It can be either:
- boolean: the option is completely deprecated.
- list: some choices are deprecated.
- dict: some choices are deprecated and replaced by another.
Fixes: #7444
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
Currently the former will be parsed as [''], while the latter is parsed
as [] in python. This makes for some obnoxious special handling
depending on what the user passes. This is even more obnoxious since for
string type arguments this doesn't require special handling.
This is a special type of option to be passed to most 'required' keyword
arguments. It adds a 3rd state to the traditional boolean value to cause
those methods to always return not-found even if the dependency could be
found.
Since integrators doesn't want enabled features to be a surprise there
is a global option "auto_features" to enable or disable all
automatic features.
This exposes the already existing UserStringArrayOption class through
the meson_options.txt. The intention is to provide a way for projects to
take list/array type arguments and validate that all of the elements in
that array are valid without using complex looping constructrs.
This allows us to more easily have the documentation in sync with
the source code as people will have to document new features etc
right at the time where they implement it.
