To use these, you just need to add the .vapi file to your target as
a source.
This test specifically tests that hand-written vapis referring to
C headers work.
It is often useful to be able to check if a specific object is of a type
defined in a module. To that end, define all such targets in
modules/__init__.py so that everyone can refer to them without poking
into module-specific code.
Test that the --target-glib= argument while compiling Vala files is set
properly by using a feature (GtkTemplate) that requires glib >=2.38.
At the same time, also test that the appropriate gresource arguments are
also set for Vala targets. For each gresource.xml that is compiled, we
must pass --gresources=path/to/gresource.xml to valac.
Without this, the user has to both compile the resource with
gnome.compile_resources, pass that to the target sources, and also
pass --gresources=/path/to/gres.xml to vala_args in the target.
With this, we will do that automatically.
If it isn't, the --target-glib check in generate_vala_compile will
iterate over the version_reqs as a string and fail to add the
--target-glib argument.
The same vapi or vala might be added multiple times. Don't freak out if
that happens. Only freak out if a vapi or vala generated source by the
same name and the output same path is added twice.
This should never happen anyway since we would refuse to create the
target in the first place in theory, but it might happen because of bugs
in generators and custom targets.

With current Meson, this fails to configure with the following error:
Duplicate output 'dependency-generated/enum-types.h' from
'CustomTarget' 'enum-types.h'; conflicts with
'dependency-generated/enum-types.h' from 'CustomTarget'
'enum-types.h'
This is much more accurate since this is actually what determines what
file naming to use and whether there will be PDB debugging information
or not.
Closes#1169
This greatly improves the logic for determining the linker. Previously,
we would completely break if a target contained only extracted objects
and we were using more than one compiler in our project.
This also fixes determination of the linker if our target only contains
generated objc++ sources, and other funky combinations.
This avoids us having no compilers at all for targets that are composed
entirely of objects with no sources.
Now we will always have a compiler for a target even if it is composed
entirely of objects generated with custom targets unless it has
completely unknown sources.
Everywhere we use this object, we end up iterating over it and comparing
compiler.get_language() with something. Using a dict is the obvious
choice and simplifies a lot of code.
Also add MSVC support while doing so. Doesn't test 32-bit Windows yet
because I can't figure out how to do manual setup for function calls on
Win32 which also does symbol mangling. But this is fine for now.
When doing a compile-only self.compile() check, cl.exe expects an output
file of type *.obj, and passing it `output.exe` makes it write the
compiled object to `output.exe.obj`. Detect when we're doing
a compily-only check and change the suffix ourselves.
This is fine most of the time, but fails when you need to inspect the
compiled file manually.
Also store stdout/stderr on the returned object.
Check if the compiler prefixes an underscore to global symbols. This is
useful when linking to compiled assembly code, or other code that does
not have its C symbol mangling handled transparently by the compiler.
C symbol mangling is platform and architecture dependent, and a helper
function is needed to detect it. Eg: Windows 32-bit prefixes underscore,
but 64-bit does not. Linux does not prefix an underscore but OS X does.
Can't just #include them and use them directly in unity builds. Inline
assembly is a thing, but it's not trivial and is deprecated with some
compilers. Just build them separately and link them in. Ideally the user
would then use LTO to ensure the same result.
Also C++ compilers can build .S assembly files. This wasn't noticed
earlier because most people were also using C compilers in their C++
projects and we would fall back to using the C compiler for building the
assembly files. Now we have a test for this.
This was trivial to add; except that we needed a new LLVM IR rule
because the compiler emits warnings if you pass any special arguments to
it such as include arguments or dependency arguments.
Closes#1089
Instead of adding it everywhere manually, create a wrapper called
mesonlib.Popen_safe and use that everywhere that we call an executable
and extract its output.
This will also allow us to tweak it to do more/different things if
needed for some locales and/or systems.
Closes#1079
We were checking for builtins explicitly like this because the ordinary
checks don't work for builtins at all. We do exactly the same check as
Autoconf and it doesn't work with Autoconf either (Autoconf is broken!)
So now we check for it in two ways: if there's no #include in prefix, we
check if `__builtin_symbol` exists (has_function allows checking for
functions without providing includes). If there's a #include, we check
if `symbol` exists.
The old method was causing problems with some buggy toolchains such as
MSYS2 which define some builtins in the C library but don't expose them
via headers which meant that `__builtin_symbol` would be found even
though `symbol` is not available.
Doing this allows people to always get the correct answer as long as
they specify the includes that are required to find a function while
also not forcing people to always specify includes to find a function
which is cumbersome.
Closes#1083
On Windows, we can build with both 32-bit and 64-bit compilers, but the
Python is either 32-bit or 64-bit. Check the architecture of the found
Python libraries and don't use them if they don't match our
build_machine.
Also skip the tests if the Python 3 dependency is not found.
Unlike Linux and OS X, when a library is loaded, all the symbols aren't
loaded into a single namespace. You must fetch the symbol by iterating over
all loaded modules.
So, we shouldn't use /FORCE:UNRESOLVED since that is not what modules do
on Windows. Instead, we now do exactly what GModule does on Windows.
Also use `void` for functions that take no arguments.
Using 'mesonbuild' as the module can cause it to use the
system-installed module and can also break if we rename the directory,
so avoid that by always using relative imports.
This is already how it should've been, but:
a) The test for this was wrong since Dependency is a base class for all
dependencies and isinstance on an InternalDependency will also be true
b) Internal dependencies can't ever be used here anyway because compiler
checks are always run at configure time and internal dependencies are
only built after that.
