* Archive shared library in AIX
This code change to ensure we archive shared libraries in AIX.
The things we do are:
Archive shared library
Install archived shared library
Build all must build the archived shared library
blibpath must have the archived shared library dependency.
* Archive shared library in AIX.
Made changes as per the review comments given in the first
PR request.
They are:-
Use self.environment.machines[t.for_machine].is_aix()
Remove trial spaces
Use of val instead of internal
Changed comments wherever requested
* Space after octothorpe
* Fixed failed test case causing build break during install section
* Moved AIX specific code to AIXDynamicLinker from backend
* Fix indentation, trailing spaces, add type annotations and Linux/macOS build break
* Remove some more trailing space issues
* Fixed the wrong return type in linkers
It's currently impossible to inject extra clang arguments when using
bindgen, which is problematic when cross compiling since you may need
critical arguments like `--target=...`. Because such arguments must be
passed after the `--` it's impossible to inject them currently without
going to something like a wrapper script.
Fixes: #11805
Meson internally knows about many languages and tools, and *FLAGS
variables, and which languages to use them for. Instead of duplicating
this logic, import it from mesonbuild.*
This logic was originally standalone, but now that it is merged into the
Meson tree we can have a single source of truth.
It looks like internally we use pkgconfig, even though the installed
name is pkg-config. This fixes `tests cases/common/44 pkgconfig-gen`,
which will ignore PKG_CONFIG and select the wrong pkg-config binary if
you have $PKG_CONFIG set.
Using future annotations, type annotations become strings at runtime and
don't impact performance. This is not possible to do with T.cast though,
because it is a function argument instead of an annotation.
Quote the type argument everywhere in order to have the same effect as
future annotations. This also allows linters to better detect in some
cases that a given import is typing-only.
In some cases, init variables that accept None as a sentinel and
immediately overwrite with [], are migrated to dataclass field
factories. \o/
Note: dataclasses by default cannot provide eq methods, as they then
become unhashable. In the future we may wish to opt into declaring them
frozen, instead/additionally.
This both moves the env reading to configuration time, which is useful,
and also simplifies the implementation of the boost dependency. The
simplification comes from being able to delete basically duplicated code
since the values will be in the Properties if they exist at all.
This removes the check for "mingw" for platform.system(). The only case I know
where "mingw" is return is if using a msys Python under a msys2 mingw environment.
This combination is not really supported by meson and will result in weird errors,
so remove the check.
The second change is checking sys.platform for cygwin instead of platform.system().
The former is document to return "cygwin", while the latter is not and just
returns uname().
While under Cygwin it uname() always starts with "cygwin" it's not hardcoded in MSYS2
and starts with the environment name. Using sys.platform is safer here.
Fixes#7552
Machine files already supports `+` operator as an implementation detail,
since it's using eval(). Now make it an officially supported feature and
add a way to define constants that are used while evaluating an entry
value.
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
The comment for this code is correct, but the code itself isn't. The way
it's implemented in a cross compile we don't look at PKG_CONFIG_PATH at
all.
Fixes: #7062
PR #6363 made it so our interpretation of env vars no longer clashed
with Autoconf's: if both Meson and Autoconf would read and env var, both
would do the same things with the value they read.
However, there were still cases that autoconf would read an env var when
meson wouldn't:
- Autoconf would use `CC` in cross builds too
- Autoconf would use `CC_FOR_BUILD` in native builds too.
There's no reason Meson can't also do this--if native cross files
overwrite rather than replace env vars, cross files can also overwrite
rather than replace env vars.
Because variables like `CC` are so ubiquitous, and because ignoring them
in cross builds just makes those builds liable to break (and things more
complicated in general), we bring Meson's behavior in line with
Autoconf's.
