install: false was only available since 0.50, so we should not warn
people who support older versions to use something they cannot.
Fortunately, we can do FeatureDeprecated for this -- and then it even
gets summarized. Unfortunately, it's not well used, and certainly isn't
here.
It has always been working even if not documented and there is no reason
to not accept it. However, change "True/False" to "true/false" to be
consistent with meson language.
Fixes: #9436
Now, warnings are unconditionally raised when parsing the wrap file,
whether they are used or not. That being said, these warnings literally
just check for a couple of keys used in the .wrap ini file.
Moving these checks from the time of use to the time of loading, means
that we no longer report warnings only when originally downloading or
extracting the file or VCS repo.
It also means we no longer report warnings in one subproject, when a
wrap file is picked up from a different subproject because the first
subproject actually does a dependency lookup. This caused issues for the
WrapDB tooling, which uses patch_directory everywhere and the
superproject requires a suitable minimum version of meson for this...
but individual wraps might use a much lower version, and would then
raise a warning (in strict mode, converted to an error) when it resolved
a dependency from another WrapDB project.
Fixes#9118
This replaces the absolute hack of using
```
install_subdir('nonexisting', install_dir: 'share')
```
which requires you to make sure you don't accidentally or deliberately
have a completely different directory with the same name in your source
tree that is full of files you don't want installed. It also avoids
splitting the name in two and listing them in the wrong order.
You can also set the install mode of each directory component by listing
them one at a time in order, and in fact create nested structures at
all.

This is the final refactoring for extracting the bultin object
logic out of Interpreterbase. I decided to do both arrays and
dicts in one go since splitting it would have been a lot more
confusing.
This does not convert the build side, or remove any of the checking it
does. We still need that for other callers of custom target. What we'll
do for those is add an internal interface that defaults things, then
we'll be able to have those callers do their own validation, and the
CustomTarget validation machinary can be removed.
Fixes#9096
This will happen as we transition from doing the conversion in the
function body to using the KwargInfo to make that change. If we get one
just return it.
Another commit in my quest to rid InterpreterBase from all higher
level object processing logic.
Additionally, there is a a logic change here, since `str.join` now
uses varargs and can now accept more than one argument (and supports
list flattening).
This patch adds a new meson built-in option for cython, allowing it to
target C++ instead of C as the intermediate language. This can, of
course, be done on a per-target basis using the `override_options`
keyword argument, or for the entire project in the project function.
There are some things in this patch that are less than ideal. One of
them is that we have to add compilers in the build layer, but there
isn't a better place to do it because of per target override_options.
There's also some design differences between Meson and setuptools, in
that Meson only allows options on a per-target rather than a per-file
granularity.
Fixes#9015
This really is more of a struct than a dict, as the types are disjoint
and they are internally handled, (ie, not from user input). This cleans
some things up, in addition I spotted a bug in the ModuleState where the
dict with the version and license is passed to a field that expects just
the version string.
-Oz is the appropriate flag to use when you want to produce the smallest
possible binary, and is one would expect when setting optimization to s
or using the minsize build type.
This removes the warning when using default_options without fallback
kwarg completely because a subproject does not know if the main project
has an implicit fallback or not, so it could set default_options even if
not fallback is available at all.
Fixes: #9278
It is a commonly needed information to help debugging build issues. We
already were printing options with non-default value at the end of the
configure but outside of the summary.
Keeping the list of user defined options in the interpreter will also in
the future be useful to use new default value on reconfigure.
This simplifies things for us, as we don't have to have threading
imported for no other reason, and we can remove the
`an_unpicklable_object` from the Interpreter and mesonlib, since there
was only one user of this.
We have a lot of these. Some of them are harmless, if unidiomatic, such
as `if (condition)`, others are potentially dangerous `assert(...)`, as
`assert(condtion)` works as expected, but `assert(condition, message)`
will result in an assertion that never triggers, as what you're actually
asserting is `bool(tuple[2])`, which will always be true.
Currently, EnvironmentVariablesObject is a strange
holder-that's-not-a-holder. This has implicaitons for things that expect
to get an EnvironmentVariables object, as we can't automatically
unholder it, and instead have to to manually do so. Now we can
automatically unholder it, which makes everything much nicer.
