mesonbuild
Using -Dbuildtype and -Doptimization + -Ddebug is not redundant despite the warning.
Describe the bug
When using both -Dbuildtype and -Doptimization, Meson gives the following warning:
WARNING: Recommend using either -Dbuildtype or -Doptimization + -Ddebug. Using both is redundant since they override each other. See: https://mesonbuild.com/Builtin-options.html#build-type-options
However, one can have good reason for passing both. The build type is a variable that is used in meson.build files and in Meson itself. For example, it is used when deciding whether to define NDEBUG if b_ndebug=if-release. That is why I pass -Dbuildtype=debug to my debug builds even when I want to choose a different optimization level. It seems to me that the simplest solution is that the warning should be removed.
To Reproduce
meson setup -Dbuildtype=debug -Doptimization=g build
If the meson.build has the default build type set to release and the developer wants to build for debugging with -Og, they will naturally want to change both buildtype and optimization.
Expected behavior No warning
system parameters Meson 0.60.0
Hmm, appears it is also used for b_vscrt, and for somehow classifying boost dependency libraries.
And also for some languages like java, d, and mono which should probably get moved from _buildtype_args to _debug_args && _optimization_args.
Looks like someone else ran up against this (see rule 4): https://blogs.gnome.org/mcatanzaro/2022/07/15/best-practices-for-build-options/
