Most warnings have been cleaned up:
* min meson version is now 1.0
* additional parameters such as check, recursive added
* uses now global_source_root() instead of source_root()
* catting files on Windows wasn't actually working -- used in unit
tests. This is because meson passes paths with forward slashes to
cmd.exe `type` command, which doesn't understand them. This is bad,
because we were running effectively null tests for the affected tests.
Fortunately, the same tests were configured correctly on macOS and
Linux, and were all passing, so no serious damage.
There is one significant warning left:
`WARNING: Project targets '>=1.0' but uses feature deprecated since
'0.64.0': copy arg in configure_file. Use fs.copyfile instead`
Refer to mesonbuild/meson#12792. I have opened a PR against that to
undeprecate `copy` kwarg in a future version of meson.
Fixes: #8399
The hextobin tool is used to help us construct invalid .kmx files
without having to either hack these into the compiler, or write them
with a hex editor. It feels a little bit of overkill, but this makes it
easy to (a) work with our intended file structures, and (b) review any
changes to these invalid keyboard tests.
Note: I did do a cursory search for a hex2bin or hextobin that we could
easily use but did not find a good simple cross-platform tool that we
could consume (`xxd -r` would work but AFAICT constrains our format to a
dump which is much harder to work with and read -- I wanted to be able
to annotate with file structures.)
For an example, see ik_000_null_invalid.txt.
This means that building the invalid keyboards for tests requires node,
but that should be fine given we need node to build the valid keyboards
anyway.
I've put hextobin under core/tools but it could just as well live under
common/tools in the future, if we find it useful for other project unit
tests.
