GCC does not print a warning or error for unknown options if the options
are to disable warnings. Therefore, when checking for options starting
'-Wno-', also check the opposite enabling option. This fixes the case
where e.g. -Wno-implicit-fallthrough is incorrectly reported as supported
by gcc 5.4. To avoid missed warnings when using combinations of flags, such
as in test case "112 has arg", we limit the checking of for the positive
option to where the negative option is checked alone.
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.
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.
This caching is only for a single run, so it doesn't help reconfigure.
However, it is useful for subproject setups where different subprojects
will run the same compiler checks.
The cache is also per compiler instance and is not used for functions
that want to read or run the outputted object file or binary.
For gst-build, this halves the number of compiler checks that are run
and reduces configuration time by 20%.
Copy the algorithm used by autoconf.
It computes the upper and lower limits by starting at [-1,1] and
multiply by 2 at each iteration. This is even faster for small numbers
(the common case), for example it finds value 0 in just 2 compilations
where old algorithm would check for 1024, 512, ..., 0.
Recent versions of systemd (starting with v238) started to check for the
existence of the statx structure using the cc.sizeof() operation. The cc
compiler implementation fails to detect this structure because it's size
limit is 128, meaning it will fail for any type larger than 128 bytes in
the following way during cross-compilation checks:
meson.build:10:2: ERROR: Cross-compile check overflowed
Increase the size limit for data types to 1024 bytes, which should give
plenty of room for even large data structures. This is obviously not
guaranteed to be an upper bound, but given the binary search algorithm
implemented in the cross-compile check, raising the limit too high may
significantly increase the time required for this check on smaller data
types.

A hard error makes this feature useless in most cases since a static
library usually won't be found for every library, particularly system
libraries like -lm. Instead, warn so the user can provide the static
library if they wish.
This feature will be expanded and made more extensible and more usable
in the future.

After PR #2662, running test case common/125 shared module/ on Cygwin gets
me:
$ ninja -C _build
ninja: Entering directory `_build'
[7/7] Linking target prog.exe.
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-cygwin/6.4.0/../../../../x86_64-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: warning: --export-dynamic is not supported for PE+ targets, did you mean --export-all-symbols?
Also, fix doc for correct version of first apperance.
Future work: Notwithstanding the hint that ld gives, these options are not
equivalent, and it's not clear we should be using it here:
--export-all-symbols is the default behaviour, and if the exports are
restricted by explicit annotations or a .def file, this option might be
overriding that...
According to Python documentation[1] dirname and basename
are defined as follows:
os.path.dirname() = os.path.split()[0]
os.path.basename() = os.path.split()[1]
For the purpose of better readability split() is replaced
by appropriate function if only one part of returned tuple
is used.

has_argument and other similar methods of compiler objects only support
checking compiler flags. If they are used to check linker flags, the
results are very likely to be wrong and developers should be warned.
See issue #2762
Adds full_version to class Compiler. If set full_version will be printed
additionally.
Added support for CCompiler and CPPCompiler
Added support for gcc/g++, clang/clang++, icc.
We can't know if the .lib is a static or import library, but that's
a problem in general too. The only way to figure out if a specific
file is an import or a static library is to dump its symbols and check
if it starts with __imp or not.
Even then, some libs are hybrid import and static, i.e., they contain
references to DLLs for some symbols and also provide implementations
for other symbols so this is a difficult problem.
Closes https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/2659
We can now specify the library type we want to search for, and whether
we want to prefer static libraries over shared ones or the other way
around. This functionality is not exposed to build files yet.
This method accepts a single function that takes no arguments and
returns a single value which can be a value that can be cast to
a 64-bit signed integer, or a string, and returns that value.
Mostly useful for running foolib_version() functions that return the
currently-available version of libraries.
CCache requires this flag when building with precompiled headers.
Without it, the preprocessor fails and CCache fallbacks to running the
real compiler.
Users still need to set 'sloppiness' to 'pch_defines,time_macros' in
their ccache.conf file for CCache to cache builds that use precompiled
headers. See the CCache manual for more info:
https://ccache.samba.org/manual.html#_precompiled_headers
In addition to filtering libs out while generating the command-line, we
must also filter them out in find_library() otherwise these libs will be
detected as "found" on Windows with MSVC.
