Allow the use of wildcards (e.g. *) to match test names in `meson test`.
Raise an error is given test name does not match any test.
Optimize the search by looping through the list of tests only once.
For all source `*.py` files installed via either py.install_sources() or
an `install_dir: py.get_install_dir()`, produce `*.pyc` files at install
time. Controllable via a module option.
This allows changing the crate name with which a library ends up being
available inside the Rust code, similar to cargo's dependency renaming
feature or `extern crate foo as bar` inside Rust code.
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.
This will help with the writing of tools to generate
VisualStudio project and solution files, and possibly
for other IDEs as well.
- Used compilers a about `host`, `build` and `target` machines
arere listed in `intro-compilers.json`
- Informations lister in `intro-machines.json`
- `intro-dependencies.json` now includes internal dependencies,
and relations between dependencies.
- `intro-targets.json` now includes dependencies, `vs_module_defs`,
`win_subsystem`, and linker parameters.
We will still try to load `meson_options.txt` if `meson.options` doesn't
exist. Because there are some advantages to using `meson.options` even
with older versions of meson (such as better text editor handling)
we will not warn about the existence of a `meson.options` file if a
`meson_options.txt` file or symlink also exists.
The name `meson.options` was picked instead of alternative proposals,
such as `meson_options.build` for a couple of reasons:
1. meson.options is shorter
2. While the syntax is the same, only the `option()` function may be
called in meson.options, while, it may not be called in meson.build
3. While the two files share a syntax and elementary types (strings,
arrays, etc), they have different purposes: `meson.build` declares
build targets, `meson.options` declares options. This is similar to
the difference between C's `.c` and `.h` extensions.
As an implementation detail `Interpreter.option_file` has been removed,
as it is used exactly once, in the `project()` call to read the options,
and we can just calculate it there and not store it.

This allows to run setup command regardless whether the builddir has
been configured or not previously. This is useful for example with
scripts that always repeat all options.
meson setup builddir --reconfigure -Dfoo=bar
It can only be used for projects that don't have any rules at all, i.e.
they are purely using Meson to:
- configure files
- run (script?) tests
- install files that exist by the end of the setup stage
This can be useful e.g. for Meson itself, a pure python project.
This works with pkg-config and cmake without any special support. The
custom factory adds further support for config-tool, via
`pybind11-config`. This is useful because the config-tool will work out
of the box when pybind11 is installed, but the pkg-config and cmake
files are shoved into python's site-packages, which is an unfortunate
distribution model and makes it impossible to use in an out of the box
manner.
It's possible to manually set up the PKG_CONFIG_PATH to detect it
anyway, but in case that does not happen, having the config-tool
fallback is extremely useful.
If the user runs `sudo meson install` this may run ninja to build
everything that gets installed. This naturally happens as root also, by
default, which is bad. Instead, detect root elevation tools and drop the
uid/gid of the child ninja process back to the original invoking user
before doing anything.
There's a couple issues with the current approach:
- pkexec is an unusual elevation method, the standard is sudo
- it tries to elevate even in automated workflows
- the user may not want to automatically rerun as root, that might be
badly behaved
Do some upfront checks instead, first to make sure it even makes sense
to try becoming root, and then to ask the user "do you really want
this". Also check for a couple common approaches to root elevation,
including doas.

This adds two new methods, that are conceptually related in the same way
that `enable_auto_if` and `disable_auto_if` are. They are different
however, in that they will always replace an `auto` value with an
`enabled` or `disabled` value, or error if the feature is in the
opposite state (calling `feature(disabled).enable_if(true)`, for
example). This matters when the feature will be passed to
dependency(required : …)`, which has different behavior when passed an
enabled feature than an auto one.
The `disable_if` method will be controversial, I'm sure, since it
can be expressed via `feature.require()` (`feature.require(not
condition) == feature.disable_if(condition)`). I have two defences of
this:
1) `feature.require` is difficult to reason about, I would expect
require to be equivalent to `feature.enable_if(condition)`, not to
`feature.disable_if(not condition)`.
2) mixing `enable_if` and `disable_if` in the same call chain is much
clearer than mixing `require` and `enable_if`:
```meson
get_option('feat') \
.enable_if(foo) \
.disable_if(bar) \
.enable_if(opt)
```
vs
```meson
get_option('feat') \
.enable_if(foo) \
.require(not bar) \
.enable_if(opt)
```
In the first chain it's immediately obvious what is happening, in the
second, not so much, especially if you're not familiar with what
`require` means.
It's always been strange to me we don't have an opposite method of the
`disable_auto_if` method, but I've been pressed to find a case where we
_need_ one, because `disable_auto_if` can't be logically contorted to
work. I finally found the case where they're not equivalent: when you
don't want to convert to a boolean:
```meson
f = get_option('feat').disable_auto_if(not foo)
g = get_option('feat').enable_auto_if(foo)
dep1 = dependency('foo', required : f)
dep2 = dependency('foo', required : g)
```
Currently Meson allow the following (Muon does not):
```meson
option('foo', type : 'boolean', value : 'true')
option('bar', type : 'integer', value : '42')
```
This is possibly a holdover from very old code, but it's a bad idea and
we should stop doing it. This deprecation is the first stop on that
journey.
It is often more useful to generate shell script than dumping to stdout.
It is also important to be able to select the shell format.
Formats currently implemented:
- sh: Basic VAR=prepend_value:$VAR
- export: Same as 'sh', but also export VAR
- vscode: Same as 'sh', but without substitutions because they don't
seems to work. To be used in launch.json's envFile.
Generated objects can already be passed in the "objects" keyword argument
as long as you go through an extract_objects() indirection. Allow the
same even directly, since that is more intuitive than having to add them
to "sources".

Hook this up to installed dependency manifests. This is often needed
above and beyond just an SPDX string -- e.g. many licenses have custom
copyright lines.
Adds a new maximum warning level that is roughly equivalent to "all warnings".
This adds a way to use `/Wall` with MSVC (without the previous broken warning),
`-Weverything` with clang, and almost all general warnings in GCC with
strictness roughly equivalent to clang's `-Weverything`.
The GCC case must be implemented by meson since GCC doesn't provide a similar
option. To avoid maintenance headaches for meson, this warning level is
defined objectively: all warnings are included except those that require
specific values or are specific to particular language revisions. This warning
level is mainly intended for new code, and it is expected (nearly guaranteed)
that projects will need to add some suppressions to build cleanly with it.
More commonly, it's just a handy way to occasionally take a look at what
warnings are present with some compiler, in case anything interesting shows up
you might want to enable in general.
Since the warnings enabled at this level are inherently unstable with respect
to compiler versions, it is intended for use by developers and not to be set as
the default.
-Wnon-virtual-dtor is not what people think of as a standard warning
flag. It was previously removed from -Wall in
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16190 on the grounds that
people didn't like it and were refusing to use -Wall at all because it
forced this warning. Instead, it is enabled by -Weffc++ which is
typically not enabled and even comes with GCC documentation warnings
stating that the standard library doesn't obey it, and you might need to
`grep -v` and filter out warnings. (!!!)
It doesn't fit into the typical semantics of Meson's warning_level
option, which usually aligns with compiler standard warning levels
rather than a niche ideological warning level.
It was originally added in commit 22af56e05a,
but without any specific rationale included, and has gone unquestioned
since then -- except by the Meson users who see it, assume there is a
finely crafted design behind it, and quietly opt out by rolling their own
warning options with `add_project_arguments('-Wall', ...)`.
Furthermore a GCC component maintainer for the C++ standard library
opened a Meson bug report specially to tell us that this warning flag is
a "dumb option" and "broken by design" and "doesn't warn about the right
thing anyway", thus it should not be used. This is a reasonably
authoritative source that maybe, just maybe, this flag... is too
opinionated to force upon Meson users without recourse. It's gone beyond
opinionated and into the realm of compiler vendors seem to think that
the state of the language would be better if the flag did not exist at
all, whether default or not.
