This error message was quite confusing when triggered by
use of an absolute path to the include dir of an external dependency
(numpy in my case). Changing that to a relative dir also isn't
a solution, because Meson will *not* do the "busywork to make paths
work" that the error message says it will.
The check for whether or not a file is allowed to be accessed from a
subproject fails if the subproject is accessed via a symlink. Use the
absolute path of the subproject without resolving symlinks to fix the
check.
Extend unit test 106 to check for this in the future.
When a subproject is disabled on the initial configuration we should not
add it into self.coredata.initialized_subprojects because that will
prevent calling self.coredata.init_builtins() on a reconfigure if the
subproject gets enabled.
Fixes: #10225.
Fix "Tried to grab file outside current (sub)project" error when subproject exists within
a source tree but it is used through a symlink. Using subprojects as symlinks is very useful
feature when migrating an existing codebase to meson that all sources do not need to be
immediately moved to subprojects folder.
CT_OUTPUT_KW is the same OUTPUT_KW we use in lots of places. The most
distinctive thing about it is not that it's part of custom_target
(basically any other function that uses such a kwarg follows the same
rules due to using CustomTarget under the hood), but the fact that it
takes multiple outputs.
We validate a few things here, such as the non-presence of '@INPUT' in
an output name. These got moved out of the CustomTarget constructor in
commit 11f9638035 and into KwargInfo, but
only for kwargs that took multiple values. This caused configure_file()
and unstable_rust.bindgen() to stop checking for this.
Add a shared single-output KW and use it in both places. This now
dispatches to _output_validator.
configure_file now validates subdirectories in output names the same way
we do elsewhere, directly in the typed_kwargs and by specifying the
erroring kwarg.
Or any other reserved names. We check in add_target that the primary
name of any build target isn't on the forbidden list, but custom_target
allows names that are distinct from the output filenames, so we need to
check those too.
We would eventually still error out all the way at the end, with:
```
ERROR: Multiple producers for Ninja target "all". Please rename your targets.
```
But, if we can check that early and provide the underlying reason
(reserved name) alongside actually useful debugging info (a line
number), then why not?
Refactor the check into a small helper function in the process.
We don't want to allow targets that conflict with:
- our aliased meson-* targets for phony commands
- any meson-*/ directories we create for internal purposes
We do want to allow targets such as:
- our own meson-*.X manpages
There are a couple routes we could take.
Using a better restriction, such as `meson-internal__*`, is trivially
done for our aliased targets, but changing directory names is...
awkward. We probably cannot do this, and doing the former but not the
latter is not very useful.
We could also carefully allow patterns we know we won't use, such as
file extensions, but which the manpages need, which works for our
directories and for many aliased targets, but run_target() is
user-specified and can be anything.
Use a hybrid approach to cover both use cases. We will now allow target
names that fulfill *all* the following criteria:
- it begins with "meson-"
- it doesn't continue with "internal__"
- it has a file extension
The `install_headers` function now has an optional argument
`preserve_path` that allows installing multi-directory
headerfile structures that live alongside sourcecode with a
single command.
For example, the headerfile structure
headers = [
'one.h',
'two.h',
'alpha/one.h',
'alpha/two.h',
'alpha/three.h'
'beta/one.h'
]
can now be passed to `install_headers(headers, subdir: 'mylib', preserve_path: true)`
and the resulting directory tree will look like
{prefix}
└── include
└── mylib
├── alpha
│ ├── one.h
│ ├── two.h
│ └── three.h
├── beta
│ └── one.h
├── one.h
└── two.h
Fixes#3371
override_options makes no sense for custom_target as we don't use it for
anything. Also, this was added in commit c3c30d4b06
despite not being allowed in permittedKwargsc3c30d4b0.
For inexplicable reasons, we had a known_kwargs for custom_target that
looped over kwargs and issued a warning, not an error, for unknown
kwargs. It was impossible to ever hit that check to begin with, though,
ever since commit e08d735105 which added
permittedKwargs and obsoleted those manual checks with real errors.
So at one point override_options was specially permitted to be used
without emitting a warning, and then for about half a decade it was an
error, and then based on some dead code it was allowed again for a bit.
But through all this it doesn't do anything and isn't documented.
We were poking directly at the node, so if it was a FunctionNode then
this broke. Instead, just do a reverse lookup in the overrides table to
get the original find_program name.
Some projects treat meson.project_source_root() as the root of the
dependency files, because the project itself merely wraps a bunch of
datafiles. Our validation to make sure this doesn't point to another
subproject, made use of pathlib.Path's generator for all component
paths, which... did not include the path itself. So go ahead and
explicitly check that too. Add a test case to verify it while we are at
it.

This function can be used to add fundamental dependencies such as glib
to all build products in one fell swoop. This can be useful whenever,
due to a project's coding conventions, it is not really possible to
compile any source file without including the dependency.

This handles various edge cases:
- checks for sandbox violations just like all other functions
- warn for direntry issues
- check for generated files referred to via strings instead of the
returned object
(All valid use cases for wanting to sneak around the checks, are made to
work via commit bba588d8b03a9125bf5c4faaad31b70d39242b68.)
This allows tracking which subproject it came from at the time of
definition, rather than the time of use. As a result, it is no longer
possible for one subproject which knows that another subproject installs
some data files, to expose those data files via its own
declare_dependency.
There are somewhat common, reasonable and legitimate use cases for a
dependency to provide data files installed to /usr which are used as
command inputs. When getting a dependency from a subproject, however,
the attempt to directly construct an input file from a subproject
results in a sandbox violation. This means not all dependencies can be
wrapped as a subproject.
One example is wayland-protocols XML files which get scanned and used to
produce C source files.
Teach Meson to recognize when a string path is the result of fetching a
dep.get_variable(), and special case this to be exempt from subproject
violations.
A requirement of this is that the file must be installed by
install_data() or install_subdir() because otherwise it is not actually
representative of what a pkg-config dependency would provide.
This moves generally useful logic from GNOME module's
_get_native_binary() into find_program() implementation. We could decide
later to expose it as public API.
Adds a new debug() function that can be used in the meson.build to
log messages to the meson-log.txt that will not be printed to stdout
when configuring the project.
Previously subprojects inherited languages already added by main
project, or any previous subproject. This change to have a list of
compilers per interpreters, which means that if a subproject does not
add 'c' language it won't be able to compile .c files any more, even if
main project added the 'c' language.
This delays processing list of compilers until the interpreter adds the
BuildTarget into its list of targets. That way the interpreter can add
missing languages instead of duplicating that logic into BuildTarget for
the cython case.
We currently don't handle subdirectories correctly in
structured_sources, which is problematic. To make this easier to handle
correctly, I've simply changed `structured_sources` to only use Files
and not strings as an implementation detail.
We need this for the python module, as implemented in commit
e8375d20a9, but that then crashed in
subprojects because those options were never forwarded to the subproject
interpreter.
We are supposed to fallback on the fallback when running the vcstagger,
but instead we errored out during configure.
Fixes regression in commit b402817fb6.
Before this, we used shutil.which || relative paths, and in the latter
case if it could not be found we still wrote out that path but it failed
to run in vcstagger. Now, we use find_program under the hood, so it
needs to be run in non-fatal mode, and if it is not found, we simply
keep the original command string. It's a VCS command, so if we magically
end up finding it at runtime because it was installed after running
configure, that is *fine*.
It used to be possible to do this:
```
bomb = find_program('nonexisting', required: false)
test('traceback during meson test', bomb)
```
and it would in fact bomb out, with:
```
[0/1] Running all tests.

This is something we explicitly check for elsewhere, for example when
using a not-found program as a command in a custom target or generator.
Check for it when making a test too, and error out with a similar error.

These are only used for type checking, so don't bother importing them at
runtime.
Generally add future annotations at the same time, to make sure that
existing uses of these imports don't need to be quoted.
