`configure_file` kwarg `copy` runs at configure time, whereas
`fs.copyfile` runs at build time. Both have use cases, so this
undeprecates the `configure_file` version.
Fixes: #12792
When a user writes `import'foo')`, Meson checks the
`mesonbuild/modules/` directory for a package called `foo.py`, and
attempts to import it. We don't want to expose any implementation detail
packages like `_qt.py`, so if someone write `import('_qt')`, we should
immediately give a "doesn't exist" error.
This fixes issues where a new option is added, an option is removed, the
constraints of an option are changed, an option file is added where one
didn't previously exist, an option file is deleted, or it is renamed
between meson_options.txt and meson.options
There is one case that is known to not work, but it's probably a less
common case, which is setting options for an unconfigured subproject.
We could probably make that work in some cases, but I don't think it
makes sense to download a wrap during meson configure.
When we load the option file in the interpreter record which file it
was, and what the hash of that file was. This will let `meson configure`
know that the options have changed since the last re-configure.
Python provides some nifty tools for mocking, without relying on
altering running code. We should use these to simplify the actual run
paths and move the complicated logic into tests.
This replaces all of the Apache blurbs at the start of each file with an
`# SPDX-License-Identifier: Apache-2.0` string. It also fixes existing
uses to be consistent in capitalization, and to be placed above any
copyright notices.
This removes nearly 3000 lines of boilerplate from the project (only
python files), which no developer cares to look at.
SPDX is in common use, particularly in the Linux kernel, and is the
recommended format for Meson's own `project(license: )` field
We haven't actually verified that these kwargs are equal to what we had
before, and should probably revert the entire series. But I have
multiple reports in the wild of projects that no longer build because of
`install: [true, false, get_option('foobar')]` which was always
incorrect and always equal to just dropping values all over the floor
and treating it the same as "bool(value) == True".
Special case this particular typed kwarg and allow it with a sternly
worded warning that it was always wrong and should never ever ever be
done.

adb1a360b9 added the feature and also the
usual meson-style warning to users that might be using the feature but
were not targeting a new enough meson version. Well unfortunately the
warning both doesn't actually work (it didn't take different directories
into account) and is also really slow because it creates an O(N^2) loop
for checking this.
Instead, rework this by adding an additional set that stores a tuple
containing the target name and its subdirectory. We only add this tuple
if the target is an executable since it is the only time it will be
relevant. After that, simply check if the name + subdir combination
already exists in the set along with the target being executable. If so,
then we execute FeatureNew which may possibly warn. This is a simply
O(1) lookup which is way faster. Fixes#12404.
Which allow passing arguments specifically to the static or shared
libraries.
For design, this is all handled in the interpreter, by the build layer
the arguments are combined into the existing fields. This limits changes
required in the mid and backend layers
This also moves the repacking into the interpreter, making the build
implementation simpler and removing a layering violation. This also
makes use a defaultdict to remove the need to call `.get()`
Way back in Meson 0.25, support was added to `vala_args` for Files.
Strangely, this was never added to any other language, though it's been
discussed before. For type safety, it makes more sense to handle this in
the interpreter level, and pass only strings into the build IR.
This is accomplished by adding a `depend_files` field to the
`BuildTarget` class (which is not exposed to the user), and adding the
depend files into that field, while converting the arguments to relative
string paths. This ensures both the proper build dependencies happen, as
well as that the arguments are always strings.
When checking target names, meson explictly forbids having multiple
targets with the same name. This is good, but it is strict and it is
impossible to have targets with the same basename and differing suffixes
(e.g. foo and foo.bin) in the same directory. Allow this for executables
by including the suffix (if it exists) in the interal target id. So foo
would be foo@exe and foo.bin would be foo.bin@exe.
This differentiates export_dynamic being explicitly set to False from it
being unset. This allows us to deprecate explicitly setting
export_dynamic to false, but setting implib. This is already the case in
the other direction, if implib is False but export_dynamic is enabled
then we get a hard error.
This also moves the validation up to the Interpreter and out of the
build level.
In commit dd22546bdd the various
typed_pos_args for different BuildTarget functions was refactored into a
common tuple of types.
It overlooked the fact that jar specifically does NOT accept the same
types, and began to allow passing structured_sources in.
