Do not recommend running the 'upload' target by default in order to
build the docs. That will fail with permission errors when trying to
push to a repo most people don't have commit access to, and if they did
have commit access it would be an even worse problem -- unpredictably
overwriting the main website without any guarantee it was generated from
the latest version of the docs!
Plus, it does not actually work. The first thing it does is spawn an
error message that required files do not exist, because the actual docs
were not, in fact, built. So they cannot be uploaded either.
The docs will build by default if you do not specify a non-default
target.
Fixes#9873
This is currently allowed, and is used in at least a few projects. It
was not intended to work or documented, but it does and since it is in
use a full deprecation period must be used. A warning has also been
added for values < 0, which have surprising behavior.
It used to support:
- a single string
- an array of anything
And as long as CustomTarget supported it too, everything worked fine.
So, a `files('foo')` worked but a `files('foo')[0]` did not, which is
silly... and it's not exactly terrible to use files() here, the input is
literally a list of source files.

It is unmaintained, broken (frequently for long periods of time) and not
really required for any meson functionality. Its purpose is to be used
as a one-shot tool for creating a distro package recipe, and then
deleted from your meson.build files.
Due to its fragile dependency on coredata implementation details, we
cannot assume it will reliably work, or continue to work, without
someone who is actively willing to take responsibility for it.
Even if that were to happen, this might be better off as an external
script that parses introspection data.

This is another toolchain also called `armclang`, but it is not a cross
compiler like Keil's `armclang`. It is essentially the same as `clang`
based on its interface and CMake's support of the toolchain.
Use an `armltd` prefix for the compiler ID.
Fixes: #7255
They claimed that all of these functions accepted any posargs or varargs
that install scripts supported. This was inconsistent with both the
types that meson currently allowed, and the types that we documented in
refman 1.0 *should* be allowed.
Take the opportuninty to be clear as refman 1.0 never was, about the
difference between types supported in the first posarg, and the ypes
supported in succeeding varargs.
Add ability to mutate a target's `extra_files` list through the
rewriter.
The logic is copied from sources add/rm, but changes the `extra_files`
kwarg instead of the sources positional argument.
Has additional logic to handle creating the `extra_files` list if it
doesn't exist.
There are thee arguments that are passed directly to CustomTarget which
are not in the permittedKwargs: depends, depend_files, and build_always.
The first two are obviously generically useful, as they allow creating
correct ordering. The latter, not so much. Since it was an error to pass
it, we'll just delete it.
generate_gir forces building both the typelib and gir, and some people
only want one or the other (probably only the typelib?) which means
flagging the other as install_dir: false in the same way custom_target
supports.
As this always worked, albeit undocumented, make sure it keeps working.
It's pretty reasonable to allow, anyway.

Emit a detailed deprecation warning that explains what to do instead.
Also add a unittest.
```
DEPRECATION: target prog links against shared module mymod, which is incorrect.
This will be an error in the future, so please use shared_library() for mymod instead.
If shared_module() was used for mymod because it has references to undefined symbols,
use shared_libary() with `override_options: ['b_lundef=false']` instead.
```
