configure: Move preadv check to meson.build
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Move the preadv availability check to meson.build.  This is what we
want to be doing for host-OS-feature-checks anyway, but it also fixes
a problem with building for macOS with the most recent XCode SDK on a
Catalina host.

On that configuration, 'preadv()' is provided as a weak symbol, so
that programs can be built with optional support for it and make a
runtime availability check to see whether the preadv() they have is a
working one or one which they must not call because it will
runtime-assert.  QEMU's configure test passes (unless you're building
with --enable-werror) because the test program using preadv()
compiles, but then QEMU crashes at runtime when preadv() is called,
with errors like:

  dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: _preadv
    Referenced from: /Users/pm215/src/qemu/./build/x86/tests/test-replication
    Expected in: /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib

  dyld: Symbol not found: _preadv
    Referenced from: /Users/pm215/src/qemu/./build/x86/tests/test-replication
    Expected in: /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib

Meson's own function availability check has a special case for macOS
which adds '-Wl,-no_weak_imports' to the compiler flags, which forces
the test to require the real function, not the macOS-version-too-old
stub.

So this commit fixes the bug where macOS builds on Catalina currently
require --disable-werror.
