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.
On Windows, the basename is used to determine the name of the PDB
file. So for a project called myproject, we will create myproject.dll
and myproject.exe, both of which will have myproject.pdb. This is
a file collision. Instead, append `_test`, similar to the C# template.
Fixes AllPlatformTest.test_templates on MSVC. This became a hard error
when we started listing PDBs in the implicit outputs list of ninja
targets.
Do the same for a test that was making the same mistake.
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.
-g is --extern-only and -P is --format=posix. We were missing
--defined-only for some reason, which we pass to `nm` on Linux.
This avoids having to manually filter later.
When `--only-changed` is passed, we only want to know about files that
were newly-installed. Everything else is noise. The full list can
always be found in `install-log.txt` anyway. Sample output:
```
ninja: Entering directory `.'
ninja: no work to do.
Preserved 667 unchanged files, see meson-logs\install-log.txt for the full list
```
Debian's lintian checker complaints when upstream tarballs contain an
.hgtags file.
This excludes ".hg[a-z]*". This is mostly consistent with the git
handling in del_gitfiles() which deletes .git*. hg archive --help shows
an example of -X ".hg*". However, instead of ".hg*", I have used
".hg[a-z]*" to keep the automatically added hg_archival.txt. This file
may be useful to link the tarball to the Mercurial revision for either
manual inspection or in case any code interprets it for a --version or
similar.
This also excludes .hgignore and other things like .hgflow, which seems
desirable.
Fixes#6575
This move the sorting logic into the TestDef class itself, which
simplifies sorting them.
Additionally it remove overcomplicated sort logic, because python
strings are compared character by character, we don't need to do the
split and cast to int, we know that realistically a maximum of 4
characters (the first 4 numbers) are going to be compared in most cases.
Currently it's just like if all builtin/base/compiler options are
yielding. This patch makes possible to have non-yielding builtin
options. The value in is overriden in this order:
- Value from parent project
- Value from subproject's default_options if set
- Value from subproject() default_options if set
- Value from command line if set
The documentation of "order-only" dependencies is limited and their
various purposes are especially not clear. See issue #6391 for a recent
example, search the internet for many more. So mention the particular
purpose here while making the documentation barely longer.
Sometimes qt can be installed not as framework on MacOS. One way to
achieve this behaviour is to use conan package manager.
Allow falling back to simple library search if framework was
not found. In addition, allow to find the debug version of qt debug
libraries which have "_debug" suffix added to them.
Fixes#5091
This allows Meson native-file [properties] to be used.
This avoids the need to call meson from a script file or have a
long command line invocation of `meson setup`
The method meson.get_native_property('prop', 'fallback') is added.
The native file can contain properties like
```
[properties]
myprop1 = 'foo'
mydir2 = 'lib/custom'
```
Then from within `meson.build`
```meson
x1 = meson.get_native_property('myprop1')
thedir = meson.get_native_property('mydir2', 'libs')
```
fallback values are optional
