It turns out that llvm-config on windows can return such wonderful
output as `-LIBDIR:c:\\... c:\\abslute\\path\\to\\lib.lib`, which was
all fine and dandy when we were blindly passing it through, GCC/MinGW
ignored it and MSVC understood it meant `/LIBDIR:`; however, after we
added some code to validate linker arguments, and we have some code
before the validation that tries to remove posix style -L arguments,
resulting in IBDIR:..., which doesn't validate.
This patch fixes up the output of llvm-config so that -LIBDIR: is
replaced by the the link libdir argument of the compiler, via the
compiler/linker method for getting that.
Fixes#5419
Meson itself *almost* only cares about the build and host platforms. The
exception is it takes a `target_machine` in the cross file and exposes
it to the user; but it doesn't do anything else with it. It's therefore
overkill to put target in `PerMachine` and `MachineChoice`. Instead, we
make a `PerThreeMachine` only for the machine infos.
Additionally fix a few other things that were bugging me in the process:
- Get rid of `MachineInfos` class. Since `envconfig.py` was created, it
has no methods that couldn't just got on `PerMachine`
- Make `default_missing` and `miss_defaulting` work functionally. That
means we can just locally bind rather than bind as class vars the
"unfrozen" configuration. This helps prevent bugs where one forgets
to freeze a configuration.
When we create a dependency as part of another dependency (say Threads),
we want to pass down most of the methods (like required). Currently
however, there is the possibility that we can pass down invalid keyword
arguments, such as 'method'. This new method is meant to work around
that my simplifying and centralizing how we pass these dependencies
down.
Some things, like `method[...](...)` or `x: ... = ...` python 3.5
doesn't support, so I made a comment instead with the intention that it
can someday be made into a real annotation.
Since gpgme 1.13.0, pkg-config files are available and this is the
preferred way to detect the dependency. Without this, projects that wish
to generate pkg-config files that Requires.private on gpgme, now have
their custom dependency() fallbacks overridden with an incorrect
configtool dependency.
Instad of having special casing of threads in the backends and
everywehre else, do what we did for openmp, create a real
dependency. Then make use of the fact that dependencies can now have
sub dependencies to add threads.
I'll be using this later, but it seems useful to allow dependencies to
that have special handlers to declare that they depend on other
dependencies. This should allow us to stop treating threads special
internally and just make it a normal dependency.
This creates a new command line option to store pkg_config_path into,
and store the environment variable into that option. Currently this
works like the environment variable, for both cross and native targets.
Currently InternalDependency.get_partial_dependency shadows the the
input variables names, and then passes those new copies to the final
object returned. It also passes them to the arguments of of
get_partial_dependency for each subdependency, which is wrong. The
code is supposed to proxy the original argumetn values to that instead
of the shadowing values.
To avoid that this patch renames the new values.
It was a mistake in retrospect to not make this deprecated in the
first place, so let's do that. When cross files were new we needed
this as a way to specify a llvm-config binary, since it could be
passed via PATH overrides.
Whenever a non-executable Python script is found by find_program, currently
Haiku and Windows replace a python3 from the shebang line with the one that
was used by Meson. Extend this behavior to POSIX systems so that it is
easy to test a program with multiple Python versions.
Currently this is particularly important for generators, because
they don't allow files in the arguments and thus you cannot do
something like
g = generator(pymod.find_installation(), ...,
arguments: [files('myscript.py'), ...])
With this patch, instead, you can just do
g = generator(find_program('myscript.py'), ...)
This patch creates an enum for selecting libtype as static, shared,
prefer-static, or prefer-shared. This also renames 'static-shared'
with 'prefer_static' and 'shared-static' with 'prefer_shared'. This is
just a refactor with no behavioral changes or user facing changes.
