The pkg-config dependency class has some interesting logic for finding a
good pkg-config that will be used for dependency lookups. We sometimes
need to use it, though, outside of the class. Make that possible.
We use a dummy project with a vague name and try to find flags for it
based on the installable pkg-config files. This sort of works,
generally, because it attempts to match `-lct` which doesn't exist
because the test case isn't installed, and that link argument is passed
directly through.
Except, sometimes that library does exist. It is provided by the
"freetds" project, which may be a dependency other tools. In that case,
Meson finds a library, and the `dependency()` resolves to
`/usr/lib/libct.so` and the test fails.
Fortunately, we do have an API to say that we really want to get back
the same flags pkg-config returned. Use this.
This removes the need for the use of the global statement. I've also
updated the test that overrides this to use mock.patch instead of hand
monkey patching.
This is wasteful and generally unneeded, since code can just use the
compiler they detected instead of manually poking at the internals of
this subpackage.
It also avoids importing an absolute ton of code the instant one runs
`from . import compilers`
This is generally a bad idea, e.g. it causes OSError on freebsd.
It also gets ignored by solaris and thus causes unittest failures.
The proper solution is to simply reject any attempt to set this, and log a
warning.
The install_emptydir function does apply the mode as well, and since it
is a directory it actually does something. This is the only place where
we don't reset the mode.
Although install_subdir also installs directories, and in theory it
could set the mode as well, that would be a new feature. Also it doesn't
provide much granularity and has mixed semantics with files. Better to
let people use install_emptydir + install_subdir.

This was already skipped when running on the Ubuntu 18.04 version of gcc,
but it also fails with gcc 8.3.0 on Debian 10. Instead of hard-coding
specific versions to look for, do a version comparison.

The new get_env() method that returns an EnvironmentVariables object
will be needed in next commit that will pass it to CustomTarget.
This has the side effect to use the proper os specific path separator
instead of hardcoding `:`. It is the obvious right thing to do here, but
has caused issues in the past. Hopefully issues have been fixed in the
meantime. If not, better deal with fallouts than keep doing the wrong
thing forever.
[why]
Support for the relatively new mold linker is missing. If someone wants
to use mold as linker `LDFLAGS="-B/path/to/mold"` has to be added instead
of the usual `CC_LD=mold meson ...` or `CXX_LD=mold meson ...`.
[how]
Allow `mold' as linker for clang and newer GCC versions (that versions
that have support).
The error message can be a bit off, because it is generic for all GNU
like compilers, but I guess that is ok. (i.e. 'mold' is not listed as
possible linker, even if it would be possible for the given compiler.)
[note]
GCC Version 12.0.1 is not sufficient to say `mold` is supported. The
expected release with support will be 12.1.0.
On the other hand people that use the un-released 12.0.1 will probably
have built it from trunk. Allowing 12.0.1 is helping bleeding edge
developers to use mold in Meson already now.

Qt now has official guidance for the symlinked names of the tools, which
is great.
Qt now officially calls the tools `fooX` instead of `foo-qtX` where the
major version of Qt is X. Which is not great, because a bit of an
unofficial standard had prior art and now needs to change, and we never
adapted.
Prefer the official name whenever looking up qmake, and in the
testsuite, specifically look only for the official name on versions of
qt which we know should have that.
If you rely on PKG_CONFIG_PATH to make anything work (like nixos) then
these tests cannot pass without the system values appended to the
override values.
For example:
```
meson builddir \
--native-file vs2019-paths.txt \
--native-file vs2019-win-x64.txt \
--cross-file vs2019-paths.txt \
--cross-file vs2019-win-arm64.txt
```
This was causing the error:
> ERROR: Multiple producers for Ninja target "/path/to/vs2019-paths.txt". Please rename your targets.
Fix it by using a set() when generating the list of regen files, and
add a test for it too.
This is a layering violation, we're relying on the way the interpreter
handles keyword arguments. Instead, pass them as free variables,
destructuring in the interpreter
Emit a detailed deprecation warning that explains what to do instead.
Also add a unittest.
```
DEPRECATION: target prog links against shared module mymod, which is incorrect.
This will be an error in the future, so please use shared_library() for mymod instead.
If shared_module() was used for mymod because it has references to undefined symbols,
use shared_libary() with `override_options: ['b_lundef=false']` instead.
```

The fix is to not use the tempdir for all tests, but only for tests
that check the mode.
assertTrue and assertFalse are recommended against, if you can get a
more specific assertion. And sometimes it is considerably shorter, for
example we have a custom assertPathExists which we can take advantage
of.
Sometimes, the machine file can include compiler command line options,
in order to pick the correct multilib. For example, Meson uses "$cc
--print-search-dirs" to find the library search path, where $cc is the
cc from the machine file. Because the outputs of "gcc -m32
--print-search-dirs" and "gcc --print-search-dirs" are different, this
only works if you have
[binaries]
cc = ['gcc', '-m32']
in the machine file. Right now, however, the cmake module assumes that
the compiler listed in the machine file is either a compiler, or a
"launcher" followed by the compiler. Check if the second argument
starts with a slash (for Microsoft-like compilers) or a dash (for
everyone else), and if so presume that the CMAKE_*_COMPILER_LAUNCHER
need not be defined.
