On windows, meson would mix posix and windows dir separators in the
computed PACKAGE_RELATIVE_PATH.
Here we force posix directory separator even on Windows. This matches
the CMake behavior and fixes interpretation of the resulting path.

By default, clang-cl based environments use rc.exe as resource
compiler. However, when cross compiling with clang-cl, one might
want to use llvm-rc instead.
Try to detect llvm-rc based on the output from "$CMD /?".
This requires a very recent llvm-rc; previosly, the output of
"/?" with llvm-rc was very generic and didn't explicitly indicate
that it actually was llvm-rc. This was changed in
bab6902eba
which will be included in the upcoming LLVM 17.0.0 release.
Contrary to the other regexes, don't include the preceding parts
of the line in the log printout, as it includes an unhelpful
"OVERVIEW:" prefix.
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
This reverts commit a2def550c5.
This results in a 2k line file being unconditionally imported at
startup, and transitively loading two more (for a total cost of 2759
lines of code), and it's not clear it was ever needed to begin with...
This lessens the amount of code imported at Meson startup by mapping
each dependency to a dictionary entry and using a programmable import to
dynamically return it.
Minus 16 files and 6399 lines of code imported at startup.
We can check something's subtype using properties, without importing the
module up front and doing isinstance checks on specific subclasses of
the interface -- or worse, solving cyclic imports by doing the import
inside the function. ;)
msetup.py doesn't need to know the gory details of PkgConfigDependency,
or directly import it at program startup. It's also slightly wasteful to
generate a devenv for the -uninstalled directory when a project doesn't
even, in the end, use the pkgconfig module anyway.
This is a pretty common pattern in python (the standard library uses it
a ton): A class is created, with a single private instance in the
module, and then it's methods are exposed as public API. This removes
the need for the global statement, and is generally a little easier to
reason about thanks to encapsulation.
The concept of merge_file intrinsically requires some GNU-specific
functionality, so let's emit a useful error message during
configuration, when we don't have that.
The relevant GNU gettext versions date back to around 2015 so *probably*
anyone has that too, but we may as well verify that while we are here.
There are a number of implementations for msgfmt, supporting various
options. The simplest, and most common, use case is to compile .po files
into .mo files, and this should be able to work on gettext
implementations other than the GNU one.
The problem is that we were passing some pretty portable arguments in an
unportable manner. The `-o` option-argument and its associated argument
came after the input file operand, which violates the POSIX Utility
Syntax Guidelines, and happens to not be supported by Solaris gettext.
The GNU gettext doesn't care; GNU invented GNU argument permutation.
Switch the order around so that our use respects the POSIX style.
In #11761 it turned out that we failed to correctly handle all
compiler.sizeof API changes in an old commit, breaking use of the
module. And mypy could have caught this for us, except that the module
is neither typed nor checked in CI. Partially solve this by adding lots
of type annotations, greatly reducing the number of mypy errors in this
file from 35 down to 12.
This doesn't accept a dict, only an actual ConfigurationData object. Due
to the way we poke at it, a dict can sort of work anyway, but might not
if the internal layout isn't exactly correct. This is evidenced by the
way we make the dict values be hard-to-read tuples containing emptiness,
because that's how ConfigurationData objects handle descriptions.
Simplify and make the seed dictionary readable, then actually convert it
into a real ConfigurationData. Bonus: this now passes type checking.
It's shorter and more descriptive. Although we always enforce the same
rules either way, a unified decorator is one less line of code for each
location, and also tells you how many "too few" arguments you *did*
pass.
For all source `*.py` files installed via either py.install_sources() or
an `install_dir: py.get_install_dir()`, produce `*.pyc` files at install
time. Controllable via a module option.
We may want to do things like update install scripts as well, which have
to happen before generating the backend. Instead of adding one module
method per thing to do, use a single function that allows for modifying
the Build object directly.
In commit 808d5934dd, compiler.sizeof was
refactored to introduce caching, but cmake subprojects did not adapt to
that API change and ended up embedding the python repr of a tuple as a
cmake variable.
If the optional first "mainlib" argument is there, then we infer several
values. Otherwise, some of those values fall back to a generic default,
and two of them -- name and description -- fall back to being mandatory.
In commit e84f293f67, we removed
validation for description as part of refactoring that never actually
validated anything.
When devhelp is enabled, hotdoc generates a devhelp/ subdir that needs
to be installed to /usr/share/devhelp/. Otherwise, the html/ subdir
needs to be installed to /usr/share/doc/<project>/html/
We used to just abort during configure because we ran in-process and
hotdoc's argparse would leak into our own process space. Now we fail to
handle this case and succeed at configuring, only for building to fail
because the hotdoc config file doesn't exist.
We have two copies of this code, and the python module one is vastly
superior, not just because it allows choosing which python executable to
base itself on. Unify this. Fixes various issues including non-Windows
support for sysconfig, and pypy edge cases.
In preparation for wholly merging the dependency handling from the
python module into dependencies.*, move the unique class definitions
from there into their new home in dependencies.python, which is
semantically convenient.
In preparation for handling more work inside dependencies.*, we need to
be able to run a PythonExternalProgram from the python dependency. Move
most of the definition -- but only the parts that have no interest in a
ModuleState -- and subclass a bit of sanity checking that we need to
handle specially when used in the module.
It can go directly inside the function which immediately uses it.
There's no purpose in looking it up exactly once and using it exactly
once, but looking it up outside the function and complicating the
function signature in order to pass it as a function argument.
We write this out as an embedded string to a tempfile in order to run
it, which is pretty awkward. And usually Meson's files are already files
on disk, not packed into a zip, so we can simply run it directly. Since
python 3.7, which is our new minimum, we can handle this well via the
stdlib. (There's also mesonbuild.mesondata, but we do not need
persistence in the builddir.)
This also solves the problem that has always been there, of giant python
programs inside strings occasionally confusing syntax highlighters. Or
even, it would be nice if we had syntax highlighting for this
introspection program. :D
We pass around a PythonInstallation into the depths of the dependency
factory, solely so that we can get at is_pypy in one particular branch.
We don't need the DSL functions, we don't need access to the
interpreter, let's just use the enhanced ExternalProgram object on its
own.
Add is_pypy to the object, and modify other references to get
information from .info['...'] instead of direct access.
