From 9149aaba9c87250a7fc92686c37057038f57ef99 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: John Ericson Date: Mon, 10 Jun 2019 19:42:06 -0400 Subject: `add_{global,project}_{,link_}arguments`: simply native flag behavior This further simplifies behavior to match the "build vs host" decision we did with `c_args` vs `build_c_args`. The rules are now simply: - `native: true` affects `native: true` targets - `native: false` affects `native: false` targets - No native flag is the same as `native: false` I like this because you don't even have to know what "build" and "host" mean to understand how it works, and it doesn't depend on whether the overall build is cross or not.
