CMake's write_basic_package_version_file has supported since version 3.14
an ARCH_INDEPENDENT option that makes it skip its architecture check in
the Version file.
With this patch Meson now supports it as well, and the change is also
compatible with older CMake versions, as they will simply ignore the
option.
This also slightly changes the contents of the generated Version file
when arch_independent is not set: previously, the if() needed to skip
the arch check was always filled with an empty string, while CMake puts
"FALSE" (or "TRUE") in it. Now, that if() will always be filled with
either "False" or "True", better matching CMake's behaviour.
Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], I noticed that meson did
not generate reproducible .cmake files: they include the full path name.
This commit not only makes the build reproducible, but it also matches CMake's
own behaviour. Specifically, CMakePackageConfigHelpers.cmake does the
equivalent transformation using:
get_filename_component(inputFileName "${_inputFile}" NAME)
I originally filed this in Debian as bug #1000327 [1].

We already have this magic string in mesonlib, and this should always
have used the cmake@ format which is identical to the meson format other
than the regex.
We ended up passing a NoneType as the program binary, which is a very
awkward way to communicate an error when failing to write a basic
package version file.
We have a lot of these. Some of them are harmless, if unidiomatic, such
as `if (condition)`, others are potentially dangerous `assert(...)`, as
`assert(condtion)` works as expected, but `assert(condition, message)`
will result in an assertion that never triggers, as what you're actually
asserting is `bool(tuple[2])`, which will always be true.
Custom objects returned by modules must be subclass of ModuleObject and
have the state argument in its methods.
Add MutableModuleObject base class for objects that needs to be deep
copied on assignation.
The only advantage they have is they have the interpreter in arguments,
but it's already available as self.interpreter. We should discourage
usage of the interpreter API and rely on ModuleState object instead in
the future.
This also lift the restriction that a module method cannot add build
targets, but that was not enforced for snippet methods anyway (and some
modules were doing it) and it's really loose restriction as it should
check for many other things if we wanted to make it consistent.
Dependencies is already a large and complicated package without adding
programs to the list. This also allows us to untangle a bit of spaghetti
that we have.
All changes were created by running
"pyupgrade --py3-only --keep-percent-format"
and committing the results. I have not touched string formatting for
now.
- use set literals
- simplify .format() parameter naming
- remove __future__
- remove default "r" mode for open()
- use OSError rather than compatibility aliases
- remove stray parentheses in function(generator) scopes
By default all subprojects are installed. If --skip-subprojects is given
with no value only the main project is installed. If --skip-subprojects
is given with a value, it should be a coma separated list of subprojects
to skip and all others will be installed.
Fixes: #2550.
This patches takes the options work to it's logical conclusion: A single
flat dictionary of OptionKey: UserOptions. This allows us to simplify a
large number of cases, as we don't need to check if an option is in this
dict or that one (or any of 5 or 6, actually).
This is done with the new cmake subprojects options object
that is similar to the already exisiting configuration data
object. It is consumed by the new `options` kwarg of the
cmake.subproject function.
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
In most cases instead pass `for_machine`, the name of the relevant
machines (what compilers target, what targets run on, etc). This allows
us to use the cross code path in the native case, deduplicating the
code.
As one can see, environment got bigger as more information is kept
structured there, while ninjabackend got a smaller. Overall a few amount
of lines were added, but the hope is what's added is a lot simpler than
what's removed.
It doesn't make much sense to have this and not also have
cross-compilers (so any use of this is already pretty suspect as
probably wrong when cross-compiling).
This information is accessible anyhow via environment.coredata.
This new cmake module allows to generate cmake package files. This may ease the
porting for cmake projects that are exporting cmake package informations for other
depending projects. The module uses as much as possible the templates provided by
the cmake installation (and so cmake needs to be installed).
