From 3d80a88bd3c3dc8f9e20bbda485b0b436fd79fb3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dylan Baker Date: Wed, 21 Oct 2020 16:07:31 -0700 Subject: modules: Add an unstable-rust module Like other language specific modules this module is module for holding rust specific helpers. This commit adds a test() function, which simplifies using rust's internal unittest mechanism. Rust tests are generally placed in the same code files as they are testing, in contrast to languages like C/C++ and python which generally place the tests in separate translation units. For meson this is somewhat problematic from a repetition point of view, as the only changes are generally adding --test, and possibly some dependencies. The rustmod.test() method provides a mechanism to remove the repatition: it takes a rust target, copies it, and then addes the `--test` option, then creates a Test() target with the `rust` protocol. You can pass additional dependencies via the `dependencies` keyword. This all makes for a nice, DRY, test definition. --- docs/markdown/_Sidebar.md | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) (limited to 'docs/markdown/_Sidebar.md') diff --git a/docs/markdown/_Sidebar.md b/docs/markdown/_Sidebar.md index 2637d686d..0ca1762b5 100644 --- a/docs/markdown/_Sidebar.md +++ b/docs/markdown/_Sidebar.md @@ -12,3 +12,4 @@ * [gnome](Gnome-module.md) * [i18n](i18n-module.md) * [pkgconfig](Pkgconfig-module.md) +* [rust](Rust-module.md) -- cgit v1.2.3
