Previously if a user tried to pass a command line build
option that contained a '%' character the command line
parser assumed that there was string interpolation to be
done. As there is no sense in such a scenario no code
provides any input for the interpolation. This then leads to
a failure.
In this commit we specifically override the defaults in
ConfigParser and set interpolation to None, which disables
command line build option interpolation.
Fixes#6157
When a static library link_whole to a bunch of other static libraries,
we have to extract all their objects recursively. But that could
introduce duplicated objects. ar is dumb enough to allow this without
error, but once the resulting static library is linked into an
executable or shared library, the linker will complain about duplicated
symbols.
A build with a cross file should always be identified as a cross build, even if
the host and build machine are identical. This was the case in 0.50, regressed
in 0.51, and is fixed again in 0.52, so add a test case to ensure it doesn't
regress again.
* Do not strip static archives
Stripping static archives without more fine-grained options (e.g. `-g`)
leads to failures such as
ld: libfoo.a: error adding symbols: archive has no index; run ranlib to add one
because GNU strip removes *every* symbol in a static archive by default.
Given that static archives are not final build artifacts (unlike
executables and shared libraries), stripping them gains little and only
causes more edge case failures.
* Gentoo's portage only strips debug information:
86f211e3a5/bin/estrip (L322)
* Fedora also only strips debug information:
e9c13c6565/scripts/brp-strip-static-archive (L18)
* Debian also only does some very light stripping:
72ed1d3261/dh_strip (L374)Fixes#4138
* Add test case for static archive stripping
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.
For consistency, it can be useful to have an explicit empty test suite list
for a test:
test('test-name', binary, suite: [])
This currently passes meson but fails when running meson tests:

Fix it by simply checking for the test suite to be a valid list we can pass on

Warn when someone tries to use append() or prepend() on an env var
which already has an operation set on it. People seem to think that
multiple append/prepend operations stack, but they don't.
Closes https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/5087
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.
This allows the person running configure (either a developer, user, or
distro maintainer) to keep a configuration of where various kinds of
files should end up.
