This also fixes that the keys in ArgumentNode.kwargs are
all of the type BaseNode now. Before this commit, it was
possible that both strings and Nodes where used as keys.
Warnings have a location node object (with subdir and lineno
attributes), which is passed as a location: kwarg to mlog.warning() and
formatted in _log_error().
Re-purpose the subdir attribute (path relative to the source root dir,
with an implied filename of 'meson.build'), which is stored into the
node by parser(), to contain a pathname.
(Properly I should rename 'subdir' -> 'file' everywhere, but that's a
lot of churn just to see if this works)
Notes:
The warning location node may also have a colno attribute, which is
currently ignored by _log_error().
We can't currently issue warnings with locations in meson_options.txt
because the filename isn't part of the location (as it's assumed to be
'meson.build).
A MesonException has file, lineno and colno attributes, which get
formatted as a location in mlog.exception().
The file attribute got changed from a path relative to the root source
directory to a pathname (absolute or relative to cwd) in one place in
commit b8fbbf59. Adjust all the other places the file attribute is set
to match.
Also:
Setting MesonException.file seems to be missing in the case where Parser
returned a non-CodeBlockNode object. Fortunately, that looks like it's
unreachable, but add it just in case.
In most cases instead pass `for_machine`, the name of the relevant
machines (what compilers target, what targets run on, etc). This allows
us to use the cross code path in the native case, deduplicating the
code.
As one can see, environment got bigger as more information is kept
structured there, while ninjabackend got a smaller. Overall a few amount
of lines were added, but the hope is what's added is a lot simpler than
what's removed.
This isn't safe given the way python implements default arguments.
Basically python store a reference to the instance it was passed, and
then if that argument is not provided it uses the default. That means
that two calls to the same function get the same instance, if one of
them mutates that instance every subsequent call that gets the default
will receive the mutated instance. The idiom to this in python is to use
None and replace the None,
def in(value: str, container: Optional[List[str]]) -> boolean:
return src in (container or [])
if there is no chance of mutation it's less code to use or and take
advantage of None being falsy. If you may want to mutate the value
passed in you need a ternary (this example is stupid):
def add(value: str, container: Optional[List[str]]) -> None:
container = container if container is not None else []
container.append(value)
I've used or everywhere I'm sure that the value will not be mutated by
the function and erred toward caution by using ternaries for the rest.
This allows the person running configure (either a developer, user, or
distro maintainer) to keep a configuration of where various kinds of
files should end up.
