The rust code is ugly, because rust is annoying. It doesn't invoke a
linker directly (unless that linker is link.exe or lld-link.exe),
instead it invokes the C compiler (gcc or clang usually) to do it's
linking. Meson doesn't have good abstractions for this, though we
probably should because some of the D compilers do the same thing.
Either that or we should just call the c compiler directly, like vala
does.
This changes the public interface for meson, which we don't do unless we
absolutely have to. In this case I think we need to do it. A fair number
of projects have already been using 'ld' in their cross/native files to
get the ld binary and call it directly in custom_targets or generators,
and we broke that. While we could hit this problem again names like
`c_ld` and `cpp_ld` are far less likely to cause collisions than `ld`.
Additionally this gives a way to set the linker on a per-compiler basis,
which is probably in itself very useful.

* environment: Fix passing always args to a number of less common linkers
These are mostly (oops xilink) proprietary linkers I can't use for
various reasons.
Fixes: #6332
* Add intelfix from scivision.
* Ifort fix from scivision.
* PGI fix from scivision.
* Cuda fix from scivision.
* Fix linker passing for armclang.
If a user passes -fuse-ld=gold to gcc or clang, they expect that they'll
get ld.gold, not whatever the default is. Meson currently doesn't do
that, because it doesn't pass these arguments to the linker detection
logic. This patch fixes that. Another case that this is needed is with
clang's --target option
This is a bad solution, honestly, and it would be better to use $LD or a
cross/native file but this is needed for backwards compatability.
Fixes#6057
This dumps xild on mac and linux. After a lot of reading and banging my
head I've discovered we (meson) don't care about xild, xild is only
useful if your invoke ld directly (not through icc/icpc) and you want to
do ipo/lto/wpo. Instead just make icc report what it's actually doing,
invoking ld or ld64 (for linux and mac respectively) directly. This
allows us to get -fuse-ld working on linux.
Since I spent three days banging my head against this it seems
reasonable that other people might also run into this problem. It can
happen if you're trying to use microsoft's link.exe, but also have the
dmd bin directory at the tail of your %PATH%, among other reasons.
Since we pass the whole compiler class (as a type()) we don't need to
also pass it's LINKER_PREFIX attribute, we can just get it from the
type we're passing.
Rather than trying to figure out if we're using MSVC based on
environment variables, then trying to get the C compiler and test some
attributes, get the C compiler and see if it's MSVC. This is much more
reliable and we were already doing it anyway.
Since version 9.1, GCC provides support for the D programming language. Thus it
is easy to build a cross-compiler for D, such as aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu-gdc.
However to cross-compile a Meson project using D, using a cross build definition
such as the following is not enough:
```
[binaries]
d = '/path/to/aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu-gdc'
exe_wrapper = '/path/to/qemu-aarch64-static'
[properties]
needs_exe_wrapper = true
[host_machine]
system = 'linux'
cpu_family = 'aarch64'
cpu = 'cortex-a53'
endian = 'little'
```
Indeed, "exe_wrapper" is not be taken into account. Build will fail with:
```
Executables created by D compiler /path/to/aarch64-uknown-linux-gnu-gdc are not runnable.
```
This patch fixes this by reworking:
- detect_d_compiler() to properly get exe_wrapper and D compilers and detect the
one available.
- Dcompiler to properly handle exe_wrapper.
fixes regression for systems with nvcc installed--perhaps why not previously caught on CI.
Just a simple typo--missing a positional argument to CudaCompiler()
0c22798b1a is the first bad commit File

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
This is similar to what we currently do for scan-build except there is
no environment variable to choose a specific clang-format to run. If an
environment variable is needed for better control, we can add it later.
Both scan-build and llvm-config need the same list of LLVM version
suffixes. It is better to keep the list at a common place instead of
having several copies in different files, which is likely to become
out-of-sync when the list is updated.
Versioning of executables is not related to the operating system kernel.
It is possible for a Linux distribution to support multiple versions of
LLVM in a way similar to FreeBSD. For example, on Debian, you can use
'apt install clang-tools-7' to install the versioned 'scan-build-7'
executable without bringing the unversioned 'scan-build' into the
environment. Therefore, we should not skip the version list on Linux.
It also makes it consistent with the behavior of llvm dependency, which
does not change the search list depending on the operating system.
This commit also fixes the version suffix for Debian. Debian stops using
the minor version number on the executable after version 7, so it should
be 'scan-build-7', not 'scan-build-7.0'.
This is a follow-up of https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/5918.
Detect scan-build the same way when trying to launch it and when
generating the target.
The detection method is:
1. look within SCANBUILD env variable
2. shutil.which('scan-build')
3. *on non-linux platforms only*: go through all the possible
name candidates and test them individually.
The third step is added following this comment
https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/5857#issuecomment-528305788
However, going through a list of all the possible candidates is neither
easily maintainable nor performant, and is therefore skipped on
platforms that should not require such a step (currently, only Linux
platforms).
This is a follow-up to the issue raised by @lantw44 during PR:
https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/5857
Solaris 11.3 & earlier sent the --version output to stderr, but
Solaris 11.4 moved it to stdout in an attempt to be more compatible
with the GNU tools, so look for it in both streams of output.

llvm-mingw uses a wrapper script to inject (among other things) a
-target argument into the clang command, which breaks -Wl,--version.
This confuses Meson into thinking the linker is some unknown version of
Apple ld, which breaks builds.
This patch makes it detect and recover from the issue.
