The test.json format currently has three keys related to skipping tests:
* `skip_on_jobname`
* `skip_on_os`
* `skip_on_env`
While `skip_on_env` marks the test itself as skipped, i.e. they don't get run when the
conditions are met, the other two skip options are just marking the test as "expected to be skipped"
if the conditions apply, i.e. they want to see `MESON_SKIP_TEST` in the output and things will
fail if that doesn't happen. They don't actually skip the tests as the names imply.
To make this clearer rename the keys:
* `skip_on_jobname` -> `expect_skip_on_jobname`
* `skip_on_os` -> `expect_skip_on_os`
`skip_on_env` stays the same, since that actually skips.
The docs were also confused about this, so adjust that too.
Use a proper install option for this. Now `install_<type>` can directly
override `install` instead of passing a boolean to the string kwarg
`install_dir_<type>`.
generate_gir forces building both the typelib and gir, and some people
only want one or the other (probably only the typelib?) which means
flagging the other as install_dir: false in the same way custom_target
supports.
As this always worked, albeit undocumented, make sure it keeps working.
It's pretty reasonable to allow, anyway.
Fixes https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/9484#issuecomment-980131791
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.
