the less preferred name, and then
fail.
We need to define self.name early enough to define the configtool names,
which means we need to set it before running the configtool __init__()
even though configtool/pkgconfig would also set it to the same value.
Mark the tests as passing on two distros that were failing to detect
qmake due to this issue, and were marked for skipping because we assumed
that the CI skipping there was an expected case rather than an old
regression.
