This reverts commit 9f02d0a3e5.
It turns out that this does introduce a behavioral change in existing
users of ConfigurationData, which it wasn't supposed to (it was supposed
to preserve behavior there, and add a new *warning* for
EnvironmentVariables).
This breaks projects such as pulseaudio, libvirt, and probably more.
Roll back the change and try again after 1.5.0 is released.
Fixes: #13372
Only Environment and ConfigurationData are mutable. However, only
ConfigurationData becomes immutable after first use which is
inconsistent.
This deprecates modification after first use of Environment object and
clarify documentation.
By adding the option name to UserOption object, it is now possible to
display the name of the affected option when the given option value is
not valid.
Fixes#12635
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`.
During evaluation of codeblocks, we start off with an iteration of
nodes, and then while evaluating them we may update the global
self.current_node context. When catching and formatting errors, we
didn't take into account that the node might be updated from the
original top-level iteration.
Switch to formatting errors using self.current_node instead, to ensure
we can point at the likely most-accurate actual cause of an error.
Also update the current node in a few more places, so that function
calls always see the function call as the current node, even if the most
recently parsed node was an argument to the function call.
Fixes#11643
If we add new kwargs to a function invoked on the first line, we also
need to validate the meson_version before erroring out due to unknown
kwargs. Even if the AST was successfully built.
Amusingly, we also get to improve the error message a bit. By passing
the AST node instead of an interpreter node, we get not just line
numbers, but also column offsets of the issueful meson_version. That
broke the stdout of another failing test; adapt it.
If the meson.build file is sufficiently "broken", even attempting to lex
and parse it will totally fail, and we error out without getting the
opportunity to evalaute the project() function. This can fairly easily
happen if we add new grammar to the syntax, which old versions of meson
cannot understand. Setting a minimum meson_version doesn't help, because
people with a too-old version of meson get parser errors instead of
advice about upgrading meson.
Examples of this include adding dict support to meson.
There are two general approaches to solving this issue, one of which
projects are empowered to do:
- refactor the project to place too-new syntax in a subdir() loaded
build file, so the root file can be interpreted
- teach meson to catch errors in building the initial AST, and just load
enough of the AST to check for meson_version advice
This implements the latter, allowing to future-proof the build
grammar.
We do not need the python module's find_installation() for this, as this
does various things to set up building and installing python modules
(pure python and C-API). This functionality is already tested in the
python tests.
Elsewhere, when we just need an interpreter capable of running python
scripts in order to guarantee a useful scripting language for custom
commands, it suffices to use find_program(), which does not run an
introspection script or do module imports, and is thus faster and
a bit cleaner.
Either way, both methods are guaranteed to find the python3 interpreter,
deferring to mesonlib.python_command for that guarantee.
test "71 summary" can sometimes return the python command with the
".exe" part all uppercased for mysterious Windows reasons. Smooth this
over with ExternalProgram.
This test case checks stdout and demands a `dependency()` lookup fail.
The resulting error message can be different depending on whether cmake
is installed, or not. For cmake-specific tests we would simply skip the
test if cmake is not installed, but here we can just fine-tune the
pattern matching we use to determine if the test failed "correctly".
Fixes#11320
We make use of allow_unknown=True here, which allows us to only look at
the common arguments in the main option parser, and then look at the
specific options in the dispatched parsers. This allows us to do more
specific checking on a per overload basis.
The code below this already handles being passed an Executable or
ExternalProgram, and it does it correctly, since it handles host
binaries that need an exe_wrapper correctly, while the code in the
generator paths doesn't.
The xcode backend is, like always, problematic, it doesn't handle things
the same way as the ninja and vscode backends, and generates a shell
script instead of using meson as a wrapper when needed (it seems likely
that just forcing the meson path for xcode would be better). I don't
have a working mac to develop a fix for, so I've left a todo comment
there.
Fixes: #11264
https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/9287 changed the `optimization=0`
to pass `-O0` to the compiler. This change is reasonable by itself
but unfortunately, it breaks `buildtype=plain`, which promises
that “no extra build flags are used”.
`buildtype=plain` is important for distros like NixOS,
which manage compiler flags for optimization and hardening
themselves.
Let’s introduce a new optimization level that does nothing
and set it as the default for `buildtype=plain`.
In the debug logs, always log if a dependency lookup raises a
DependencyException. In the `required: false` case, this information
would otherwise disappear forever, and we would just not even log that
we tried it -- it doesn't appear in "(tried x, y and z)".
In the `required: true` case, we would re-raise the first exception if
it failed to be detected. Update the raise message with the same
information we print to the debug logs, indicating which dependency and
which method was used in the failing attempt.
Compiled languages are Meson's bread and butter, but hardly required.
This is convenient, because many test caases specifically, do not care
about testing the compiler interactions.
In such cases, we can skip doing compiler lookups which aren't used, as
they only slow down test setup.
This error message was quite confusing when triggered by
use of an absolute path to the include dir of an external dependency
(numpy in my case). Changing that to a relative dir also isn't
a solution, because Meson will *not* do the "busywork to make paths
work" that the error message says it will.
Regression in commit 7c757dff71.
SubprojectHolder is no longer an ObjectHolder and says so via a TODO:
this means that we have to fiddle with held_object. Yay.
A single target could be picked for unity build, and in that case
extract_objects() should not be allowed.
Likewise for the opposite case, where extract_objects() should be allowed
if unity build is disabled for a single target. A test that covers that
case is added later.
We validate a few things here, such as the non-presence of '@INPUT' in
an output name. These got moved out of the CustomTarget constructor in
commit 11f9638035 and into KwargInfo, but
only for kwargs that took multiple values. This caused configure_file()
and unstable_rust.bindgen() to stop checking for this.
Add a shared single-output KW and use it in both places. This now
dispatches to _output_validator.
configure_file now validates subdirectories in output names the same way
we do elsewhere, directly in the typed_kwargs and by specifying the
erroring kwarg.
Test that add_project_dependencies() can only be used before build targets
have been declared. Also test that one cannot use override_dependency
on a superproject to inject a superproject's build products into the
subproject. This would violate the rule that build products cannot be used
with add_project_dependencies() (similar to e.g. compiler.has_function),
so check that meson detects the situation correctly.
This allows tracking which subproject it came from at the time of
definition, rather than the time of use. As a result, it is no longer
possible for one subproject which knows that another subproject installs
some data files, to expose those data files via its own
declare_dependency.
There are somewhat common, reasonable and legitimate use cases for a
dependency to provide data files installed to /usr which are used as
command inputs. When getting a dependency from a subproject, however,
the attempt to directly construct an input file from a subproject
results in a sandbox violation. This means not all dependencies can be
wrapped as a subproject.
One example is wayland-protocols XML files which get scanned and used to
produce C source files.
Teach Meson to recognize when a string path is the result of fetching a
dep.get_variable(), and special case this to be exempt from subproject
violations.
A requirement of this is that the file must be installed by
install_data() or install_subdir() because otherwise it is not actually
representative of what a pkg-config dependency would provide.
Previously subprojects inherited languages already added by main
project, or any previous subproject. This change to have a list of
compilers per interpreters, which means that if a subproject does not
add 'c' language it won't be able to compile .c files any more, even if
main project added the 'c' language.
This delays processing list of compilers until the interpreter adds the
BuildTarget into its list of targets. That way the interpreter can add
missing languages instead of duplicating that logic into BuildTarget for
the cython case.
This bring us in line with Autotools and CMake and it is useful
for platforms like Nix, which install projects
into multiple independent prefixes.
As a consequence, `get_option` might return absolute paths for some
directory options, if a directory outside of prefix is passed.
This is technically a backwards incompatible change but its effect
should be minimal, thanks to widespread use of `join_paths`/`/` operator
and pkg-config generator module. It should only cause an issue when
a path were constructed by concatenating the value of directory path option.
Also remove a comment about commonpath since we do not use that since
<00f5dadd5b>.

Because we don't want to pass the Interpreter kwargs into the build
layer. This turned out to be a mega commit, as there's really on elegant
way to make this change in an incremental way. On the nice side, mypy
made this change super easy, as nearly all of the calls to
`CustomTarget` are fully type checked!
It also turns out that we're not handling install_tags in custom_target
correctly, since we're not converting the boolean values into Optional
values!
Fixes a bug where the subproject version was not validated
when the subproject had already been processed.
The bug would cause inconsistent build results if the subproject was
referenced more than once (diamond) with conflicting version requirements.
