os.path.commonpath was added in Python 3.5, so just write our own for
now. pathlib was added in Python 3.4, so this should be ok. We need to
use that instead of doing str.split() etc because Windows path handling
has a lot of exceptions and pathlib handles all that for us.
Also adds a unit test for this.
At the same time, also fix the order in which compile arguments are
added. Detailed comments have been added concerning the priority and
order of the arguments.
Also adds a unit test and an integration test for the same.
Also add a test() that can be run on all platforms.
Currently unit tests are only run on Linux, so this was only testing the
Ninja backend. This change reveals that build-by-default was broken with
the Visual Studio backend.
The purpose of this class is to make it possible to sanely generate
compiler command-lines by ensuring that new arguments appended or added
to a list of arguments properly override previous arguments.
For instance:
>>> a = CompilerArgs(['-Lfoo', '-DBAR'])
>>> a += ['-Lgah', '-DTAZ']
>>> print(a)
['-Lgah', '-Lfoo', '-DBAR', '-DTAZ']
Arguments will be de-duped if it is safe to do so. Currently, this is
only done for -I and -L arguments (previous occurances are removed when
a new one is added) and arguments that once added cannot be overriden
such as -pipe are removed completely.
With the 'install_mode' kwarg, you can now specify the file and
directory permissions and the owner and the group to be used while
installing. You can pass either:
* A single string specifying just the permissions
* A list of strings with:
- The first argument a string of permissions
- The second argument a string specifying the owner or
an int specifying the uid
- The third argument a string specifying the group or
an int specifying the gid
Specifying `false` as any of the arguments skips setting that one.
The format of the permissions kwarg is the same as the symbolic
notation used by ls -l with the first character that specifies 'd',
'-', 'c', etc for the file type omitted since that is always obvious
from the context.
Includes unit tests for the same. Sadly these only run on Linux right
now, but we want them to run on all platforms. We do set the mode in the
integration tests for all platforms but we don't check if they were
actually set correctly.
With the exception of things like sysconfdir (/etc), every other
installation directory option must be inside the prefix.
Also move the prefix checks to coredata.py since prefix can also be set
from inside project() with default_options and via mesonconf. Earlier
you could set prefix to a relative path that way.
This also allows us to return consistent values for get_option('xxxdir')
regardless of whether relative paths are passed or absolute paths are
passed while setting options on the command-line, via mesonconf, or via
default_options in project(). Now the returned path will *always* be
relative to the prefix.
Includes a unit test for this, and a failing test.
Closes#1299
Compiler versions 15.0 and later actually ignore invalid values for the
-std= option unless `-diag-error 10159` is passed, so we need to put
that in the unit test.
I have tested this with versions 14.0.3, 15.0.6, 16.0.4, and 17.0.1.
Would be great if someone could test with 13.x.y
'-w' in c_command will check for it as a substring, which will also
match '-wd', etc. So match it with quotes. This won't give us false
positives, but might give us false negatives in case the argument is not
quoted, but that's better behaviour for a test.
The alternative is to split the string command, but the command does not
necessarily obey shell quoting rules, so we cannot reliably use
shlex.split().
This approach is locale-independent and more correct. For instance, this
will work with UTF-16 while the previous approach with binary comparison
would not.
This also removes the need for doing an explicit decode to utf-8 which
is lossy and can fail by yielding no output at all.
We want compiler check arguments (-O0, -fpermissive, etc) to override
all other arguments, and we want extra_args passed in by the build file
to always override everything.
To do this properly, we must split include arguments out, append them
first, append all other arguments as usual, and then append the rest.
As part of this, we also add the compiler check flags to the
cc.compiles() and cc.links() helper functions since they also most
likely need them.
Also includes a unit test for all this.
This can only be done as a unit test because it requires changes to the
environment. This also means we need to pass the current environment to
subprocess.check_output, which we should always do anyway since the
environment is torn down and restored between each test.
