"exe.is_cross and exe.needs_exe_wrapper" is the same condition under which
meson chooses whether to include the exe_wrapper. meson_exe has an assertion
for that, but now that meson_exe does not need anymore exe.is_cross,
we can simplify the code if we just "trust" meson to do the right thing.
Remove both fields from ExecutableSerialisation and just test the presence
of the wrapper, and also remove the executable basename which is only
used to "beautify" an assertion failure.
Move the magic to execute jar and .exe files from "meson --internal exe"
to the backend, so that "ninja -v" shows more clearly what is happening.

If meson_exe is only being used to capture the output of the command,
we can skip going through a pickled ExecutableSerialization object.
This makes "ninja -v" output more useful.
Return the command line from serialize_executable, which is then
renamed to as_meson_exe_cmdline. This avoids repeating code that
is common to custom targets and generators.
There are two problems with this:
- It has false positives when the code that trips it is conditional and
no run on cross.
- It confuses users who never wrote any `native` flags and don't care
about cross.
Fixes#5509
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.
the problem here is, that get_custom_target_provided_libraries iterated
over all generated sources of a target. In each output we check if this
is a library or not. In projects like EFL we have added a lot of
generated target to many different targets, so the iterating of the
output is rather consistent, with this commit we drop from 19% of the
time spending in get_custom_target_provided_libraries down to 3.51%.
This avoids the duplication where the option is stored in a dict at its
name, and also contains its own name. In general, the maxim in
programming is things shouldn't know their own name, so removed the name
field just leaving the option's position in the dictionary as its name.
Also, we should at some point decide whether we're going to use American
spelling (serialize/serialization) or British (serialise/serialisation)
because we have both, and both is always worse than one or the other.
Currently C++ inherits C, which can lead to diamond problems. By pulling
the code out into a standalone mixin class that the C, C++, ObjC, and
Objc++ compilers can inherit and override as necessary we remove one
source of diamonding. I've chosen to split this out into it's own file
as the CLikeCompiler class is over 1000 lines by itself. This also
breaks the VisualStudio derived classes inheriting from each other, to
avoid the same C -> CPP inheritance problems. This is all one giant
patch because there just isn't a clean way to separate this.
I've done the same for Fortran since it effectively inherits the
CCompiler (I say effectively because was it actually did was gross
beyond explanation), it's probably not correct, but it seems to work for
now. There really is a lot of layering violation going on in the
Compilers, and a really good scrubbing would do this code a lot of good.
Instad of having special casing of threads in the backends and
everywehre else, do what we did for openmp, create a real
dependency. Then make use of the fact that dependencies can now have
sub dependencies to add threads.
Currently we specialcase OpenMP like we do threads, with a special
`need_openmp` method. This seems like a great idea, but doesn't work
out in practice, as well as it complicates the opemp
implementation. If GCC is built without opemp support for example, we
still add -fopenmp to the the command line, which results in
compilation errors.
This patch discards that and treats it like a normal dependency,
removes the need_openmp() method, and sets the compile_args attributes
from the compiler.
Fixes#5115
Instead use coredata.compiler_options.<machine>. This brings the cross
and native code paths closer together, since both now use that.
Command line options are interpreted just as before, for backwards
compatibility. This does introduce some funny conditionals. In the
future, I'd like to change the interpretation of command line options so
- The logic is cross-agnostic, i.e. there are no conditions affected by
`is_cross_build()`.
- Compiler args for both the build and host machines can always be
controlled by the command line.
- Compiler args for both machines can always be controlled separately.
A custom_target, if install is set to true, will always be built by
default even if build_by_default is explicitly set to false.
Ensure that this does not happen if it's set explicitly. To keep
backward compatibility, if build_by_default is not set explicitly and
install is true, set build_by_default to true.
Fixes#4107
Building a cross compiler (`build == host != target`) is not cross
compiling. As such, it doesn't make sense to handle it under
`is_cross_build`.
(N.B. Building a standard library for a cross compiler would require
cross compiling, but Meson has support to do such a thing as part of a
compiler build currently.)
