pkgconf: update to 3.0.5.
Changes from 3.0.4 to 3.0.5:
----------------------------
* Correctness fixes:
- Shell quoting and backslash escapes in pc(5) properties are now consumed
once, after variable substitution, instead of while splitting the property
beforehand. Quoting arriving from a variable is therefore treated like
quoting written inline, --variable reports a value as the .pc file spells
it, and fragments are escaped exactly once when rendered. This supersedes
the 3.0.4 fix, which unescaped whitespace at parse time and so hid the
escaping from consumers such as cmake's FindPkgConfig.
See https://github.com/pkgconf/pkgconf/issues/575 and
https://github.com/pkgconf/pkgconf/issues/579.
- Metadata queries no longer consult Conflicts rules between the modules named
on the command line, as reporting metadata does not combine them into a
build. This covers --license, --license-file, --modversion, --path,
--print-provides, --print-requires, --print-requires-private,
--print-variables, --source and --variable. --cflags, --libs and --exists
are unaffected.
See https://github.com/pkgconf/pkgconf/issues/580.
- ${pc_sysrootdir} is now injected into the path taken by every -isystem and
-idirafter flag in a fragment list, rather than only the first.
- -isystem and -idirafter written joined to their path, as in `-isystem/opt`,
are split into the flag and the path it takes, so that the path is subject
to the same sysroot injection and deduplication as the separated spelling.
- Sysroot injection is decided by reading the fragment's path instead of
remembering whether ${pc_sysrootdir} was expanded, so a path which already
lies under the sysroot never acquires a doubled prefix.
* Performance:
- The package cache and the fragment deduplication index are kept sorted and
searched with bsearch() rather than re-sorted or scanned linearly.
- Variable keys and fragment text are stored with the structures they belong
to, and buffers are rewound and reused rather than reallocated.
- Escaping, fragment rendering and path relocation write into their
destination buffer directly.
Resolving a graph of roughly forty modules is about six times faster than
3.0.4, and a small graph such as gio-2.0 about twice as fast.
* Build and portability fixes:
- Fix the pkgconf-lite build, which failed to link because the dependency list
renderer had come to depend on tracing machinery that pkgconf-lite omits.
- Fix the test runner failing to build on MinGW, where the mkdtemp(3) fallback
was compiled only for MSVC builds.
See https://github.com/pkgconf/pkgconf/issues/582.
- The meson build now defines HAVE_DECL_READLINKAT, so readlinkat(2) is used
where it is available instead of always falling back to readlink(2).
The MinGW and readlinkat fixes are by moi15moi.
* New libpkgconf API additions:
- pkgconf_argv_split_raw: splits a string into an argument vector like
pkgconf_argv_split, but leaves the quoting it reads in place.
- pkgconf_fragment_filter_splice: like pkgconf_fragment_filter, but moves the
matching fragments to the destination list instead of copying them.
- pkgconf_charset_from_spans: compiles a span list into a byte set.
- pkgconf_buffer_escape_charset: escapes a buffer against such a byte set.
- pkgconf_buffer_rewind: empties a buffer while keeping its allocation.
- pkgconf_list_splice: moves the contents of one list onto the end of another.

pkgconf: update to 3.0.1.
Changes from 3.0.0 to 3.0.1:
----------------------------
* Various Meson-related fixes and improvements.
Patches by Benjamin Gilbert.
Changes from 2.5.1 to 3.0.0:
----------------------------
* DEPRECATION: The autotools build system will be dropped after the 3.0 release.
Building pkgconf with muon is recommended for early bootstrap and meson in later
stages of bootstrap.
Alternatively users can use pkgconf-lite for early bootstrap.
Continuous integration now exercises both the muon and pkgconf-lite builds.
See https://github.com/pkgconf/pkgconf/issues/481 for rationale and discussion.
* DEPRECATION: Support for setting `PKG_CONFIG_PATH` from the Windows registry
is slated for removal in 3.1. It is recommended `PKG_CONFIG_PATH` be set from
the environment on Windows.
See https://github.com/pkgconf/pkgconf/issues/546 for rationale and discussion.
* SPDX Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) generation:
- New spdxtool(1) utility which generates SPDX Lite 3.0.1 SBOM files. Initial
implementation by Tuukka Pasanen, sponsored by The FreeBSD Foundation, and
substantially improved since, with major contributions by Elizabeth Ashford
and additional patches by Joshua Watt and Pierre Pronchery.
- bomtool now supports a --output option, which writes the generated SBOM to
a file instead of standard output, and --define-variable, as the pkgconf CLI
does. The --define-variable support is by Tuukka Pasanen.
- bomtool now supports a --creation-time option, like spdxtool, which sets the
SBOM creation timestamp (in ISO 8601 format) instead of using the current
time, and no longer embeds the pkgconf version in its output. Both changes
allow for reproducible SBOM generation.
- bomtool now honors the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable, deriving the
SBOM creation timestamp from it when --creation-time is not given, for
reproducible builds.
- bomtool: improved SPDX conformance. Mandatory PackageCopyrightText and
PackageLicenseConcluded fields are emitted as NOASSERTION when unavailable,
a Created timestamp is included, invalid PackageVerificationCode output was
removed, the package identifier charset was corrected,
PackageDownloadLocation is derived from the Source tag, and SPDX 2.3 package
names are used. Patches by Stéphane Rochoy and Tuukka Pasanen.
* New pccritic(1) utility which scores the quality of pc(5) files. Each module
or .pc file is graded from A to F based on findings across several categories:
required and recommended metadata, version sanity, relocatability of libdir
and includedir, Cflags and Libs hygiene, the Requires relationship, the NTIA
SBOM minimum elements, and file-formatting style. Supports --quiet for a
one-line score per target, --min-score for use as a CI gate, and colorized
output.
* New test and I/O framework.
- kyua is no longer required to run tests.
- Declarative configuration for integration tests, C unit tests for functional \
tests.
- Tests now run on Windows.
- .pc and personality files are now opened in binary mode, and the line reader
was reworked to correctly handle LF, CRLF and lone-CR line endings, including
on non-seekable streams. Binary-mode handling by moi15moi.
Major contributions by Elizabeth Ashford.
* New pc(5) features:
- Source tag: a URI which describes where a given package may be downloaded.
- License.file tag: a path to a license file that is on disk.
- Requires.shared tag: like Requires.private, except a list of dependencies \
only used
when building in shared mode.
- Cflags.shared tag: like Cflags.private, except a list of CFLAGS only used \
when building
in shared mode.
- Libs.shared tag: like Libs.private, except a list of LIBS only used when building
in shared mode.
- Link.ABI tag: a comma-separated list of tags describing the application binary
interfaces a consumer must link a package against, such as c++ or fortran.
Tags are case-insensitive and normalized to lowercase, and may be queried
with --link-abi.
The Source and License.file tags are by Tuukka Pasanen; additional patches by
Elizabeth Ashford.
* Windows support has been significantly improved.
- pkgconf can now be built and tested with Visual Studio and clang-cl.
- Windows on ARM builds are supported, and MSI installers are produced for
x86, x64 and arm64 using MSVC.
- The console code page is set to UTF-8 and non-ASCII entries in
PKG_CONFIG_PATH are now handled correctly.
The clang-cl support, MSI installers and UTF-8 console handling are by
moi15moi.
* Portability:
- pkgconf is now built and tested in continuous integration on NetBSD,
FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Haiku, OmniOS, macOS and Cygwin in addition to Linux and
Windows.
- pkgconf now falls back to readlink(2) on systems which lack readlinkat(2).
- A fallback is provided for platforms without nl_langinfo_l, and xlocale.h is
included where needed to build on macOS.
- Fixed -Werror=format build failures on MinGW caused by the PRIu64 macro
expanding to an MSVCRT format specifier that the GNU format-string checker
rejects; serial and identifier values are now printed with %llu.
The expanded platform CI and the nl_langinfo_l/xlocale.h fallbacks are by
moi15moi.
* Security hardening:
- Variable substitution is now guarded against denial-of-service inputs,
including billion-laughs style expansion and excessively complex bytecode
programs.
- Dependency traversal is now limited to 256 levels by default to prevent
stack exhaustion from excessively deep graphs. A depth of -1 explicitly
enables unlimited traversal.
- Bytecode validation now uses overflow-safe bounds checks and rejects
truncated, oversized and otherwise malformed programs.
- Dynamic buffers now reject overlapping source and destination storage and
guard allocation-size arithmetic against overflow.
- LLVM libFuzzer targets were added for the pc(5) parser and the solver, and
the numerous out-of-memory and crash paths they surfaced were hardened.
- Allocation failures are now propagated through parsing, rendering, output
and SBOM generation instead of silently producing partial results.
- Dropped use of strlcpy, strlcat and other silently truncating string
functions.
* CLI changes:
- New --newlines option, which separates emitted fragments with newlines
instead of spaces.
- New --print-digraph-query-nodes option, which annotates the --digraph
output with the nodes that were part of the original query.
- --list-all and --list-package-names now include synthesized virtual
packages provided via the Provides tag.
- Variables can now be overridden using PKG_CONFIG_MODULENAME_VARIABLENAME
environment variables. This was formally specified but never implemented
in pkgconf.
- PKG_CONFIG_LOG is now appended to rather than overwritten.
- --dump-personality output is now consistent with the
pkgconf-personality(5) format and additionally reports WantDefaultPure and
WantDefaultStatic.
- The vestigial --relocate=path option, which existed only for the old test
suite, has been removed.
- pccritic --min-score now strictly accepts integer values from 0 through 100.
* Build system changes:
- The meson build gained a with-pkg-config-dir option to override the default
package search path, matching the autotools --with-pkg-config-dir option.
* pkg.m4 changes:
- PKG_WITH_MODULES now properly quotes its action arguments (serial 16).
Patch by Antonin Décimo.
- The macros no longer direct users to the freedesktop pkg-config project.
* Correctness fixes:
- The built-in pkg-config and pkgconf packages are now constructed from the
configured personality instead of being hardcoded, so their reported data
reflects the active personality. They are also exposed as proper versioned
virtual packages.
- ${pc_sysrootdir} now defaults to an empty string instead of '/'.
- Variable substitution was reimplemented using a bytecode engine, which
tracks whether special variables such as ${pc_sysrootdir} have already been
applied so that they are not substituted more than once.
- The solver now re-checks the final solution for conflicts before returning
success, and tracks the origin of conflict rules.
- Requires.internal is now treated as a weaker form of Requires.private: its
dependency nodes need not be satisfied when link libraries are not
requested.
- pkgconf now warns about .pc files that duplicate a dependency-list field,
whose behavior is inconsistent across pkg-config implementations.
- Version comparison was reworked to use a structured algorithm modeled on
apk-tools.
- Newline folding behavior when parsing multi-line fields has been adjusted.
- Bare variable expansions inside fragment lists are now re-parsed so that any
flags they expand to are tokenized correctly.
- ${pc_sysrootdir} is now only injected when it matches a complete path
boundary, and obviously bogus sysroot_dir definitions are ignored, fixing
incorrect sysroot injection.
- Arguments are now combined when a flag is expected to carry a separate
value, such as -I dir or -framework name.
- SPDX license expressions in the License field are now properly parsed and
validated. Patches by Tuukka Pasanen.
* The libpkgconf API and ABI were substantially reworked, breaking both API and
ABI compatibility. Consumers will need source changes as well as a rebuild.
The libpkgconf soversion is now 8.
- An abstract pkgconf_buffer_t type is now used throughout libpkgconf in place
of fixed-size stack buffers, removing a class of truncation bugs.
- A new pkgconf_output API abstracts all output, allowing the output stream to
be set per-client and redirected (pkgconf_client_set_output,
pkgconf_output_file_fmt and friends).
- The pkgconf_tuple_parse API has been removed; variables are now evaluated
via pkgconf_variable_eval (backed by the new bytecode engine).
- The fragment rendering API was reworked around pkgconf_buffer_t, and the old
pkgconf_fragment_render API has been removed. Fragment renderer callbacks
and pkgconf_fragment_render_buf now return bool so allocation and rendering
failures can be reported.
- pkgconf_license_render now returns bool so allocation failures can be
reported.
- The package copyright field was migrated to a bufferset.
- Environment variable lookups can now be mocked via pkgconf_client_getenv.
- Client construction gained an options-based API: pkgconf_client_init_with_options
and pkgconf_client_new_with_options accept a pkgconf_client_options_t \
struct, with
the original pkgconf_client_init and pkgconf_client_new retained as \
wrappers. The
unveil handler may now be supplied directly as a client option.
- New pkgconf_variable_eval_name API, which evaluates a named variable and
applies sysroot fixups to the result.
- The pkgconf_pkg_traverse_func_t callback gained a trailing iter_flags
argument carrying per-traversal state (PKGCONF_PKG_ITERF_*), replacing the
removed PKGCONF_PKG_PKGF_ITER_PKG_IS_PRIVATE client flag.
