Since `build_always` also adds a target to the set of default targets,
this option is marked deprecated in favour of the new option
`build_always_stale`.
`build_always_stale` *only* marks the target to be always considered out
of date, but does *not* add it to the set of default targets.
The old behaviour can still be achieved by combining
`build_always_stale` with `build_by_default`.

On macOS, we set the install_name for built libraries to
@rpath/libfoo.dylib, and when linking to the library, we set the RPATH
to its path in the build directory. This allows all built binaries to
be run as-is from the build directory (uninstalled).
However, on install, we have to strip all the RPATHs because they
point to the build directory, and we change the install_name of all
built libraries to the absolute path to the library. This causes the
install name in binaries to be out of date.
We now change that install name to point to the absolute path to each
built library after installation.

With this, the default workflow on macOS matches what everyone seems
to do, including Autotools and CMake. The next step is providing a way
for build files to override the install_name that is used after
installation for use with, f.ex., private libraries when combined with
the install_rpath: kwarg on targets.
On Windows, if we are going to link with a shared module, we need the
implib.
Use case: The Xorg server builds some X protocol extensions as modules. The
implibs for these modules need to be shipped as part of the SDK, to enable
building of 3rd party extensions which reference symbols in (and hence on
Windows, need to be linked with) these modules.
Normally, people would just pass -fembed-bitcode in CFLAGS, but this
conflicts with -Wl,-dead_strip_dylibs and -bundle, so we need it as
an option so that those can be quietly disabled.
When the exe runner is `wine` or `wine32` or `wine64`, etc.
This allows people to run tests with wine.
Note that you also have to set WINEPATH to point to your custom
prefix(es) if your tests use external dependencies.

This makes it possible to customize permissions of all installable
targets, such as executable(), libraries, man pages, header files and
custom or generated targets.
This is useful, for instance, to install setuid/setgid binaries, which
was hard to accomplish without access to this attribute.
To allow the javac -implicit:class behaviour to know where to find
generated .java files then the build directory for the target is also
added to the -sourcefile path.
Although only one file is passed to javac at a time, if your code has
any inter-file dependencies javac still needs to know how to find other
source files for its -implicit:class feature to work whereby it will
automatically also compile files that the given file depends on.
-implicit:class is the default, practical, behaviour of javac since
otherwise it would be necessary to declare the class dependencies
for parallel java builds to be feasible.
Passing "include_directory: include_directory('.')" to jar() causes
-souredir <path/to/top/of/java/src> to be passed to javac which then
enables your source code to have inter-file class dependencies -
assuming none of your source code is generated.
This ensures that '.' is included by default.
The -sourcepath option can't be passed multiple times to javac, since it
simply overrides prior arguments. Instead -sourcepath takes a colon (or
semi-colon on windows) separated list of paths.
The entire subdirectory was getting duplicated, which was exceeding the
max path limit in Python on Windows and causing build failures.
Example:
subprojects/gst-plugins-bad/gst-libs/gst/uridownloader/subprojects@gst-plugins-bad@gst-libs@gst@uridownloader@@gsturidownloader-1.0@sha/subprojects/gst-plugins-bad/gst-libs/gst/uridownloader/gsturidownloader-1.0-0.dll.symbols
This path is too long and opening it will cause a FileNotFoundError on
Windows.
To maintain backward compatibility we cannot add recursive objects by
default. Print a warning when there are recursive objects to be pulled
and the argument is not set. After a while we'll do pull recursive
objects by default.
- determine_ext_objs: What matters is if extobj.target is a unity build,
not if the target using those objects is a unity build.
- determine_ext_objs: Return one object file per compiler, taking into
account generated sources.
- object_filename_from_source: No need to special-case unity build, it
does the same thing in both code paths.
- check_unity_compatible: For each compiler we must extract either none
or all its sources, taking into account generated sources.
This option controls the permissions of installed files (except for
those specified explicitly using install_mode option, e.g. in
install_data rules.)
An install-umask of 022 will install all binaries, directories and
executable files with mode rwxr-xr-x, while all data and non-executable
files will be installed with mode rw-r--r--.
Setting install-umask to the string 'preserve' will disable this
feature, keeping the permissions of installed files same as the files in
the build tree (or source tree for install_data and install_subdir.)
Note that, in this case, the umask used when building and that used when
checking out the source tree will leak into the install tree.
Keep the default as 'preserve', to show that no behavior is changed and
all tests keep passing unchanged.
Tested: ./run_tests.py
This implements support for visual studio solution directories.
Projects will by default be put into directories that map their sub-directory
name in the source folder. No directories are created if `--layout=flat` is used.
Fixes: #2524
This patch exploits the information residing in ltversion to set the
-compatibility_version and -current_version flags that are passed to the
linker on macOS.
This way they override all other arguments. This matches the order of
link arguments too.
Note that this means -I flags will come in afterwards and not override
anything else, but this is correct since that's how toolchain paths
work normally too -- they are searched last.
Closes https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/3089
The linkers currently do not support ninja compatible output of
dependencies used while linking. Try to guess which files will be used
while linking in python code and generate conservative dependencies to
ensure changes in linked libraries are detected.
This generates dependencies on the best match for static and shared
linking, but this should not be a problem, except for spurious
rebuilding when only one of them changes, which should not be a problem.
Also makes sure to ignore any libraries generated inside the build, to
keep the optimisation working where changes in a shared library only
cause relink if the symbols have changed as well.
