I don't really know how to explain this briefly...
If you don't decorate this with dllimport, then a Cygwin runtime relocation
is used (a so called 'pseudo-reloc'). As the relocation offset is only 32
bits, this can fail on x86_64 if the DLL happens to be loaded more than 2GB
away from the reference.
If you decorate with dllimport, then access is indirected via a pointer,
imp_square_unsigned, which is fixed up by the loader.
'test cases/common/12 data' and 'test cases/common/66 install subdir' both
try to install something as 'root'. This user doesn't exist on Cygwin.
Perhaps we should automatically convert this to some other user, but it's
not clear which. For real projects, it's possibly better for the meson.build
to explicitly handle this...
'test cases/common/12 data' also tries to install something with GID 0.
There's no guarantee this group exists.
Including newlib's <stdlib.h> brings in a '#define __has_include 0', so
using -U__has_include on the command line isn't going to remove it (so the
fallback doesn't happen and the test fails)
Instead use a '#undef __has_include' at the end of the prefix to excerise
this.
(newlib's <stdlib.h> is derived from FreeBSD, so the same problem will
probably be seen there)
Cygwin executables are still loaded by the Windows PE loader, so PATH needs
to include any extra directories where required DLLs can be found.
Cygwin uses a unix style ':'-separated PATH. os.pathsep is used correctly
on extra_paths in meson_exe.py, but not in mesontest.py

This would make it harder to parse an option to mesonconf such
as -Dfoo:bar:baz:fun=value since it could mean either of these:
* For subproject 'foo:bar:baz', set the option 'fun' to 'value'
* For subproject 'foo:bar', an invalid option 'baz:fun' was set
To differentiate between these two we'd need to create the list of
subprojects first and then parse their options later, which
complicates the parsing quite a bit.
When install_dir was set for a shared_library, the import library
would not be installed at all, which is unintended.
Instead, install it into the custom directory if it is set, otherwise
install it in the default import library installation directory.
Includes a test for this.
You can now pass a list of strings to the install_dir: kwarg to
build_target and custom_target.
Custom Targets:
===============
Allows you to specify the installation directory for each
corresponding output. For example:
custom_target('different-install-dirs',
output : ['first.file', 'second.file'],
...
install : true,
install_dir : ['somedir', 'otherdir])
This would install first.file to somedir and second.file to otherdir.
If only one install_dir is provided, all outputs are installed there
(same behaviour as before).
To only install some outputs, pass `false` for the outputs that you
don't want installed. For example:
custom_target('only-install-second',
output : ['first.file', 'second.file'],
...
install : true,
install_dir : [false, 'otherdir])
This would install second.file to otherdir and not install first.file.
Build Targets:
==============
With build_target() (which includes executable(), library(), etc),
usually there is only one primary output. However some types of
targets have multiple outputs.
For example, while generating Vala libraries, valac also generates
a header and a .vapi file both of which often need to be installed.
This allows you to specify installation directories for those too.
# This will only install the library (same as before)
shared_library('somevalalib', 'somesource.vala',
...
install : true)
# This will install the library, the header, and the vapi into the
# respective directories
shared_library('somevalalib', 'somesource.vala',
...
install : true,
install_dir : ['libdir', 'incdir', 'vapidir'])
# This will install the library into the default libdir and
# everything else into the specified directories
shared_library('somevalalib', 'somesource.vala',
...
install : true,
install_dir : [true, 'incdir', 'vapidir'])
# This will NOT install the library, and will install everything
# else into the specified directories
shared_library('somevalalib', 'somesource.vala',
...
install : true,
install_dir : [false, 'incdir', 'vapidir'])
true/false can also be used for secondary outputs in the same way.
Valac can also generate a GIR file for libraries when the `vala_gir:`
keyword argument is passed to library(). In that case, `install_dir:`
must be given a list with four elements, one for each output.
Includes tests for all these.

The configure_file command raised an exception when an input was specified as a
File, because os.path.join does not take File objects directly. This patch
converts a File object to a string and adjusts the subsequent os.path.join
calls.
This avoids unnecessary rebuilds occuring when Meson regenerates the
build.ninja file. Previously, if the ordering of the commandline
arguments changed then Ninja would consider the outputs dirty and
rebuild them.
This just makes an OrderedDict look more like a set class. This results
in neater code than if we use OrderedDict to hold sets directly.
There is a "real" OrderedSet implementation available here, but it lacks
a clear license: https://code.activestate.com/recipes/576694/
Previously, two functionally identical builds could produce different
build.ninja files. The ordering of the rules themselves doesn't affect
behaviour, but unnecessary changes in commandline arguments can cause
spurious rebuilds and if the ordering of the overall file is stable
than it's easy to use `diff` to compare different build.ninja files
and spot the differences in ordering that are triggering the unnecessary
rebuilds.
