We originally skipped on Windows for the same reason, and now we need to
do that for EPEL 7 and F23 which ship pkg-config 0.28 which doesn't have
--validate.
Closes#1129
We want compiler check arguments (-O0, -fpermissive, etc) to override
all other arguments, and we want extra_args passed in by the build file
to always override everything.
To do this properly, we must split include arguments out, append them
first, append all other arguments as usual, and then append the rest.
As part of this, we also add the compiler check flags to the
cc.compiles() and cc.links() helper functions since they also most
likely need them.
Also includes a unit test for all this.
Knowing whether a test failed to run as its prerequisites were not
available, or whether those prerequisites were available and produced
unexpected/incorrect results, is a useful differentiation.
Add support for skipped tests by testing for exit code 77, used through
autotools/piglit/etc to denote a test which detected this and decided to
skip.
The library from which we extract should have multiple sources
from which we choose a strict subset otherwise we're testing almost the
same case extracting all the objects.
This exposes a bug in how we were doing extract checking for unity
builds.
Can only test this by checking the compiler id, but that's good enough.
Disabling so we can get #995 in which will help keep the VS backend in
a better state w.r.t. other PRs.
I've opened #1004 to track this in the meantime.
The code generated manually with manygen.py must use the same CRT
compiler arguments as the final executable itself or we get an error
during linking:
MSVCRTD.lib(_chandler4gs_.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __except_handler4_common referenced in function __except_handler4
depuser.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
The pkg-config version shipped with MinGW is too old, and the test is
sufficiently covered on Linux, so just skip it on Windows. We anyway do
not run the other pkg-config tests on Windows.
Need to pass -fpermissive to force C++ compilers to only warn about our
non-conformant code that tests for a symbol being defined.
Also do a simple #ifdef check first in has_header_symbol to allow
arbitrary macros to be detected which would not have been detected
earlier. This follows what AC_CHECK_DECL does.
Closes#958
All assignments in meson should be by value, so mutable objects
(i.e. environment() and configuration_data()) should be copied
automatically on assignment.
Fixes#831.
Not only does extract_all_objects() now work properly again,
extract_objects() also works if you specify a subset of sources all of
which have been compiled into a single unified object.
So, for instance, this allows you to extract all the objects
corresponding to the C sources compiled into a target consisting of
C and C++ sources.
With C/C++, on Windows you don't need to pass any arguments for a static
library to be PIC. On UNIX platforms you need to pass -fPIC.
Other languages such as D have compiler-specific PIC arguments required
for PIC support in static libraries on UNIX platforms.
This kwarg allows people to specify which static libraries should be
built with PIC support. This is usually used for static libraries that
will be linked into shared libraries.
Add support for passing a description to configuration data
setter methods via a 'description' kwarg. The description
string will be used when meson generates the entire configure
file without a template, autoconf-style.
