A custom_target, if install is set to true, will always be built by
default even if build_by_default is explicitly set to false.
Ensure that this does not happen if it's set explicitly. To keep
backward compatibility, if build_by_default is not set explicitly and
install is true, set build_by_default to true.
Fixes#4107
Previously, the configuration worked fine, but the compiler raised an
error. Now, we explicitly check for the existence of files and print a
useful error message if they do not exist.
Fixed-size hash makes paths shorter and prevents doubling of path length
because of subdir usage in target id: "subdir/id" would generate
"subdir/{subdir-without-slashes}@@id" target otherwise.
Export construct_id_from_path() to aid tests.
Add a separate unit test for this function to make sure it is not broken unexpectedly.
Closes#4226.
It's a (presumably unintentional) quirk of the current implementation of
SharedLibrary.determine_filenames() that if both name_suffix and
name_prefix are set, an import library isn't generated.
Adjust test 'common/25 library versions': Make the library have exports,
so an implib is generated with MSVC. Add implib to set of files expected
to be installed
Adjust test 'common/122 shared module': Add libnosyms implib to set of
files expected to be installed, except for MSVC, where none is generated
as it has no exports
Use the specified name_prefix for implib, rather than hardcoding it.
(This is needed to allow an installed library given name_prefix:'' and a
name starting with 'lib' to be linked with using -l. (This case is
handled specially in the pkgconfig module))
Handle clang's cl or clang-cl being in PATH, or set in CC/CXX
Future work: checking the name of the executable here seems like a bad idea.
These compilers will fail to be detected if they are renamed.
v2:
Update compiler.get_argument_type() test
Fix comparisons of id inside CCompiler, backends and elsewhere
v3:
ClangClCPPCompiler should be a subclass of ClangClCCompier, as well
Future work: mocking in test_find_library_patterns() is effected, as we
now test for a subclass, rather than self.id in CCompiler.get_library_naming()
If a subproject is not required and fails during its configuration, the
parent project continues, but should not include any target or state set
by the failed subproject. This fix ninja still trying to build targets
generated by subprojects before they fail in their configuration.
The 'build' object is now per-interpreter instead of being global. Once
a subproject interpreter succeed, values from its 'build' object are
merged back into its parent 'build' object.
Before, the mappings has been created over all the links, while it
actaully only used the Shared or Static Targets. This structure now is
tree like structured and cached, thus the results can be computed a lot
faster.
The generator step generate_install is now for EFL from 6 sec. down to
0.3s. Which improves the overall build time from ~20 sec. to ~14 sec.
there is a huge amount of isinstance calls, this reduces the amount of
these calls while splitting up a rather big function. It also assosiates
every target type with theire default install directory.
The problem with the earlier position of the generation code was, that
the results could not be cached, because the list of all link_deps was
overall different. However, it shared a special kind of subsets with
other build build targets.
Generating the set of subdirs that are required for linking, alongside
with the link dependencies brings the possibility of caching this.
This reduces the buildting from 1 min. in efl down to 20 sec. And
reduces the amount of 30872534 calls down.
this saves ~40 sec.
With this it is now possible to do
foobar = executable('foobar', ...)
meson.override_find_program('foobar', foobar)
Which is convenient for a project like protobuf which produces both a
dependency and a tool. If protobuf is updated to use
override_find_program, it can be used as
protobuf_dep = dependency('protobuf', version : '>=3.3.1',
fallback : ['protobuf', 'protobuf_dep'])
protoc_prog = find_program('protoc')
We now use the soversion to set compatibility_version and
current_version by default. This is the only sane thing we can do by
default because of the restrictions on the values that can be used for
compatibility and current version.
Users can override this value with the `darwin_versions:` kwarg, which
can be a single value or a two-element list of values. The first one
is the compatibility version and the second is the current version.

Ninja buffers all commands and prints them only after they are
complete. Because of this, long-running commands such as `cargo
build` show no output at all and it's impossible to know if the
command is merely taking too long or is stuck somewhere.
To cater to such use-cases, Ninja has a 'pool' with depth 1 called
'console', and all processes in this pool have the following
properties:
1. stdout is connected to the program, so output can be seen in
real-time
2. The output of all other commands is buffered and displayed after
a command in this pool finishes running
3. Commands in this pool are executed serially (normal commands
continue to run in the background)
This feature is available since Ninja v1.5

We now pass the current subproject to every FeatureNew and
FeatureDeprecated call. This requires a bunch of rework to:
1. Ensure that we have access to the subproject in the list of
arguments when used as a decorator (see _get_callee_args).
2. Pass the subproject to .use() when it's called manually.
3. We also can't do feature checks for new features in
meson_options.txt because that's parsed before we know the
meson_version from project()
* Use _get_callee_args to unwrap function call arguments, needed for
module functions.
* Move some FeatureNewKwargs from build.py to interpreter.py
* Print a summary for featurenew only if conflicts were found. The
summary now only prints conflicting features.
* Report and store featurenew/featuredeprecated only once
* Fix version comparison: use le/ge and resize arrays to not fail on
'0.47.0>=0.47'
Closes https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/3660
If the external program is a string that is meant to be searched in
PATH, we can't add a dependency on it at configure time because we don't
know where it will be at compile time.
D is not a 'c-like' language, but it can link to C libraries. The same
might be true of Rust in the future and Go when we add support for it.
This contains no functionality changes.
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`.
fixes#1942
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.
Refine #3277
According to what I read on the internet, on OSX, both MH_BUNDLE (module)
and MH_DYLIB (shared library) can be dynamically loaded using dlopen(), but
it is not possible to link against MH_BUNDLE as if they were shared
libraries.
Metion this as an issue in the documentation.
Emitting a warning, and then going on to fail during the build with
mysterious errors in symbolextractor isn't very helpful, so make attempting
this an error on OSX.
Add a test for that.
