Added 'section' key to buildoptions introspection #4546
Conversation

We could use that for qtcreator-meson-plugin too. We recently added an options dialog and for now use a hardcoded list of sections and their options. I'm curious on for what project do do want to use this? I'm trying to understand which projects use the introspection APIs to try to avoid breaking their use cases. Introspection is likely to need some extensions still for full IDE support. |

maybe sort these lists alphabetically?

Sure. Fixed with the last commit.
I also sorted the lists in mconf.py since I have copied them from there.

@textshell I am working on the meson plugin for KDevelop, though it is in the early stages, so you don't have to worry about breaking anything currently. |

That's great. Let us know when there's anything public on that project. Also feel free to steal code from https://github.com/qtcreator-meson-plugin/qtcreator-meson-plugin/ if it seems useful. I think currently there is still some things that are somewhat in need of definition on how a IDE integration with meson is expected to work. I'd love to chat about your ideas some time. Feel free to drop by in the #mesonbuild irc channel. I'm usually around in the evenings (MET). |

Sure. Thanks for the offer. |

You also need to update the documentation and add an snippet for the release notes. Also as this is a new feature it needs approval by @jpakkane |

Done. I have also improved the IDE integration documentation. |
This adds the new key
sectionto each build option when runningmeson introspect --buildoptions. This allows IDEs to group the build options into the same sections asmeson configure. This change should not break any existing code since only one key was added.
