  Visual Studio builds: Update build info

  Update and add information for the builds after the updates we have here.

2026-01-26  Chun-wei Fan  <fanc999@yahoo.com.tw>

  NMake Makefiles: Make build process more robust

  In the build process, we create object, executable and target listings on the
  fly by generating temporary makefile snippets and including them as we
  progress, but this poses an issue when another build is attempted when a
  build is in progress.
  
  Improve on this situation by including the toolset, configuration and target
  platform when we create the snippet filename.

  NMake Makefiles: Clean up and make things more flexible

  Clean up the NMake Makefiles by consolidating repeated items, and things more
  flexible by allowing one to specify the include and library directories for
  Boost if building the benchmark program.

  MSVC-Builds.md: Mention Visual Studio 2026

2025-12-23  Chun-wei Fan  <fanc999@yahoo.com.tw>

  NMake Makefiles: Update for Visual Studio 2026

  Make the libsigc++ DLLs and .lib's have distinguished naming for Visual
  Studio 2026 (vc145), that matches the toolset version, and drop some
  cruft as Visual Studio versions prior to 2017 are no longer supported to
  build the 3.x branches of libsigc++.

  Meson build: Better detection of MSVC-like compilers

  Treat all compilers with MSVC-like argument syntax the same.
  Use cpp_compiler.get_define('_MSC_VER') instead of
  cpp_compiler.version() to check compiler version.
  Suggested by Tim-Philipp Müller and Chun-wei Fan.

  signal_connect: Simplify ambiguity removal when compiling with MSVC

  commented "const" in sigc::mem_fun prototypes' are meaningless. Using a
  "const T_obj" as argument type when the method is const void any conflict.
  
  remove useless struct in test program.

2024-09-03  Kjell Ahlstedt  <kjellahlstedt@gmail.com>

  signal_connect(): Add @newin

2024-09-03  Rémi Hérilier  <rherilier@yahoo.fr>

  signal_connect: Add helper functions to ease connecting functions or methods to signals

  Those helper functions have 2 main usages:
  * avoid writing template parameters in case of method or function overloading;
  * wrap use of sigc::mem_fun or sigc::ptr_fun when possible.
  
  unsupported cases:
  * lambda functions;
  * std::function (or alike);
  * volatile functions;
  * const? volatile methods;
  * binding with sigc::bind.

  Simplify the calls to dependency().get_variable().

  slot|signal: static_assert not using R,T... syntax

  This can lead to clearer errors by explaining the user's error, not just
  saying they used an incomplete type (why is it incomplete?). I don't use
  only static_assert(false) because that's ill-formed before C++23, AFAIK,
  & even if it's OK in some cases I don't grok which... so hope this works

  Visual Studio builds: Convert build docs to MarkDown

  Convert the README.txt to MarkDown format so that it is easier on the eye in

  * Some other minor tweaks

  sigc++.pc.in: Set -DLIBSIGCXX_STATIC in cxxflags as needed

  Update the Meson build files to put in -DLIBSIGCXX_STATIC when we are building
  a static build of libsigc++.
  
  For the CMake and autotools build, this is not used.

2023-06-26  Chun-wei Fan  <fanchunwei@src.gnome.org>

  NMake Makefiles: Accomodate static builds during "install"

  Copy the built DLL and PDB only if building a shared build, and copy the
  appropriate .lib file according to the build type.

2023-06-26  Chun-wei Fan  <fanchunwei@src.gnome.org>

  build: Actually support MSVC static builds

  Apply -DLIBSIGCXX_STATIC as appropriate when we request a static build to be
  done for the Meson and NMake builds, and skip building the version .rc file
  if a static build is requested.
  
  For the NMake builds, separate the build artifacts from the static and shared
  builds.
  
  The CMake builds are not updated here as it always assumes a shared build, nor
  are the autotools builds since it is not used for Visual Studio builds at all.

2023-06-26  Chun-wei Fan  <fanchunwei@src.gnome.org>

  build: Drop _WINDLL from sigc++config.h.[in|meson|cmake]

  ...and add a new check macro LIBSIGCXX_STATIC, to use the appropriate macros to
  build and link against libsigc++. Drop this from the build files as well.

2023-06-26  Chun-wei Fan  <fanchunwei@src.gnome.org>

  meson: Disallow default_library == 'both' on Visual Studio

  We need different defines/cflags for building static and shared builds of
  libsigc++, so we can't really support default_library = 'both' for libsigc++
  without much retinkering.
  
  So, just disallow such builds at least for now.
  
  Also, save up whether we are attempting a static build in the Visual Studio
  build.

  Allow slots with rvalue reference parameters

  In code based on Glibmm it's quite common to convert a Glib C structure
  to a Glib::Object's descendant before passing it as a parameter to a
  slot. If the slot is not supposed to modify the object, then everything
  is fine, we can declare the parameter as a const reference and the
  temporary object will be accurately dealt with by the compiler. However,
  if the Glib based object is getting modified, the only way to pass it to
  the slot is to declare it a Glib::RefPtr shared pointer. This creates a
  lot of unnecessary churn of memory allocations for a simple deal of
  calling a signal. However, C++ has a specific mean for this particular
  semantic of passing a temporary object: rvalue reference.
  
  For example, somewhere inside Gtkmm might be a declaration:
  _WRAP_SIGNAL(void sun_rose(const Glib::RefPtr<Gtk::Sun> &new_sun),
  "sun-rose")
  
  Instead its more semantically correct to write:
  _WRAP_SIGNAL(void sun_rose(Gtk::Sun &&new_sun), "sun-rose")
  
  And later somewhere in your code:
  world->signal_sun_rose().connect([&](auto &&new_sun) {
    new_sun.shine();
  });
  
  This commit makes a couple of simple modifications that allow declaring
  signals and slots with rvalue reference parameter.

  NMake Makefiles: Use toolset version in DLL filename by default

  The libsigc++ DLL and .lib was only named 'sigc-vc150(d)-3_0' until the
  previous patches in this series improved Visual Studio 2019 support to
  name the DLL and .lib by using 'sigc-vc160(d)-3_0'.
  
  This updates the naming of the DLL and .lib to the toolset version as
  defined by Microsoft by default, i.e. 'vc141' for Visual Studio 2017
  and 'vc142' for Visual Studio 2019.  If the former DLL naming ('vc150')
  is desired, passing 'USE_COMPAT_LIBS=1' will achive this.

  meson.build: Fix 'meson dist' on Windows

  Since we are assured that we are using Python 3.x on when we run Meson, we
  do not really need to look for the 'python3' executable, but we could
  just use whatever Python interpreter that is used to run Meson.
  
  This will fix situations where it is commonly the case where we may have
  multiple Python 3.x installations on Windows (www.python.org, and those
  from Cygwin/mingw-w64), so that Meson really uses one and only one
  Python installation to run everything that is Python-related, which will
  thus fix '[meson|ninja] dist' on Visual Studio builds.
