Which adds the `use-set-for-membership` check. It's generally faster in
python to use a set with the `in` keyword, because it's a hash check
instead of a linear walk, this is especially true with strings, where
it's actually O(n^2), one loop over the container, and an inner loop of
the strings (as string comparison works by checking that `a[n] == b[n]`,
in a loop).
Also, I'm tired of complaining about this in reviews, let the tools do
it for me :)
The order of elements in sets cannot be relied upon, because the hash
values are randomized by Python. Whenever sets are converted to lists
we need to keep their order stable, or random changes in the command line
cause ninja to rebuild a lot of files unnecessarily. To stabilize them,
use either sort or OrderedSet. Sorting is not always applicable, but it
can be faster because it's done in C and it can produce slightly nicer
output.
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
In qemu, minikconf generates a depfile that meson could use to
automatically reconfigure on dependency change.
Note: someone clever can perhaps find a way to express this with a
ninja rule & depfile=. I didn't manage, so I wrote a simple depfile
parser.
