intel compiler's defaults are different enough from MSVC and GNU
that it's necessary to set specific defaults for Intel compilers.
This corrects/improves behaviors initially addressed in b1c8f765fa
If a user passes -fuse-ld=gold to gcc or clang, they expect that they'll
get ld.gold, not whatever the default is. Meson currently doesn't do
that, because it doesn't pass these arguments to the linker detection
logic. This patch fixes that. Another case that this is needed is with
clang's --target option
This is a bad solution, honestly, and it would be better to use $LD or a
cross/native file but this is needed for backwards compatability.
Fixes#6057
Currently this is done at the instance level, but we need it at the
class level to allow compiler "lang" args to be gotten early enough.
This patch also removes a couple of instance of branch/leaf classes
providing their own implementation that is identical to the Compiler
version.
There are two awful things about CompilerArgs, one is that it directly
inherits from list, and there are a lot of subtle gotcahs with
inheriting from builtin types. The second is that the class allows
arguments to be passed in whatever order. That's bad. This also fully
annotates the CompilerArgs class, so mypy can type check it for us.
`from foo import` should be used sparingly because of namespace
pollution, especially since those names will be exported
unconditionally. For typing this is extra annoying because anytime
someone wants to use another symbol from the typing module they have to
add it to the import line. Use `import typing` to avoid all of this.
Some slight refactoring for the dependency classes and
I switched the elbrus compiler to the GnuLikeCompiler.
This is also the correct use according to the documentation
of GnuLikeCompiler.
This puts appropriate default options across buildtype for Intel and
Intel-Cl compilers, for C, C++ and Fortran. Prior to this PR, the
behavior of Intel compilers vs. GNUlike was not the same, in
particular, debug traceback available by default for GNUlike compilers
was not present with Intel compilers.
Since version 9.1, GCC provides support for the D programming language. Thus it
is easy to build a cross-compiler for D, such as aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu-gdc.
However to cross-compile a Meson project using D, using a cross build definition
such as the following is not enough:
```
[binaries]
d = '/path/to/aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu-gdc'
exe_wrapper = '/path/to/qemu-aarch64-static'
[properties]
needs_exe_wrapper = true
[host_machine]
system = 'linux'
cpu_family = 'aarch64'
cpu = 'cortex-a53'
endian = 'little'
```
Indeed, "exe_wrapper" is not be taken into account. Build will fail with:
```
Executables created by D compiler /path/to/aarch64-uknown-linux-gnu-gdc are not runnable.
```
This patch fixes this by reworking:
- detect_d_compiler() to properly get exe_wrapper and D compilers and detect the
one available.
- Dcompiler to properly handle exe_wrapper.
It would be very challenging if not futile to make has_function work for Fortran.
The meson.get_compiler('fortran').links() works very well instead.
As a reference, CMake's check_fortran_function_exists is completely broken in general.
This change raises a useful MesonException instead of giving bizarre errors.
These compilers invoke external linkers and have the appropriate .linker
property set. Therefore, BasicLinkerIsCompilerMixin appears to be
misplaced.
It used to work by chance, because BasicLinkerIsCompilerMixin failed to
override the get_allow_undefined_link_args method. The D compilers do
not provide their own get_allow_undefined_link_args, because they expect
to inherit it from Compiler, which simply delegates it to the linker.
Now that BasicLinkerIsCompilerMixin correctly overrides that method with
a stub, it broke compilers that relied on the buggy behavior.
