Although it's not especially common, there are certainly cases where it's
useful to pass the path to an external program to a test program.

Test '230 external project' uses make, but is too dumb to use the
platform conventions for shared library names in installed files
expected by shared_lib, so special case that.
For other reasons, Meson transforms "-Wno-x" into "-Wx -Wno-x" for GCC,
but this breaks with "-Wno-attributes=x" with:
```
cc1plus: error: arguments ignored for '-Wattributes='; use '-Wno-attributes=' instead
```
Suppress that workaround for -Wno-attributes=.

Revert "interpreter: when overriding a dependency make its name match"
This reverts commit b1340e9bb1.
Revert "dependency: define equality and hash operators for Dependency"
This reverts commit 6d713e40f8.
This caused some projects to fail to build, such as libplacebo and
libepoxy. Taking libplacebo as the example, the produced build.ninja
does not include libvulkan.so as a linker input for
src/libplacebo.so.338.
We are probably getting dependency hashing wrong somewhere. Unsure where
exactly and unsure how to create a test case. We are also deep into rc2.
Revert it for now and try to re-land these changes for 1.6.

This reverts commit 9f02d0a3e5.
It turns out that this does introduce a behavioral change in existing
users of ConfigurationData, which it wasn't supposed to (it was supposed
to preserve behavior there, and add a new *warning* for
EnvironmentVariables).
This breaks projects such as pulseaudio, libvirt, and probably more.
Roll back the change and try again after 1.5.0 is released.
Fixes: #13372
* Ensure private directory exists for custom targets
Some custom target commands will expect the `@PRIVATE_DIR@` to already exist, such as with `make -C @PRIVATE_DIR@ ...`
* Prefer `exist_ok` over catching exception
When trying to get the version of a program, meson was previously
hardcoded to run the binary with `--version`. This does work with the
vast majority of programs, but there are a few outliers (e.g. ffmpeg)
which have an unusual argument for printing out the version. Support
these programs by introducing a version_argument kwarg in find_program
which allows users to override `--version` with whatever the custom
argument for printing the version may be for the program.
When configuring a 'meson' or 'cmake@' style file,
add a case for escaped variables using matched pairs of
`\@` i.e. `\@foo\@ -> @foo@`.
The match for @var@ has been amended with a negative lookbehind
to ensure that any occurrances of `\@foo@` are not evaluated to
`\bar`.
The previous behaviour, matching `\@` and escaping only that character,
had undesirable side effects including mangling valid perl when
configuring files.
Closes: https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/7165
Only Environment and ConfigurationData are mutable. However, only
ConfigurationData becomes immutable after first use which is
inconsistent.
This deprecates modification after first use of Environment object and
clarify documentation.
Otherwise internal dependencies have auto-generated names that are not
human readable. Instead, use the name that the dependency overrides. For
example:
```meson
meson.override_dependency('zlib', declare_dependency())
dep_zlib = dependency('zlib')
assert(dep_zlib.name() == 'zlib')
```

musl 1.2.5 exposes this symbol in the default profile, and in future
will expose it unconditionally, as it is on track to becoming part of
POSIX.
So rather than maintaining a list of systems to run this on, let's
just skip testing the feature test macro if we find ppoll in the
default profile.
This code cleverly tried to use a fancy new pathlib.Path method to get
the os.path.commonpath of two paths and check whether one is inside the
other. It failed pretty badly, because of a hidden secret of pathlib: it
is designed to throw random exceptions at all times (except when
building os.PathLike interfaces) instead of performing useful work.
Return to `os.path`.
In particular, before this change, we wanted to check if files are NOT
in a subpath of `preserve_path_from`, and raise a meson "ERROR: xxx" in
such a case. However, the code to check for it would raise a python
ValueError if that was the case, so we never got to the properly
formatted error.
Apple Clang defaults to C++03 or earlier, and boost 1.84 has started
requiring C++11 as a minimum. Fixes test failures on the macOS builders.
Unneeded for GCC systems since GCC defaults to a more recent std -- but
also semantically correct there too.
This patch adds 'depends' keyword to compiler.preprocess().
It allows to execute other targets before doing the preprocessing.
Test-case is added to demonstrate that functionality: it
generates the header before preprocessing the C source that
uses that generated header.
Thanks to @bruchar1 for getting this patch to work.
This replaces all of the Apache blurbs at the start of each file with an
`# SPDX-License-Identifier: Apache-2.0` string. It also fixes existing
uses to be consistent in capitalization, and to be placed above any
copyright notices.
This removes nearly 3000 lines of boilerplate from the project (only
python files), which no developer cares to look at.
SPDX is in common use, particularly in the Linux kernel, and is the
recommended format for Meson's own `project(license: )` field
The new linker in Sonoma / Xcode 15 considers the dependency via the
initializer sufficient to pull in the library. The man page now notes:
The linker never dead strips initialization and termination routines.
They are considered "roots" of the dead strip graph.
I could not find a good way to skip only if the linker version is new
enough. Before long everyone will be using the new linker anyway...
This is needed now that str.format() is not allowing it any more. It is
also more consistent with other objects that have that method as well,
such as build targets.

* unity builds: correct integer ceiling division
* edge case failure with unity builds:
- static archive bar that gets installed, that links with another static
archive foo that does not get installed
- the number of files in static archive foo is divisible by unity_size
would yield an error with ninja:
ninja: error: 'subprojects/foo/src/libfoo.a.p/meson-generated_foo-unity1.cpp.o', needed by 'src/libbar.a', missing and no known rule to make it
* unity builds: test for build failure when #files is divisible by unity_size
has_function_attribute() depends on -Wattributes being emitted when an attribute
is not supported by the compiler. In case of GCC on Window (at least) there is no
warning in case the attribute is used on a declaration. Only once there is also a
function definition does it emit a warning like:
a.c: In function ‘foo’:
a.c:8:1: warning: visibility attribute not supported in this configuration; ignored [-Wattributes]
8 | }
To fix this add a dummy function definition to all visibility compiler checks in meson.
The tests in "197 function attributes" only checked for positive return result on on-msvc
compilers, except one special case for dllexport/dllimport. Refactor the tests a bit so
one can specify also a negative expected result, and add tests for all visibility attribute
variants.
Which allow passing arguments specifically to the static or shared
libraries.
For design, this is all handled in the interpreter, by the build layer
the arguments are combined into the existing fields. This limits changes
required in the mid and backend layers
This should be an error, not an assert as it asserts nothing,
in fact, if this wouldn't error out because of the wrong type
passed to the assert, it would even do the wrong thing.
