2021-09-07docs: document new behavior with respect to mixed language link testsPaolo Bonzini2-1/+25
2021-09-06mintro: add installed_planFilipe Laíns1-10/+62
Signed-off-by: Filipe Laíns <lains@riseup.net>
2021-09-01add release note formally allowing run_target in an aliasEli Schwartz1-0/+20
We've now fixed it so it works, and it provides useful functionality, e.g. creating a custom target that builds multiple gettext domains in one action.
2021-09-01msvc: Assume UTF8 source by defaultXavier Claessens1-0/+16
Currently every project that uses UTF8 for its source files must add '/utf-8' argument otherwise they don't work non-English locale MSVC. Since meson.build itself is assumed to be UTF8 by default, seems better to assume it for source files by default too. For example: - https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-build/-/blob/master/meson.build#L62 - https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/blob/main/meson.build#L29
2021-08-31i18n module: provide targets as return value for gettext()Eli Schwartz2-0/+11
Users may wish to make use of these files for their own purposes. For example, the -pot and -update-po pseudo targets could be reused in an alias_target(), and at least one person wanted to reuse the built .mo files as custom_target input. Fixes #6227
2021-08-31interpreter: Make comparisons of different types a hard errorDaniel Mensinger1-0/+5
2021-08-31Make assignment a statement in Syntax.md (#9188) [skip-ci]jimman20031-3/+3
* Make assignment a statement in Syntax force to change line 709 to something kind of non sensical * Applied code review changes
2021-08-30Add missing "disabler" kwarg to python.dependency()Xavier Claessens1-0/+2
There is a unit test using it and now fails because the warning about unknown kwarg became fatal.
2021-08-28docs: update LD docs link in FAQ.mdAndrea Pappacoda1-1/+1
2021-08-27FAQ: document some community work toward implementing Meson in C/C++Eli Schwartz1-0/+10
This is useful information for solving the OS bootstrapping problem. Give it some visibility. Also, I don't want to forget where I found any of these. :D ref. #2335
2021-08-23interpreter: Fix dependency(..., static: true) fallbackXavier Claessens2-0/+51
It should build the fallback subprject with default_library=static and override the dependency for both static=True and static kwarg not given. Fixes: #8050.
2021-08-22Add Java moduleTristan Partin2-0/+33
The Java module will serve as a source for easing Java development within Meson. Currently it only supports generating native header files.

2021-08-16interpreter/compiler: remove unittest_args methodDylan Baker1-0/+4
It's not documented, and it's been marked deprecated for who knows how long.
2021-08-16Document new rules for green CI.Jussi Pakkanen1-0/+15
2021-08-16Add unset_variable()Tristan Partin2-0/+27
This should be useful for helping to control variable scope within Meson. CMake has something similar for controlling scope.
2021-08-15editorconfig: add setting to trim trailing whitespaceEli Schwartz6-18/+15
and clean up all outstanding issues Skip 'test cases/common/141 special characters/meson.build' since it intentionally uses trailing newlines.
2021-08-15Revert "compilers/c++: Add MSVC option to make the __cplusplus define accurate"Jussi Pakkanen1-7/+0
This reverts commit 0b97d585480e973d8b149618901f7a4ddfa1a906.

2021-08-11compilers/c++: Add MSVC option to make the __cplusplus define accurateDylan Baker1-0/+7
Otherwise it always returns the value for c++98, starting with MSVC 2017 15.7 or later. Earlier versions are not affected by this mis-feature
2021-08-08Add support for finding Javascript source libraries with Emscripten.Jussi Pakkanen1-0/+13
2021-08-04destdir: Allow relative to build directoryXavier Claessens3-0/+15
Meson already works like that, except in do_copydir() that requires absolute destdir. Better explicitly support that instead of leaving it undefined and unconsistent.
2021-07-27doc: mention CUDA_PATH in dependency('cuda') [skip ci]David Seifert1-1/+3
2021-07-26coredata: throw a MesonException on unknown optionsFlorian Schmaus1-0/+5

2021-07-23Add support for gcovr --sonarqube reportWeston Schmidt2-0/+3
Sonarcloud.io only can read the sonarqube based report that gcovr can produce. This change enables support for this output in meson and ninja. Signed-off-by: Weston Schmidt <Weston_Schmidt@alumni.purdue.edu>
2021-07-23qt: Allow CustomTargets for qt.preprocess source argumentsDylan Baker1-4/+4
This works for `moc_*` and `ui_files`, but it never could have worked for `qresources` due to the implementation assuming a `str` or `File`. To restore previous compatibility I've added `CustomTarget` where it would have worked, but not where it would have failed, the former would raised an exception along the lines anyway. Fixes #9007

2021-07-13modules/python: Add type annotationsDylan Baker1-0/+3
There's still a number of things that don't properly type check, that's expected though as the input is often unvalidated and assumed good.
2021-07-08docs: fix minor typos in Machine-files.mdAndrea Pappacoda1-4/+4
2021-07-07Allow `skip_*` test.json keys at top-level or in `matrix:`Jon Turney1-6/+10
2021-07-07Add `skip_on_os` to test.jsonJon Turney1-0/+8
2021-07-07Add `skip_on_jobname` to test.jsonJon Turney1-0/+10
Plan to replace the hard-coded list of 'may be skipped' framework tests in skippable() with annotations in test.json which record 'will be skipped in these specific CI jobs'. If the value of the MESON_CI_JOBNAME env var (an arbitrary string expected to be unique for each CI configuration) contains any of the strings in the `skip_on_jobname` key in test.json, the test is expected to output MESON_SKIP_TEST. Unexpected skips or runs are treated as an error. Future work: Maybe we should add additional count categories 'unexpected skip' and 'unexpected not skipped', rather than counting those as 'skipped' and 'failed', respectively.
2021-07-07windows: Support wrc resource compilerConnor Abbott1-0/+7
It has a similar interface to windres, but it produces ELF instead of COFF binaries. It uses its own preprocessor which doesn't support creating depfiles, but we can convince it to use the system preprocessor instead and pass those arguments using the --preprocessor option. Together with some hacks to override the shared library/executable suffix and some wine patches [1] this is enough to compile dxvk when ripping out the hand-rolled rc support.

Consistently capitialize 'Meson' where used as a proper name in Dependencies.md.
2021-07-03Improve text for dependency detection methodsJon Turney1-4/+5
Make it clear that search order for 'auto' there only applies to generic dependency names. Drop 'system' from that list, as it's not actually used for generic dependencies (nor is it defined what it would do).
