If a configure_file has an install_dir set, the supported install
argument is ignored, while this should have actually higher priority
than the install_dir itself.
Also check that correct types are used for `install` and `install_dir`.
Add test to verify this.
Fixes#3983
Building a cross compiler (`build == host != target`) is not cross
compiling. As such, it doesn't make sense to handle it under
`is_cross_build`.
(N.B. Building a standard library for a cross compiler would require
cross compiling, but Meson has support to do such a thing as part of a
compiler build currently.)
It is possible that the subproject has been downloaded already, in that
case there is no reason to not use it. If the subproject has not been
downlaoded already it will fail do_subproject().
Because we need to inherit them in some cases, and python's
keyword-or-positional arguments make this really painful, especially
with inheritance. They do this in two ways:
1) If you want to intercept the arguments you need to check for both a
keyword and a positional argument, because you could get either. Then
you need to make sure that you only pass one of those down to the
next layer.
2) After you do that, if the layer below you decides to do the same
thing, but uses the other form (you used keyword by the lower level
uses positional or vice versa), then you'll get a TypeError since two
layers down got the argument as both a positional and a keyword.
All of this is bad. Fortunately python 3.x provides a mechanism to solve
this, keyword only arguments. These arguments cannot be based
positionally, the interpreter will give us an error in that case.
I have made a best effort to do this correctly, and I've verified it
with GCC, Clang, ICC, and MSVC, but there are other compilers like Arm
and Elbrus that I don't have access to.
Currently, ComplierHolder.determine_args() unconditionally adds the link
arguments to the commmand, even if we aren't linking, because it doesn't
have access to the mode (preprocess, compile, link) that
_get_compiler_check_args() will use.
This leads to command lines like:
'cl testfile.c /nologo /showIncludes /c /Fooutput.obj /Od kernel32.lib
user32.lib gdi32.lib winspool.lib shell32.lib ole32.lib oleaut32.lib
uuid.lib comdlg32.lib advapi32.lib'
which clang-cl considers invalid; MSVS cl accepts this, ignoring the
unneeded libraries
Change from passing extra_args down to _get_compiler_check_args(), to
passing down a callback to CompilerHolder.determine_args() (with a bound
kwargs argument), so it can consult mode and kwargs to determine the args to
use.
Some compilers try very had to pretend they're another compiler (ICC
pretends to be GCC and Linux and MacOS, and MSVC on windows), Clang
behaves much like GCC, but now also has clang-cl, which behaves like MSVC.
This method provides an easy way to determine whether testing for MSVC
like arguments `/w1234` or gcc like arguments `-Wfoo` are likely to
succeed, without having to check for dozens of compilers and the host
operating system, (as you would otherwise have to do with ICC).
It is a common idiom to look for a function or a specific type or
a header in various locations/libraries, and it can be confusing to
see the (seemingly) identical compiler check being done multiple
times.
Now we print the dependencies being used when a compiler check is run
Before:
Checking for function "fbGetDisplay": NO
Checking for type "GLeglImageOES": YES
Checking for function "asinh": YES
After:
Checking for function "fbGetDisplay" with dependency egl: NO
Checking for type "GLeglImageOES" with dependencies glesv2, gl: YES
Checking for function "asinh" with dependency -lm: YES
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.
When dependency(), find_library(), find_program(), or
python.find_installation() return a not-found object and disabler is
true, they return a Disabler object instead.
If builddir and sourcedir have different drive letters, a relative path
doesn't exist, and os.path.relpath fails with a ValueError exception.
This just fixes the places which are hit by test cases in a simple-minded
way. There are several other uses of os.path.relpath(), which might be
suspect.
Fixes Issue #4323.
The check to see if a call to configure_file() overwrites the output of
a preceding call should perform the substitution for the output file
before doing the check.
Added tests to ensure the proper behaviour.
Instead of just putting these together in the interpreter, put them
together in `environment.py` so Meson's implementation can also better
take advantage of them.
meson.add_dist_script, introduced in #3906, did not accept any arguments
other than script name. Since all other meson.add_*_script methods
do accept args, this makes the dist script accept them as well.
It's fairly common on Linux and *BSD platforms to check for these
attributes existence, so it makes sense to me to have this checking
build into meson itself. Autotools also has a builtin for handling
these, and by building them in we can short circuit cases that we know
that these don't exist (MSVC).
Additionally this adds support for two common MSVC __declspec
attributes, dllimport and dllexport. This implements the declspec
version (even though GCC has an __attribute__ version that both it and
clang support), since GCC and Clang support the MSVC version as well.
Thus it seems reasonable to assume that most projects will use the
__declspec version over teh __attribute__ version.
Fixes:
meson.build:6:0: ERROR: Uncomparable version string 'unknown'.
This was previously partially fixed in a8694f4b, which only fixed it
for cached fallback dependencies.
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')
Allowing to use the new "feature" option type and allowing not to fail
on subproject if it is not necessary to fail.
By default subprojects are "required" so previous behaviour is not
changed.
Fixes#3880
The fallback to compilers.base_options was done after optname is changed
to have subproject prefix. Simplify the code by looping over all
dictionaries and only keep user_options separate because that one is
special.
