The test.json format currently has three keys related to skipping tests:
* `skip_on_jobname`
* `skip_on_os`
* `skip_on_env`
While `skip_on_env` marks the test itself as skipped, i.e. they don't get run when the
conditions are met, the other two skip options are just marking the test as "expected to be skipped"
if the conditions apply, i.e. they want to see `MESON_SKIP_TEST` in the output and things will
fail if that doesn't happen. They don't actually skip the tests as the names imply.
To make this clearer rename the keys:
* `skip_on_jobname` -> `expect_skip_on_jobname`
* `skip_on_os` -> `expect_skip_on_os`
`skip_on_env` stays the same, since that actually skips.
The docs were also confused about this, so adjust that too.
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
determine_rpath_dirs() can return paths to external dependencies not
in the build dir and passing them first as a link path leads to
g-ir-scanner for example linking against the already installed library
instead of the just built one.
This was reported in g-i: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gobject-introspection/issues/272
and comes up quite often when a library adds some new symbols which aren't present in the
system library, which then makes linking fail.
The first place where the order is changed is _scan_gir_targets(), which looks like an unintentional
change in the refactoring in 8377ea45aa
The second place in _get_link_args() has always been that way and only the rpath order is changed,
but it looks to me as if the same rules should apply here too.
