Some things, like `method[...](...)` or `x: ... = ...` python 3.5
doesn't support, so I made a comment instead with the intention that it
can someday be made into a real annotation.
In most cases instead pass `for_machine`, the name of the relevant
machines (what compilers target, what targets run on, etc). This allows
us to use the cross code path in the native case, deduplicating the
code.
As one can see, environment got bigger as more information is kept
structured there, while ninjabackend got a smaller. Overall a few amount
of lines were added, but the hope is what's added is a lot simpler than
what's removed.
This function is currently setup with keyword arguments defaulting to
None. However, it is never called without passing all of it's arguments
explicitly, and only one of it's arguments would actually be valid as
None. So just drop that, and make them all positional. And annotate
them.

This isn't safe given the way python implements default arguments.
Basically python store a reference to the instance it was passed, and
then if that argument is not provided it uses the default. That means
that two calls to the same function get the same instance, if one of
them mutates that instance every subsequent call that gets the default
will receive the mutated instance. The idiom to this in python is to use
None and replace the None,
def in(value: str, container: Optional[List[str]]) -> boolean:
return src in (container or [])
if there is no chance of mutation it's less code to use or and take
advantage of None being falsy. If you may want to mutate the value
passed in you need a ternary (this example is stupid):
def add(value: str, container: Optional[List[str]]) -> None:
container = container if container is not None else []
container.append(value)
I've used or everywhere I'm sure that the value will not be mutated by
the function and erred toward caution by using ternaries for the rest.
If find_program() returns a file from the source directory, anything
that uses it should add the file to the dependencies, so that they are
rebuilt whenever the script changes. Generator is not doing that.
While at it, I am doing two related fixes:
- Generator is not checking whther the generator actually was found,
resulting in a Python error involving NoneType if it isn't. To minimize
backwards compatibility issues, I am only raising the error when
g.process() is acutally called.
- the error message for custom_target with a nonexisting program
erroneously mention a not-found external program "nonexistingprogram".
The new error is similar to the one I am adding for generators.
Warn when someone tries to use append() or prepend() on an env var
which already has an operation set on it. People seem to think that
multiple append/prepend operations stack, but they don't.

I'll be using this later, but it seems useful to allow dependencies to
that have special handlers to declare that they depend on other
dependencies. This should allow us to stop treating threads special
internally and just make it a normal dependency.
Since the "-l<lib>" flags in the build.ninja file are passed in
"--start-group"/"--end-group" flags, there should be no need to have any
library listed twice, even if there are circular dependencies. Therefore we
can eliminate duplicates. For speed, rather than deduplicating at the end
of the process, it's faster to not add the duplicate flags in the first
place.
This should help fix#2150
A custom_target, if install is set to true, will always be built by
default even if build_by_default is explicitly set to false.
Ensure that this does not happen if it's set explicitly. To keep
backward compatibility, if build_by_default is not set explicitly and
install is true, set build_by_default to true.
Fixes#4107
Previously, the configuration worked fine, but the compiler raised an
error. Now, we explicitly check for the existence of files and print a
useful error message if they do not exist.
