And more accurate too, TBH. Currently it says it is building "lang.mo",
even though it is actually building "domain.mo" inside
lang/LC_MESSAGES/.
Since meson loudly complains if I try to name the display name
"lang/domain.mo", name it with a dash instead of a slash. The actual
name isn't a priority here IMO, and this is nicely readable.
Removed in commit 487d45c1e5 but perhaps
it should not have -- people may have been depending on ensuring those
are built somehow. Even though the internal implementation changed and
it is now built by the all target, let's keep the old target around too.
Now it just aliases the actual build rules, though.
Users may wish to make use of these files for their own purposes.
For example, the -pot and -update-po pseudo targets could be reused in
an alias_target(), and at least one person wanted to reuse the built .mo
files as custom_target input.

We have a lot of these. Some of them are harmless, if unidiomatic, such
as `if (condition)`, others are potentially dangerous `assert(...)`, as
`assert(condtion)` works as expected, but `assert(condition, message)`
will result in an assertion that never triggers, as what you're actually
asserting is `bool(tuple[2])`, which will always be true.
The sysconfig paths are, by default, correct for every OS -- they are
supposed to follow the scheme that python knows about per default.
For some reason, this overrode the scheme to posix_prefix, which is the
default for posix OSes like linux and macOS, but wrong on Windows.
Simply deleting this entirely makes everything that used to work, still
work, and a couple new things start working.
The tool needs to run the preprocessor (but does not actually produce
compiled outputs), and meanwhile ignores lots of flags it doesn't think
it needs. In the case of -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=... this is only valid if -O
is there too, but otherwise spits out confusing warnings.
The warnings are spurious and can be safely ignored, but in this case
let's go the extra mile and fix g-ir-scanner's upstream bug by removing
the fortify flag first.
Fixes#9161
rsplit(..., 1) always produces exactly one split, by design, there's no
need to then join a 1-element list via a generator comprehension after
extracting the end of it via pop. If this commit message sounds
confusing, then so was I when trying to figure out what this actually
did and if it needed extracting to PythonExternalModule.
Don't just create a .PHONY target which runs a script that magically
generates files ninja doesn't know about. It results in untracked files,
and `meson install` has to run additional commands instead of copying
over files, and then cannot track them to uninstall them later.
I'm not even really sure why it was originally done via a proxy script,
most likely bad legacy design. This is after all one of the oldest
modules...
One side effect of this is that meson doesn't know how to rename
build.CustomTarget files on install (only data files are supported?),
and every file needs to be installed as "domainname.mo" so it must be
named that in-tree too. To prevent clashes, every locale gets its own
locale-specific subdirectory.
Once we are doing that anyway, we can output them to the actual
structure required by the gettext family of functions, and
bindtextdomain() can therefore point to this location if desired. This
might be useful for running localized programs from the build tree.
When sending them to the introspection scanner, we must always filter
all compiler and linker flags, because g-ir-scanner does not accept any
random argument but only a specific subset.
Fixes: #8876
This works for `moc_*` and `ui_files`, but it never could have worked
for `qresources` due to the implementation assuming a `str` or `File`.
To restore previous compatibility I've added `CustomTarget` where it
would have worked, but not where it would have failed, the former would
raised an exception along the lines anyway.
Fixes#9007
g-ir-scanner does not convert relative -L paths to runtime paths which
are added to -Wl,-rpath and LD_LIBRARY_PATH / DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
/ PATH. This means that the local library will either not be found at
runtime (while building introspection data), or the system-wide
library will be picked instead.
See: giscanner/ccompiler.py:get_internal_link_flags() in
gobject-introspection for more details.
These were spotted by mypy and pyright. One is a string where a Path is
expected, another other is a possibly unbound variable, and the third is
bound but unused variables.
Including not calling back into `Interpreter.func_*`, which is not a
good idea both from a type saftey and perforamance point of view.
Instead there's now a shared _impl method
This is useful both from the perspective of optional functionality that
requires a module, and also as I continue to progress with Meson++,
which will probably not implement all of the modules that Meson itself
does.
