PR #3717 imports ARMCLANG compilers in __init__, but does not add them to
__all__, so they are not re-exported by the compilers package like
everything else.

Suggest seting flake8 as a pre-commit hook
We now pass the current subproject to every FeatureNew and
FeatureDeprecated call. This requires a bunch of rework to:
1. Ensure that we have access to the subproject in the list of
arguments when used as a decorator (see _get_callee_args).
2. Pass the subproject to .use() when it's called manually.
3. We also can't do feature checks for new features in
meson_options.txt because that's parsed before we know the
meson_version from project()
Those tools use our arguments to build a file and execute it to
introspect it at runtime. However, they do not know that you can pass
the full path to the library to use, and ignore the arguments.
The long-term fix for this is to have them output a .c file that Meson
will build for them, which they can then run, but that will require
upstream changes:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk-doc/merge_requests/1
Closes https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/3774
When an older version of the library being built is installed in the
same prefix as external dependencies, we have to be careful to construct
the linker or compiler command line. If a -L flag from external
dependencoes comes before a -L flag pointing to builddir, it is possible
for the linker to load older libraries from the installation prefix
instead of the newly built ones, which is likely to cause undefined
reference error.
Since the order of dependencies is not significant, we cannot expect
internal dependencies to appear before external dependencies when
recursively iterating the list of dependencies. To make it harder to
make mistakes, linker flags come from internal and external
dependencies are now stored in different order sets. Code using
_get_dependencies_flags are expected to follow the order when
constructing linker command line:
1. Internal linker flags
2. LDFLAGS set by users
3. External linker flags
It is similar to what automake and libtool do for autotools projects.
A number of cases have to be taken care of while doing this, so
refactor it into a helper on ExternalProgram and use it everywhere.
1. Command is a list of len > 1, use it as-is
2. Command is a list of len == 1 (or a string), use as a string
3. If command is an absolute path, use it as-is
4. If command is not an absolute path, search for it
* Add a test case for bad de-dup of -framework args
https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/3800
* pkgconfig: Don't naively de-dup all arguments
Honestly don't know what I was smoking. Of course the `Libs:` field in
a pkg-config file can have arguments other than -l and -L
Closes https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/3800
* pkgconfig module: Fix needlessly aggressive de-dup
All dependencies were using find_library, has_header, get_define, etc on
self.compiler assuming that it's a compiler that outputs and consumes
C-like libraries. This is not true for D (and in the future, for Rust)
since although they can consume C libraries, they do not use the
C ecosystem.
For such purposes, we now have self.clib_compiler. Nothing uses
self.compiler anymore as a result, and it has been removed.
In GLib when running "ninja gio-doc" without doing a full build first,
it won't build libraries and the generated gio-scan.c gets linked
against system libgio instead.
This fix 2 bugs: gtkdoc() was not passing 'depends' variable down to
_get_dependencies_flags(), and many places had 'if depends' which is
False when 'depends' is an empty list and not only when it's None. There
is no reason for that argument to be optional, we always want to collect
dependencies.
When using binutils's windres, we can instruct it to invoke the preprocessor
in such a way that it writes a depfile, so that dependencies on #included
files are automatically tracked.
Not implemented for MSVC tools, so skip testing it in that case.
Expose depend_files: from the custom_target this creates.
This is the change suggested in #2815, with tests and documentation added.
Fixes#2789 (duplicate #2830)
We were setting it to a file list that would always be wrong, and
always out of date since it would never exist.
However, the output list is not predictable. It usually has a 1-1
relationship with the input XML files, but it may not.
This must be fixed later with API for users to provide the output
names.
See: https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/3539
If we pass a source files() object, we will look for it in the build
directory, which is wrong. If we pass a build files() object (from
configure_file()), we will find it in the build directory, and then
try to copy it on top of itself in gtkdochelper.py getting a
SameFileError.
Add a test for it, and also properly iterate custom target outputs
when adding to content files.
The fix has landed upstream, and will be in the next glib stable
release. I have verified that it fixes the problem described in #3488
and that the 'frameworks/7 gnome' test passes now.
The new --body and --header args are broken because they do not allow
the use of --output-directory to set the correct `#include "foo.h"`
line in `foo.c`. The changes in the gdbus test case show this.
Disabled till this can be fixed in glib.

pypy installations don't usuallyy ship with pkg-config files,
we thus need to replicate what their version of distutils does.
In addition, we also try our best to build against other
pythons that do not have pkg-config files.
Libraries that have been linked with link_whole: are internal
implementation details and should never be exposed to the outside
world in either Libs: or Libs.private:
Closes https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/3509
What is actually defined here varies wildly on different python-versions
for different platforms.
On my python2.7 on Windows len(sysconfig.get_config_vars()) returns 17,
whereas in my Ubuntu that number is 517!
Hence it is useful to be able to check which keys are available, as
well as allowing specifying a default option.
