How would that work? I imagine that there would be a script or program that takes a single .h file as argument and returns OK or fail for it; then meson knows to run that script once for every .h file in the tree. How to construct the list of files might also be a separate simple script that just does "git ls-files *.h" then filters out the files we know can't pass the compile. Would it make sense to split our current script into a bunch of smaller ones that each does one of these things, so that they can be reused by a Meson target in a way that's more convenient? In Make we would just call some wrapper script that simply calls the others to do the full job in a single pass, the way it is now. -- Álvaro Herrera 48°01'N 7°57'E — https://www.EnterpriseDB.com/ "Always assume the user will do much worse than the stupidest thing you can imagine."
