2021-10-10ar linker: generate thin archives for uninstalled static librariesEli Schwartz
Since they will never be used outside of the build directory, they do not need to literally contain the .o files, and references will be sufficient. This covers a major use of object libraries, which is that the static library would potentially take up a lot of space by including another copy of every .o file. Fixes #9292 Fixes #8057 Fixes #2129

Time to recommend them again. * update zipapp documentation to recommend the current packaging script Also update the website documentation to mention this at all.

2021-10-09optinterpreter: Add deprecated kwargXavier Claessens
It can be either: - boolean: the option is completely deprecated. - list: some choices are deprecated. - dict: some choices are deprecated and replaced by another. Fixes: #7444

2021-10-08add install_emptydir functionEli Schwartz
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. Fixes #1604 Properly fixes #2904

2021-10-07modules/gnome: deprecate yelp variadic sourcesDylan Baker
Yelp currently can take sources two different ways, the first is via variadic arguments, the second is by a keyword argument. If the keyword is passed then the variadic arguments are silently ignored, which is obviously not ideal. Fortunately the variadic form was never documented, and is likely not in wide use. This patch fixes it by deprecating the variadic form, and warning if both are passed. It does not change behavior as someone may be relying on it.

2021-09-25interpreter: Introduce StringHolderDaniel Mensinger
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).
2021-09-24compilers/rust: Add support for clippyDylan Baker
Clippy is a compiler wrapper for rust that provides an extra layer of linting. It's quite popular, but unfortunately doesn't provide the output of the compiler that it's wrapping in it's output, so we don't detect that clippy is rustc. This small patch adds a new compiler class (that is the Rustc class with a different id) and the necessary logic to detect that clippy is in fact rustc) Fixes: #8767

2021-09-24compilers/rust: Implement warning levelsDylan Baker
Currently this implements 3 warning levels, 1 and 2 are just the "default" set by rustc, 3, is "everything is a warning", and 0 is "nothign is a warning".
2021-09-24rust: Add werror argumentsDylan Baker
2021-09-24Add option to to transpile Cython to C++Dylan Baker
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
2021-09-12new custom dependency lookup for iconvEli Schwartz
Also internally needed by intl, so add that as a proxied dependency instead of coding it manually.
2021-09-10docs: add note about built-in options supportePirat
Older meson versions would not honor the `<lang>_args` and `<lang>_link_args` in the built-in options section, add a note about this to the relevant section as it can cause quite some surprises when using a crossfile with an older meson version.

2021-09-01add release note formally allowing run_target in an aliasEli Schwartz
We've now fixed it so it works, and it provides useful functionality, e.g. creating a custom target that builds multiple gettext domains in one action.
2021-09-01msvc: Assume UTF8 source by defaultXavier Claessens
Currently every project that uses UTF8 for its source files must add '/utf-8' argument otherwise they don't work non-English locale MSVC. Since meson.build itself is assumed to be UTF8 by default, seems better to assume it for source files by default too. For example: - https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-build/-/blob/master/meson.build#L62 - https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/blob/main/meson.build#L29
2021-08-31i18n module: provide targets as return value for gettext()Eli Schwartz
Users may wish to make use of these files for their own purposes. For example, the -pot and -update-po pseudo targets could be reused in an alias_target(), and at least one person wanted to reuse the built .mo files as custom_target input. Fixes #6227
