2020-05-01Document formal Meson grammar [skip ci]Flow-It1-0/+70
* WIP: Document formal Meson grammar * Various little fixes [skip ci] 1) Add missing logical_not_expr 2) 'in' and 'not in' are valid relational operators at least for dicts 3) dictionary keys can be expressions, but kwarg names cannot 4) typo logical_end_expression -> logical_and_expression 5) Make jump statements only allowed inside an iteration statement * Rework EBNF style [skip ci] As there is no good order for the productions, just go alphabetically. The EBNF style was changed to match the one the Python lark project uses, that is colons for productions and terminals enclosed in double quotes. * Add missing production for unary operators [skip ci] * Add production for multiline strings [skip ci] * Properly define terminal symbols [skip ci] Depending on the EBNF flavor, regex can be used to describe the terminal symbols. Lark allows this, and as it was mentioned as a possible user of this grammar, let's follow its flavor here. Most regexes used are easily human-readable, and we can always add comments to more complicated ones. * Small changes to which expressions can be used where [skip ci] Let the grammar be very general. The type system then has to check, that the used expression really evaluates to the correct type. Even if we know today that assignment expressions always evaluate to None (and can therefore only be used as a toplevel expression in an expression statement), this needn't be the case forever. So this way, the grammar stays stable even if such changes were made. * Rework function argument list production [skip ci] * Be more verbose for production names [skip ci] Rename expr -> expression, stmt -> statement, op -> operator, program -> build_definition. Also adjust some list productions. * Add paragraph about syntax stability promises [skip ci]
2020-04-30Update test.json schema to add stdoutJon Turney1-3/+3
Update the test.json schema, adding the 'stdout' property. Also amend the test.json schema so the presence of an unexpected property on the root object causes a validation error. v2: Also add 'tools' property to json schema. Amend the documentation not to use the word 'list' to describe a dict.
2020-04-30Add a mechanism for validating meson output in testsJon Turney1-0/+21
Expected stdout lines must match lines from the actual stdout, in the same order. Lines with match type 're' are regex matched. v2: Ignore comment lines in expected_stdout v3: Automatically adjust path separators for location in expected output v4: Put expected stdout in test.json, rather than a separate file

2020-04-28tests: Add support for specifying tool requirementsDaniel Mensinger1-0/+10
Adds the `tools` section to `tests.json` to specify requirements for the tools in the environment. All tests that fail at least one tool requirements check are skipped.

2020-04-28find_program: Fixes when the program has been overridden by executableXavier Claessens2-1/+29
- 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.

2020-04-23mtest: Generate a JUnit xml result fileDylan Baker1-0/+4
JUnit is pretty ubiquitous, lots of services and results viewers understand it, in particular gitlab and jenkins know how to consume JUnit xml. This means projects using CI services can have their test results consumed automatically. Fixes: #6972

2020-04-21docs/cross-compilation: Note appropriate values for cpu_family [skip ci]Dylan Baker1-8/+12
Also note that meson doesn't use `el` on the end of the cpu_family to mark endianness, that the endian field needs to be set appropriately.

2020-04-17Add a json schema for the test.json used in testsDylan Baker1-2/+10
This does a couple of nice things, one is that editors like vscode can be configured to use this schema to provide auto completion and error highlighting if invalid values are added or required values are missing. It also allows us test that the format of the test matrix work in a unit test, which I've added. It does require that the python jsonschema package is installed.

2020-04-13wrap: Add fallback urlsXavier Claessens2-0/+6
It can happen that a server is temporaly down, tarballs often have many mirrors available so we should be able to add at least one fallback mirror in wrap files.

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.
2020-04-11References-tables.md: repair broken tableVanadiae1-1/+1
At https://mesonbuild.com/Reference-tables.html#compiler-and-linker-selection-variables, the table is broken and it seems that the only difference with other well-working tables on this page is the semi-column ":" that are present under Language.

2020-03-23Revert "Naturally use env vars a bit more to match Autoconf"Jussi Pakkanen2-13/+12
This reverts commit 097dfc085e6a1bb3c670880134a52dcfca504be7.
2020-03-23Naturally use env vars a bit more to match AutoconfJohn Ericson2-12/+13
PR #6363 made it so our interpretation of env vars no longer clashed with Autoconf's: if both Meson and Autoconf would read and env var, both would do the same things with the value they read. However, there were still cases that autoconf would read an env var when meson wouldn't: - Autoconf would use `CC` in cross builds too - Autoconf would use `CC_FOR_BUILD` in native builds too. There's no reason Meson can't also do this--if native cross files overwrite rather than replace env vars, cross files can also overwrite rather than replace env vars. Because variables like `CC` are so ubiquitous, and because ignoring them in cross builds just makes those builds liable to break (and things more complicated in general), we bring Meson's behavior in line with Autoconf's.
