Currently we manually pass the argparse action, this isn't very DRY,
since the builtin_types already has all the data necessary to find that.
This adds a new function to determine the action based on the default
type.
Since we want to make the options passed to `meson` and `meson
configure` equivalent, we need to allows pass -D<lang>_args and
-D<lang>_link_args to `meson`. This path assumes that if one is set then
the other must be, which isn't true.
GCC does not print a warning or error for unknown options if the options
are to disable warnings. Therefore, when checking for options starting
'-Wno-', also check the opposite enabling option. This fixes the case
where e.g. -Wno-implicit-fallthrough is incorrectly reported as supported
by gcc 5.4. To avoid missed warnings when using combinations of flags, such
as in test case "112 has arg", we limit the checking of for the positive
option to where the negative option is checked alone.
This patch exploits the information residing in ltversion to set the
-compatibility_version and -current_version flags that are passed to the
linker on macOS.
GNU LD does not use soname when linking a PE/COFF binary, so it makes no
difference, but it breaks when using the llvm linker (lld), which does
not support the soname flag when building PE/COFF binaries for Windows.
Fix#3179
This way they override all other arguments. This matches the order of
link arguments too.
Note that this means -I flags will come in afterwards and not override
anything else, but this is correct since that's how toolchain paths
work normally too -- they are searched last.
Closes https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/3089
Otherwise we can't do the following workflow:
if not find_program('foo', required : false).found()
subproject('provides-foo')
endif
Where 'provides-foo' has a meson.override_find_program() on
a configure_file() or similar.
The linkers currently do not support ninja compatible output of
dependencies used while linking. Try to guess which files will be used
while linking in python code and generate conservative dependencies to
ensure changes in linked libraries are detected.
This generates dependencies on the best match for static and shared
linking, but this should not be a problem, except for spurious
rebuilding when only one of them changes, which should not be a problem.
Also makes sure to ignore any libraries generated inside the build, to
keep the optimisation working where changes in a shared library only
cause relink if the symbols have changed as well.
Previously pkg-config files generated by the pkgconfig modules for static libraries
with dependencies could only be used in a dependencies with `static: true`.
This was caused by the dependencies only appearing in Libs.private even
if they are needed in the default linking mode. But a user of a
dependency should not have to know if the default linking mode is static
or dynamic; A dependency('somelib') call should always pull in all
needed pieces into the build.
Now for meson build static libraries passed via `libraries` to the generate
method automatically promote dependencies to public.
This caching is only for a single run, so it doesn't help reconfigure.
However, it is useful for subproject setups where different subprojects
will run the same compiler checks.
The cache is also per compiler instance and is not used for functions
that want to read or run the outputted object file or binary.
For gst-build, this halves the number of compiler checks that are run
and reduces configuration time by 20%.
