These do not go into the command line, and therefore do not matter
for the purpose of avoiding unnecessary rebuilds after meson is
rerun. However, they complicate the task of finding differences
between build lines across meson reruns.
So take the easy way out and sort everything after | and ||.
With this change, there is absolutely no change in QEMU's 40000-line
build.ninja file after meson is rerun.
There are two bugs here, first is that we open coded the output args,
instead of using the compiler method. The second is that rust args are
not passed down to the backend invocation.
Using the std option, so now `rust_std=..` will work. I've chosen to use
"std" even though rust calls these "editions", as meson refers to
language versions as "standards", which makes meson feel more uniform,
and be less surprising.

If static_library is used as a convenience library (e.g. for link_whole)
it should in principle not need position independent code.
However, if the executables that the libraries is linked to are PIE,
the non-PIC objects in the static library will cause linker errors.
To avoid this, obey b_pie for static libraries if either b_staticpic=false
or they use "pic: false".
Without this patch, QEMU cannot use b_staticpic, which causes a slowdown
on some QEMU benchmarks up to 20%.
- Fixed using debug and optimization built-in options in MSVC.
- Fixed that VS backend does not create pdb files in release mode.
VS implicitly adds the debug fields if left out.
- Fix that it is possible to add debug info with ninja backend with
optimizations.
I've always found ninja reporting 'a meson_exe.py custom command'
unclear and confusing. Instead say we are invoking a custom command,
wrapped by meson, and why.
- "Go To Document" action previously only worked
on c/cpp files which had the include directories
set but it was not possible to move from header to another header.
This reverts commit 8ee1c9a07a.
No rationale was given for this change prior to merging. After the fact
it was described as desired by distro packagers, however as a distro
packager I believe this commit hurts me.
From a distro packaging perspective, we primarily care about one thing:
previously building code should still build. Hence, -Werror is bad for
our use case. meson handles this via -D werror which is different from
-D warning_level and as long as the former is disabled, warnings in the
build do not cause harm (but may attract review attention for upstream
to fix).
buildtype is a completely unrelated concern, and the intention for
=plain is to disable debug or optimization settings that result in
codegen differences and thus different built artifacts. This must not
happen in distro builds because the *distributed programs* should
conform to policy settings.
Unfortunately, completely disabling warnings happens silently, and
cannot be overridden even if you really, really believe you know what
you're doing. It is thematically broken, since use of
add_project_arguments() to add more -W flags is not likewise ignored.
But if you try to add -Wall in that manner, meson will lecture you to
use warning_level which you cannot do. And if you have custom warning
flags which depend on options enabled by judicious use of -Wall via
default_options: 'warning_level=1', then you end up with generated
warnings complaining about your command line rather than your code, such
as:
cc1: warning: ‘-Wformat-y2k’ ignored without ‘-Wformat’ [-Wformat-y2k]
cc1: warning: ‘-Wformat-extra-args’ ignored without ‘-Wformat’ [-Wformat-extra-args]
cc1: warning: ‘-Wformat-zero-length’ ignored without ‘-Wformat’ [-Wformat-zero-length]
cc1: warning: ‘-Wformat-contains-nul’ ignored without ‘-Wformat’ [-Wformat-contains-nul]
cc1: warning: ‘-Wformat-security’ ignored without ‘-Wformat’ [-Wformat-security]
which then break the build with -Werror.
Throughout all this, a buildtype of "plain" does *not* disable -D
werror=true, which is the part where distro builds actually break down!
Users who both wish to disable debug/optimization codegen, *and* disable
warning commentary, are encouraged to do so by doing both, not by doing
one and having the other be assumed.
Fixes#7399
Don't stop generating STATIC_LINKER rules at the first MachineChoice
which isn't available (i.e. generate a STATIC_LINKER rule, even if
STATIC_LINKER_FOR_BUILD isn't needed)
Also warn about internal errors which lead to non-existent rule
references, rather than exploding with a KeyError.
This allows the NINJA environment variable to support all the Windows special
cases, especially allowing an absolute path without extension.
Based on a patch by Yonggang Luo.

Add the ids of any target that needs to be rebuilt before running the
tests as computed by the backend, to the introspection data for tests and benchmarks.
This also includes anything that appears on the test's command line.
Without this information, IDEs must update the entire build before running
any test. They can now instead selectively build the test executable
itself and anything that is needed to run it.

extra_paths only matter for the host machine if using an exe_wrapper.
However, because CustomTarget.for_machine is always MachineChoice.HOST,
they were computed unnecessarily in as_meson_exe_cmdline.
Defer computation of extra_paths until after we have found out if the
custom target executable is really for the host or the build machine,
so that we can use exe_for_machine; for_machine then becomes unused
and can be removed.

The lambda in NinjaBuildElement.write is quite expensive, totalling 0.3s
just to do a couple function calls. Since it is used just once, simply
inline it.
On a QEMU build, the total time spent in write from this series goes from
5.321s to 3.238s, though part of it can be attributed to previous patches.
Optimize the regular expression so that the variable expansion part
always ends up in group 1, and the trailer after the variable is discarded
in the same match. Do not use re.sub to remove braces, and do not bother
building the expanded command, just adjust the estimated length on the fly.
functools.reduce is extremely slow, so I am keeping ' '.join(chunk).
On a QEMU build the time spend in the function goes from 1.072s to 0.757s.
Use regular expressions to quickly weed out strings that require quoting
On a QEMU build the time spent in ninja_quote goes from 1.978s to 1.281s,
with str.replace being kicked completely out of the profile.
Without the parenthesis, the command evaluates to `[]` if
`use_llvm_cov` is `False`.
Also fix tests to actually check whether or not coverage reports are
generated.

Since -Wl,-rpath= is not the only valid rpath ldflags syntax we
need to try and match all valid rpath ldflags.
In addition we should prevent -Wl,--just-symbols from being used to
set rpath due to inconsistent compiler support.

Fixup for b4b1a2c5a1.
A warning would be printed for any rule with multiple outputs, for
example:
WARNING: custom_target 'coredump.conf.5' has more than one output! Using the first one.
WARNING: custom_target 'dnssec-trust-anchors.d.5' has more than one output! Using the first one.
WARNING: custom_target 'halt.8' has more than one output! Using the first one.

This extends the 109 generatecode test case to also define a test, so
coverage can really detect something.
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.
