All our cached_dep magic was totally useless since we ended up using
the same identifier for native and cross deps. Just nuke all this
cached_dep code since it is very error-prone and improve the
identifier generation instead.
For instance, this is broken *right now* with the `type_name` kwarg.
Add a bunch of tests to ensure that all this actually works...
Closes https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/1736
Currently only strings can be passed to the link_depends argument of
executable and *library, which solves many cases, but not every one.
This patch allows generated sources and Files to be passed as well.
On the implementation side, it uses a helper method to keep the more
complex logic separated from the __init__ method. This also requires
that Targets set their link_depends paths as Files, and the backend is
responsible for converting to strings when it wants them.
This adds tests for the following cases:
- Using a file in a subdir
- Using a configure_file as an input
- Using a custom_target as an input
It does not support using a generator as an input, since currently that
would require calling the generator twice, once for the -Wl argument,
and once for the link_depends.
Also updates the docs.
Move '-C' option into 'get_always_args' as we always generate C sources.
Add a branch in the dependency management to perform Vala-specific work
of adding '--pkg' and '--target-glib'.
Allow users to specify @CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR@ in generator arguments
to specify the current target source directory.
This is useful when creating protobuf generator objects in sub-directories
because protoc will then generate files in the expected location.
Fixes#1622.
Remove stray semicolon
Update documentation
This adds a set of private flags that are removed from the output of
`llvm-config --cppflags` before storing them. This is unfortunately
necessary since some versions of LLVM include absolute garbage like
'-DNDEBUG' in their CPP flags, and we don't want to pass those.
This implementation is obvious rather than efficient, but it's efficient
enough for our uses I think. It uses `type(self)` to guarantee that it
works even in subclasses or if the name of the class changes.
Refactor to use ExternalProgram for the command instead of duplicating
that code (badly). Also improve messages to say "or not executable"
when a script/command is not found.
Also allow ExternalPrograms to be passed as arguments to
run_command(). The only thing we're doing by preventing that is
forcing people to use prog.path()
The file will always exist by the time run_command() is invoked, so
there is no reason why we should forbid it. Also allow using File
objects as the command to run since strings are also allowed.
We never use preprocessed output anywhere except compiler checks,
so we don't care about the debugging information that it adds.
Just always disable it.

Provide a proper error message, rather than the current
"Command cannot have '@INPUT0@', since no input files were specified"
which doesn't actually tell us where things are going wrong.
This adds a depdendncy wrapper for llvm-config based on the wxwidgets
dependency. IT handles libs, version, include dir, and the llvm unique
concept of components. These components are individual pieces of the
LLVM library that may or may not be available depending on the platform.
Meson has a common pattern of using 'if len(foo) == 0:' or
'if len(foo) != 0:', however, this is a common anti-pattern in python.
Instead tests for emptiness/non-emptiness should be done with a simple
'if foo:' or 'if not foo:'
Consider the following:
>>> import timeit
>>> timeit.timeit('if len([]) == 0: pass')
0.10730923599840025
>>> timeit.timeit('if not []: pass')
0.030033907998586074
>>> timeit.timeit('if len(['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']) == 0: pass')
0.1154778649979562
>>> timeit.timeit("if not ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']: pass")
0.08259823200205574
>>> timeit.timeit('if len("") == 0: pass')
0.089759664999292
>>> timeit.timeit('if not "": pass')
0.02340641999762738
>>> timeit.timeit('if len("foo") == 0: pass')
0.08848102600313723
>>> timeit.timeit('if not "foo": pass')
0.04032287199879647
And for the one additional case of 'if len(foo.strip()) == 0', which can
be replaced with 'if not foo.isspace()'
>>> timeit.timeit('if len(" ".strip()) == 0: pass')
0.15294511600222904
>>> timeit.timeit('if " ".isspace(): pass')
0.09413968399894657
>>> timeit.timeit('if len(" abc".strip()) == 0: pass')
0.2023209120015963
>>> timeit.timeit('if " abc".isspace(): pass')
0.09571301700270851
In other words, it's always a win to not use len(), when you don't
actually want to check the length.
Use a titlecase for arbitrary language, this was we don't have 'C' in
lowercase.
Rename 'Static linking library $out' for 'Linking static target $out.'.
Add missing punctuation.
When cross compiling and looking for moc/uic/rcc you really want the
host binary.
Still fall back to QT_INSTALL_BINS as it appears that's the only
variable available with qt4.
It's much faster to do 'if a in dict' instead of 'if a in dict.keys()',
since the latter constructs an iterator and walks that iterator and then
tests equality at each step, and the former does a single hash lookup.
The intel fortran compiler "ifort" was not listed in the list of
default fortran compilers. This caused it to not be found unless
explicitly set via the FC.
