Currently the meson rule will always set LDFLAGS to
flags.cxx_linker_executable.If there are any executable-specific flags eg.
-piein that list, any mesonshared_library()will fail to link.Cmake has a feature whereby you can set target-specific linker flags eg.
CMAKE_CXX_LINK_EXECUTABLE. Meson does not have a similar concept: upstream issueThis MR adds a new
shared_ldflags_optionattribute to themesonrule that will add shared flags to a build option with the specified name. This attribute follows themakeshared_ldflags_varspattern.Additional change: the
optionsvalues are not currently expanded. This PR also adds location expansion to this attr.Update: due to nothing ever being merged in this repo, I've had to combine this with #1428 due to conflicts.
