note: we probably don't want to maintain VS2008 solution anymore.
Its successor VS2010 is > 10 years old,
which is more or less the limit after which we can stop supporting old compilers.
It cannot be an alias, because it would lock the package to use either static or shared libraries at its build time. We want to decide this at the time `find_package` is called.
More recent versions of CMake emit the following warning:
CMake Deprecation Warning at cmake/CMakeLists.txt:10 (cmake_minimum_required):
Compatibility with CMake < 3.5 will be removed from a future version of
CMake.
Update the VERSION argument <min> value or use a ...<max> suffix to tell
CMake that the project does not need compatibility with older versions.
When forcing the source file language to `C`, Xcode enforces
the file to be compiled as `C` by appending `-x c` to the
compiler command line.
For now try to limit the damage and only enforce the language
if the ASM and C compilers differ.
Reproducer (CMake `3.26.4`, Xcode `14.3`):
```
cmake -S build/cmake -B _b -GXcode -DCMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES=x86_64
cmake --build _b
```
Fix: #3622
This fixes compilation with clang-cl on Windows. There
is a bug in cmake so that check_linker_flag() doesn't give
the correct result when using link.exe/lld-link.exe.
Details in CMake's gitlab: https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/-/issues/22023Fixes#3522
fix#3500
CMake 3.18 or later was required by #3392. Because it uses
`CheckLinkerFlag`. But requiring CMake 3.18 or later is a bit
aggressive. Because Ubuntu 20.04 LTS still uses CMake 3.16.3:
https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=cmake
This change disables `-z noexecstack` check with old CMake. This will
not break any existing users. Because users who need `-z noexecstack`
must already use CMake 3.18 or later.

We need to run it for the tests, even if programs are disabled. So if
they are disabled, create a build rule for the program, but don't
install it. Just make it available for the test itself.
It depends on the zstd program being built, and passes it as an env
variable. Just like datagen. But for datagen, we explicitly depend on
it, while for zstd, we assume it's built as part of "all".
This can be wrong in two cases:
- when running individual tests, meson can (re)build just what is needed
for that one test
- a later patch will handle building zstd but not by default
Tell CMake to explicitly compile our assembly as C code, because we
require it is compiled by a C compiler, and it is only enabled for
clang/gcc.
Fixes#3193.
```
for f in $(find . \( -path ./.git -o -path ./tests/fuzz/corpora \) -prune -o -type f);
do
sed -i 's/Facebook, Inc\./Meta Platforms, Inc. and affiliates./' $f;
done
```
playTests.sh has an option to run really slow tests. This is enabled by
default in Meson, but what we really want is to do like the Makefile,
and run the fast ones by default, but with an option to run the slow
ones instead.
It's entirely possible some people don't have valgrind installed, but
still want to run the tests. If they don't have it installed, then they
probably don't intend to run those precise test targets anyway.
Also, this solves an error when running the tests in an automated
environment. The valgrind tests have a hard dependency on behavior such
as `./zstd` erroring out with the message "stdin is a console, aborting"
which does not work if the automated environment doesn't have a console.
As a rough heuristic, automated environments lacking a console will
*probably* also not have valgrind, so avoiding that test definition
neatly sidesteps the issue.
Also, valgrind is not easily installable on macOS, at least homebrew
says it isn't available there. This makes it needlessly hard to
enable the testsuite on macOS.
In commit 031de3c69ccbf3282ed02fb49369b476730aeca8 a feature of Meson
0.50.0 was added, but the minimum specified version of Meson is 0.48.0.
Meson therefore emitted a warning:
WARNING: Project targets '>=0.48.0' but uses feature introduced in '0.50.0': required arg in compiler.has_header.
And if anyone actually used Meson 0.48.0 to build with, it would error
out with mysterious claims that the build file itself is invalid, rather
than telling the user to install a newer version of Meson.
Solve this by bumping the minimum version to align with reality. This
e.g. drops support for Debian oldstable (buster)'s packaged version of
Meson, but still works if backports are enabled, or if the user can
`pip install` a newer version.
In commit 031de3c69ccbf3282ed02fb49369b476730aeca8 some code was added
that returned a boolean, but was treated as if it returned a dependency
object. This wasn't tested and could not work. Moreover, zstd no longer
built at all unless the entire programs directory was disabled and not
even evaluated.
Fix the return type checking.
It uses non-portable compiler options unconditionally. Elsewhere, we
check the compiler ID and only add the right ones, globally. Do the same
here.
NDEBUG can actually be handled by a core option, so while we are moving
things around, do so.
Unfortunately, this doesn't fix things entirely. The remaining issue is
not Meson's issue though -- MSVC simply does not like this source code
and somehow chokes on innocent code with the inscrutable "syntax error"
and "illegal token".
Run the scraper command to establish the project version immediately,
rather than wait for the build to be configured. This simplifies the
code and ensures that project introspection works correctly.
