Rust has a `debug_assert!()` macro, which is designed to be toggled on
the command line. It is on by default in debug builds, and off by
default in release builds, in cargo. This matches what meson's b_ndebug
option does in `if-release` mode.
Clippy is a compiler wrapper for rust that provides an extra layer of
linting. It's quite popular, but unfortunately doesn't provide the
output of the compiler that it's wrapping in it's output, so we don't
detect that clippy is rustc. This small patch adds a new compiler class
(that is the Rustc class with a different id) and the necessary logic to
detect that clippy is in fact rustc)
Fixes: #8767
D lang compilers have an option -release (or similar) which turns off
asserts, contracts, and other runtime type checking. This patch wires
that up to the b_ndebug flag.
Fixes#7082
Also add new tests for the platform-specific and compiler-specific
versioning scheme.
A rough summary is:
1. A bug in how run_tests.py:validate_install checked for files has been
fixed. Earlier it wasn't checking the install directory properly.
2. Shared libraries are no longer installed in common tests, and the
library name/path testing is now done in platform-specific tests.
3. Executables are now always called something?exe in the
installed_files.txt file, and the suffix automatically corrected
depending on the platform.
4. If a test installs a file called 'no-installed-files', the installed
files for that test are not validated. This is required to implement
compiler-specific tests for library names/paths such as MSVC vs MinGW
5. The platform-specific file renaming in run_tests.py has been mostly
removed since it is broken for shared libraries and isn't needed for
static libraries.
6. run_tests.py now reports all missing and extra files. The logic for
finding these has been reworked.
