* backends: Add a Visual Studio 2013 backend
This is more-or-less a quick port from the VS2015 backend, except that
we update the Visual Studio version strings and toolset versions
accordingly. Also correct the generator string for Visual Studio 2015
in mesonbuild/cmake/common.py.
* backend: Add VS2012 backend
Similar to what we did for Visual Studio 2013, add a Visual Studio 2012
backend.
* vs2010backend.py: Implement `link_whole:` if needed
We actually need Visual Studio 2015 Update 2 to use `/WHOLEARCHIVE:`,
which is what we are currently using for `link_whole:` on Visual Studio.
For Visual Studio versions before that, we need to expand from the
static targets that were indicated by `link_whole:`, and any of the
sub-dependent targets that were pulled in via the dependent target's
`link_whole:`. This wil ensure `link_whole:` would actually work in
such cases.
* vs2010backend.py: Handle objects from generated sources
Unforunately, we can't use backends.determine_ext_objs() reliably, as
the Visual Studio backends handle this differently.
* vs2010backend.py: Fix generating VS2010 projects
Visual Studio 2010 (at least the Express Edition) does not set the envvar
%VisualStudioVersion% in its command prompt, so fix generating VS2010
projects by taking account into this, so that we can determine the location
of vcvarsall.bat correctly.
* whole archive test: Disable on vs2012/2013 backends too
The Visual Studio 2012/2013 IDE has problems handling the items that would be
generated from this test case, so skip this test when using
--backend=vs[2012|2013]. This test does work for the Ninja backend when
VS2012 or VS2013 is used, though.
Consolidate this error message with XCode along with the vs2010 backend.
* docs: Add the new vs2012 and vs2013 backends
Let people know that we have backends for vs2012 and 2013. Also let
people know that generating Visual Studio 2010 projects have been fixed
and the pre-vs2015 backends now handle the `link_whole:` project option.
The existing code works, but it probably doesn't do what the author
thought it would do. `(x or y or z) is not None` works by checking that
each of those things are *truthy* in turn, and returning the first
truthy value, which is compared against None. Using `all()` makes it
very clear that what you want to do is make sure that each value is not
None.
There's no reason to allow None into the backend, it already has code to
check that all of the values of the FileMode object are None, so let's
use that, which is much simpler all the way down.
Since 25df6e7d split the iteration over tests to start them from the
iteration to collect their results, the variable 'name' is only being
set in the first iteratiorn, so all tests are treated as being in the
last test category read (probably 'wasm') for skipppable() and in the
XML output.
Store the category name in the TestDef object
Use it in skippable()
Use it in classname attribute of XML test results
As seen in the testcase, passing objects to custom_target does not work
if headers are passed extract_objects(), or if extract_all_objects() is used
and the sources include any header files. To fix this, use the code that
already exists for unity build to filter out the nonexistent ".h.o" files.
This already gives for free the handling of genlist, which was mentioned
in a TODO comment.
QEMU would like to use the result of extract_objects in a custom_target;
examples are using objcopy, or using the object files as the key to look
up command line arguments in compile_commands.json. This is slightly
peculiar and not covered by the test suite, but it works; in order to avoid
regressions, add a test case and document it.
As a side-effect from #8885 `find_program()` returns now `Executable`
objects when `meson.override_find_program` is called with an
executable target. To resolve this conflict the missing methods
from `ExternalProgram` are added to `BuildTarget`.
