Why do add_global_arguments get ignored when an executable's native is true?

[metaleap]

Something I just noticed, anyone know why that is?

[dcbaker]

add_project and add_global arguments also takes a matching native argument. If you don’t set the native argument both default to the host machine

Probably because add_global_arguments was only called with native: false? Depending on the kind of argument you may need to call it twice (or test twice for the arguments), for example:

warn_flags = ['-Wexpansion-to-defined', '-Wformat-security', ... ]
add_project_arguments(cc.get_supported_arguments(warn_flags), native: false, language: 'c')
add_project_arguments(cc.get_supported_arguments(warn_flags), native: true, language: 'c')
