This option controls the permissions of installed files (except for
those specified explicitly using install_mode option, e.g. in
install_data rules.)
An install-umask of 022 will install all binaries, directories and
executable files with mode rwxr-xr-x, while all data and non-executable
files will be installed with mode rw-r--r--.
Setting install-umask to the string 'preserve' will disable this
feature, keeping the permissions of installed files same as the files in
the build tree (or source tree for install_data and install_subdir.)
Note that, in this case, the umask used when building and that used when
checking out the source tree will leak into the install tree.
Keep the default as 'preserve', to show that no behavior is changed and
all tests keep passing unchanged.
Tested: ./run_tests.py
The `install` parameter that is present in the `permittedKwargs`
annotation is wrong. The correct parameter name, which is also
consistent with the rest of functions in the `gnome` module, is
`install_dir`.
This adds a new method, partial_dependency to all dependencies. These
sub dependencies are copies of the original dependency, but with one or
more of the attributes replaced with an empty list. This allows creating
a sub dependency that has only cflags or drops link_arguments, for
example.
I'm not really happy about this to be honest, I don't like having both
-- and -D options, I think it's stupid to have two ways to do exactly
the same thing, especially since we then have to validate that someone
hasn't passed the argument both ways.
However, other people want this, so here it is.
Fixes#969
Currently meson only accepts `-Dopt=value` for builtin options when
calling `meson configure` and `--opt=value` for builtin options when
calling `meson` initially. This is a confusing behavior, and users only
get a small warning at the top of a potentially long configuration
summary to catch this.
This has confused end users and developers alike, there are at least 5
duplicates of the bug this fixes, and I have personally been asked about
this more times than I can count. The help documentation doesn't make
it clear that -D cannot be used to set options like prefix and bindir.
This adds support for -D options to the initial meson call, but not --
options to the meson configure call. I think it's better to have one way
to do things, and -- options are kinda one off while -D is used
everywhere else, so lets stick with that.
Related #969
We have all the information needed to calculate the builtin arguments in
the coredata module already, don't duplicate that in the mesonmain
module as well.
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.
