There are cases when it is useful to wrap the main meson executable with
a script that sets up environment variables, passes --cross-file, etc.
For example, in a Yocto SDK, we need to point to the right meson.cross
so that everything "just works", and we need to alter CC, CXX, etc. In
such cases, it can happen that the "meson" found in the path is actually
a wrapper script that invokes the real meson, which may be in another
location (e.g. "meson.real" or similar).
Currently, in such a situation, meson gets confused because it tries to
invoke itself using the "meson" executable (which points to the wrapper
script) instead of the actual meson (which may be called "meson.real" or
similar). In fact, the wrapper script is not necessarily even Python, so
the whole thing fails.
Fix this by using Python imports to directly find mesonmain.py instead
of trying to detect it heuristically. In addition to fixing the wrapper
issue, this should make the detection logic much more robust.
Currently, commandrunner breaks when we give options to python because
it assumes python commands are in the form "python script.py", rather
than "python -u script.py" or "python -u -m module script.py". Extend it
to be more resilient and correctly parse python options.
Currently, ExternalProgram get_path() assumes the last component in the
path is always the actual command path. However, this is not always
right. For example, in the command "python -u", we should return
"python" and not "-u". However, in other cases, like "python script.py",
then the last component is the right one.
The heuristic that seems to capture this is to use the last argument
that is still a file. This means options get ignored, but "python
script.py" still works. Let's use this heuristic, at least for now.
This checks not only for existence, but also for usability of the
header, which means it does a full compilation and not just
pre-processing or __has_include.

Simplify support for alternate bases using int(..., base=0) which
auto-detects it using the standard Python syntax for numbers.
Octal numbers are useful to specify permission bits and umasks.
Binary numbers are not super useful... But considering we get them for
free, let's allow them here too.
v2: Tweak the regex so it doesn't accept a decimal number with a leading
zero, which is invalid for int(..., base=0) and would raise a ValueError
if passed around.
This will copy the file to the build directory without trying to read
it or substitute values into it.
Also do this optimization if the configuration_data() object passed to
the `configuration:` kwarg is empty, and print a warning about it.

* mesonbuild/compilers/c.py: Make the `find_library` method more generic by allowing the user to supply the `code` for compiling and linking.
* mesonbuild/compilers/fortran.py: Use the methods inherited from `Compiler` base class where appropriate. Also reuse `CComiler` methods where applicable. This should be sufficient to get various compiler/linker arguments as well as to compile and link Fortran programs. This was tested with `gfortran` compiler, and while the other compilers ought to work for simple cases, their methods are primarily inherited from the base `FortranCompiler` class.
* test cases/fortran/10 find library/gzip.f90: Fortran module with some basic Fortran wrapper interfaces to `gzopen`, `gzwrite`, and `gzclose` C `zlib` functions.
* test cases/fortran/10 find library/main.f90: Fortran program using the `gzip` Fortran interface module to write some data to a gzip file.
* test cases/fortran/10 find library/meson.build: Meson build file for this test case. This demonstrates the ability to link the Fortran program against an external library.
For now dicts are immutable, and do not expose any methods,
they however support "native" syntax such as [] lookup,
and foreach iterating, and can be printed.
The fallback might be not used not only because it couldn't be found, but
also because something went wrong trying to use it.
Also, update a test which relies on the specific text
To allow the javac -implicit:class behaviour to know where to find
generated .java files then the build directory for the target is also
added to the -sourcefile path.
Although only one file is passed to javac at a time, if your code has
any inter-file dependencies javac still needs to know how to find other
source files for its -implicit:class feature to work whereby it will
automatically also compile files that the given file depends on.
-implicit:class is the default, practical, behaviour of javac since
otherwise it would be necessary to declare the class dependencies
for parallel java builds to be feasible.
Passing "include_directory: include_directory('.')" to jar() causes
-souredir <path/to/top/of/java/src> to be passed to javac which then
enables your source code to have inter-file class dependencies -
assuming none of your source code is generated.
This ensures that '.' is included by default.
The -sourcepath option can't be passed multiple times to javac, since it
simply overrides prior arguments. Instead -sourcepath takes a colon (or
semi-colon on windows) separated list of paths.
It seems that some projects relied on the previously buggy
behaviour of accepting a 2-element list as the single argument
to configuration_data.set().
Special-case this behaviour, and emit a deprecation message.
We were setting it to a file list that would always be wrong, and
always out of date since it would never exist.
However, the output list is not predictable. It usually has a 1-1
relationship with the input XML files, but it may not.
This must be fixed later with API for users to provide the output
names.

If we pass a source files() object, we will look for it in the build
directory, which is wrong. If we pass a build files() object (from
configure_file()), we will find it in the build directory, and then
try to copy it on top of itself in gtkdochelper.py getting a
SameFileError.
Add a test for it, and also properly iterate custom target outputs
when adding to content files.
The fix has landed upstream, and will be in the next glib stable
release. I have verified that it fixes the problem described in #3488
and that the 'frameworks/7 gnome' test passes now.
The new --body and --header args are broken because they do not allow
the use of --output-directory to set the correct `#include "foo.h"`
line in `foo.c`. The changes in the gdbus test case show this.
Disabled till this can be fixed in glib.
