Link to feature options consistently, and point out that it controls
"whether" the function finds what it's trying to find. This clues people
in to the fact that disabled features exist.
Claiming that "it should literally never be used ever no matter what" is
confusing and wrong -- it's definitely useful sometimes, but does result
in downsides, like not tracking inter-target dependencies correctly.
Ref: #10901
It is often useful to check the found version of a program without
checking whether you can successfully find
`find_program('foo', required: false, version: '>=XXX')`
This is currently allowed, and is used in at least a few projects. It
was not intended to work or documented, but it does and since it is in
use a full deprecation period must be used. A warning has also been
added for values < 0, which have surprising behavior.
All kwargs inherited from has_header need to be prefixed `header_` so we
cannot just do straight inheritance. And the part of the description
that highlighted the way kwargs are derived and evolved, went entirely
missing.
Fixes#9551
In the refman rewrite, these functions vanished. I noticed this when I
went looking at the docs for extract_all_objects(), or should I say I
tried to go looking.
