Custom target include dirs must be overridable by target-specific
include dirs otherwise in case of header name collisions, the user has
no way to override this behaviour.
Precompiled headers should generally be compiled with the same flags as
the sources that will include the header. Some deviations are safe,
however, most will cause the compiler to reject the precompiled header
or possibly lead to compiler crashes.
Otherwise, when you have a static helper library written in Vala
that you want to `link_whole` into a shared library you have to
manually add the .vapi file as a source.
Add a boolean 'implib' kwarg to executable(). If true, it is permitted to
use the returned build target object in link_with:
On platforms where this makes sense (e.g. Windows), an implib is generated
for the executable and used when linking. Otherwise, it has no effect.
(Rather than checking if it is a StaticLibrary or SharedLibary, BuildTarget
subclasses gain the is_linkable_target method to test if they can appear in
link_with:)
Also install any executable implib in a similar way to a shared library
implib, i.e. placing the implib in the appropriate place
Add tests of:
- a shared_module containing a reference to a symbol which is known (at link
time) to be provided by the executable
- trying to link with non-implib executables (should fail)
- installing the implib
(This last one needs a little enhancement of the installed file checking as
this is the first install test we have which needs to work with either
MSVC-style or GCC-style implib filenames)
While adding link args for external deps, sometimes different
libraries come from different prefixes, and an older version of the
same library might be present in other prefixes and we don't want to
accidentally pick that up.
For example:
/usr/local/lib/libglib-2.0.so
/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/glib-2.0.pc
/usr/local/lib/libz.so
/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/zlib.pc
/home/mesonuser/.local/lib/libglib-2.0.so
/home/mesonuser/.local/lib/pkgconfig/glib-2.0.pc
PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/home/mesonuser/.local/lib/pkgconfig/:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/"
If a target uses `dependencies : [glib_dep, zlib_dep]`, it will end up
using /usr/local/lib/libglib-2.0.so instead of
/home/mesonuser/.local/lib/libglib-2.0.so despite using the pkg-config
file in /home/mesonuser/.local/lib/pkgconfig because we reorder the -L
flag and separate it from the -l flag.
With this change, external link arguments will be added to the
compiler list without de-dup or reordering.
