Do not run tests that use integers in versions with compiler that do
not support them.
Old versions of GDC supported plain integers in version and debug
strings but they are deprecated and GDC 13 hard errors on them.
These result in very large binaries when linked, and are not generally
useful. A user can turn them back on by passing `-C overflow-checks=yes`
manually via `-Drust_args` or the `RUSTFLAGS` environment variable
fixes: #11785
In order to pass a File object down into the compiler impl and compile
it, we cannot pass a string with the filename, and we cannot either pass
the File object as-is, since it relies on being given Environment
attributes to calculate the relative location. So we build a fresh File
object as an absolute path.
But the code to do this was totally broken. Instead of using the File
method to get an absolute path, we used one that expected to create
builddir-relative paths... and then gave it the absolute source dir as
the "relative path portion" prefix. This worked by accident as long as
it wasn't a built File, but if it was a built file then we intentionally
didn't include that prefix -- which was wrong anyway, since we need the
build directory!
Use the correct method to get an absolute path in all cases, and emit a
warning if it was a built file. This never worked. Sometimes it crashed,
sometimes it silently returned false.
Fixes#11983
On windows, meson would mix posix and windows dir separators in the
computed PACKAGE_RELATIVE_PATH.
Here we force posix directory separator even on Windows. This matches
the CMake behavior and fixes interpretation of the resulting path.

By specifiying explicit encodings, we can silence warnings like:
/__w/meson/meson/test cases/common/100 postconf with args/postconf.py:15: EncodingWarning: 'encoding' argument not specified
with open(input_file) as f:
in CI.
Replace unencodable XML chars with their printable representation, so
that, xmllint can parse test outputs without error.

This fixes regression caused by
3162b901ca
that changes the order in which libraries are put on the link command.
In addition, that commit was wrong because libraries from dependencies
were processed before process_compiler() is called, which that commit
wanted to avoid.
This reverts commit 904b47085f.
This is not a real bottleneck, and we want to create it thrice -- once
before the backend is generated. The final install data needs to be
created fresh.
Update unittest to demonstrate the issue.
Fixes https://bugs.gentoo.org/910050
* Capture all compile args from the first round of ninja backend generation for all languages used in building the targets so that these args, defines, and include paths can be applied to the .vcxproj's intellisense fields for all buildtypes/configurations.
Solution generation is now set up for mutiple build configurations (buildtypes) when using '--genvslite'.
All generated vcxprojs invoke the same high-level meson compile to build all targets; there's no selective target building (could add this later). Related to this, we skip pointlessly generating vcxprojs for targets that aren't buildable (BuildTarget-derived), which aren't of interest to the user anyway.
When using --genvslite, no longer inject '<ProjectReference ...>' dependencies on which a generated .vcxproj depends because that imposes a forced visual studio build dependency, which we don't want, since we're essentially bypassing VS's build in favour of running 'meson compile ...'.
When populating the vcxproj's shared intellisense defines, include paths, and compiler options fields, we choose the most frequent src file language, since this means more project src files can simply reference the project shared fields and fewer files of non-primary language types need to populate their full set of intellisense fields. This makes for smaller .vcxproj files.
Paths for generated source/header/etc files, left alone, would be added to solution projects relative to the '..._vs' build directory, where they're never generated; they're generated under the respective '..._[debug/opt/release]' ninja build directories that correspond to the solution build configuration. Although VS doesn't allow conditional src/header listings in vcxprojs (at least not in a simple way that I'm aware of), we can ensure these generated sources get adjusted to at least reference locations under one of the concrete build directories (I've chosen '..._debug') under which they will be generated.
Testing with --genvslite has revealed that, in some cases, the presence of 'c:\windows\system32;c:\windows' on the 'Path' environment variable (via the make-style project's ExecutablePath element) is critical to getting the 'meson compile ...' build to succeed. Not sure whether this is some 'find and guess' implicit defaults behaviour within meson or within the MSVC compiler that some projects may rely on. Feels weird but not sure of a better solution than forcibly adding these to the Path environment variable (the Executable Path property of the project).
Added a new windows-only test to windowstests.py ('test_genvslite') to exercise the --genvslite option along with checking that the 'msbuild' command invokes the 'meson compile ...' of the build-type-appropriate-suffixed temporary build dir and checks expected program output.
Check and report error if user specifies a non-ninja backend with a 'genvslite' setup, since that conflicts with the stated behaviour of genvslite. Also added this test case to 'WindowsTests.test_genvslite'
I had problems tracking down some problematic environment variable behaviour, which appears to need a work-around. See further notes on VSINSTALLDIR, in windowstests.py, test_genvslite.
'meson setup --help' clearly states that positional arguments are ... [builddir] [sourcedir]. However, BasePlatformTests.init(...) was passing these in the order [sourcedir] [builddir]. This was producing failures, saying, "ERROR: Neither directory contains a build file meson.build." but when using the correct ordering, setup now succeeds.
Changed regen, run_tests, and run_install utility projects to be simpler makefile projects instead, with commands to invoke the appropriate '...meson.py --internal regencheck ...' (or install/test) on the '[builddir]_[buildtype]' as appropriate for the curent VS configuration. Also, since the 'regen.vcxproj' utility didn't work correctly with '--genvslite' setup build dirs, and getting it to fully work would require more non-trivial intrusion into new parts of meson (i.e. '--internal regencheck', '--internal regenerate', and perhaps also 'setup --reconfigure'), for now, the REGEN project is replaced with a simpler, lighter-weight RECONFIGURE utility proj, which is unlinked from any solution build dependencies and which simply runs 'meson setup --reconfigure [builddir]_[buildtype] [srcdir]' on each of the ninja-backend build dirs for each buildtype.
Yes, although this will enable the building/compiling to be correctly configured, it can leave the solution/vcxprojs stale and out-of-date, it's simple for the user to 'meson setup --genvslite ...' to fully regenerate an updated, correct solution again. However, I've noted this down as a 'fixme' to consider implementing the full regen behaviour for the genvslite case.
* Review feedback changes -
- Avoid use of 'captured_compile_args_per_buildtype_and_target' as an 'out' param.
- Factored a little msetup.py, 'run(...)' macro/looping setup steps, for genvslite, out into a 'run_genvslite_setup' func.
* Review feedback: Fixed missing spaces between multi-line strings.
* 'backend_name' assignment gets immediately overwritten in 'genvslite' case so moved it into else/non-genvslite block.
* Had to bump up 'test cases/unit/113 genvslites/...' up to 114; it collided with a newly added test dir again.
* Changed validation of 'capture' and 'captured_compile_args_...' to use MesonBugException instead of MesonException.
* Changed some function param and closing brace indentation.
Rust by default links with the default MSVCRT, (dynamic, release).
MSVCRT's cannot be mixed, so if Meson compiles a C or C++ library and
links it with the debug MSVCRT, then tries to link that with the Rust
library there will be failures. There is no built-in way to fix this for
rustc, so as a workaround we inject the correct arguments early in the
linker line (before any libs at least) to change the runtime. This seems
to work and is recommended as workaround in the upstream rust bug
report: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/39016.
Given that this bug report has been opened since 2017, it seems unlikely
to be fixed anytime soon, and affects all (currently) released versions
of Rust.
This reverts commit a2def550c5.
This results in a 2k line file being unconditionally imported at
startup, and transitively loading two more (for a total cost of 2759
lines of code), and it's not clear it was ever needed to begin with...
This saves on a 1500-line import at startup and may be skipped entirely
if no compiled languages are used. In exchange, we move the
implementation to a new file that is imported instead.
Followup to commit ab20eb5bbc.
We don't need a CMakeInterpreter until and unless we actually attempt to
use a cmake subproject via the cmake module.
Minus 10 files and 3679 lines of code imported at startup.
This lessens the amount of code imported at Meson startup by mapping
each dependency to a dictionary entry and using a programmable import to
dynamically return it.
Minus 16 files and 6399 lines of code imported at startup.
We expose detect.py as the mesonbuild.dependencies entrypoint and import
it upfront everywhere. But unless the `dependency()` function is
actually invoked, we don't need *any* of the private implementations for
this.
Avoid doing so until, as part of actual dependency lookup, we attempt
that specific dependency method. This avoids importing big modules if
`method:` is specified, and in most cases hopefully pkg-config works and
we can avoid importing the cmake implementation particularly.
Actually avoiding most of these imports requires more refactoring. But
even so, the garden path no longer needs to import the dub dependency
impl.
I noticed when building a project that uses a proc macro that Meson
passed -C prefer-dynamic for the executable, and not the proc macro,
while cargo passed -C prefer-dynamic for the proc macro, but not for
the executable. Meson's behavior broke setting -C panic=abort on the
executable.
As far as we can tell, because we explicitly pass each library path to
rustc, the only thing -C prefer-dynamic affects in Meson is how the
standard libraries are linked. Generally, one does not want the
standard libraries to be dynamically linked, because if the Rust
compiler is ever updated, anything linked against the old standard
libraries will likely break, due to the lack of a stable Rust ABI.
Therefore, I've reorganised Meson's behavior around the principle that
the standard libraries should only be dynamically linked when Rust
dynamic linking has already been opted into in some other way. The
details of how this manifests are now explained in the documentation.
The new splitlines method on str is intended to replace usage of
fs.read('whatever').strip().split('\n').
The problem with the .strip().split() approach is that it doesn't have a
way to represent empty lists (an empty string becomes a list with one
empty string, not an empty list), and it doesn't handle Windows-style
line endings.
In commit 89146e84c9 we added some
complicated code to verify the llvm framework's "combination" matrix
lookup. It expects to find llvm with both cmake and config-tool, with
the same version. But the sanity check is wonky -- it checks that both
have the same found status, instead, so if both are not found then we
proceed to try to convert the string "unknown" to a mapping of semver
integers, and this is guaranteed to fail.
This can happen for example if the system llvm exists in the general
case, but actual modules cannot be found because the system llvm does
not distribute static modules. For example, this is the case on Gentoo.
Abort more obviously by just insisting that both be found. If they
aren't both found, then investigative efforts know to look at why they
weren't found.
This issue was encounetered while working on a contribution to nixpkgs.
Nix allows the store to be installed on a separate, case-sensitive APFS
volume. When the store is on a case-sensitive volume, these tests fail
because they try to use `foundation` instead of `Foundation`.
Currently you can only use one of qt4, qt5, qt6 in a single project
when using a machine file because the config-tool lookup for qt only
looks at `qmake` in the machine files, instead of looking up the
binary names directly.
Allow specifying `qmake` `qmake4` `qmake5` and `qmake6`.
This is necessary for gstreamer, which can build separate qt5 and qt6
plugins that are distributed as static libraries, so the user can pick
which one to use.
* DubDependency._check_dub returns the version
* check for compatible Dub version
Dub versions starting at 1.32 have a new cache structure
into which Meson doesn't know where to find compatible artifacts
* skipping D tests involving Dub
* refactor _check_dub
makes mypy happier
* make linters happy
* localize some logic
This matches the tests for Python extensions.
Also include some other cleanups to these `meson.build` files:
Adding `python_dep` is no longer needed, this is automatic now.
Use a single line for `import('python').find_installation()`,
because the result of `import('python')` by itself is not used
for anything.
For all source `*.py` files installed via either py.install_sources() or
an `install_dir: py.get_install_dir()`, produce `*.pyc` files at install
time. Controllable via a module option.
Case 1:
- Prog links to static lib A
- A link_whole to static lib B
- B link to static lib C
- Prog dependencies should be A and C but not B which is already
included in A.
Case 2:
- Same as case 1, but with A being installed.
- To be useful, A must also include all objects from C that is not
installed.
- Prog only need to link on A.
