meson: Unable to change any options when using `--reconfigure`, even though output shows they were changed
Describe the bug
When I attempt to change c_args using --reconfigure, there is no change.
To Reproduce
When I use something like:
meson gcc-build -Dc_args=-fno-common --reconfigure
c_args doesn’t change. I ran meson configure gcc-build to verify. Also tried with
CFLAGS=-fno-common meson gcc-build --reconfigure but got the same result.
system parameters
- native build
- Debian 10

The same issue occurs for
cpp_std. Once a build folder is configure the first time you can changecpp_stdto anything you want and it will have no effect. Meson will also not raise an error if the value ofcpp_stdis not valid.
