install: false was only available since 0.50, so we should not warn
people who support older versions to use something they cannot.
Fortunately, we can do FeatureDeprecated for this -- and then it even
gets summarized. Unfortunately, it's not well used, and certainly isn't
here.
It has always been working even if not documented and there is no reason
to not accept it. However, change "True/False" to "true/false" to be
consistent with meson language.
Fixes: #9436
Now, warnings are unconditionally raised when parsing the wrap file,
whether they are used or not. That being said, these warnings literally
just check for a couple of keys used in the .wrap ini file.
Moving these checks from the time of use to the time of loading, means
that we no longer report warnings only when originally downloading or
extracting the file or VCS repo.
It also means we no longer report warnings in one subproject, when a
wrap file is picked up from a different subproject because the first
subproject actually does a dependency lookup. This caused issues for the
WrapDB tooling, which uses patch_directory everywhere and the
superproject requires a suitable minimum version of meson for this...
but individual wraps might use a much lower version, and would then
raise a warning (in strict mode, converted to an error) when it resolved
a dependency from another WrapDB project.

This reverts commit c0efa7ab22.
This was a nice idea, or a beautiful hack depending on your perspective.
Unfortunately, it turns out to be a lot harder than we originally
thought. By operating on bare nodes, we end up triggering a FeatureNew
on anything that isn't a string literal, rather than anything that
isn't a string.
Since no one else has come up with a better idea for implementing a
FeatureNew, let's just revert it. Better to not have a warning, than
have it trigger way too often.
This replaces the absolute hack of using
```
install_subdir('nonexisting', install_dir: 'share')
```
which requires you to make sure you don't accidentally or deliberately
have a completely different directory with the same name in your source
tree that is full of files you don't want installed. It also avoids
splitting the name in two and listing them in the wrong order.
You can also set the install mode of each directory component by listing
them one at a time in order, and in fact create nested structures at
all.

This is the final refactoring for extracting the bultin object
logic out of Interpreterbase. I decided to do both arrays and
dicts in one go since splitting it would have been a lot more
confusing.
All changes were created by running
"pyupgrade --py3-only"
and committing the results. Although this has been performed in the
past, newer versions of pyupgrade can automatically catch more
opportunities, notably list comprehensions can use generators instead,
in the following cases:
- unpacking into function arguments as function(*generator)
- unpacking into assignments of the form x, y = generator
- as the argument to some builtin functions such as min/max/sorted
Also catch a few creeping cases of new code added using older styles.
We wrote:
ERROR: install_emptydir keyword argument "install_mode" permissions string must
be exactly 9 characters, got "4" in the form rwxr-xr-x
Let's change this around to be easier to read.
Also, 1-based numbering was used (for components) and 0-based for "bits".
And actually the "bits" are not bits, but octal digits. So say "permissions
character 1", "permissions character 2".
And finally change "must be … if provided" to "can only be". (If it isn't
provided, it "is not", so the sentence is still valid. The user will only
get this error if they provide something, so we don't need to be super precise
and say "if provided". And then we avoid confusing the reader whether
it's "if provided" attaches to the the "False" or to the whole sentence.)
This does not convert the build side, or remove any of the checking it
does. We still need that for other callers of custom target. What we'll
do for those is add an internal interface that defaults things, then
we'll be able to have those callers do their own validation, and the
CustomTarget validation machinary can be removed.
Fixes#9096
This will happen as we transition from doing the conversion in the
function body to using the KwargInfo to make that change. If we get one
just return it.
Another commit in my quest to rid InterpreterBase from all higher
level object processing logic.
Additionally, there is a a logic change here, since `str.join` now
uses varargs and can now accept more than one argument (and supports
list flattening).
This patch adds a new meson built-in option for cython, allowing it to
target C++ instead of C as the intermediate language. This can, of
course, be done on a per-target basis using the `override_options`
keyword argument, or for the entire project in the project function.
There are some things in this patch that are less than ideal. One of
them is that we have to add compilers in the build layer, but there
isn't a better place to do it because of per target override_options.
There's also some design differences between Meson and setuptools, in
that Meson only allows options on a per-target rather than a per-file
granularity.
Fixes#9015
