From 55ea461993db23c8a68053a5f499fda7f65df9b6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Xavier Claessens Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2020 12:14:32 -0400 Subject: Deprecate meson.build_root() and meson.source_root() Those function are common source of issue when used in a subproject because they point to the parent project root which is rarely what is expected and is a violation of subproject isolation. --- docs/markdown/Reference-manual.md | 12 ++++++------ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) (limited to 'docs/markdown/Reference-manual.md') diff --git a/docs/markdown/Reference-manual.md b/docs/markdown/Reference-manual.md index c289397..2f9e2de 100644 --- a/docs/markdown/Reference-manual.md +++ b/docs/markdown/Reference-manual.md @@ -1804,17 +1804,17 @@ the following methods. or `xcode`. - `build_root()`: returns a string with the absolute path to the build - root directory.
