By default, meson will try to look for shared libraries first before
static ones. In the meson.build itself, one can use the static keyword
to control if a static library will be tried first but there's no simple
way for an end user performing a build to switch back and forth at will.
Let's cover this usecase by adding an option that allows a user to
specify if they want dependency lookups to try static or shared
libraries first. The writer of the meson.build can manually specify the
static keyword where appropriate which will override the value of this
option.
It is always used as an immutable view so there is no point in doing
copies. However, mypy insist it must implement the same APIs as
Dict[OptionKey, UserOption[Any]] so keep faking it.
Using future annotations, type annotations become strings at runtime and
don't impact performance. This is not possible to do with T.cast though,
because it is a function argument instead of an annotation.
Quote the type argument everywhere in order to have the same effect as
future annotations. This also allows linters to better detect in some
cases that a given import is typing-only.
There's no reason it needs a concrete list, any iterable is fine. This
does mean that we need to explicitly check for `str | bytes` in the
listify pass, as `str` and `bytes` are both iterable.
The tests and the unittests both unconditionally call setup_vsenv()
because all tests are run using the backend commands directly: ninja,
msbuild, etc.
There's no way to undo this vs env setup, so the only way to test that
--vsenv works is by:
1. Removing all paths in PATH that provide ninja
2. Changing setup_vsenv(force=True) to forcibly set-up a new vsenv
when MESON_FORCE_VSENV_FOR_UNITTEST is set
3. Mock-patching build_command, test_command, install_command to use
`meson` instead of `ninja`
4. Asserting that 'Activating VS' is in the output for all commands
5. Ensure that compilation works because ninja is picked up from the
vs env.
I manually checked that this test actually does fail when the previous
commit is reverted.
Visual Studio Express does not come with the
'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.VC.Tools.x86.x64' workload.
This adds a check for the 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.WDExpress'
workload. Non-express versions take precedence over express versions
when activating.
Removed errant "type: ignore".
Fixed issue with "fetch" call. This issue was the following:
Dict::get() and Dict::pop() have the following signature:
T.Callable[[_T, _U], _U | None] OR T.Callable[[_T], _U | None]
Note how the return type is _U here. When the fetch() function was
actually being called, it had the following signature:
T.Callable[[_T, T.List[_U]], T.Union[T.List[_U], _U]]
This is incompatible with the previous definitions. The solution is
simply to move where the default value is introduced if fetch() produces
None.
Since we scan all dependencies for build-only RPATHs now (which are
removed on install), we must take care not to add build-only RPATHs
pointing to directories that dependencies explicitly add -Wl,-rpath
link args for, otherwise the paths will get wiped on install.

When installing with 'meson install --quiet' I'd get the following output:
This file does not have an rpath.
This file does not have a runpath.
(It turns out that of the couple hundred of binaries that are installed,
this message was generated for /usr/lib/systemd/boot/efi/linuxx64.elf.stub.)
There doesn't seem to be any good reason for this output by default. But those
functions can still be used for debugging. Under a debugger, returning the
string is just as useful as printing it, but more flexible. So let's suppress
printing of anything by default, but keep the extractor functions.
The code was somewhat inconsistent wrt. to when .decode() was done. But it
seems that we'll get can expect a decodable text string in all cases, so
just call .decode() everywhere, because it's nicer to print decoded strings.
We could have an OptionOverrideProxy of an OptionOverrideProxy,
recursively. This fix is a minimal subset of the refactoring I did in
https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/9394. Instead of faking
UserOption we can just do a shallow copy of one and set a new value on
it.

NamedTemporaryFile can't be opened by name on Windows.
For Windows the created temporary bat file is now closed before
passing to a subprocess, prevented from removal automatically upon
close and deleted explicitly upon finish.
The `except` line was missing its `as e` clause.
As a result, when erroring out, after not finding a compiler, Meson
gives an error ending:
```
File "C:\Users\Matthew\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python39\site-packages\mesonbuild\mesonlib\vsenv.py",
line 100, in setup_vsenv
mlog.warning('Failed to activate VS environment:', str(e))
```
Allow using the links method to test that the C++ driver (e.g. g++) can be used to
link C objects. One usecase is that the C compiler's libsanitizer might not be
compatible with the one included by the C++ driver.
This is theoretically backwards-incompatible, but it should be treated as a
bugfix in my opinion. There is no way in Meson to compile a .c file with the
C++ driver as part of a build target, therefore there would be no reason to
do something like meson.get_compiler(meson.get_compiler('cpp').links(files('main.c')).

This simplifies things for us, as we don't have to have threading
imported for no other reason, and we can remove the
`an_unpicklable_object` from the Interpreter and mesonlib, since there
was only one user of this.
We have a lot of these. Some of them are harmless, if unidiomatic, such
as `if (condition)`, others are potentially dangerous `assert(...)`, as
`assert(condtion)` works as expected, but `assert(condition, message)`
will result in an assertion that never triggers, as what you're actually
asserting is `bool(tuple[2])`, which will always be true.
This is really, really, annoying. What we really want is (psuedocode):
```python
class SubValues(TypedDict[str, str], total=False):
@INPUT@: T.List[str]
@OUTPUT@: T.List[str]
```
Which would specifiy that `@INPUT@` and `@OUTPUT@` *may* be present and
if they are, then they are lists. There may be additional keys, which
have a single string as a value. Of course there is currently no way to
do that with typing, so we have to instead take a union type and then
use asserts to help the type checker unerstand this.

get_compiler_for_source and classify_unity_sources are both wrong, in
that they expect to be given a seqence of strings, but they really
should take a `Sequence[str | File]`.
Additionally, they're using `CompilerType`, which we don't need anymore,
and should stop using, most methods for the Compiler are actually
defined in the base compiler class.
"meson setup" is resolving symlinks for the build directory in
validate_core_dirs. For consistency with it, do the same when
the build directory is passed via -C to devenv, dist, init, install
and test.
This ensures for example that the path to test dependencies is
computed correctly in "meson test".
