This is the argument to name the implib when using the Visual Studio
Linker. This is needed by LDC and DMD when using link.exe or
lld-link.exe on windows, and is really a linker argument not a compiler
argument.
This allows the harness to apply the version correctly, putting it in the right
place, dropping the right amount of numbers, etc.
pdb taking a version allows it to be more easily copied from the
shared_lib type.
DMD and LDC are a real pain to use as linkers. On Unices they invoke the C
compiler as the linker, just like meson does. This means we have to figure out
what C compiler they're using and try to pass valid arguments to that compiler
if the D compiler doesn't understand the linker arguments we want to pass. In
this case that means gcc or clang. We can use-the -Xcc to pass arguments
directly to the C compiler without dmd/ldc getting involved, so we'll use that.
This was never really true of the D compilers, it made them more
complicated than necessary and was incorrect in many cases. Removing it
causes no regressions on Linux, at least in our rather limited test
cases).
The old logic was completely broken, and didn't even assert that the
specified section was found at all. The CPU families test was broken
because of this. Luckily, the table didn't go out of sync with the
code.
It now also doesn't assume that each section has only one table. This
fixes the test now that we document the buildtype/optimization/debug
mapping in a second table inside the `Universal options` section.
Otherwise you have to hunt through the source code. Specifically, this
is defined in `mesonbuild/coredata.py`: `set_buildtype_from_others()`
and `set_others_from_buildtype()`
As any child of BuildTargetHolder might need the name of the object,
provides a method to get object name.
This is useful in gst-build to display the plugin name and not
the filename.
This commit annotates most of interpreterbase.py. However,
there are stil the @wraps missing, since I am unsure what
the types are supposed to be here.
This also fixes that the keys in ArgumentNode.kwargs are
all of the type BaseNode now. Before this commit, it was
possible that both strings and Nodes where used as keys.
the check for which files can be compiled are called again and again on
the same files over and over again. Caching this here shaves off 11s of
the build time of efl (which has grown in the last 3 versions to over 40
sec. again)
in order to deduplicate arguments as much as possible, we need to check
if a argument is already part of the list. Which is quite slow because
we are checking 3 lists for that.
In smaller projects this might be not of interested. However, in efl
things are quite "heavy", alone generating the ninja file took 40 sec..
16 sec. are spent in __iadd__ of CompilerArgs.
What this patch does to speed this all up is:
1. We only check if a element is in post when we know that it must be in
post same for pre.
2. the checks for if we already do contain a specific value are now done
via a dict, and not via the list.
This overall brings the time from 16 sec. spent in __iadd__ to 9 sec. in
__iadd__.
Another possible solution for all this is to have a internal structure
of CompileArgs of trees, so you have the "basic" layer of arguments
where the position does not matter. Additionally, you have two stacks of
lists, the pre stack and the post stack, duplicates can then be checked
when itereting, which would safe another ~4s in terms of efl. However, i
do not have time for this undertaking right now.
There were two things mypy was warning about:
1) it doesn't understand hasattr()
2) It was possible for mlog.{error,warning,deprecation} to get passed
multiple values for the once keyword argument.
Mips architectures may have `el` on the end, to differentiate the little
endian from the big endian variants. We don't encode endianness in the
cpu names, so ensure we've stripped that.
