The dependency lookup is a lot of complex code. This refactor it all
into a single file/class outside of interpreter main class. This new
design allows adding more fallbacks candidates in the future (e.g. using
cc.find_library()) but does not yet add any extra API.
For qt we already have all of the necissary checking in place. Now in
the interpreter we have the same, the intrperter does all of the
checking, then passed the arguments to the Generator initializer, which
just assigns the passed values. This is nice, neat, and clean and fixes
the layering violatino between build and interpreter.
This makes use of the new convertor and validator arguments, so that we
can check that the languages passed are in fact vaild, and then convert
the native boolean into a MachineChoice internally.
Custom objects returned by modules must be subclass of ModuleObject and
have the state argument in its methods.
Add MutableModuleObject base class for objects that needs to be deep
copied on assignation.
This is so dumb, we can just insert C for you without you having to know
that you're using C under the hood. This is nicer because:
1) Meson doesn't make the user add a language they're not explicitly
using
2) If there was ever an implementaiton of Vala that didn't use C as
it's assembly language, this wouldn't make any sense.
The build level shouldn't be deal with interpreter objects, by the time
they leave the intpreter they should be in the Meson middle layer
representaiton
We need to konw on rconfigure which options have already bee set not
just for the super project, but also for the subproject. However, using
first_invocation is not sufficient, as a reconfigure could add a new
subpproject that wasn't present before, and we need to initialize that
project's builtins.
Meson used to prepend '|' for each nested subproject to distinguish in
the logs where a subproject start and ends. It is more useful to print
the current subproject name.
Also print the call stack when starting a new subproject to better see
which subproject chain leads to to.
Dependencies is already a large and complicated package without adding
programs to the list. This also allows us to untangle a bit of spaghetti
that we have.
get_non_matching_default_options is checking a string from
project_default_options against a validated value from
coredata.options.
Passing the string to validate_value ensures that the comparison
is sound; otherwise, "false" might be compared against False
and a bogus difference is printed.
