When trying to get the version of a program, meson was previously
hardcoded to run the binary with `--version`. This does work with the
vast majority of programs, but there are a few outliers (e.g. ffmpeg)
which have an unusual argument for printing out the version. Support
these programs by introducing a version_argument kwarg in find_program
which allows users to override `--version` with whatever the custom
argument for printing the version may be for the program.
Only Environment and ConfigurationData are mutable. However, only
ConfigurationData becomes immutable after first use which is
inconsistent.
This deprecates modification after first use of Environment object and
clarify documentation.
Followup to 7b7d2e060b which handles ASAN and UBSAN.
It turns out that MSAN needs the same treatment. I've checked other sanitizers
like HWASAN and TSAN - it looks like they may both need it too, but Meson doesn't
currently suppose those anyway (see https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/12648).

This patch adds 'depends' keyword to compiler.preprocess().
It allows to execute other targets before doing the preprocessing.
Test-case is added to demonstrate that functionality: it
generates the header before preprocessing the C source that
uses that generated header.
Thanks to @bruchar1 for getting this patch to work.
This is needed now that str.format() is not allowing it any more. It is
also more consistent with other objects that have that method as well,
such as build targets.
Fixes: #12406
It was previously impossible to do this:
```
dep.get_pkgconfig_variable(
'foo',
define_variable: ['prefix', '/usr', 'datadir', '/usr/share'],
)
```
since get_pkgconfig_variable mandated exactly two (if any) arguments.
However, you could do this:
```
dep.get_variable(
'foo',
pkgconfig_define: ['prefix', '/usr', 'datadir', '/usr/share'],
)
```
It would silently do the wrong thing, by defining "prefix" as
`/usr=datadir=/usr/share`, which might not "matter" if only datadir was
used in the "foo" variable as the unmodified value might be adequate.
The actual intention of anyone writing such a meson.build is that they
aren't sure whether the .pc file uses ${prefix} or ${datadir} (or which
one gets used, might have changed between versions of that .pc file,
even).
A recent refactor made this into a hard error, which broke some projects
that were doing this and inadvertently depending on some .pc file that
only used the second variable. (This was "fine" since the result was
essentially meaningful, and even resulted in behavior identical to the
intended behavior if both projects were installed into the same prefix
-- in which case there's nothing to remap.)
Re-allow this. There are two ways we could re-allow this:
- ignore it with a warning
- add a new feature to allow actually doing this
Since the use case which triggered this bug actually has a pretty good
reason to want to do this, it makes sense to add the new feature.

Do as we do for MALLOC_PERTURB and set a sensible value for both ASAN_OPTIONS
and UBSAN_OPTIONS to abort on failure and give more helpful output at the
same time. We do not set these options if the user has exported a value
themselves to allow override.
In the last week alone, I've observed two cases where people were expecting
sanitizers to abort on failure and were surprised when it didn't:
1) 252d693797
2) c47df433f7
Correct this - which is in-line with meson's DWIM/DTRT philosophy.

Which allow passing arguments specifically to the static or shared
libraries.
For design, this is all handled in the interpreter, by the build layer
the arguments are combined into the existing fields. This limits changes
required in the mid and backend layers
Way back in Meson 0.25, support was added to `vala_args` for Files.
Strangely, this was never added to any other language, though it's been
discussed before. For type safety, it makes more sense to handle this in
the interpreter level, and pass only strings into the build IR.
This is accomplished by adding a `depend_files` field to the
`BuildTarget` class (which is not exposed to the user), and adding the
depend files into that field, while converting the arguments to relative
string paths. This ensures both the proper build dependencies happen, as
well as that the arguments are always strings.
When checking target names, meson explictly forbids having multiple
targets with the same name. This is good, but it is strict and it is
impossible to have targets with the same basename and differing suffixes
(e.g. foo and foo.bin) in the same directory. Allow this for executables
by including the suffix (if it exists) in the interal target id. So foo
would be foo@exe and foo.bin would be foo.bin@exe.
Allow macro_name to be speficied as a parameter to configure_file().
This allows C macro-style include guards to be added to
configure_file()'s output when a template file is not given. This change
simplifies the creation of configure files that define macros with
dynamic names and want the C-style include guards.
A standard C library may not exist for cross-compile
environments, thus the existence of <stdio.h> cannot be
guaranteed.
Use <stddef.h> instead, this header contains compiler-specific
defines thus it usually comes from the compiler.
Adds a new method to the compiler object, has_define.
This makes it possible to check if a preprocessor macro/define
is set or not.
This is especially helpful if the define in question is empty,
for example:
#define MESON_EMPTY_DEFINE
This would yield the same results as a missing define with
the existing get_define method, as it would return an empty
string for both cases. Therefore this additional method is
needed.
add the "required" keyword to the functions
has_function
has_type
has_member
has_members
has_argument
has_multi_arguments
has_link_argument
has_multi_link_argument
has_function_attribute

The wording was a bit confusing and misled at least one person into
thinking it behaved like `str.replace('c', '')` operating on the entire
line. Tweak the wording to be more precise and avoid this confusion.
This fixes two issues in constructing the default installation path
when install_dir is not specified:
- inside a subproject, install_data() would construct the destination
path using the parent project name instead than the current project
name,
- when specifying preserve_path, install_data() would construct the
destination path omitting the project name.
Fixes#11910.
Jar has a very low set of overlap with other target types, including
that jar sources *must* be .java, and no other target allows .java
sources. As such, the difficulty in crafting a useful `build_target`
invocation that allows both `jar` and anything else is high, and the
usefulness is dubious. Just use `jar()` directly instead.
This depends on the changes to make all of the jar() specific keyword
arguments be handled by typed_kwargs so that the deprecation messages
are correct and consistent.
