+Subject: [PATCH] Add bool option for tests
+
+Currently, there is no way to prevent tests from building using meson.
+When cross-compiling, building the tests isn't necessary.

+Subject: [PATCH] make cpp optional
+
+C++ isn't actually necessary to build libglib2. The fuzzing folder only has
+c files in it, and there is only a single test that is written in c++.
+
+Check if a C++ compiler exists, and if it does, then add the cxx-test.cpp file
+to tests/meson.build.
+
+Also change cxx.find_library to cc.find_library in fuzzing/meson.build
