2023-11-02scan-build: Exclude subprojects from scan-build reportAndrew McNulty
When a user invokes the scan-build target that Meson generates all subprojects are included in the resulting report. This commit modifies the invocation of scan-build to exclude all bugs that scan-build finds in the subprojects from the final report. A release note has also been added describing the changed behaviour.
2023-10-20Support -j as a shorthand for --num-processesTristan Partin
We already use -j to support parallelism in meson compile. So let's add the same for meson test and meson subprojects.
2023-10-19pkgconfig: Allow setting both pkgconfig and pkg-configXavier Claessens
This was previously allowed for different usage. Keep allowing it, but with non fatal deprecation notice, and ignore the value from legacy pkgconfig.
2023-10-19mtest: set ASAN_OPTIONS and UBSAN_OPTIONS to abort by defaultSam James
Do as we do for MALLOC_PERTURB and set a sensible value for both ASAN_OPTIONS and UBSAN_OPTIONS to abort on failure and give more helpful output at the same time. We do not set these options if the user has exported a value themselves to allow override. In the last week alone, I've observed two cases where people were expecting sanitizers to abort on failure and were surprised when it didn't: 1) https://github.com/git/git/commit/252d693797912ddb2684733160170f0408b73274 2) https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/commit/c47df433f7bc9936fc59b323ca5e53ea4a04f40e Correct this - which is in-line with meson's DWIM/DTRT philosophy.

2023-10-09interpreter: Add support for cargo subprojectXavier Claessens
2023-10-09interpreter: add <lang>_(static|shared)_argsDylan Baker
Which allow passing arguments specifically to the static or shared libraries. For design, this is all handled in the interpreter, by the build layer the arguments are combined into the existing fields. This limits changes required in the mid and backend layers
2023-10-09interpreter: Handle BuildTarget.vala_args as Files in the interpreterDylan Baker
Way back in Meson 0.25, support was added to `vala_args` for Files. Strangely, this was never added to any other language, though it's been discussed before. For type safety, it makes more sense to handle this in the interpreter level, and pass only strings into the build IR. This is accomplished by adding a `depend_files` field to the `BuildTarget` class (which is not exposed to the user), and adding the depend files into that field, while converting the arguments to relative string paths. This ensures both the proper build dependencies happen, as well as that the arguments are always strings.

2023-10-05mcompile: add suffix as an additional parameterDudemanguy
Since the previous commit allows for more scenarios with name collisions, it makes sense to expand the compile command so that it can also take into account suffixes. i.e. meson compile -C build foo.exe can now work if the executable has an exe suffix along with being named foo.
2023-10-05build: use suffix when getting target id for exesDudemanguy
When checking target names, meson explictly forbids having multiple targets with the same name. This is good, but it is strict and it is impossible to have targets with the same basename and differing suffixes (e.g. foo and foo.bin) in the same directory. Allow this for executables by including the suffix (if it exists) in the interal target id. So foo would be foo@exe and foo.bin would be foo.bin@exe.

2023-09-25Add clang-tidy-fix targetLei YU
Add the `clang-tidy-fix` target to apply clang-tidy fixes to the source code. This is done by calling `run-clang-tidy` with `-fix` argument. Add a test case to run `clang-tidy-fix` and verify the file is changed. Signed-off-by: Lei YU <yulei.sh@bytedance.com>
2023-09-22Allow to fallback to cmake subprojectXavier Claessens
The method can be overridden by setting the `method` key in the wrap file and always defaults to 'meson'. cmake.subproject() is still needed in case specific cmake options need to be passed. This also makes it easier to extend to other methods in the future e.g. cargo.

It should refer to `add_project_arguments`, not `add_global_arguments`.
2023-09-19Rust: Replace rust_crate_type with rust_abiXavier Claessens
Meson already knows if it's a shared or static library, user only need to specify the ABI (Rust or C).

2023-09-09gnome.mkenum_simple(): Fix include path when header is in subdirXavier Claessens
It was generating #include with the basename of every header file. That assumes that every directory where there are headers are also included into search path when compiling the .c file. Change to use path relative to current subdir, which can be both in build or source directory. That means that we assume that when the .c file is compiled, the target has a include_directories pointing to the directory where gnome.mkenum_simple() has been called, which is generally '.' and added automatically. Also fix type annotation to only allow str and File sources, other types have never been working, it would require to iterate over custom target outputs, etc. Fixes: #7582
2023-09-09Add support for padding zeroes in int.to_string() methodNomura
2023-09-09Add macro_name option to configure_fileNicholas Vinson
Allow macro_name to be speficied as a parameter to configure_file(). This allows C macro-style include guards to be added to configure_file()'s output when a template file is not given. This change simplifies the creation of configure files that define macros with dynamic names and want the C-style include guards.
2023-09-09clike compilers: fix cross_* functions' includeMoody Liu
A standard C library may not exist for cross-compile environments, thus the existence of <stdio.h> cannot be guaranteed. Use <stddef.h> instead, this header contains compiler-specific defines thus it usually comes from the compiler.

2023-09-07Add compiler.has_defineMarvin Scholz
Adds a new method to the compiler object, has_define. This makes it possible to check if a preprocessor macro/define is set or not. This is especially helpful if the define in question is empty, for example: #define MESON_EMPTY_DEFINE This would yield the same results as a missing define with the existing get_define method, as it would return an empty string for both cases. Therefore this additional method is needed.
2023-09-05wrap: Use MESON_PACKAGE_CACHE_DIR as default packagecache pathXavier Claessens
Allow packagecache to contain already extracted directory to match what some distro does with Cargo source packages in /usr/share/cargo/registry. Note that there is no need to lock the cache directory because we download into a temporary name and atomically rename afterward. It means we could be downloading the same file twice, but at least integrity is guaranteed. Fixes: #12211

2023-08-27FAQ: MinGW UCRT are compatible with MSVC and also use libfoo.aXavier Claessens
Prior to Windows 10, libfoo.a were usually not usable with MSVC. This is not true any more since Autotools projects built with UCRT produce libfoo.a that are compatible with MSVC. This is another reason for using that naming convention in Meson.
2023-08-25msetup: Update options when builddir is already configuredXavier Claessens
`meson setup -Dfoo=bar builddir` command was returning success ignoring new option values. This now also update options. It is useful because it means `meson setup -Dfoo=bar builddir && ninja -C builddir` works regardless whether builddir already exists or not, and when done in a script, changing options in the script will automatically trigger a reconfigure if needed. This was already possible by always passing --reconfigure argument, but that triggers a reconfigure even when options did not change.

2023-08-17Revert "Add fs.relative_to()"Eli Schwartz
This reverts commit f52bcaa27fc125ab9ae583af466ba99c164169f3. It did not pass CI, and was merged anyway because there were two CI errors in the same cygwin job. The other error was not the fault of this commit, and since cygwin errors were glossed over because they were "expected", the presence of a new error *added* by this commit was overlooked. Per the meson development policy, PRs which result in CI errors can/should be reverted at will, no questions asked.
2023-08-17fix style errors in fs.relative_to implementationEli Schwartz
In commit f52bcaa27fc125ab9ae583af466ba99c164169f3 a few issues were added: - doc typo - imports for utils.universal are not intended to be directly used, it's an internal wrapper that exists solely to make mesonlib work well as it always did while simultaneously allowing `meson --internal` codepaths to avoid importing anything other than an extremely stripped down core - type annotation specific import was imported at runtime scope
