feature request: expose more info from custom targets
Basic things like the name of the target, input/output file names would be really useful.
"Would be really useful" doesn't explain how it would be useful.
- the output filenames are already available -- see the
.full_path()method - the input filenames are already encoded in your meson.build files as arguments to custom_target() and serve no use case after the target was created
- the "name" of the target is meaningless as it's only used for display purposes
Can you give an example of where you would use information that isn't currently available?
