2024-09-11Harmonize d_import_dirs and include_directories behavior.Andrew McNulty
This commit harmonizes the handling of `d_import_dirs` and `include_directories`. The treatment of `d_import_dirs` was also different depending on the context: in `declare_dependency` it was treated like the `include_directories`, but in `build_target` et al, it had special treatment. With this commit, they are all treated by the same function. The documentation has been updated to reflect this. Fixes #12742

There are two environments on Windows: * When invoked in a Cygwin or MSYS2 MSYS shell, `host_machine.system()` returns `cygwin`. * When invoked in a MSYS2 MINGW32/MINGW64/UCRT64/CLANG64/etc., `host_machine.system()` returns `windows`.

2024-08-30Feature checks: fall back to reporting insufficiently portable featuresEli Schwartz
When projects do not specify a minimum meson version, we used to avoid giving them the benefit of the Feature checks framework. Instead: - warn for features that were added after the most recent semver bump, since they aren't portable to the range of versions people might use these days - warn for features that were deprecated before the upcoming semver bump, i.e. all deprecated features, since they aren't portable to upcoming semver-compatible versions people might be imminently upgrading to
2024-08-30Extend MESON_TESTTHREADS usageMarek Pikuła
Previously, setting `MESON_TESTTHREADS` to a number lower than 1 resulted in unexpected behavior. This commit introduces test for negative value (with fallback to 1), and fallback to core count in case it is set to 0. It improves experience in job-matrix type of CI workflows, where some jobs within the matrix require single job execution, whereas others can default to taking core count as the job count.

2024-08-27Allow external programs in test()'s 'args' parameterDavid Gibson
Although it's not especially common, there are certainly cases where it's useful to pass the path to an external program to a test program. Fixes: https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/3552 Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>

2024-08-05docs: fix example for feature.requireMarvin Scholz
The example incorrectly uses `then` after the if condition, which is incorrect meson syntax as meson does not support a `then` keyword.

2024-07-15cmake: Only propagate interface link flags in depJonathon Anderson
CMake has two target properties, LINK_OPTIONS and INTERFACE_LINK_OPTIONS. The former is for link flags that apply only to the target (PRIVATE). The latter is used for link flags that propagate to dependents (PUBLIC or INTERFACE). Meson currently propagates all flags, PUBLIC and PRIVATE, as part of the generated dependency() which causes problems when some of the private flags are highly disruptive, e.g. `-Wl,--version-script`. Tease apart the two kinds of link flags and, for non-static libraries, only propagate the PUBLIC/INTERFACE flags and not the PRIVATE ones.

2024-07-05Revert "Clarify mutable objects usage"Eli Schwartz
This reverts commit 9f02d0a3e5a5ffc82256391c244b1af38e41ef78. It turns out that this does introduce a behavioral change in existing users of ConfigurationData, which it wasn't supposed to (it was supposed to preserve behavior there, and add a new *warning* for EnvironmentVariables). This breaks projects such as pulseaudio, libvirt, and probably more. Roll back the change and try again after 1.5.0 is released. Fixes: #13372

2024-06-23find_program: add a kwarg to specify custom version argumentDudemanguy
When trying to get the version of a program, meson was previously hardcoded to run the binary with `--version`. This does work with the vast majority of programs, but there are a few outliers (e.g. ffmpeg) which have an unusual argument for printing out the version. Support these programs by introducing a version_argument kwarg in find_program which allows users to override `--version` with whatever the custom argument for printing the version may be for the program.

Cargo.lock is essentially identical to subprojects/*.wrap files. When a (sub)project has a Cargo.lock file this allows automatic fallback for its cargo dependencies.
2024-06-10Add note about meson-python and installation pathEmil Melnikov
New people that want to use Meson for building Python extensions most probably will read Python module docs first. Direct them to meson-python and suggest to set `python.install_env=auto`.

2024-05-08mtest: Set MESON_TEST_ITERATION to the current iteration of the testDaan De Meyer
When running our integration tests in systemd we depend on each test having a unique name. This is always the case unless --repeat is used, in which case multiple tests with the same name run concurrently which causes issues when allocating resources that use the test name as the identifier. Let's set MESON_TEST_ITERATION to the current iteration of the test so we can use $TEST_NAME-$TEST_ITERATION as our test identifiers which will avoid these issues.

This uses objfw-config to get to the flags, however, there's still several todos that can only be addressed once dependencies can have per-language flags.

2024-04-25find_library: improve the docs and FeatureNew to fully describe the changeEli Schwartz
The docs didn't really explain what the issue was with using it. And it's not actually a "crash" either way. The FeatureNew mentions that "name" is new, but it is standard for these warnings to tell you both the type of object you're operating on and the name of the method that is an issue. This omitted the former, and was very confusing.

Add meson test --interactive
2024-04-23Add meson test --interactiveDaan De Meyer
This is very similar to --gdb, except it doesn't spawn GDB, but connects stdin/stdout/stderr directly to the test itself. This allows interacting with integration tests that spawn a shell in a container or virtual machine when the test fails. In systemd we're migrating our integration tests to run using the meson test runner. We want to allow interactive debugging of failed tests directly in the virtual machine or container that is spawned to run the test. To make this possible, we need meson test to connect stdin/stdout/stderr of the test directly to the user's terminal, just like is done with the --gdb option.
