The linker always args, as the name implies, should always be included. For
example, the AIX get_allow_undefined_link_args are a syntax error unless
the AIX get_linker_always_args are also used.
Meson calls `path/to/clang++ --version` to guess which build toolchain the
user has picked to build the source code. For the Qualcomm LLVM toolchain,
the output have an unusual output as shown below:
```
clang version 8.0.12
Snapdragon LLVM ARM Compiler 8.0.12 (based on llvm.org 7.0+)
Target: arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi
Thread model: posix
Repository: (ssh://git-hexagon-aus.qualcomm.com:...)
InstalledDir: /pkg/qct/software/llvm/release/arm/8.0.12/bin
```
Another unusual pattern is the output of `path/to/ld.qcld --version`:
```
ARM Linker from Snapdragon LLVM ARM Compiler Version 8.0.12
ARM Linker based on LLVM version: 8.0
```
The Meson logic is modified accordingly so that Meson can correctly
determine toolchain as "LLVM aarch64 cross-compiler on GNU/Linux64 OS".
This is the expected output of
`meson --native-file native_file.ini --cross-file cross_file.ini build/aarch64-debug/`:
```
...
C++ compiler for the host machine: ... (clang 8.0.12 "clang version 8.0.12")
C++ linker for the host machine: ... ld.lld 8.0.12
...
```
I made the mistake of always selecting the debug CRT for compiler
checks on Windows 4 years ago:
https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/543https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/614
The idea was to always build the tests with debugging enabled so that
the compiler doesn't optimize the tests away. But we stopped doing
that a while ago, and also the debug CRT has no relation to that.
We should select the CRT in the same way that we do for building
targets: based on the options.
On Windows ARM64, the debug CRT for ARM64 isn't always available, and
the release CRT is available only after installing the runtime
package. Without this, we will always try to pick the debug CRT even
when --buildtype=debugoptimized or release.
Since the CompileArgs class already needs to know about the compiler,
and we really need at least per-lanaguage if not per-compiler
CompilerArgs classes, let's get the CompilerArgs instance from the
compiler using a method.
Causes spammy warnings from the linker:
ld: warning: -headerpad_max_install_names is ignored when used with -bitcode_bundle (Xcode setting ENABLE_BITCODE=YES)
so: when building compile args, meson is deduplicating flags. When a
compiler argument is appended, a later appearance of a dedup'ed is going
to remove a earlier one. If the argument is prepended, the element
*before* the new one is going to be removed. And that is where the
problem reported in https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/7119 is
coming in. In the revision linked there, the order of replacement in the
prepend case was revesered.
With this patch, we restore this behaviour again.
The linker that comes with MSVC does not understand the /openmp flag.
This results in a string of
LINK : warning LNK4044: unrecognized option '/openmp'; ignored
warnings, one for each static_library linked with an executable.
Avoid this by only setting the linker openmp flag when the compiler is
not MSVC.
the previous optimizations from 4524088d38
were not relaly good, and not really scaleable, since only the lookup
was improved. However, the really heavy calls to remove have not been
improved.
With this commit we are refactoring CompilerArgs into a data structure
which does not use remove at all. This works that we are building a pre
and post list, which gets flushed into __container at some point.
However, we build pre and post by deduplicating forward. Later on, when
we are flushing pre and post into __container, we are deduplicating
backwards the list, so we are not changing behaviour here.
This overall cuts off 10s of the efl configuration time. Further more
this improves configure times on arm devices a lot more, since remove
does seem to be a lot slower there. In general this results in the fact
that __iadd__ is not within the top 5 of costly functions in
generate_single_complie.
Simmilar to gcc, the list of pre-processor defines can be fetched with
`-dM -E` option. The way cpu_family is determined on linux relies on
this list.
Fixes incorrect value of cpu_family on linux, when crosscompiling:
```
CC="clang -m32" meson ./build
```

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
has_function() tries to link an example program using the function
to see if it is available, but with clang on 64bit Windows this
example always already failed at the compile step:
error: cast from pointer to smaller type 'long' loses information
long b = (long) a;
This is due to long!=pointer with LLP64
Change from "long" to "long long" which is min 64bit and should always
fit a pointer. While "long long" is strictly a C99 feature every
non super ancient compiler should still support it.
The builtin check had a special case that if a header was provided and
the function wasn't defined, it would ignore the builtin to avoid
non-functional builtins (for example __builtin_posix_memalign in MSYS2).
GCC 10 gained support for __has_builtin() which now skipps this check
and because __has_builtin(__builtin_posix_memalign) returns true the
non functional builtin is now reported as available.
To get the old behaviour back move the special case in front of the actual
availability check.
Fixes#7113
A current rather untyped storage of options is one of the things that
contributes to the options code being so complex. This takes a small
step in synching down by storing the compiler options in dicts per
language.
Future work might be replacing the langauge strings with an enum, and
defaultdict with a custom struct, just like `PerMachine` and
`MachineChoice`.
When doing a compile test with a testfile.c, ccache fails since the path is random.
So it's better to disable it, to avoid reporting this as a cache miss.
