All kwargs inherited from has_header need to be prefixed `header_` so we
cannot just do straight inheritance. And the part of the description
that highlighted the way kwargs are derived and evolved, went entirely
missing.
Fixes#9551
When installing with 'meson install --quiet' I'd get the following output:
This file does not have an rpath.
This file does not have a runpath.
(It turns out that of the couple hundred of binaries that are installed,
this message was generated for /usr/lib/systemd/boot/efi/linuxx64.elf.stub.)
There doesn't seem to be any good reason for this output by default. But those
functions can still be used for debugging. Under a debugger, returning the
string is just as useful as printing it, but more flexible. So let's suppress
printing of anything by default, but keep the extractor functions.
The code was somewhat inconsistent wrt. to when .decode() was done. But it
seems that we'll get can expect a decodable text string in all cases, so
just call .decode() everywhere, because it's nicer to print decoded strings.
This removes the `packages` keyword argument, which was added in
80d665e8de, but beyond not warning about
unknown arguments has never done anything, and has never been
documented. The only users I could find were in our own test suite. If
someone is using this we can add it back with a deprecation warning.
String formatting should validly assume that printing a list means
printing the list itself. Instead, something like this broke:
'one is: @0@ and two is: @1@'.format(['foo', 'bar'], ['baz'])
which would evaluate as:
'one is: foo and two is: bar'
or:
'the value of array option foobar is: @0@'.format(get_option('foobar'))
which should evaluate with '-Dfoobar=[]' as
'the value of array option foobar is: []'
But instead produced:
meson.build:7:0: ERROR: Format placeholder @0@ out of range.
Fixes#9530
It's supposed to emit an error message, but instead it did a traceback.
It used to be, if no install_dir was specified then it was simply not in
kwargs, but due to typed_kwargs it will now be there, but not have
viable contents, so the dict membership check got skipped.
Fixes#9522
Since 0.59.0 Meson downloads multiple wraps in parallel, so the
packagecache directory could be created by one then the 2nd would hit
error when calling os.mkdir() because it already exists.
fixes#6314
in case of backend is vs2017 or vs2019 place LanguageStandard tag with stdcpp version and LanguageStandard_C tag with stdc version in .vcxproj file
We say:
> If version 4.2 or higher of the first is found, targets coverage-text,
> coverage-xml, coverage-sonarqube and coverage-html are generated.
But this is totally untrue. Make it true, by actually checking (and
not generating broken coverage commands when older versions of gcovr are
found).
Fixes#9505
Python is a whitespace significant language, changing indent level
implies that scope is changing. So when a string like
```python
def foo():
a = '''
somthing
'''
return a
```
It's visually misleading. Couple that with folding editors like vim
getting utterly confused by this, and it turns into a real pain. Using
textwrap.dedent allows us to get rid of that:
```python
def foo():
a = texwrap.dedent(
'''
something
''')
return a
```
But we still get the same result
