Drop the -fundamental suffix from src/fundamental/ headers in favor of names
that match their src/basic/ or src/shared/ counterparts (e.g.
macro-fundamental.h -> macro.h, assert-fundamental.h -> assert-util.h,
cleanup-fundamental.h -> cleanup-util.h). Rename src/basic/{btrfs,label}.{c,h}
to use the -util suffix to match the existing shared/btrfs-util and
shared/label-util siblings. Rename src/shared/mkdir-label.{c,h} to mkdir.{c,h}
and src/shared/tmpfile-util-label.{c,h} to tmpfile-util.{c,h} to match the
corresponding src/basic names.
This saves us from having to come up with separate names for files that do
the same thing across tiers, and it makes it easier to move stuff between
src/fundamental, src/basic and src/shared: consumers just #include "foo.h"
and pick up whichever tier their -I path resolves to first, so call sites
don't need to be updated when an API moves between layers.
Where a higher-tier wrapper exists (e.g. src/basic/macro.h wrapping
src/fundamental/macro.h), the wrapper uses an explicit "../fundamental/foo.h"
or "../basic/foo.h" relative include for the lower-tier header. We can't use
GCC's #include_next directive for this — when the wrapper is reachable both
via same-dir-as-source lookup and via -I (e.g. -Isrc/shared) for the
directory it lives in, #include_next advances by exactly one slot in libcpp's
internal directory chain and lands on the same physical directory it was
already in, never reaching the lower-tier sibling (see make_cpp_dir() in
gcc/libcpp/files.cc:1986).
To make sure the right headers are always picked up, the include directories
are reordered so that e.g. src/shared always takes priority over src/basic and
similar for the other directories.

We specify >= 0.62 as the supported version, so drop the duplicate name in all cases
where it is the same as outputs[0], i.e. almost all cases.

Instead of using run-clang-tidy.py with its own scheduling, let's
just gather a list of source files ourselves and then use that to
add a unit test for each source file that runs clang-tidy on the
source file.
We also add a bit of logic to run clang-tidy on most header files
as well for extra coverage. This uncovered various header files that
were not standalone so this commit also includes fixes to make sure
the clang-tidy tests are all green.
We can also use this in a later commit to run clang-include-cleaner
on each source file in the same way.
meson by default adds the current source and build directory as include
directories. Because we structure our meson code by gathering a giant dict
of everything we want to do and then doing all the actual target generation
in the top level meson.build, this behavior does not make sense at all because
we end up adding the top level repository directory as an include directory
which is never what we want.
At the same time, let's also make sure the top level directory of the build
directory is not an include directory, by moving the version.h generation
into the src/version subdirectory and then adding the src/version subdirectory
of the build directory as an include directory instead of the top level
repository directory.
Making this change means that language servers such as clangd can't get
confused when they automatically insert an #include line and insert
"#include "src/basic/fs-util.h" instead of "#include "fs-util.h".
Although this slightly more verbose it makes it much easier to reason
about. The code that produces the tests heavily benefits from this.
Test lists are also now sorted by test name.
GIT_VERSION is not available as a config.h variable, because it's rendered
into version.h during builds. Let's rework jinja2 rendering to also
parse version.h. No functional change, the new variable is so far unused.
I guess this will make partial rebuilds a bit slower, but it's useful
to be able to use the full version string.
It doesn't make much sense to do this, the result is very similar to including
to objects directly in the output binary without going through an intermediate
target.
The linkage of test-libudev was rather strange too: udev_link_with is used to
allow udev to be linked to a static version of libshared, so that udev is not
linked to libshared.so. But here we were using both, defeating the purpose of
udev_link_with. I don't think it matters what the test is linked to, so let's
use the non-static linkage to save space.
The meson default for static_library() are:
build_by_default=true, install=false. We never interact with the
static libraries, and we only care about them as a stepping-stone towards
the installable executables or libraries. Thus let's only build them if
they are a dependency of something else we are building.
While at it, let's drop install:false, since this appears to be the default.
This change would have fixed the issue with lib_import_common failing
to build too: we wouldn't attempt to build it.
In practice this changes very little, because we generally only declare static
libraries where there's something in the default target that will make use of
them. But it seems to be a better pattern to set build_by_default to false.
When using "capture : true" in custom_target()s the mode of the source
file is not preserved when the generated file is not installed and so
needs to be tweaked manually. Switch from output capture to creating the
target file and copy the permissions from the input file.

The idea was that those vars could be configured to 'no' to not install the .pc
files, or they could be set to '', and then they would be built but not
installed. This was inherited from the autoconf build system. This couldn't
work because '' is replaced by the default value. Also, having this level of
control doesn't seem necessary, since creating those files is very
quick. Skipping with 'no' was implemented only for systemd.pc and not the other
.pc files. Let's simplify things and skip installation if the target dir
is configured as 'no' for all .pc files.
Files which are installed as-is (any .service and other unit files, .conf
files, .policy files, etc), are left as is. My assumption is that SPDX
identifiers are not yet that well known, so it's better to retain the
extended header to avoid any doubt.
I also kept any copyright lines. We can probably remove them, but it'd nice to
obtain explicit acks from all involved authors before doing that.
This reduces the meson man=false target count to 1281.
v2:
- link test-engine with libshared instead of libsystemd_static
Previous version built fine on F27, but fails on F26 with the following error:
/usr/bin/ld: /tmp/ccr8HRGw.ltrans6.ltrans.o: undefined reference to symbol '__start_BUS_ERROR_MAP@@SD_SHARED'
/home/zbyszek/fedora/systemd/systemd-9d5aae75c64f5583a110f03b94816aacc03bbf4d/x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu/src/shared/libsystemd-shared-236.so: error adding symbols: DSO missing from command line
v3:
- add libudev_basic
We already use the "_static" suffix for libshared_static ("shared" is the name
of the library, "static" is the format) and other libs, so let's rename for
consistency.
Also change libsystemd_static_sources to libsystemd_sources, since the same
list is used for both and shorter is better.
So far I avoided adding license headers to meson files, but they are pretty
big and important and should carry license headers like everything else.
I added my own copyright, even though other people modified those files too.
But this is mostly symbolic, so I hope that's OK.
The indentation for emacs'es meson-mode is added .dir-locals.
All files are reindented automatically, using the lasest meson-mode from git.
Indentation should now be fairly consistent.
This simplifies things and leads to a smaller installation footprint.
libsystemd_internal and libsystemd_journal_internal are linked into
libystemd-shared and available to all programs linked to libsystemd-shared.
libsystemd_journal_internal is not needed anymore, and libsystemd-shared
is used everwhere. The few exceptions are: libsystemd.so, test-engine,
test-bus-error, and various loadable modules.
With mesonbuid/meson#1545, meson does not propagate deps of a library
when linking with that library. That's of course the right thing to do,
but it exposes a bunch of missing deps.
This compiles with both meson-0.39.1 and meson-git + pr/1545.
This is slightly complicated by the fact that files('libudev.h') cannot be used
as an argument in custom_target command (string is required). This restriction
should be lifted in future versions of mesons, so this could be simplified.
This is pretty ugly, because I don't know how to use a single
definition for two purposes:
- --version-script needs a path relative to the build root
- link_depends needs a path relative to source root
Also, link_depends does not accept files() output
[https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/1172], and I don't see a way to go
from files() output to a string path that can be used to craft the -Wl arg.
Ideally, a single files() result could be used in both places.
I'm leaving this as a separate commit for now.
It's crucial that we can build systemd using VS2010!
... er, wait, no, that's not the official reason. We need to shed old systems
by requring python 3! Oh, no, it's something else. Maybe we need to throw out
345 years of knowlege accumulated in autotools? Whatever, this new thing is
cool and shiny, let's use it.
This is not complete, I'm throwing it out here for your amusement and critique.
- rules for sd-boot are missing. Those might be quite complicated.
- rules for tests are missing too. Those are probably quite simple and
repetitive, but there's lots of them.
- it's likely that I didn't get all the conditions right, I only tested "full"
compilation where most deps are provided and nothing is disabled.
- busname.target and all .busname units are skipped on purpose.
Otherwise, installation into $DESTDIR has the same list of files and the
autoconf install, except for .la files.
It'd be great if people had a careful look at all the library linking options.
I added stuff until things compiled, and in the end there's much less linking
then in the old system. But it seems that there's still a lot of unnecessary
deps.
meson has a `shared_module` statement, which sounds like something appropriate
for our nss and pam modules. Unfortunately, I couldn't get it to work. For the
nss modules, we need an .so version of '2', but `shared_module` disallows the
version argument. For the pam module, it also didn't work, I forgot the reason.
The handling of .m4 and .in and .m4.in files is rather awkward. It's likely
that this could be simplified. If make support is ever dropped, I think it'd
make sense to switch to a different templating system so that two different
languages and not required, which would make everything simpler yet.
v2:
- use get_pkgconfig_variable
- use sh not bash
- use add_project_arguments
v3:
- drop required:true and fix progs/prog typo
v4:
- use find_library('bz2')
- add TTY_GID definition
- define __SANE_USERSPACE_TYPES__
- use join_paths(prefix, ...) is used on all paths to make them all absolute
v5:
- replace all declare_dependency's with []
- add more conf.get guards around optional components
v6:
- drop -pipe, -Wall which are the default in meson
- use compiler.has_function() and compiler.has_header_symbol instead of the
hand-rolled checks.
- fix duplication in 'liblibsystemd' library name
- use the right .sym file for pam_systemd
- rename 'compiler' to 'cc': shorter, and more idiomatic.
v7:
- use ENABLE_ENVIRONMENT_D not HAVE_ENVIRONMENT_D
- rename prefix to prefixdir, rootprefix to rootprefixdir
("prefix" is too common of a name and too easy to overwrite by mistake)
- wrap more stuff with conf.get('ENABLE...') == 1
- use rootprefix=='/' and rootbindir as install_dir, to fix paths under
split-usr==true.
v8:
- use .split() also for src/coredump. Now everything is consistent ;)
- add rootlibdir option and use it on the libraries that require it
v9:
- indentation
v10:
- fix check for qrencode and libaudit
v11:
- unify handling of executable paths, provide options for all progs
This makes the meson build behave slightly differently than the
autoconf-based one, because we always first try to find the executable in the
filesystem, and fall back to the default. I think different handling of
loadkeys, setfont, and telinit was just a historical accident.
In addition to checking in $PATH, also check /usr/sbin/, /sbin for programs.
In Fedora $PATH includes /usr/sbin, (and /sbin is is a symlink to /usr/sbin),
but in Debian, those directories are not included in the path.
C.f. https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/1576.
- call all the options 'xxx-path' for clarity.
- sort man/rules/meson.build properly so it's stable
