The old caching was a mess of spaghetti code layered over pasta code.
The new code is well-commented, is clear about what it's trying to do,
and uses a blacklist of keyword arguments instead of a whitelist while
generating identifiers for dep caching which makes it much more robust
for future changes.
The only side-effect of forgetting about a new keyword argument would
be that the dependency would not be cached unless the values of that
keyword arguments were the same in the cached and new dependency.
There are also more tests which identify scenarios that were broken
earlier.
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.
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
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()
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.
This detects and allows passing a generated file as a vs_module_def, it
also adds a testcase that tests using configure_file to generate the
.def file.
configure a detection method, for those types of dependencies that have
more than one means of detection.
The default detection methods are unchanged if 'method' is not
specified, and all dependencies support the method 'auto', which is the
same as not specifying a method.
The dependencies which do support multiple detection methods
additionally support other values, depending on the dependency.
I don't really know how to explain this briefly...
If you don't decorate this with dllimport, then a Cygwin runtime relocation
is used (a so called 'pseudo-reloc'). As the relocation offset is only 32
bits, this can fail on x86_64 if the DLL happens to be loaded more than 2GB
away from the reference.
If you decorate with dllimport, then access is indirected via a pointer,
imp_square_unsigned, which is fixed up by the loader.
Including newlib's <stdlib.h> brings in a '#define __has_include 0', so
using -U__has_include on the command line isn't going to remove it (so the
fallback doesn't happen and the test fails)
Instead use a '#undef __has_include' at the end of the prefix to excerise
this.
(newlib's <stdlib.h> is derived from FreeBSD, so the same problem will
probably be seen there)

This would make it harder to parse an option to mesonconf such
as -Dfoo:bar:baz:fun=value since it could mean either of these:
* For subproject 'foo:bar:baz', set the option 'fun' to 'value'
* For subproject 'foo:bar', an invalid option 'baz:fun' was set
To differentiate between these two we'd need to create the list of
subprojects first and then parse their options later, which
complicates the parsing quite a bit.
When install_dir was set for a shared_library, the import library
would not be installed at all, which is unintended.
Instead, install it into the custom directory if it is set, otherwise
install it in the default import library installation directory.
Includes a test for this.
You can now pass a list of strings to the install_dir: kwarg to
build_target and custom_target.
Custom Targets:
===============
Allows you to specify the installation directory for each
corresponding output. For example:
custom_target('different-install-dirs',
output : ['first.file', 'second.file'],
...
install : true,
install_dir : ['somedir', 'otherdir])
This would install first.file to somedir and second.file to otherdir.
If only one install_dir is provided, all outputs are installed there
(same behaviour as before).
To only install some outputs, pass `false` for the outputs that you
don't want installed. For example:
custom_target('only-install-second',
output : ['first.file', 'second.file'],
...
install : true,
install_dir : [false, 'otherdir])
This would install second.file to otherdir and not install first.file.
Build Targets:
==============
With build_target() (which includes executable(), library(), etc),
usually there is only one primary output. However some types of
targets have multiple outputs.
For example, while generating Vala libraries, valac also generates
a header and a .vapi file both of which often need to be installed.
This allows you to specify installation directories for those too.
# This will only install the library (same as before)
shared_library('somevalalib', 'somesource.vala',
...
install : true)
# This will install the library, the header, and the vapi into the
# respective directories
shared_library('somevalalib', 'somesource.vala',
...
install : true,
install_dir : ['libdir', 'incdir', 'vapidir'])
# This will install the library into the default libdir and
# everything else into the specified directories
shared_library('somevalalib', 'somesource.vala',
...
install : true,
install_dir : [true, 'incdir', 'vapidir'])
# This will NOT install the library, and will install everything
# else into the specified directories
shared_library('somevalalib', 'somesource.vala',
...
install : true,
install_dir : [false, 'incdir', 'vapidir'])
true/false can also be used for secondary outputs in the same way.
Valac can also generate a GIR file for libraries when the `vala_gir:`
keyword argument is passed to library(). In that case, `install_dir:`
must be given a list with four elements, one for each output.
Includes tests for all these.
