Description

I'm using get_define() and to_int() which gives this error. Haven't looked deeply into meson regarding this, but should String.to_int() be able to parse hexadecimal and other number systems?

Research direction
Investigate the implementation of to int() in Meson's source code (likely in mesonbuild/interpreterbase.py or similar). Check if there is already a parameter for base conversion. Review the issue comments for any proposed solutions or maintainer input. Consider adding a method to parse hexadecimal strings by extending the to int() function to accept an optional base parameter.
