Mismatched \` symbol was messing up the formatting.

Add a wrapper to the rust module for bindgen
2021-02-07Make installing non-existing subdirs a supported featurePeter Hutterer1-0/+10
install_subdir() with a non-existing subdir creates the directory in the target directory. This seems like an implementation detail but is quite useful to create new directories for e.g. configuration or plugins in the installed locations. git bisect says this started with 8fe816101467e66792251b4f57e0ddddb537764a. Let's add a test for it and document it to make this behavior official. Limitation: it can only create at the install_dir location, trying to create nested subdirectories does not work and indeed creates the wrong directory structure. That is a bug that should be fixed separately: install_subdir('blah', install_dir: get_option('prefix')) install_subdir('sub/foobar', install_dir: get_option('prefix')) install_subdir('foo/baz', install_dir: get_option('prefix')) $ tree ../_inst ../_inst ├── baz ├── blah └── foobar Fixes #2904

run_target: Add env kwarg
2021-02-06rust: Add a module wrapper for bindgenDylan Baker2-2/+51
This has a couple of advantages over rolling it by hand: 1. it correctly handles include_directories objects, which is always handy 2. it correctly generates a depfile for you, which makes it more reliable 3. it requires less typing

2021-02-05vala: Disable unity buildsDylan Baker1-0/+7
Our approach to unity builds with vala is broken, you cannot unify the generated C files, as they contain duplicate symbols. We would need to instead combine the files while they are still in their vala form, then convert that to C and compile the unified C file. This does not fix the linked issue, as this removed the ability to do vala unity builds, but it does allow running vala with `--unity=on`. Related: #5280
2021-02-05run_target: Add env kwargXavier Claessens2-1/+5
Re-implement it in backend using the same code path as for custom_target(). This for example handle setting PATH on Windows when command is an executable.
2021-02-05gnome: Add post_install() methodXavier Claessens2-0/+26
Various GNOME projects have scripts that does similar task, better do it directly in meson. This ensures it's done correctly regarding usage of subprojects and pkg-config. See for example this gtk bug: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/3626. Fixes: #8268
2021-02-04Introduce `fs.read` to read a file as a stringLuke Drummond3-0/+68
Following #7890, this patch introduces the ability to read the contents of a file to the fs module. This patch introduces the ability to read files at configure time, but has some restrictions: - binary files are not supported (I don't think this will prove a problem, and if people are wanting to do something with binary files, they should probably be shelling out to their own script). - Only files outside the build directory allowed. This limitation should prevent build loops. Given that reading an arbitrary file at configure time can affect the configuration in almost arbitrary ways, meson should force a reconfigure when the given file changes. This is non-configurable, but this can easily be changed with a future keyword argument.

2021-02-02Add support for LLVM's thinLTODylan Baker2-0/+8
This uses a separate option, b_lto_mode. It works in conjunction with b_lto_threads. Fixes #7493
2021-02-02compilers: Add support for using multiple threads with ltoDylan Baker2-20/+30
Both Clang and GCC support using multiple threads for preforming link time optimizaions, and they can now be configured using the `-Db_lto_threads` option. Fixes #7820
2021-02-02interpreter, mtest: introduce add_test_setup(exclude_suites: ...)Paolo Bonzini1-0/+3
This new keyword argument makes it possible to run specific test setups only on a subset of the tests. For example, to mark some tests as slow and avoid running them by default: add_test_setup('quick', exclude_suites: ['slow'], is_default: true) add_test_setup('slow') It will then be possible to run the slow tests with either `meson test --setup slow` or `meson test --suite slow`.

2021-01-30add_install_script: add skip_if_destdir kwargXavier Claessens2-0/+15
It is common, at least in GNOME projects, to have scripts that must be run only in the final destination, to update system icon cache, etc. Skipping them from Meson ensures we can properly log that they have not been run instead of relying on such scripts to to it (they don't always).

It's a bit silly and conveluted to have to call find_program on the output of configure_file, so let's just allow passing files as the script name.

2021-01-20MSVC and Clang-Cl Compiler Argument CleanupMarios Staikopoulos1-0/+16
This commit performs some cleanup for the msvc and clang-cl arguments. * "Disable Debug" (`/Od`) is no longer manually specified for optimization levels {`0`,`g`} (it is already the default for MSVC). * "Run Time Checking" (`/RTC1`) removed from `debug` buildtype by default * Clang-CL `debug` buildtype arguments now match MSVC arguments * There is now no difference between `buildtype` flags and `debug` + `optimization` flags

2021-01-17Removal of /ZI on MSVC DebugMarios Staikopoulos1-0/+14
The /ZI flag adds in "Edit and Continue" debug information, which will cause massive slowdown. It is not a flag that we should be adding by default to debug builds. /Zi will still be added.
2021-01-14mtest: allow quickly interrupting the test runPaolo Bonzini1-0/+5
The new behavior of interrupting the longest running test with Ctrl-C is useful when tests hang, but not when the run is completely broken for some reason. Psychology tells us that the user will compulsively spam Ctrl-C in this case, so exit if three Ctrl-C's are detected within a second.

2021-01-12summary: align left, not align middleEli Schwartz2-7/+11
aligning along the left is, I think, what most projects want to do. Aligning along the middle looks subjectively ugly, and objectively prevents me from further indenting an element, e.g. Build information: prefix : /usr sysconfdir : /etc conf file : /etc/myprogram.conf
