The compilers module is rather large and confusing, with spaghetti
dependencies going every which way. I'm planning to start breaking out
the internal representations into a mixins submodule, for things that
shouldn't be required outside of the compilers module itself.
* correct handling of LDFLAGS in find_library and sanity_check on MSVC (fixes#3629)
The MSVC compiler requires all linker flags to be placed after the compiler flags, separated by a "/link" argument. This was already handled for regular linking commands, but not yet for the aforementioned special code paths.
* on MSVC, add /link separator between compiler and linker flags when it is missing
* avoid unnecessary /link argument
A compiler or other tool with an empty string as name does not make
sense as it anyway can not be used and causes a failure later in
parse_entry.
Fix#5451
Cmake ignores shared vs dynamic linking, and always returns static. This
went unnoticed, but results in regresssions for mesa. We need to fix
cmake, but with 0.51.1 due out shortly switching the order provides a
quick fix to restore expected functionality seems acceptable.
Fixes#5568
There are two problems with this:
- It has false positives when the code that trips it is conditional and
no run on cross.
- It confuses users who never wrote any `native` flags and don't care
about cross.
Fixes#5509
- AttributeError: 'ValaCompiler' object has no attribute 'get_program_dirs'
Fixed by adding a `get_program_dirs()` function to the base Compiler
class, to match `get_library_dirs()`
- KeyError: 'vala_COMPILER'
Fixed by creating the Vala compile rules for all machines, not just
the build machine.
This further simplifies behavior to match the "build vs host" decision
we did with `c_args` vs `build_c_args`. The rules are now simply:
- `native: true` affects `native: true` targets
- `native: false` affects `native: false` targets
- No native flag is the same as `native: false`
I like this because you don't even have to know what "build" and "host"
mean to understand how it works, and it doesn't depend on whether the
overall build is cross or not.
