Supersedes #13968
Currently long-running programs using
run_command
do not have any output until they have finished. This can give the indication that the configure step is (wrongfully) stuck. Having console output during a long-runningrun_command
also aides in debugging.I used a pair of threads to monitor the process output pipes (stdout/stderr) where they optionally forward the output to real stdout/stderr and optionally save it for later. This way you can optionally capture the output (for later use) at the same time as it is being shown in console. 🙂
To test this I beefed up the
test cases/common/33 run program/meson.build
script to output the four cases (capture
on/off,console
on/off).
