2022-05-03interpreter: new function add_project_dependencies()Paolo Bonzini1-0/+11
This function can be used to add fundamental dependencies such as glib to all build products in one fell swoop. This can be useful whenever, due to a project's coding conventions, it is not really possible to compile any source file without including the dependency.

2022-05-01Add support for multiline f-stringsPeter Lesslie2-3/+25
+ Extend the parser to recognize the multiline f-strings, which the documentation already implies will work. The syntax is like: ``` x = 'hello' y = 'world' msg = f'''This is a multiline string. Sending a message: '@x@ @y@' ''' ``` which produces: ``` This is a multiline string. Sending a message: 'hello world' ``` + Added some f-string tests cases to "62 string arithmetic" to exercise the new behavior.

2022-04-30linkers: Add support for mold linkerFini Jastrow2-0/+5
[why] Support for the relatively new mold linker is missing. If someone wants to use mold as linker `LDFLAGS="-B/path/to/mold"` has to be added instead of the usual `CC_LD=mold meson ...` or `CXX_LD=mold meson ...`. [how] Allow `mold' as linker for clang and newer GCC versions (that versions that have support). The error message can be a bit off, because it is generic for all GNU like compilers, but I guess that is ok. (i.e. 'mold' is not listed as possible linker, even if it would be possible for the given compiler.) [note] GCC Version 12.0.1 is not sufficient to say `mold` is supported. The expected release with support will be 12.1.0. On the other hand people that use the un-released 12.0.1 will probably have built it from trunk. Allowing 12.0.1 is helping bleeding edge developers to use mold in Meson already now. Fixes: #9072 Signed-off-by: Fini Jastrow <ulf.fini.jastrow@desy.de>
2022-04-27Add small note that get_variable can publicize its data filesEli Schwartz1-0/+22
Nothing elaborate, just laying down the ground rules for expected usage and pointing out that it now works. The idea is not to give people ideas, but to let projects which already have this use case, use it with confidence.

2022-04-19docs: Add documentation on pkgconfig.relocatableFredrik Salomonsson2-0/+39
- Documentation for the pkgconfig.relocatable module option in Builtin-options. Gives an explanation on what it does, usefulness and what error that can occur when using it. - Add pkgconfig.relocatable release snippet. Similar to the documentation in Builtin-options. Just a bit more brief. - Add Pkgconfig to DataTests.test_builtin_options_documented in the docs unit tests.

2022-03-24Make compilers list per subprojectXavier Claessens1-0/+6
Previously subprojects inherited languages already added by main project, or any previous subproject. This change to have a list of compilers per interpreters, which means that if a subproject does not add 'c' language it won't be able to compile .c files any more, even if main project added the 'c' language. This delays processing list of compilers until the interpreter adds the BuildTarget into its list of targets. That way the interpreter can add missing languages instead of duplicating that logic into BuildTarget for the cython case.

2022-03-15Revert "devenv: Set PYTHONPATH where we install python modules"Eli Schwartz2-15/+0
This reverts commit 79c6075b560dbf1c3e4e0b30f1c472dc2086421e. # Conflicts: # docs/markdown/snippets/devenv.md # mesonbuild/modules/python.py # test cases/unit/91 devenv/test-devenv.py PYTHONPATH cannot be reliably determined. The standard use case for installing python modules with Meson is mixed pure sources (at least `__init__.py`) and compiled extension_modules or configured files. Unfortunately that doesn't actually work because python will not load the same package hierarchy from two different directories, one a source directory and one a (mandatory) out of tree build directory. (It kind of can, but you need to do what this test case accidentally stumbled upon, which is namespace packages. Namespace packages are a very specific use case and you are NOT SUPPOSED to use them outside that use case, so people are not going to use them just to circumvent Meson devenv stuff as that would have negative install-time effects.) Adding PYTHONPATH anyway will just lead to documentation commitments which we cannot actually uphold, and confusing issues at time of use because some imports *will* work... and some will *not*. The end result will be a half-created tree of modules which just doesn't work together at all, but because it partially works, users attempting to debug it will spend time wondering why parts of it do import. For any case where the automatic devenv would work correctly, it will also work correctly to use `meson.add_devenv()` a single time, which is very easy to manually get correct and doesn't provide any significant value to automate. In the long run, an uninstalled python package environment will require "editable installs" support.

2022-03-06find_program: add a version() method to match the one for dependenciesEli Schwartz1-0/+5
It is often useful to check the found version of a program without checking whether you can successfully find `find_program('foo', required: false, version: '>=XXX')`
2022-03-06i18n.merge_file: do not disable in the absence of gettext toolsEli Schwartz1-0/+15
Disabling targets because the tools used to build them aren't available is a pretty suspicious thing to do. Users who want this are probably, in general, advised to check themselves whether it is possible to build those targets with find_program(..., required: false) The i18n.gettext() invocation is a bit unusual because the product of running it is non-critical files, specifically, translation catalogs. If users don't have the tools needed to build them, they may not be able to use them either, because perhaps they have NLS disabled on their platform or it's difficult to put it in the bootstrap path. So, for this reason, it was made non-fatal and the message catalogs are just not created, and the resulting build is still perfectly usable *unless* you want to use it in another language, at which point it "works" but the text is all inscrutable to the end user, and that's a feature of the target platform. That's an acceptable tradeoff for translation catalogs. It is NOT an acceptable tradeoff for merge_file, which produces desktop files or MIME database catalogs or other files which have crucial roles to perform, without which the software in question simply doesn't work at all. In such cases, this just fails to install crucial files, users report bugs to the project in question, and the project adds `find_program('xgettext')` to guarantee the hard error due to lack of confidence in Meson. Fixes #6165 Fixes #8436

2022-03-02Rename JDK system dep to JNITristan Partin3-8/+28
JNI is a more apt name because it currently only supports the JNI. I also believe that CMake uses the terminology JNI here as well. JNI is currently the only way to interact with the JVM through native code, but there is a project called "Project Panama" which aims to be another way for native code to interact with the JVM.
2022-03-01Deprecate java.generate_native_header() in favor of ↵Tristan Partin2-1/+80
java.generate_native_headers() After implementing a much more extensive Java native module than what currently exists in the tests, I found shortcomings. 1. You need to be able to pass multiple Java files. 2. Meson needs more information to better track the generated native headers. 3. Meson wasn't tracking the header files generated from inner classes. This new function should fix all the issues the old function had with room to grow should more functionality need to be added. What I implemented here in this new function is essentially what I have done in the Heterogeneous-Memory Storage Engine's Java bindings.
