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
Implement a string converter in our WrapMode enum so that argparse will
only print the names in the doc instead of WrapMode.<name>.
This changes --help command from printing:
--wrap-mode {WrapMode.default,WrapMode.nofallback,WrapMode.nodownload,WrapMode.forcefallback}
to:
--wrap-mode {default,nofallback,nodownload,forcefallback}
Fixes issue #4067
This can be useful to make sure that a project builds when
its fallbacks are used on systems where external dependencies
satisfy the version requirements, or to easily hack on the sources
of a dependency for which a fallback exists.
Special wrap modes:
nofallback: Don't download wraps for dependency() fallbacks
nodownload: Don't download wraps for all subproject() calls
Subprojects are used for two purposes:
1. To download and build dependencies by using .wrap files if they
are not provided by the system. This is usually expressed via
dependency(..., fallback: ...).
2. To download and build 'copylibs' which are meant to be used by
copying into your project. This is always done with an explicit
subproject() call.
--wrap-mode=nofallback will never do (1)
--wrap-mode=nodownload will do neither (1) nor (2)
If you are building from a release tarball, you should be able to
safely use 'nodownload' since upstream is expected to ship all
required sources with the tarball.
If you are building from a git repository, you will want to use
'nofallback' so that any 'copylib' wraps will be download as
subprojects.
Note that these options do not affect subprojects that are git
submodules since those are only usable in git repositories, and you
almost always want to download them.
