The only advantage they have is they have the interpreter in arguments,
but it's already available as self.interpreter. We should discourage
usage of the interpreter API and rely on ModuleState object instead in
the future.
This also lift the restriction that a module method cannot add build
targets, but that was not enforced for snippet methods anyway (and some
modules were doing it) and it's really loose restriction as it should
check for many other things if we wanted to make it consistent.
Dependencies is already a large and complicated package without adding
programs to the list. This also allows us to untangle a bit of spaghetti
that we have.
All changes were created by running
"pyupgrade --py3-only --keep-percent-format"
and committing the results. I have not touched string formatting for
now.
- use set literals
- simplify .format() parameter naming
- remove __future__
- remove default "r" mode for open()
- use OSError rather than compatibility aliases
- remove stray parentheses in function(generator) scopes
- ModuleState is now a real class that will have methods in the future
for actions modules needs, instead of using interpreter internal API.
- New ModuleObject base class, similar to InterpreterObject, that should
be used by all objects returned by modules. Its methods gets the
ModuleState passed as first argument. It has a `methods` dictionary to
define what is public API that can be called from build definition.
- Method return value is not required to be a ModuleReturnValue any
more, it can be any type that interpreter can holderify, including
ModuleObject.
- Legacy module API is maintained until we port all modules.
In the future modules should be updated:
- Use methods dict.
- Remove snippets.
- Custom objects returned by modules should all be subclass of
ModuleObject to get the state iface in their methods.
- Modules should never call into interpreter directly and instead state
object should have wrapper API.
- Stop using ModuleReturnValue in methods that just return simple
objects like strings. Possibly remove ModuleReturnValue completely
since all objects that needs to be processed by interpreter (e.g.
CustomTarget) should be created through ModuleState API.
This patches takes the options work to it's logical conclusion: A single
flat dictionary of OptionKey: UserOptions. This allows us to simplify a
large number of cases, as we don't need to check if an option is in this
dict or that one (or any of 5 or 6, actually).
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
As stated by the doc, default to install python sources to purelib
location, as they should not depend on platform.
This also fixes discrepancy between get_install_dir() and
install_sources() locations.

- ExternalProgramHolder has path() method while CustomTargetHolder and
BuildTargetHolder have full_path().
- The returned ExternalProgramHolder's path() method was broken, because
build.Executable object has no get_path() method, it needs the
backend.
- find_program('overridden_prog', version : '>=1.0') was broken because
it needs to execute the exe that is not yet built. Now assume the
program has the (sub)project version.
- If the version check fails, interpreter uses
ExternalProgramHolder.get_name() for the error message but
build.Executable does not implement get_name() method.
Currently PkgConfig takes language as a keyword parameter in position 3,
while the others take it as positional in position 2. Because most
dependencies don't actually set a language (they use C style linking),
using a positional argument makes more sense. ExtraFrameworkDependencies
is even more different, and duplicates some arguments from the base
ExternalDependency class.
For later changes I'm planning to make having all of the dependencies
use the same signature is really, really helpful.
If the Python binary that we find doesn't return valid JSON when asked to run a
small script, show the command being ran and stdout/stderr in meson-log.txt.
Fixes: #5914
This mirrors the modules keyword argument that some dependencies (such
as qt and llvm) take. This allows an easier method to determine if
modules are installed.
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.
For dynamic linking, some mingw releases don't link
correctly with pythonXX.lib in all cases.
This patch forces mingw to link against
pyhthonXX.dll instead of the .lib file, which has
a better compatiblity.
Note that msys 1.0 old platform is detected
as windows instead of 'mingw'
This would normally be exposed by the ExternalProgramHolder, but wasn't
due to the implementation of the PythonInstallation module. Because of
that I've duplicated the method so that we can add the FeatureNew
decorator.
Fixes#4070
Into a generic interpreter object. This isn't a module, it's an object
returned by a module, it also happens to be a special case of an
ExternalProgram, which is a normal interpreter object. Let's treat it
like one.
Windows requires things to be linked, on macOS distutils doesn't link by default.
On Linux etc. things are not so clear, some distros like Debian patch distutils to not link,
some don't. In addition the manylinux wheels spec prohibits linking against libpython
and upstream is thinking about changing the default:
https://bugs.python.org/issue34814
Call into distutils to figure out what distutils does and in case it doesn't link
against libpython replace the passed in Python dependency with a partial one.
When dependency(), find_library(), find_program(), or
python.find_installation() return a not-found object and disabler is
true, they return a Disabler object instead.
* Lookup is now performed according to the following order:
1. use `pkg-config` with `PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=LIBPC` from python
2. use plain `PKG_CONFIG_{LIBDIR,PATH}` from the environment
3. try to extract the information from SYSCONFIG
The second step is necessary for relocated python installations
and cross compilation scenarios, where the value of `LIBPC` might
be wrong.
Meson tries to find the interpreter path through the "py" launcher on Windows in all
cases which breaks if meson is run under MSYS2 and an official CPython is installed as well.
MSYS2 Python doesn't install a py launcher which results in meson finding the system one instead
even though python2/python3 is in PATH.
Always check if the interpreter name is in PATH before falling back to checking the py launcher.
