From 3d80a88bd3c3dc8f9e20bbda485b0b436fd79fb3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dylan Baker Date: Wed, 21 Oct 2020 16:07:31 -0700 Subject: modules: Add an unstable-rust module Like other language specific modules this module is module for holding rust specific helpers. This commit adds a test() function, which simplifies using rust's internal unittest mechanism. Rust tests are generally placed in the same code files as they are testing, in contrast to languages like C/C++ and python which generally place the tests in separate translation units. For meson this is somewhat problematic from a repetition point of view, as the only changes are generally adding --test, and possibly some dependencies. The rustmod.test() method provides a mechanism to remove the repatition: it takes a rust target, copies it, and then addes the `--test` option, then creates a Test() target with the `rust` protocol. You can pass additional dependencies via the `dependencies` keyword. This all makes for a nice, DRY, test definition. --- docs/markdown/snippets/unstable-rust-module.md | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) create mode 100644 docs/markdown/snippets/unstable-rust-module.md (limited to 'docs/markdown/snippets') diff --git a/docs/markdown/snippets/unstable-rust-module.md b/docs/markdown/snippets/unstable-rust-module.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..15a7ecb --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/markdown/snippets/unstable-rust-module.md @@ -0,0 +1,4 @@ +## Untable Rust module + +A new unstable module has been added to make using rust with meson easier. +Currently it adds a single function to ease defining rust tests. -- cgit v1.1
