https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/9287 changed the `optimization=0`
to pass `-O0` to the compiler. This change is reasonable by itself
but unfortunately, it breaks `buildtype=plain`, which promises
that “no extra build flags are used”.
`buildtype=plain` is important for distros like NixOS,
which manage compiler flags for optimization and hardening
themselves.
Let’s introduce a new optimization level that does nothing
and set it as the default for `buildtype=plain`.
MachineChoice is a mesonlib object, not a compilers object, so it makes
no sense to import it from the latter simply because the latter imports
it too. This results in brittle module dependencies and everything
breaking when a refactor removes it from the latter.
... also it is a typing-only import so while we are fixing it to import
from the right place, we can also put it in a type-checking block.
So that every subclass doesn't have to reimplement it. Especially since
the Gnu implementation moved out of the CCompiler and into the
GnuLikeCompiler mixin
Every class needs to set this, so it should be part of the base. For
classes that require is_cross, the positional argument remains in their
signature. For those that don't, they just allow the base class to set
their value to it's default of False.
D lang compilers have an option -release (or similar) which turns off
asserts, contracts, and other runtime type checking. This patch wires
that up to the b_ndebug flag.
Fixes#7082
Currently this is done at the instance level, but we need it at the
class level to allow compiler "lang" args to be gotten early enough.
This patch also removes a couple of instance of branch/leaf classes
providing their own implementation that is identical to the Compiler
version.
Now that the linkers are split out of the compilers this enum is
only used to know what platform we're compiling for. Which is
what the MachineInfo class is for
In most cases instead pass `for_machine`, the name of the relevant
machines (what compilers target, what targets run on, etc). This allows
us to use the cross code path in the native case, deduplicating the
code.
As one can see, environment got bigger as more information is kept
structured there, while ninjabackend got a smaller. Overall a few amount
of lines were added, but the hope is what's added is a lot simpler than
what's removed.
On macOS, we set the install_name for built libraries to
@rpath/libfoo.dylib, and when linking to the library, we set the RPATH
to its path in the build directory. This allows all built binaries to
be run as-is from the build directory (uninstalled).
However, on install, we have to strip all the RPATHs because they
point to the build directory, and we change the install_name of all
built libraries to the absolute path to the library. This causes the
install name in binaries to be out of date.
We now change that install name to point to the absolute path to each
built library after installation.

With this, the default workflow on macOS matches what everyone seems
to do, including Autotools and CMake. The next step is providing a way
for build files to override the install_name that is used after
installation for use with, f.ex., private libraries when combined with
the install_rpath: kwarg on targets.
This patch exploits the information residing in ltversion to set the
-compatibility_version and -current_version flags that are passed to the
linker on macOS.
