Description
Describe the bug
Options marked as deprecated in meson.options are now rejected, e.g.
meson.build:1:0: ERROR: Value "true" (of type "string") for option "systemtap" is not one of the choices. Possible choices are (as string): "enabled", "disabled", "auto".
This came up in the wild with systemd and glib.
To Reproduce
meson.build:
project(
'foo',
'c',
meson_version : '>= 1.3.0',
version : '0.1',
default_options : ['warning_level=3'],
)
dependencies = [
]
exe = executable(
'foo',
'foo.c',
dependencies : dependencies,
install : true,
)
test('basic', exe)
foo.c:
#include <stdio.h>
#define PROJECT_NAME "foo"
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
if(argc != 1) {
printf("%s takes no arguments.\n", argv[0]);
return 1;
}
printf("This is project %s.\n", PROJECT_NAME);
return 0;
}
option('systemtap',
type : 'feature',
value : 'auto',
deprecated : { 'true': 'enabled', 'false': 'disabled' },
