First, I noticed there was a dangling use of now-removed cross_info in
the CMake lookup. No tests had caught this, but it means that CMake deps
were totally broken. [It also meant that CMake could not be specified
from a native file.]
In a previous of mine PR which removed cross_info, I overhauled finding
pkg-config a bit so that the native and cross paths were shared. I
noticed that the CMake code greatly resembled the pkg-config code, so I
set about fixing it to match.
I then realized I could refactor things further, separating caching,
finding alternatives, and validating them, while also making the
validations less duplicated. So I ended up changing pkg config lookup a
lot too (and CMake again, to keep matching).
Overall, I think I have the proper ideom for tool lookup now, repated in
two places. I think it would make sense next to share this logic between
these two, compilers, static linkers, and any other tool similarly
specifiable. Either the `BinaryTable` class in environment.py, or a new
class for `Compiler` and friends to subclass, would be good candidates
for this.
Previously, the default option string was compared to the actual project
option that has been converted to the proper type. This lead to messages
like 'Option x is: true [default: true]'.
Fixes#4806.
In some cases (see #4817) it's helpful if the output file uses the
same newlines as the input file without translating them to the
platform defaults.
open() by default recognizes all newline styles and translates them
to "\n" and then to the platform default when writing.
Passing "" to "newline" disables the translation and lets us pass through
the original newline characters.
In recent change, dependency('foo') does not return a not-found
PkgConfigDependency any more, but a NotFoundDependency object. This
creates a regression in gst-build that does
dependency('foo').get_partial_dependency() causing Meson to raise an
exception.
Our builddir ABI is stable across minor (stable) releases, so there is
no need to force a wipe. We already release pretty often, no need to
force people to wipe twice as often.
The current node is useful to pass as location kwarg to mlog.warning().
The node is not passed to InterpreterObject method arguments, and it's
easier to have it on the object than passing it through argument
everywhere.
