Releases have been happening an average of once every 90 days for the
past two years (since 0.60.0). If we just look at releases since 1.0.0,
the average is over 100 days.
[why]
On Apple clang 15.0.0 linker (i.e. ld64 1015.7) giving the same rpath
multiple times raises a warning:
ld: warning: duplicate -rpath '/local/lib' ignored
This can frequently happen when linking several dependencies that all
have that rpath in e.g. pkgconfig.
[how]
Deduplicate all rpath arguments.
[note]
I'm not sure how the code handles --start/end-group, but for rpath that
should not make any difference as that is not bound to a group.

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort, we noticed that
meson was generates .pkgconfig files that are not reproducible.
For example, here is neatvnc's pkgconfig file when built with HEAD^1:
Name: neatvnc
Description: A Neat VNC server library
Version: 0.7.0
-Requires.private: pixman-1, aml < 0.4.0, aml >= 0.3.0, zlib, libdrm, libturbojpeg, gnutls, nettle, hogweed, gmp, gbm, libavcodec, libavfilter, libavutil
+Requires.private: pixman-1, aml >= 0.3.0, aml < 0.4.0, zlib, libdrm, libturbojpeg, gnutls, nettle, hogweed, gmp, gbm, libavcodec, libavfilter, libavutil
Libs: -L${libdir} -lneatvnc
Libs.private: -lm
Cflags: -I${includedir}
This is, ultimately, due to iterating over the contents of a set within a
DefaultDict and can thus be fixed by sorting the output immediately prior to
generating the Requires.private string.
An alternative solution would be to place the sorted(…) call a few lines
down:
return ', '.join(sorted(result))
However, this changes the expected ordering of the entire line, and many users
may be unhappy with that (alternative) change as a result. By contrast, this
commit will only enforce an ordering when there are multiple version
requirements (eg. a lower and a higher version requirement, ie. a version
range). It will, additionally, order them with the lower part of the range
first.
This was originally filed (with a slightly different patch) by myself in
the the Debian bug tracker <https://bugs.debian.org/1056117>.

EmbedManifest seems to default to true, which creates a default manifest based
on other parameters (likewise defaults) and makes it impossible to supply your
own with CREATEPROCESS_MANIFEST_RESOURCE_ID. There is value to being able to do
this and no value to the default one, so this should be disabled.
* unity builds: correct integer ceiling division
* edge case failure with unity builds:
- static archive bar that gets installed, that links with another static
archive foo that does not get installed
- the number of files in static archive foo is divisible by unity_size
would yield an error with ninja:
ninja: error: 'subprojects/foo/src/libfoo.a.p/meson-generated_foo-unity1.cpp.o', needed by 'src/libbar.a', missing and no known rule to make it
* unity builds: test for build failure when #files is divisible by unity_size
It was previously impossible to do this:
```
dep.get_pkgconfig_variable(
'foo',
define_variable: ['prefix', '/usr', 'datadir', '/usr/share'],
)
```
since get_pkgconfig_variable mandated exactly two (if any) arguments.
However, you could do this:
```
dep.get_variable(
'foo',
pkgconfig_define: ['prefix', '/usr', 'datadir', '/usr/share'],
)
```
It would silently do the wrong thing, by defining "prefix" as
`/usr=datadir=/usr/share`, which might not "matter" if only datadir was
used in the "foo" variable as the unmodified value might be adequate.
The actual intention of anyone writing such a meson.build is that they
aren't sure whether the .pc file uses ${prefix} or ${datadir} (or which
one gets used, might have changed between versions of that .pc file,
even).
A recent refactor made this into a hard error, which broke some projects
that were doing this and inadvertently depending on some .pc file that
only used the second variable. (This was "fine" since the result was
essentially meaningful, and even resulted in behavior identical to the
intended behavior if both projects were installed into the same prefix
-- in which case there's nothing to remap.)
Re-allow this. There are two ways we could re-allow this:
- ignore it with a warning
- add a new feature to allow actually doing this
Since the use case which triggered this bug actually has a pretty good
reason to want to do this, it makes sense to add the new feature.

This time we have a case where people are passing non-objects by using
them as str | File, which we never warned about and silently accepted.
If it was passed via custom_target outputs we *would* error out,
interestingly enough. At the backend layer, we just pass them directly
to the linker... which is valid, if we misdetected what's a valid linker
input or people just used funny names. In particular, the mingw
toolchain allows passing a *.def file directly, and some people are
doing that.
If we do want to allow this, we should do it consistently. For now, just
follow the current theme of what's expected, but do so by warning
instead of fatally erroring, for cases where users were able to do it in
the past.
In the case r1 -> s1 -> s2 where s1 and s2 are uninstalled C static
libraries, the libs1.a rule does not depend on libs2.a. That means that
r1 rule must depend on both s1 and s2.
We haven't actually verified that these kwargs are equal to what we had
before, and should probably revert the entire series. But I have
multiple reports in the wild of projects that no longer build because of
`install: [true, false, get_option('foobar')]` which was always
incorrect and always equal to just dropping values all over the floor
and treating it the same as "bool(value) == True".
Special case this particular typed kwarg and allow it with a sternly
worded warning that it was always wrong and should never ever ever be
done.

Pass link arguments directly down to linker by using `-C link-args=`
instead of letting rustc/linker resolve `-l` arguments. This solves
problems with e.g. +verbatim not being portable. Note that we also pass
`-l` args as `-Clink-args=-l` because rustc would otherwise reorder
arguments and put `-lstdc++` before `-Clink-args=libfoo++.a`.
However, when building a rlib/staticlib we should still use `-l`
arguments because that allows rustc to bundle static libraries we
link-whole. In that case, since there is no platform specific dynamic
linker, +verbatim works.
This also fix installed staticlib that now bundle uninstalled static
libraries it links to (recursively). This is done by putting them all
into self.link_whole_targets instead of putting their objects into
self.objects, and let rustc do the bundling. This has the extra
advantage that rustc can bundle static libries built with CustomTarget.
Disable bundling in all other cases, otherwise we could end up with
duplicated objects in static libraries, in diamond dependency graph
case.
Fixes: #12484
CustomTarget and CustomTargetIndex often have to be special cased
because they are not subclass of BuildTarget. It's easier to introduce a
dummy base class.
This fix recursive functions over link targets that might encouters
libraries built as CustomTarget.
The bug that is referenced in the SKIP message was merged in time for
the most recent llvm 16.x release. However, due to the graciousness of
the LLVM developers, a very reasonable response was taken:
LLVM will not merge ("the average"?) bugfixes during the final point
release of a release series, as judged by their willingness to continue
maintaining a major release of LLVM (????????) because merging a bugfix
could theoretically cause a new bug instead and that Simply Is Not
Done™. It could result in truly tragic outcomes, like having to release
another bugfix.
This innovative approach to bug solving has advanced the science of
computing forward by decades. Sadly, it comes at a downside: software
doesn't work. At this point it becomes obvious that llvm 16 in general
will simply not work with Meson, and this is "expected", so bump the
version checking for our SKIP to match reality.
If a tool that is looked up in a .pc file is supposed to be there and
has a pkg-config variable entry, but the value is incorrect, we can't
actually use it.
Since commit ab3d02066c we actually do run
the ExternalProgram search procedure on it though -- which caused it to
go wonky and return a None if it doesn't exist, instead of containing a
path to a program that does not exist and fails at build time. This is
better in the case where searching helps resolve .exe file extensions --
and worse in the case where patches to the dependency means nothing we
do is ever enough to actually find what is expected, since now we crash.
Raise an explicit error in such a case, pointing out that the dependency
itself is broken and needs a distributor-side resolution.
Fixes#12412
has_function_attribute() depends on -Wattributes being emitted when an attribute
is not supported by the compiler. In case of GCC on Window (at least) there is no
warning in case the attribute is used on a declaration. Only once there is also a
function definition does it emit a warning like:
a.c: In function ‘foo’:
a.c:8:1: warning: visibility attribute not supported in this configuration; ignored [-Wattributes]
8 | }
To fix this add a dummy function definition to all visibility compiler checks in meson.
The tests in "197 function attributes" only checked for positive return result on on-msvc
compilers, except one special case for dllexport/dllimport. Refactor the tests a bit so
one can specify also a negative expected result, and add tests for all visibility attribute
variants.
We try to backtrack through the filesystem to find the correct directory
to build in, and suggest this as a possible diagnostic. However, our
current heuristic relies on parsing the raw file with string matching to
see if it starts with `project(`, and this may or may not actually work.
Instead, do a bit of recursion and parse each candidate with mparser,
then check if the first node of *that* file is a project() function.
This makes us resilient to a common case: where the root meson.build is
entirely valid, but, the first line is a comment containing e.g. SPDX
license headers and a simple string comparison simply does not cut it.
Fixes the bad error message from #12441, which was supposed to provide
more guidance but did not.
When a user invokes the scan-build target that Meson generates
all subprojects are included in the resulting report. This commit
modifies the invocation of scan-build to exclude all bugs that
scan-build finds in the subprojects from the final report.
A release note has also been added describing the changed behaviour.
Reduce code duplication by iterating target.get_dependencies() instead
of iterating target.link_targets and target.link_whole_targets
separately. This has the extra benefit of taking into account
transitive dependencies.
- For indirect C ABI static libraries, this adds missing "-l static="
arguments.
- For indirect Rust ABI dependencies, this adds missing "-L" arguments.
- Verbatim modifier was used only for link_whole_targets, it's now
always used when available.
