2021-06-22Add Visual Studio 2012/2013 backends (#8803)fanc999
* backends: Add a Visual Studio 2013 backend This is more-or-less a quick port from the VS2015 backend, except that we update the Visual Studio version strings and toolset versions accordingly. Also correct the generator string for Visual Studio 2015 in mesonbuild/cmake/common.py. * backend: Add VS2012 backend Similar to what we did for Visual Studio 2013, add a Visual Studio 2012 backend. * vs2010backend.py: Implement `link_whole:` if needed We actually need Visual Studio 2015 Update 2 to use `/WHOLEARCHIVE:`, which is what we are currently using for `link_whole:` on Visual Studio. For Visual Studio versions before that, we need to expand from the static targets that were indicated by `link_whole:`, and any of the sub-dependent targets that were pulled in via the dependent target's `link_whole:`. This wil ensure `link_whole:` would actually work in such cases. * vs2010backend.py: Handle objects from generated sources Unforunately, we can't use backends.determine_ext_objs() reliably, as the Visual Studio backends handle this differently. * vs2010backend.py: Fix generating VS2010 projects Visual Studio 2010 (at least the Express Edition) does not set the envvar %VisualStudioVersion% in its command prompt, so fix generating VS2010 projects by taking account into this, so that we can determine the location of vcvarsall.bat correctly. * whole archive test: Disable on vs2012/2013 backends too The Visual Studio 2012/2013 IDE has problems handling the items that would be generated from this test case, so skip this test when using --backend=vs[2012|2013]. This test does work for the Ninja backend when VS2012 or VS2013 is used, though. Consolidate this error message with XCode along with the vs2010 backend. * docs: Add the new vs2012 and vs2013 backends Let people know that we have backends for vs2012 and 2013. Also let people know that generating Visual Studio 2010 projects have been fixed and the pre-vs2015 backends now handle the `link_whole:` project option.

interpreter: Add checked kwarg to compiler.get_supported_arguments
2021-06-22extract_objects: test and document using the result in a custom_targetPaolo Bonzini
QEMU would like to use the result of extract_objects in a custom_target; examples are using objcopy, or using the object files as the key to look up command line arguments in compile_commands.json. This is slightly peculiar and not covered by the test suite, but it works; in order to avoid regressions, add a test case and document it.
2021-06-21fix: Ensure that build targets have all methods from ExternalProgramDaniel Mensinger
As a side-effect from #8885 `find_program()` returns now `Executable` objects when `meson.override_find_program` is called with an executable target. To resolve this conflict the missing methods from `ExternalProgram` are added to `BuildTarget`.

This reverts commit 72365e6856e688054938f6055af66f0ac83d261e. This is a vanity project that no longer exists. See discussion at #8890, which still requires further thought but we can at least start off by removing something clearly invalid.
2021-06-17intl custom dependencyEli Schwartz
Checking how to aquire the *gettext family of symbols portably is annoyingly complex, and may come from the libc, or standalone. builtin dependency: This detects if libintl is unneeded, because the *gettext family of symbols is available in the libc. system dependency: This detects if libintl is installed as separate software, linkable via -lintl; unfortunately, GNU gettext does not ship pkg-config files for it. Fixes #3929

Utility methods for feature objects
2021-06-08interpreter: add feature.disable_auto_if()Paolo Bonzini
Add a method to downgrade an option to disabled if it is not used. This is useful to avoid unnecessary search for dependencies; for example dep = dependency('dep', required: get_option('feature').disable_auto_if(not foo)) can be used instead of the more verbose and complex if get_option('feature').auto() and not foo then dep = dependency('', required: false) else dep = dependency('dep', required: get_option('feature')) endif or to avoid unnecessary dependency searches: dep1 = dependency('dep1', required: get_option('foo')) # dep2 is only used together with dep1 dep2 = dependency('dep2', required: get_option('foo').disable_auto_if(not dep1.found())) ``` Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
2021-06-08interpreter: add feature.require()Paolo Bonzini
Add a method to perform a logical AND on a feature object. The method also takes care of raising an error if 'enabled' is ANDed with false. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

2021-05-31interpreter: add feature.allowed()Paolo Bonzini
This method simplifies the conversion of Feature objects to booleans. Often, one has to use the "not" operator in order to treat "auto" and "enabled" the same way. "allowed()" also works well in conjunction with the require method that is introduced in the next patch. For example, if get_option('foo').require(host_machine.system() == 'windows').allowed() then src += ['foo.c'] config.set10('HAVE_FOO', 1) endif can be used instead of if host_machine.system() != 'windows' if get_option('foo').enabled() error('...') endif endif if not get_option('foo').disabled() then src += ['foo.c'] config.set10('HAVE_FOO', 1) endif Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

2021-05-19interpreter: Automatically add 'c' to languages when 'vala' is usedDylan Baker
This is so dumb, we can just insert C for you without you having to know that you're using C under the hood. This is nicer because: 1) Meson doesn't make the user add a language they're not explicitly using 2) If there was ever an implementaiton of Vala that didn't use C as it's assembly language, this wouldn't make any sense.

2021-05-18pkgconfig: Do not escape custom variablesXavier Claessens
We need to escape space in variables that gets into cflags or libs because otherwise we cannot split compiler args when paths contains spaces. But custom variables are unlikely to be path that gets used in cflags/libs, and escaping them cause regression in GStreamer that use space as separator in a list variable.

2021-04-28doc: update syntax description of immutabilityAlexander Lyashuk
"Stored by value" is more correct way to explain that example. Mutable vs immutable means that you cannot mutate the value (e.g. list vs tuple in Python), and the example shows that `var2` is actually mutable. Copying/storing a reference vs value is what what matters in the assignment, in Python `a=b` means `a` and `b` are references to the same list, while in meson `a=b` copies the value of `b` into `a`.
