This saves on a 1500-line import at startup and may be skipped entirely
if no compiled languages are used. In exchange, we move the
implementation to a new file that is imported instead.
Followup to commit ab20eb5bbc.
We don't need a CMakeInterpreter until and unless we actually attempt to
use a cmake subproject via the cmake module.
Minus 10 files and 3679 lines of code imported at startup.
This lessens the amount of code imported at Meson startup by mapping
each dependency to a dictionary entry and using a programmable import to
dynamically return it.
Minus 16 files and 6399 lines of code imported at startup.
We expose detect.py as the mesonbuild.dependencies entrypoint and import
it upfront everywhere. But unless the `dependency()` function is
actually invoked, we don't need *any* of the private implementations for
this.
Avoid doing so until, as part of actual dependency lookup, we attempt
that specific dependency method. This avoids importing big modules if
`method:` is specified, and in most cases hopefully pkg-config works and
we can avoid importing the cmake implementation particularly.
Actually avoiding most of these imports requires more refactoring. But
even so, the garden path no longer needs to import the dub dependency
impl.
When meson is installed as editable, setuptools adds
`__editable___meson_1_0_99_finder` to the list. This contains the string
"meson" which isn't really accurate to what we want, which is modules
that are part of the `mesonbuild.*` namespace.
If py2 is not found *and* the compiler is MSVC, we didn't take into
account that py2 is not found. This also meant that we didn't take into
account the expected count when it *is* found, because the python module
has a better finder than just "is the binary on PATH".
This is a pretty common pattern in python (the standard library uses it
a ton): A class is created, with a single private instance in the
module, and then it's methods are exposed as public API. This removes
the need for the global statement, and is generally a little easier to
reason about thanks to encapsulation.
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.
- add `extra_paths` to intro-tests.json to know paths needed to run a
test on Windows;
- add `depends` to alias targets in intro-targets.json to know what
targets does an alias point to;
- add `depends` to intro-dependencies.json to know libraries linked with
an internal dependency;
- renamed `deps` to `dependencies` in `intro-dependencies.json` for more
uniformity.
The stdlib unittest module has a magic flag (undocumented) which
indicates that a module is part of a unittest framework.
> Truncates usercode tb at the first unittest frame.
>
> If the first frame of the traceback is in user code,
> the prefix up to the first unittest frame is returned.
> If the first frame is already in the unittest module,
> the traceback is not modified.
This avoids some ugliness, e.g. the following test error logs:
```
> self.assertPathListEqual(intro[0]['install_filename'], ['/usr/lib/libstat.aaa'])
unittests/allplatformstests.py:432:
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
unittests/baseplatformtests.py:393: in assertPathListEqual
self.assertPathEqual(i[0], i[1])
unittests/baseplatformtests.py:384: in assertPathEqual
self.assertEqual(PurePath(path1), PurePath(path2))
E AssertionError: PurePosixPath('/usr/lib/libstat.a') != PurePosixPath('/usr/lib/libstat.aaa')
```
Since assertPathListEqual is our own assertion helper, we don't need to
give trace information about its internals. This change causes the error
log to become:
```
> self.assertPathListEqual(intro[0]['install_filename'], ['/usr/lib/libstat.aaa'])
E AssertionError: PurePosixPath('/usr/lib/libstat.a') != PurePosixPath('/usr/lib/libstat.aaa')
unittests/allplatformstests.py:432: AssertionError
```
which is a lot more readable.
msys2 is broken only on clang, due to -Werror issues in the python
headers as patched by msys2.
MSVC is simply weird... due to the use of an unversioned platlib/purelib
directory, the python2 and python3 components overlap.
To take good decisions we'll need to know if we are a Rust library which
is only know after processing source files and compilers.
Note that is it not the final list of compilers, some can be added in
process_compilers_late(), but those are compilers for which we don't
have source files any way.
Case 1:
- Prog links to static lib A
- A link_whole to static lib B
- B link to static lib C
- Prog dependencies should be A and C but not B which is already
included in A.
Case 2:
- Same as case 1, but with A being installed.
- To be useful, A must also include all objects from C that is not
installed.
- Prog only need to link on A.
MIPS64 can run MIPS32 code natively, so there is a chance that a mixture
of MIPS64 kernel and MIPS32 userland exists. Before this Meson just
treats such mixture as mips64, because uname -m returns mips64.
So in this case we have to check compiler builtin defines for actual
architecture and CPU in use.
- Also fixes mips64 related detection tests in internaltests:
Normalize mips64 as mips first, then if __mips64 is defined, return
mips64 for mips64* machines.
This is a bit confiusing because normally one would detect if a flag
of 32-bit target is defined while running on a 64-bit machine. For
mips64 it is almost just the other way around - we need to detect if
__mips64 is set to make sure it is a mips64 environment.

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.
The paths in meson.build use / as path separator, however, the paths
constructed during the directory structure walk use native path
separators, thus the path never compare equal to the excluded ones.
Normalize the exclusion paths before the comparison.
Also prevent from using a parent directory as builddir by mistake.

- MesonException for errors is clearer than SystemExit('error message')
and provides meson-formatted "ERROR: ..."
- `raise SystemExit` with no parameter isn't obvious that it intends to
exit successfully
While clarifying the latter, it was observed to cause
test_preprocessor_checks_CPPFLAGS() failure to be ignored. That test
checks get_define() on both c and cpp compilers, which means we need to
define either CPPFLAGS or both CFLAGS+CXXFLAGS.
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.
Fixes: #11176
CI runs with vs2019 and we were passing --backend=vs. This fix
reconfigure tests because we can't reconfigure with --backend=vs when
initial configuration determined the backend is actually vs2019.
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 was added in f774609 to only change the access time of the
coredata file if the coredata struct actually changed. However,
this doesn't work as pickle serializations aren't guaranteed to
be stable. Instead, let's manually check if options have changed
values and skip the save if they haven't changed.
We also extend the associated unit test to cover all the option
types and to ensure that configure does get executed if one of the
options changes value.
This test checks that rpaths are stripped correctly when their prefix
matches the source directory.
This test fails without the previous commit:

These are necessary for projects outside Meson itself that want to
extend the 'meson install' functionality as meson-python does to
assemble Python package wheels from Meson projects.
Fixes#11426.
We do not need the python module's find_installation() for this, as this
does various things to set up building and installing python modules
(pure python and C-API). This functionality is already tested in the
python tests.
Elsewhere, when we just need an interpreter capable of running python
scripts in order to guarantee a useful scripting language for custom
commands, it suffices to use find_program(), which does not run an
introspection script or do module imports, and is thus faster and
a bit cleaner.
Either way, both methods are guaranteed to find the python3 interpreter,
deferring to mesonlib.python_command for that guarantee.
test "71 summary" can sometimes return the python command with the
".exe" part all uppercased for mysterious Windows reasons. Smooth this
over with ExternalProgram.
This method allows meson.build to introspect on the changed options.
It works by merely exposing the same set of data that is logged by
MesonApp._generate.
Fixes#10898
Now that we don't insert /utf-8 into the always args for MSVC < 19.00
we need to use a version > 19.00 for testing. This also means that
/Zc:__cplusplus will be added to the always args.
