Some warnings are out of the user's control, such as the RCC QT bug,
or the GNU windres bug, or our informational warning about
auto-disabling of options when -Db_bitcode is enabled.
Such warnings should not be fatal when --fatal-meson-warnings is
passed because there's no action that the user can take to fix it. The
only purpose it serves is to prevent people who use those features
from using --fatal-meson-warnings.
Machine files already supports `+` operator as an implementation detail,
since it's using eval(). Now make it an officially supported feature and
add a way to define constants that are used while evaluating an entry
value.
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
Generally, we'd want to use str() rather than repr() in error messages
anyhow, as that explicitly gives something designed to be read by
humans.
Sometimes {!r} is being used as a shortcut to avoid writing the quotes
in '{!s}'.
Unfortunately, these things aren't quite the same, as the repr of a
string containing '\' (the path separator on Windows) will have those
escaped.
We don't have a good string representation to use for the arbitrary
internal object used as an argument for install_data() when it's neither
a string nor file (which doesn't lead to a good error message), so drop
that for the moment.
A current rather untyped storage of options is one of the things that
contributes to the options code being so complex. This takes a small
step in synching down by storing the compiler options in dicts per
language.
Future work might be replacing the langauge strings with an enum, and
defaultdict with a custom struct, just like `PerMachine` and
`MachineChoice`.
It may not be obvious to users that these two ways to set build-types
override each other and specifying both is redundant, and conflicts
are resolved based on whichever is specified later.

With the current logic passing `--debug` will actually be parsed as
`-Ddebug=false`, which is absolutely not what is expected.
There is no case in which the presence of a boolean option in `--foo`
form will mean 'I want feature foo disabled', regardless of the
*default* value of that option.
Also includes a test.
Closes https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/4686
The previous code was assuming that options do not depend on each
other, and that you can set defaults using `dict.setdefault()`. This
is not true for `buildtype` + `optimization`/`debug`, so we add
defaults + overrides in the right order and use the options parsing
code later to compute the values.
Includes a test.
Closes https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/6752
This ensures that options are always parsed in the order in which they
were specified on the command-line, even with Python 3.5, and
non-CPython implementations compatible with CPython 3.5 and 3.6.

Currently it's just like if all builtin/base/compiler options are
yielding. This patch makes possible to have non-yielding builtin
options. The value in is overriden in this order:
- Value from parent project
- Value from subproject's default_options if set
- Value from subproject() default_options if set
- Value from command line if set
* Extend test_prefix_dependent_defaults unit test to cover default case
Extend test_prefix_dependent_defaults unit test to cover the default
case, when the default prefix is '/usr/local'. (On Windows, the default
prefix is 'c:/')
* Restore adjusting option defaults depending on the default prefix
Restore adjusting option defaults, depending on the default prefix.

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
Previously if a user tried to pass a command line build
option that contained a '%' character the command line
parser assumed that there was string interpolation to be
done. As there is no sense in such a scenario no code
provides any input for the interpolation. This then leads to
a failure.
In this commit we specifically override the defaults in
ConfigParser and set interpolation to None, which disables
command line build option interpolation.
