This is a useful thing to document. I wasn't really sure where to put
it, but since it's developer oriented I figured in the code itself was
probably more useful and more likely to be seen than in the markdown
that generates the website.
The script dir is never really used since meson --internal handles this.
The last remaining use of the raw script dir got removed in commit
522392e755.
In commit caab4d3d, the uid and gid arguments passed to os.chown() by
set_chown() were accidentally swapped, causing files to end up with
incorrect owner/group if the owner and group are not the same.
Also update the documentation to better indicate which argument to
install_mode is which.

All changes were created by running
"pyupgrade --py3-only --keep-percent-format"
and committing the results. I have not touched string formatting for
now.
- use set literals
- simplify .format() parameter naming
- remove __future__
- remove default "r" mode for open()
- use OSError rather than compatibility aliases
- remove stray parentheses in function(generator) scopes
- ModuleState is now a real class that will have methods in the future
for actions modules needs, instead of using interpreter internal API.
- New ModuleObject base class, similar to InterpreterObject, that should
be used by all objects returned by modules. Its methods gets the
ModuleState passed as first argument. It has a `methods` dictionary to
define what is public API that can be called from build definition.
- Method return value is not required to be a ModuleReturnValue any
more, it can be any type that interpreter can holderify, including
ModuleObject.
- Legacy module API is maintained until we port all modules.
In the future modules should be updated:
- Use methods dict.
- Remove snippets.
- Custom objects returned by modules should all be subclass of
ModuleObject to get the state iface in their methods.
- Modules should never call into interpreter directly and instead state
object should have wrapper API.
- Stop using ModuleReturnValue in methods that just return simple
objects like strings. Possibly remove ModuleReturnValue completely
since all objects that needs to be processed by interpreter (e.g.
CustomTarget) should be created through ModuleState API.
Reusing the runners for multiple repeats of the test run gets in the
way of the progress report, which stores runners in an OrderedSet.
Instead, create a separate SingleTestRunner object for each repeat.
While at it, fix the "duplicate suite" assertion as it can fire
with TAP tests and --repeat=N.
Fixes: #8405
Rather than having to manually build the locale aware man paths with
`install_data('foo.fr.1', install_dir: join_paths(get_option('mandir'), 'fr', 'man1'), rename: 'foo.1')`
Support doing
`install_man('foo.fr.1', locale: 'fr')`
hdf5's config-tools will not show compile arguments (including the
include directory) if called without `-c`. Make sure to get both the
compile and link arguments.
The way the tracking is currently done it works if no new subprojects
are added to a configured build directory. For cases where we want to
add a new subproject, it fails because we don't initialize builtins for
that subproject. This corrects that by checking to see if the subproject
already exists, and if it doesn't initializes the bultins for it.
Fixes: #8421
Useful in case of boolean values to distinguish between a boolean
value having been set in the native/cross file and not having been
provided, which can't be achieved by passing a fallback parameter
to .get_external_property().
It's a pure subset of `get_external_property`, and has odd behavior in
host == build configurations. `get_external_property` is clear, and uses
the standard `native : bool` syntax to control host vs build properties
meson compile itself doesn't permit GNU-style argument permutation, i.e.
TARGET to precede options, so why should we expect ninja to?
And indeed, ninja doesn't document support for this -- but it does
accept it anyway, which is confusing and results in people thinking it's
"supposed to" work.
However, if NINJA=samu then this is in fact enforced. samu does not
permit GNU-style argument permutation. As a result, the arguments passed
to mcompile are actively re-ordered before being passed to the
subprocess, and samu dies with a fatal error.
Fix ordering in mcompile.py and add a comment to warn future readers
that the order does, in fact, matter.
Enables -Db_sanitize=undefined and company.
Also serves as a testcase for NVCC comma-shielding: Because the test-
case declares `b_sanitize=address,undefined`, the host GCC compiler
needs `-fsanitize=address,undefined`, but this stands a danger of being
split by NVCC when wrapped with `-Xcompiler=args,args`. Special,
already-existing comma-shielding codepaths activate to prevent this
splitting.
Closes#8394.
