The utility function that processes this for both 'variables' and
'uninstalled_variables' accepts a kwarg for the name of the argument,
but then hardcodes 'variables' in the warning message. This is
misleading.
In commit 06481666f4 this warning got
moved from build.py to the interpreter. Unfortunately it got added to
the wrong function... it is supposed to be part of custom_target and
even mentions this as the feature_name.
Since then, build_always became a KwargInfo and has the deprecated-since
attribute baked into it. But it didn't have the additional message which
it really should have.
Add that message at the same time we remove it from vcs_tag.
Currently there is a try/except around the function that detects and
rejects this, which instead of rejecting it, spawns a warning and
continue.
This warning exists because of 'test cases/vala/9 gir/' which passes a
vala generated output that isn't a return value (!!!) using string
joining with the meson.current_build_dir() function (also !!!) because
we officially document this (!!! for a third time) as the only way to
make a vala shared library generate a typelib with a custom_command from
the automatically generated gir:
https://mesonbuild.com/Vala.html#gobject-introspection-and-language-bindings
In #3061 we converted strings to Files, but only if none of them were
this vala hack. Due to the precise implementation, we also failed to
convert strings to Files if any other error occurred, but since we only
want to ignore errors for generated vala outputs, tighten that check and
specifically call out generated files in the warning.
Fixes#8635
We allow this for the command (the first parameter), but not later
parameters, which is just odd. This also allows us to give better error
messages for the case of overridden programs.
This also cleans up a couple of internal callers of the internal impl
version that don't set the `check` argument, and therefore trigger a
warning about not setting the check argument.
This ensures that there is no warnings when running meson on
test cases/common/22 object extraction.

Calling interpreter implementation methods is just a bad idea, apart
from the extra type checking that goes into it, we need to pass more
arguments than we need to calling the impl method.
This also includes a few type annotation cleans for the Summary object.
Getting the positional arguments exactly right is impossible, as this is
really a function with two different signatures:
```
summary(value: dictionary): void
summary(key: string, value: any): void
```
We can get close enough in the typed_pos_args by enforcing that there
are two parameters, one required and one optional, and that the first
must be either a dictionary or a string.
This is only relevant on certain versions of meson, so do not print it
when meson_version is too low.
The message itself is not precisely a deprecation warning, since
ostensibly it may be an unlikely coding mistake. It is probably an
attempt to implement `copy: true`, but it might not be, hence "warning"
instead of "deprecation". So although we could switch this to a
FeatureDeprecated, that is not being done at this time.
Fixes the following error in the testcase:

install: false was only available since 0.50, so we should not warn
people who support older versions to use something they cannot.
Fortunately, we can do FeatureDeprecated for this -- and then it even
gets summarized. Unfortunately, it's not well used, and certainly isn't
here.
It has always been working even if not documented and there is no reason
to not accept it. However, change "True/False" to "true/false" to be
consistent with meson language.
Fixes: #9436
Now, warnings are unconditionally raised when parsing the wrap file,
whether they are used or not. That being said, these warnings literally
just check for a couple of keys used in the .wrap ini file.
Moving these checks from the time of use to the time of loading, means
that we no longer report warnings only when originally downloading or
extracting the file or VCS repo.
It also means we no longer report warnings in one subproject, when a
wrap file is picked up from a different subproject because the first
subproject actually does a dependency lookup. This caused issues for the
WrapDB tooling, which uses patch_directory everywhere and the
superproject requires a suitable minimum version of meson for this...
but individual wraps might use a much lower version, and would then
raise a warning (in strict mode, converted to an error) when it resolved
a dependency from another WrapDB project.
Fixes#9118
This replaces the absolute hack of using
```
install_subdir('nonexisting', install_dir: 'share')
```
which requires you to make sure you don't accidentally or deliberately
have a completely different directory with the same name in your source
tree that is full of files you don't want installed. It also avoids
splitting the name in two and listing them in the wrong order.
You can also set the install mode of each directory component by listing
them one at a time in order, and in fact create nested structures at
all.
Fixes#1604
Properly fixes#2904
This is the final refactoring for extracting the bultin object
logic out of Interpreterbase. I decided to do both arrays and
dicts in one go since splitting it would have been a lot more
confusing.
