Since the CompileArgs class already needs to know about the compiler,
and we really need at least per-lanaguage if not per-compiler
CompilerArgs classes, let's get the CompilerArgs instance from the
compiler using a method.
It's assumed that where we use DEPFILE in command or rspfile_content, it
can be quoted by quoting the ninja variable (e.g. $DEPFILE ->
'$DEPFILE')
This is nearly always true, but not for gcc response files, where
backslash is always an escape, even inside single quotes.
So this fails if the value of DEPFILE contains backslashes (e.g. a
Windows path)
Do some special casing, adding DEPFILE_UNQUOTED, so that the value of
depfile is not shell quoted (so ninja can use it to locate the depfile
to read), but the value of DEPFILE used in command or rspfile_content is
shell/response file quoted)
(It would seem this also exists as a more general problem with built-in
ninja variables: '$out' appearing in command is fine, unless one of the
output filenames contains a single quote. Although forbidding shell
metacharacters in filenames seems a reasonable way to solve that.)
(How does this even work, currently? Backslashes in the value of all
ninja variables, including DEPFILE were escaped, which protected them
against being treated as escapes in the gcc response file. And
fortunately, the empty path elements indicated by a double backslash in
the value of depfile are ignored when ninja opens that file to read it.)
Now that all command-line escaping for ninja is dealt with in the ninja
backend, escape_extra_args() shouldn't need to do anything.
But tests of existing behaviour rely on all backslashes in defines being
C escaped: This means that Windows-style paths including backslashes can
be safely used, but makes it impossible to have a define containing a C
escape.
We avoided having to get this right previously, as we'd always use a
response file if possible.
But this is so insane, I can't imagine it's right.

In certain exotic configurations, the style of quoting expected in the
response file may not match that expected by the shell.
e.g. under MSYS2, ninja invokes commands via CreateProcess (which
results in cmd-style quoting processed by parse_cmdline or
CommandLineToArgvW), but gcc will use sh-style quoting in any response
file it reads.
Future work: The rspfile quoting style should be a method of the
compiler or linker object, rather than hardcoded in ninjabackend.
(In fact, can_linker_accept_rsp() should be extended to do this, since
if we can accept rsp, we should know the quoting style)
Rather than ad-hoc avoiding quoting where harmful, identify arguments
which contain shell constructs and ninja variables, and don't apply
quoting to those arguments.
This is made more complex by some arguments which might contain ninja
variables anywhere, not just at start, e.g. '/Fo$out'
(This implementation would fall down if there was an argument which
contained both a literal $ or shell metacharacter and a ninja variable,
but there are no instances of such a thing and it seems unlikely)
$DEPFILE needs special treatment. It's used in the special variable
depfile, so it's value can't be shell quoted (as it used as a filename
to read by ninja). So instead that variable needs to be shell quoted
when it appears in a command.
(Test common/129, which uses a depfile with a space in it's name,
exercises that)
If 'targetdep' is not in raw_names, test cases/rust all fail.
We need to count rsp and non-rsp references separately, which we need to
do after build statement variables have been set so we can tell the
difference, which introduces a bit of complexity.
Writing rsp files on Windows is moderately expensive, so only use them
when the command line is long enough to need them.
This also makes the output of 'ninja -v' useful more often (something
like 'cl @exec@exe/main.c.obj.rsp' is not very useful if you don't have
the response file to look at)
For a rule where using a rspfile is possible, write rspfile and
non-rspfile versions of that rule. Choose which one to use for each
build statement, depending on the anticpated length of the command line.
D lang compilers have an option -release (or similar) which turns off
asserts, contracts, and other runtime type checking. This patch wires
that up to the b_ndebug flag.
Fixes#7082
A current rather untyped storage of options is one of the things that
contributes to the options code being so complex. This takes a small
step in synching down by storing the compiler options in dicts per
language.
Future work might be replacing the langauge strings with an enum, and
defaultdict with a custom struct, just like `PerMachine` and
`MachineChoice`.
This make relative pathes shorter an too give a chance to
de-duplicate -isystem flags just like -I flags.

When a source file for a library is changed without adding new extern
symbols, only that library should be rebuilt. Nothing that uses it
should be relinked.
Along the way, also remove trailing `.` in all Ninja rule
descriptions. It's very confusing to see messages like:
```
Linking target mylib.dll.
```
It's confusing that the period at the end of that is not part of the
filename. Instead of removing that period manually in the tests (which
feels wrong!) just don't print it at all.
We actually use this while linking on Windows, and hence we need to
extract symbols from this file, and not the DLL.
However, we cannot pass it instead of the DLL because it's an optional
output of the compiler. It will not be written out at all if there are
no symbols in the DLL, and we cannot know that at configure time. This
means we cannot describe it as an output of any ninja target, or the
input of any ninja target. We must pass it as an argument without
semantic meaning.
This is more correct, and forces the target(s) to be rebuilt if the
PDB files are missing. Increases the minimum required Ninja to 1.7,
which is available in Ubuntu 16.04 under backports.
We can't do the same for import libraries, because it is impossible
for us to know at configure time whether or not an import library will
be generated for a given DLL.
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.
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:
