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.
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
When an older version of the library being built is installed in the
same prefix as external dependencies, we have to be careful to construct
the linker or compiler command line. If a -L flag from external
dependencoes comes before a -L flag pointing to builddir, it is possible
for the linker to load older libraries from the installation prefix
instead of the newly built ones, which is likely to cause undefined
reference error.
Since the order of dependencies is not significant, we cannot expect
internal dependencies to appear before external dependencies when
recursively iterating the list of dependencies. To make it harder to
make mistakes, linker flags come from internal and external
dependencies are now stored in different order sets. Code using
_get_dependencies_flags are expected to follow the order when
constructing linker command line:
1. Internal linker flags
2. LDFLAGS set by users
3. External linker flags
It is similar to what automake and libtool do for autotools projects.
