- supported as "Link with Libraries".
- Frameworks added as a group to the project
- no need to specify custom linker flags anymore, xcodeproj works just like ninja
example mason.build file :
dep_main += [dependency('appleframeworks', modules : ['Foundation', 'AppKit', 'IOKIT', 'QuartzCore', 'OpenGL', 'GLUT', 'OpenAL'], required : true)]
Note that gui_app: is currently ignored when using the ninja backend with VS
compilers, so I guess you get the default linker behaviour, which the
documentation says is guessing the subsystem depending on if a main or
WinMain symbol exists...
Module definition files may be useful when building with gcc on Windows also
(e.g. if the existing build uses them, if exports are aliased, if we were
retro enough to export by ordinal, etc.)
Add the .def file to the link command line when using gcc on Windows
Run the appropriate windows tests irrespective of compiler.
Currently only strings can be passed to the link_depends argument of
executable and *library, which solves many cases, but not every one.
This patch allows generated sources and Files to be passed as well.
On the implementation side, it uses a helper method to keep the more
complex logic separated from the __init__ method. This also requires
that Targets set their link_depends paths as Files, and the backend is
responsible for converting to strings when it wants them.
This adds tests for the following cases:
- Using a file in a subdir
- Using a configure_file as an input
- Using a custom_target as an input
It does not support using a generator as an input, since currently that
would require calling the generator twice, once for the -Wl argument,
and once for the link_depends.
Also updates the docs.
Move '-C' option into 'get_always_args' as we always generate C sources.
Add a branch in the dependency management to perform Vala-specific work
of adding '--pkg' and '--target-glib'.
Allow users to specify @CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR@ in generator arguments
to specify the current target source directory.
This is useful when creating protobuf generator objects in sub-directories
because protoc will then generate files in the expected location.
Fixes#1622.
Remove stray semicolon
Update documentation
Meson has a common pattern of using 'if len(foo) == 0:' or
'if len(foo) != 0:', however, this is a common anti-pattern in python.
Instead tests for emptiness/non-emptiness should be done with a simple
'if foo:' or 'if not foo:'
Consider the following:
>>> import timeit
>>> timeit.timeit('if len([]) == 0: pass')
0.10730923599840025
>>> timeit.timeit('if not []: pass')
0.030033907998586074
>>> timeit.timeit('if len(['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']) == 0: pass')
0.1154778649979562
>>> timeit.timeit("if not ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']: pass")
0.08259823200205574
>>> timeit.timeit('if len("") == 0: pass')
0.089759664999292
>>> timeit.timeit('if not "": pass')
0.02340641999762738
>>> timeit.timeit('if len("foo") == 0: pass')
0.08848102600313723
>>> timeit.timeit('if not "foo": pass')
0.04032287199879647
And for the one additional case of 'if len(foo.strip()) == 0', which can
be replaced with 'if not foo.isspace()'
>>> timeit.timeit('if len(" ".strip()) == 0: pass')
0.15294511600222904
>>> timeit.timeit('if " ".isspace(): pass')
0.09413968399894657
>>> timeit.timeit('if len(" abc".strip()) == 0: pass')
0.2023209120015963
>>> timeit.timeit('if " abc".isspace(): pass')
0.09571301700270851
In other words, it's always a win to not use len(), when you don't
actually want to check the length.
Use a titlecase for arbitrary language, this was we don't have 'C' in
lowercase.
Rename 'Static linking library $out' for 'Linking static target $out.'.
Add missing punctuation.
We receive these options from the 'argparse' module in a random
order. To ensure the build.ninja file doesn't include random variations
we should sort them before writing them back out.
We were more hesitant to do this earlier because it might have messed
up custom_target command lines, but since we always use a wrapper for
that now, it should be ok to do this.
Add a test in the form of a funky generator script.
