Probably dating back to the former mesonrewriter command?
Fixes commit d4fe805a51
In some corner cases, "rewriter" could be mistaken as a positional
argument.
Meson doesn't currently provide a very helpful message when trying to generate a coverage report with clang, and in fact just silently fails for 2 of the 3 reports. Ideally Meson would support coverage with llvm-cov, or provide a more helpful error message. Until then, it seems it would be helpful to at least put a warning in the documentation
The current state of this manual can best be described as... confusing.
The flow of the page jumps from one topic to the next without ever
actually telling you what you can do, so it's almost impossible to keep
track of what is supported, while instead going into involved derails
about why you'd want to use a wrap, and scattering some (but not all)
information throughout the promo material.
The most important changes this rewrite does (aside from turning
supported keys into a list of bullet points) is adding documentation for
the lead_directory_missing property, and mentioning that wrap-hg and
wrap-svn exist. I had to find out all of this by reading the source code
implementation, so let's try to save other people the effort.
Other miscellania: as per @jpakkane's comment, take the opportunity to
point out that wrap dependencies are also useful on Linux, in cases
where your distro doesn't have a new enough version of "$dependency".
It's a fairly common problem outside of select rolling-release distros,
so well worth mentioning.
The documentation already contains an example for PCH but misses the
to show the content of the PCH files and how to create them.
With this commit exactly this is exlained.
In qemu, minikconf generates a depfile that meson could use to
automatically reconfigure on dependency change.
Note: someone clever can perhaps find a way to express this with a
ninja rule & depfile=. I didn't manage, so I wrote a simple depfile
parser.
