We want to talk about the kwargs to the custom_target() function, but
tried to link to custom_tgt instead, which is not a function. It is an
object, but this was the wrong reference method for a type.
We want the function anyway, so use that.
Logically, i18n.merge_file cannot ever take a MULTI_OUTPUT_KW, but it
does take a CT_OUTPUT_KW-like interface.
Actually trying to pass multiple merge_file outputs causes the
msgfmthelper script to be entirely malformed in the arguments it
accepts, and treat the broken one like a --flag, then exit with argparse
errors.
Even if we somehow assumed that somehow it was designed to actually
allow this, msgfmt doesn't support conceptually passing multiple outputs
so that would be a msgfmt error instead of an error inside the guts of
`meson --internal msgfmthelper`.
Same logic applies again for the itstool command and the itstool
internal helper.
Catch this error at configuration time by using the single-output kwarg
form.
Likewise, it's totally nonsense to accept multiple install_dir or
install_tags, and ever since commit 11f9638035
the CustomTarget itself won't even check this.
Users may wish to make use of these files for their own purposes.
For example, the -pot and -update-po pseudo targets could be reused in
an alias_target(), and at least one person wanted to reuse the built .mo
files as custom_target input.
Fixes#6227
D lang compilers have an option -release (or similar) which turns off
asserts, contracts, and other runtime type checking. This patch wires
that up to the b_ndebug flag.
Fixes#7082
This allows us to more easily have the documentation in sync with
the source code as people will have to document new features etc
right at the time where they implement it.
