2025-01-08rust: add 2024 editionPaolo Bonzini
Rust edition 2024 is being released in February, add support for rust_std=2024. Resolves: #14074 Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
2025-01-08rust: add warning_level=0 to downloaded Cargo subprojectsPaolo Bonzini
This adds --cap-lints allow, matching how Cargo builds them. In the case of Cargo, this is only applied to non-path dependencies. Without this change, clippy will complain about dependencies as well. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
2025-01-08rust: change warning_level=0 to "--cap-lints allow"Paolo Bonzini
This is a better and more backwards-compatible way to disable all warnings, compared to "-A warnings". The Rust RFC (https://rust-lang.github.io/rfcs/1193-cap-lints.html) explains the rationale: > We would very much like to be able to modify lints, however. For example > rust-lang/rust#26473 updated the missing_docs lint to also look for missing > documentation on const items. This ended up breaking some crates in the > ecosystem due to their usage of #![deny(missing_docs)]. While at it, document that Rust deviates from the other languages in its interpretation of warning_level=0. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

2025-01-07ninja backend: don't rebuild all tests by defaultEli Schwartz
When running `ninja all` we shouldn't build testsuite programs as these might not be wanted e.g. in order to just install the project. We do want them to be built when running `ninja test`. Since meson 0.63 we actually have a dedicated ninja alias for test dependencies -- move these from the "all" rule to the dedicated test/benchmark rules.

2024-12-29dependencies: add custom atomic dependencyDudemanguy
Almost exactly the same as how the dl dependency works. On certain systems (like BSDs that use clang), stdatomic is provided by compiler-rt and doesn't need a separate library explictly linked. On a typical GNU/LINUX system, atomic is a separate library that must be explictly found and linked against. So just add a builtin and system method for these two use cases.
2024-12-19rust: raise a warning if clippy is used instead of rustcPaolo Bonzini
clippy-driver is not meant to be a general-purpose compiler front-end. Since Meson can now provide natively the ability to invoke clippy, raise a warning if someone uses it that way. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
2024-12-19ninjabackend: add support for "ninja clippy"Paolo Bonzini
Add a target that builds all crates that could be extern to others, and then reruns clippy. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
2024-12-19scripts: convert run_tool to asyncioPaolo Bonzini
This improves the handling of keyboard interrupt, and also makes it easy to buffer the output and not mix errors from different subprocesses. This is useful for clang-tidy and will be used by clippy as well. In addition, the new code supports MESON_NUM_PROCESSES. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
2024-12-19introspect: add machine to target_sourcesPaolo Bonzini
Even though the "targets" introspection info already includes the command line arguments used to invoke the compiler, this is not enough to correlated with the "compilers" introspection info and get extra information from there. Together with the existing "language" key, adding a "machine" key is enough to identify completely an entry in the compilers info. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
2024-12-19mtest: move determine_worker_count to utils, generalizePaolo Bonzini
It is useful to apply a limit to the number of processes even outside "meson test", and specifically for clang tools. In preparation for this, generalize determine_worker_count() to accept a variable MESON_NUM_PROCESSES instead of MESON_TESTTHREADS, and use it throughout instead of multiprocessing.cpu_count().

2024-11-17docs: fix description of `py.install_sources` argumentsRalf Gommers
There is actually very little overlap between `install_sources` and `install_data` in arguments they accept: only 2/7 keywords for `install_data` apply to `install_sources`. Closes gh-12601

2024-11-05Document hotdoc.generate_doc(depends:) kwargFrank Dana
Document the results of commit bcc127b3f, which added 'depends' and deprecated using 'dependencies' for custom targets. Fixes: #11479
2024-11-04Add archiver to reference tablesSebastian Ehlert
Meson allows to set the archiver via the `AR` environment variable and a native / cross file. Only the latter approach seems to be documented. This patch adds the `AR` environment variable to the reference tables next to the compilers.
2024-11-01modules/wayland: document that scan_xml can take any protocol.Érico Nogueira
The quick example can be slightly misleading in implying that scan_xml must use find_protocol, which is not the case. So explicitly mention it in the scan_xml docs.
2024-10-31Correct typo in example Python module optionLuke Smith
python.install_env is the correct command, as documented in https://mesonbuild.com/Builtin-options.html#python-module. python.install_venv causes an error, it is not immediately obvious that the slight typo is the cause.
2024-10-28external-project: Setup devenv to run programsXavier Claessens
2024-10-26Reimplement several methods for Fortran compilersSébastien Villemot
The output_is_64bit, sizeof, cross_sizeof, compute_int and cross_compute_int methods are reimplemented for Fortran compilers. Those inherited from CLikeCompiler do not work since they assume C or C++. Note that those tests rely on Fortran 2008 features (notably the c_sizeof operator). Closes #12757
2024-10-24cargo: Fix feature resolutionXavier Claessens
Introduce a global Cargo interpreter state that keeps track of enabled features on each crate. Before generating AST of a Cargo subproject, it downloads every sub-subproject and resolves the set of features enabled on each of them recursively. When it later generates AST for one its dependencies, its set of features and dependencies is already determined.

2024-10-05docs: Add windres to cross-compiling exampleandy5995
2024-10-04docs: Mention that rust edition/standard 2018 or later should be usedDylan Baker
As the 2018 standard changes the way rust handles externs, and is the first edition that allows `--extern crate=path` to completely replace (in all but a few corner cases) the use of `extern crate` in the rust files.
2024-10-02Document the .kernel() and .subsystem() methodsDylan Baker
Which were added in Meson 1.2, but don't have entires in the reference manual.
2024-10-02docs: Use examples for build_machine.cpu() that genuinely existSimon McVittie
Previously, the documentation said that the CPU name might be amd64, but in fact x86_64 (AMD64) machines are detected as x86_64 in both cpu() and cpu_family() during native builds. Reference: https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=libglvnd&arch=amd64&ver=1.7.0-1%2Bb1&stamp=1714222481&raw=0 Instead, mention the only common case for more-specific CPU names other than 32-bit x86, namely 32-bit ARM. On Debian's autobuilders (which are running 32-bit user-space on a 64-bit-capable CPU), native builds genuinely do present as `armv8l`: https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=libglvnd&arch=armhf&ver=1.7.0-1%2Bb1&stamp=1714223924&raw=0 On other machines, they might be some older CPU functionality level. At the time of writing, cpu() *can* return amd64 when using `meson env2mfile` on Debian systems, but I think that's a bug in env2mfile (#13742). Signed-off-by: Simon McVittie <smcv@debian.org>
2024-10-01Add a simple reproducibility test command.Jussi Pakkanen
2024-09-29docs: update the Visual Studio guide for the post-0.59 era with automatic vsenvEli Schwartz
For many years now, meson hasn't required manually entering a Visual Studio command prompt but has autodetected it. This confuses some readers of this outdated documentation into thinking it is much harder than it is.
