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.
* 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
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.
There are two changes here, one is to remove an `elif` that is
effectively an `else`, that helps the type checker and provides a small
speedup potentially. The second is a potentially unbound variable, that
currently isn't hit, but very much could be.
When mutable items are stored in an lru cache, changing the returned
items changes the cached items as well. Therefore we want to ensure that
we're not mutating them. Using the ImmutableListProtocol allows mypy to
find mutations and reject them. This doesn't solve the problem of
mutable values inside the values, so you could have to do things like:
```python
ImmutableListProtocol[ImmutableListProtocol[str]]
```
or equally hacky. It can also be used for input types and acts a bit
like C's const:
```python
def foo(arg: ImmutableListProtocol[str]) -> T.List[str]:
arg[1] = 'foo' # works while running, but mypy errors
```
* Allow address sanitizer for Visual Studio 2019 version 16.9
Address Sanitizer was first supported with the current syntax in Visual
Studio 16.9.0 (cl version 19.28.29910).
