When targeting the GNU ABI, we consider `.a` libraries first but also
accept `.lib`. For symmetry, when targeting the MSVC ABI, we now
consider `.lib` first but also accept `.a`.
This adds support for meson-generated static libraries, which are named
with the pattern `lib${foo}.a`:
* https://mesonbuild.com/FAQ.html#why-does-building-my-project-with-msvc-output-static-libraries-called-libfooa
Note that this was previously attempted by
* commit be848a71b0 (MSVC: Teach find_library to consider the 'libfoo.a'
naming convention, 2022-09-19, v3.25.0-rc1~111^2)
but was reverted by
* commit 955d6245c1 (MSVC: Revert "Teach find_library to consider the
'libfoo.a' naming convention", 2022-11-28, v3.25.1~6^2)
due to problems finding GNU ABI libraries in PATH-derived prefixes.
Since then,
* commit 0a81110b84 (find_(library|file|path): Drop PATH-derived search
prefixes, 2023-09-14, v3.28.0-rc1~91^2)
removed the problematic search paths, so we can restore this change.
Fixes: #23975
CMake Tests Directory ********************* This directory contains the CMake test suite. See also the `CMake Source Code Guide`_. .. _`CMake Source Code Guide`: ../Help/dev/source.rst Many tests exist as immediate subdirectories, but some tests are organized as follows. * ``CMakeLib/``: Source code, used for tests, that links to the ``CMakeLib`` library defined over in ``Source/``. * ``CMakeOnly/``: Deprecated. Tests that run CMake to generate a project but not build it. Superseded by ``Tests/RunCMake/``. * ``Find*/``: Tests for specific find modules that can only be run on machines with the corresponding packages installed. They are enabled in ``CMakeLists.txt`` by undocumented options used on CI builds. * ``Module/``: Tests for specific CMake modules. * ``RunCMake/``: Tests that run CMake and/or other tools while precisely checking their return code and stdout/stderr content. Useful for testing error cases and diagnostic output.
