2020-09-06doc: Add missing method arguments [skip ci]Michal Sojka1-21/+21
Documentation of most methods mentions method arguments enclosed in parentheses. Two methods are an exception and we fix them here to make the manual more consistent.

2020-05-18pass exe_wrapper to test scripts through the environmentDylan Baker1-0/+7
This adds a new MESON_EXE_WRAPPER environment variable containing the string form of the exe_wrapper, if there is an exe_wrapper defined. Fixes #4427
2020-05-14interpreter: Rename has_exe_wrapper -> can_run_host_binariesDylan Baker1-4/+8
The implementation of this function has changed enough that the name doesn't really reflect what it actually does. It basically returns true unless you're cross compiling, need and exe_wrapper, and don't have one. The original function remains but is marked as deprecated. This makes one small change the meson source language, which is that it defines that can_run_host_binaries will return true in build == host compilation, which was the behavior that already existed. Previously this was undefined in build == host compilation.

Add support for Gtest as a test protocol
2020-05-04Add native support for gtest testsDylan Baker1-5/+8
Gtest can output junit results with a command line switch. We can parse this to get more detailed results than the returncode, and put those in our own Junit output. We basically just throw away the top level 'testsuites' object, then fixup the names of the tests, and shove that into our junit.

2020-04-28find_program: Fixes when the program has been overridden by executableXavier Claessens1-1/+9
- ExternalProgramHolder has path() method while CustomTargetHolder and BuildTargetHolder have full_path(). - The returned ExternalProgramHolder's path() method was broken, because build.Executable object has no get_path() method, it needs the backend. - find_program('overridden_prog', version : '>=1.0') was broken because it needs to execute the exe that is not yet built. Now assume the program has the (sub)project version. - If the version check fails, interpreter uses ExternalProgramHolder.get_name() for the error message but build.Executable does not implement get_name() method.
2020-04-12Merge pull request #6958 from jon-turney/fix-name-prefix-explicit-defaultJussi Pakkanen1-4/+4
Fix library(name_prefix: [])
2020-04-11docs: fix the docs for install_subdir's strip_directory [skip ci]Peter Hutterer1-1/+1
When set to **true** only the last component is used. And throw in two minor grammatical fixes while we're there.
2020-04-11Refine documentation of default name_prefixJon Turney1-4/+4
Refine documentation of the default name_prefix, so people don't get the impression they can write logic which uses 'lib' as the default, when they should be defaulting to '[]', to let us take care of the complexities.
2020-03-28docs: why 'ninja test' depends on build_by_default targets [skip ci]Marc Herbert1-2/+6

2020-03-06Improve logged messages for overriden dependenciesXavier Claessens1-1/+4
2020-03-06Simplify dependency() fallbackXavier Claessens1-0/+4
Now that subprojects can override the dependency name, there is no need to provide a variable name for the fallback any more.
2020-03-06Add meson.override_dependency()Xavier Claessens1-1/+7
Similar to meson.override_find_program() but overrides the result of the dependency() function. Also ensure that dependency() always returns the same result when looking for the same dependency, this fixes cases where parts of the project could be using a system library and other parts use the library provided by a subproject.
2020-03-04interpreter: add 'name' method to BuildTargetHolderStéphane Cerveau1-0/+2
As any child of BuildTargetHolder might need the name of the object, provides a method to get object name. This is useful in gst-build to display the plugin name and not the filename.
2020-02-26summary: Add list_sep keyword argumentXavier Claessens1-1/+2
This allows having lists on a single line instead of having each value aligned on a new line.

2020-02-17minstall: Add a new option --quietNirbheek Chauhan1-2/+5
This is a significant speed-up on Windows because terminals are slow to print things out. Speed-up in gst-build on Windows: ``` meson install: before: 5.1 seconds after: 4.0 seconds ```
2020-02-12Refine behaviour of add_languages() when native: is missingJon Turney1-3/+7
This improves the common case of a simple meson.build which doesn't contain any 'native: true' targets to not require a native compiler when cross-compiling, without needing any changes in the meson.build. v2: Do it the right way around!
2020-02-09Add add_languages(native:)Jon Turney1-9/+15
v2: Retain not using logical-and, to avoid short-circuiting side-effects of add_languages()
2020-02-06Make 'default_library' per-subproject builtin optionXavier Claessens1-1/+2
Currently it's just like if all builtin/base/compiler options are yielding. This patch makes possible to have non-yielding builtin options. The value in is overriden in this order: - Value from parent project - Value from subproject's default_options if set - Value from subproject() default_options if set - Value from command line if set
2020-02-06docs: explain the purpose of order-only deps for generated files [skip ci]Marc Herbert1-5/+6
The documentation of "order-only" dependencies is limited and their various purposes are especially not clear. See issue #6391 for a recent example, search the internet for many more. So mention the particular purpose here while making the documentation barely longer.
