However this is not enough to reliably +differentiate between e.g. an iOS platform from a watchOS one. Two new +properties, namely `kernel` and `subsystem` have been added so these +setups can be reliably detected. + +These new properties are not necessary in cross files for now, but if +they are not defined and a build file tries to access them, Meson will +exit with a hard error. It is expected that at some point in the +future defining the new properties will become mandatory. |
