This reverts commit f52bcaa27f.
It did not pass CI, and was merged anyway because there were two CI
errors in the same cygwin job. The other error was not the fault of this
commit, and since cygwin errors were glossed over because they were
"expected", the presence of a new error *added* by this commit was
overlooked.
Per the meson development policy, PRs which result in CI errors
can/should be reverted at will, no questions asked.
In commit f52bcaa27f a few issues were
added:
- doc typo
- imports for utils.universal are not intended to be directly used, it's
an internal wrapper that exists solely to make mesonlib work well as
it always did while simultaneously allowing `meson --internal`
codepaths to avoid importing anything other than an extremely stripped
down core
- type annotation specific import was imported at runtime scope
`configure_file` is both an extremely complicated implementation, and
a strange place for copying. It's a bit of a historical artifact, since
the fs module didn't yet exist. It makes more sense to move this to the
fs module and deprecate this `configure_file` version.
This new version works at build time rather than configure time, which
has the disadvantage it can't be passed to `run_command`, but with the
advantage that changes to the input don't require a full reconfigure.
Following #7890, this patch introduces the ability to read the contents
of a file to the fs module.
This patch introduces the ability to read files at configure time, but
has some restrictions:
- binary files are not supported (I don't think this will prove a
problem, and if people are wanting to do something with binary
files, they should probably be shelling out to their own script).
- Only files outside the build directory allowed. This limitation
should prevent build loops.
Given that reading an arbitrary file at configure time can affect the
configuration in almost arbitrary ways, meson should force a reconfigure
when the given file changes. This is non-configurable, but this can
easily be changed with a future keyword argument.
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
is_samepath better reflects the nature of this function--that files
and directories can be compared.
Also, instead of raising exceptions, simply return False when one
or both .is_samepath(path1, path1) don't exist. This is more
intuitive behavior and avoids having an extra if fs.exist() to go
with every fs.is_samepath()
