meson: Avoid implicit declaration of absent functions
While detecting a presence of a function via 'cc.links()' gives desired result (i.e. detects whether function is present), it also produces a warning on systems where the function is not present (into meson-log.txt), e.g.: qemu.git/build/meson-private/tmph74x3p38/testfile.c:2:34: \ warning: implicit declaration of function 'malloc_trim' [-Wimplicit-function-declaration] And some distributions (e.g. Gentoo) parse the meson log and consider these erroneous because it can lead to feature misdetection (see [1]). We can check whether given function exists via 'cc.has_function()' or whether STATX_* macros exist via 'cc.has_header_symbol()'. 1: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Modern_C_porting Resolves: https://bugs.gentoo.org/898810 Signed-off-by:Michal Privoznik <mprivozn@redhat.com> Message-Id: <8e02776d18595a1c575c90a189ff65f1785f76ca.1685442612.git.mprivozn@redhat.com> Signed-off-by:
