Allow using the links method to test that the C++ driver (e.g. g++) can be used to
link C objects. One usecase is that the C compiler's libsanitizer might not be
compatible with the one included by the C++ driver.
This is theoretically backwards-incompatible, but it should be treated as a
bugfix in my opinion. There is no way in Meson to compile a .c file with the
C++ driver as part of a build target, therefore there would be no reason to
do something like meson.get_compiler(meson.get_compiler('cpp').links(files('main.c')).
Fixes: #7703
In some cases, link tests would like to use objects provided by a compiler
for a different language, for example linking a C object file with a C++
compiler. This kind of scenario is what link_language is for, but it is
impossible to test that it works with a linker test.
This patch implements the required support in the Compiler class. The
source code compiler is passed to the Compiler.links method as an
argument.
I have a local configuration
tag.forcesignannotated=true
commit.gpgsign=true
This causes the tests to fail with e.g.
error: gpg failed to sign the data
fatal: failed to write commit object
Since this is a unittest, it is never wrong to tell git "just ignore
prior configuration, and disable all PGP signing".
Fixes various inconsistencies:
- gitattributes is respected
- export-subst
- export-ignore
- submodules with relative paths are not checked out relative to the
local clone (which does not work anyway)
- no need to manually remove gitfiles with inaccurate heuristics

"ERROR: Git program not found" is both highly true, and somewhat
inscrutable. Sure, looking at the line number you can basically figure
out that subproject('something') must somehow need git to operate, but
that may not be immediately obvious.
Make mention of the fact that it is needed to "download foo.wrap".
Fixes#7764
It is a commonly needed information to help debugging build issues. We
already were printing options with non-default value at the end of the
configure but outside of the summary.
Keeping the list of user defined options in the interpreter will also in
the future be useful to use new default value on reconfigure.
And more accurate too, TBH. Currently it says it is building "lang.mo",
even though it is actually building "domain.mo" inside
lang/LC_MESSAGES/.
Since meson loudly complains if I try to name the display name
"lang/domain.mo", name it with a dash instead of a slash. The actual
name isn't a priority here IMO, and this is nicely readable.
We've now fixed it so it works, and it provides useful functionality,
e.g. creating a custom target that builds multiple gettext domains in
one action.
* compilers: improve docstring to `get_compiler_check_args()`
There was an incomplete list, which wasn't useful as it now takes an
enum anyway. Also add a new entry to the list of reasons to use this
function.
* clang: Add -Werror=implicit-function-declarations to check_args
Unlike GCC, clang warns but doesn't error when an implicit function
declaration happens. This means in checks like
`compiler.has_header_symbol('string.h', 'strlcat')` (on Linux, at least)
that GCC will fail, as there is no such function; clang will emit a
warning, but since it exists with a 0 status Meson interprets that as
success. To fix this, add `-Werror=implicit-function-declarations` to
clang's check arguments.
There seems to be something specific about functions that _may_ exist in
a header on a given system, as `cc.has_header_symbol('string.h',
'foobar')` will return false with clang, but `strlcat` will return true,
even though it's not defined. It is however, defined in some OSes, like
Solaris and the BSDs.
Fixes#9140
Removed in commit 487d45c1e5 but perhaps
it should not have -- people may have been depending on ensuring those
are built somehow. Even though the internal implementation changed and
it is now built by the all target, let's keep the old target around too.
Now it just aliases the actual build rules, though.
Users may wish to make use of these files for their own purposes.
For example, the -pot and -update-po pseudo targets could be reused in
an alias_target(), and at least one person wanted to reuse the built .mo
files as custom_target input.
Fixes#6227
This simplifies things for us, as we don't have to have threading
imported for no other reason, and we can remove the
`an_unpicklable_object` from the Interpreter and mesonlib, since there
was only one user of this.
This caught a couple of cases of us doing:
```python
for i in range(len(x)):
v = x[i]
```
which are places to use enumerate instead.
It also caught a couple of cases of:
```python
assert len(x) == len(y)
for i in range(len(x)):
xv = x[i]
yv = y[i]
```
Which should instead be using zip()
```python
for xv, yv in zip(x, y):
...
```
We have a lot of these. Some of them are harmless, if unidiomatic, such
as `if (condition)`, others are potentially dangerous `assert(...)`, as
`assert(condtion)` works as expected, but `assert(condition, message)`
will result in an assertion that never triggers, as what you're actually
asserting is `bool(tuple[2])`, which will always be true.
This didn't actually catch what it's supposed to, which is cases of:
```python
for x in dict.keys():
y = dict[x]
```
But it did catch one unnecessary use of keys(), and one case where we
were doing something in an inefficient way. I've rewritten:
```python
if name.value in [x.value for x in self.kwargs.keys() if isinstance(x, IdNode)]:
```
as
``python
if any((isinstance(x, IdNode) and name.value == x.value) for x in self.kwargs):
```
Which avoids doing two iterations, one to build the list, and a
second to do a search for name.value in said list, which does a single
short circuiting walk, as any returns as soon as one check returns True.
Currently, EnvironmentVariablesObject is a strange
holder-that's-not-a-holder. This has implicaitons for things that expect
to get an EnvironmentVariables object, as we can't automatically
unholder it, and instead have to to manually do so. Now we can
automatically unholder it, which makes everything much nicer.
