If configure/make has been run in the src path it can conflict with tests, which may require different build options.
Also add a comment when rebuilding for code generation.
If the test path is inside the repo path then it can cause strange issues during testing because the entire repo path is duplicated into the test path so that all tests see a consistent view of the repo.
Another solution might be to pick a better test path name and exclude it from the rsync, but this fix at least addresses the immediate issue.
This was started in c5ae047e but did not include generation of parse.auto.c.
The parser has also been improved with better errors and multiple passes to reduce dependency on ordering and produce and cleaner output.
Option order resolution now includes cycle detection.
--smart is now the default mode. Since --dev is now just an alias for --no-optimize, remove it. --dev-test has been a noop for a while, so this seems like a good time to remove it.
Also make the C auto-generator skip writing files that have not changed to avoid updating the timestamp.
Parse enough of config.yaml to auto-generate config.auto.h and config.auto.c.
This commit implements most of the infrastructure needed to migrate the rest of the build code to C, but each set of auto-generated files will present its own challenges.
The build is now dependent on libyaml. At this point there is no need for a hard requirement, but that will come soon so it seems better to add the dependency now.
Update Ubuntu 12.04 to 16.04. Version 16.04 is recently EOL but testing on an old version is beneficial.
Update Ubuntu 18.04 to 20.04.
Update Fedora 32 to 33. Version 34 would have been preferred but there were some build issues, i.e. the default shell did not work with configure, and after ksh was installed configure locked up.
Add --no-install-recommends to apt-get commands to save a bit of time and space.
Update test Dockerfile to run in multiple steps. This makes the container larger but also makes rebuilding after changes faster. The --squash option may be used to keep the container small.
Remove obsolete casts in protocol/parallel module. These casts were included in the original migration because Ubuntu 12.04 32-bit gcc required them, but Ubuntu 16.04 32-bit gcc complains. There is no production issue here since at this point in the code the file descriptors are guaranteed to be >= 0.
When running outside of our standard Vagrantfile the default will not be set correctly, so require the user to set it.
In any case, this option is primarily useful for reporting so note that in the command line help.
The tests worked fine on multiple architectures, but would only run "bare metal", i.e. tests that required containers could not be run.
Enable basic multi-architecture support by allowing containers to be built using whatever architecture the host supports. Also allow cached containers to be defined for multiple architectures in container.yaml.
Add a Dockerfile which can be used as a container for other containers to provide a consistent development environment.
The primary goal is to allow development on Mac M1 but other architectures should find these improvements useful.
Moving to YAML allows the configuration data to be read by C programs.
Also go back to using YAML::XS since it is the only implementation that has proper boolean support.
The real/all test could fill the ramdisk depending on which vm and pg version were selected.
Debug level should be fine for most purposes and the level can be increased when needed.
The unit test Makefile generation was a hodge-podge of constants and rules based on distros/versions that easily got out of date and did not work on an unknown system. All of this dates from the mixed Perl/C unit test implementation.
Instead use configure to generate most of the important Makefile variables, which allows the unit tests to run on multiple platforms, e.g. MacOS and FreeBSD.
There is plenty of work to be done here and not all the unit tests work on MacOS and FreeBSD for various reasons.
As a POC update the MacOS and FreeBSD tests on Cirrus-CI to run a few command unit tests.
MacOS has a very old version of rsync that does not support this option.
Rather than require a newer version of rsync exclude the option since the plan is to remove the requirement for it.
This is a more appropriate place for the check and means test.pl can avoid loading any XML files if --no-gen is specified.
The XML::Checker::Parser module originally selected for XML in Perl is not very portable so the requirement reduces the number of platforms where tests can be run.
Data required for parsing was spread between the config and defined modules, mostly for historical reasons because the same data was used by Perl.
Requiring all the parse rules to be accessed with function interfaces makes the code more complicated and new rules harder to implement.
Instead, move the data to the parse module so in the most complex cases no interface functions are needed. This reduces the total amount of code and paves the way for more complex parse rules.
The help data can be represented more compactly in a pack and this separates data needed for help from data needed for parsing, freeing each to have a more appropriate representation.
CentOS6 EOL'd and the mirrors were swiftly deleted, leading to failures in tests and documentation.
Remove CentOS 6 for now to get builds going again with the intention to replace it in the near future with CentOS 8.
There is no sense in generating detailed coverage reports in CI environments where they will never be seen. It takes time and format differences in some older versions can cause problems in the report generation code.
Note that missing coverage will still be reported on stdout and the test will fail.
* Fix a few issues with file names being truncated introduced in 787d3fd6.
* Use function line info from the lcov file to calculate which lines to show for uncovered functions. This is more accurate than what we were doing before and function comment headers are now excluded which reduces clutter in the report.
These results were stored in the vagrant path along with a full copy of src.
Instead store the raw coverage data in test/result/raw and change source references to the files that already exist in [test-path]/repo.
It makes more sense to build in the test path since many developers won't have a vagrant path. Anyway, it's better not to modify the vagrant path since it belongs to vagrant.
Instead of installing the binary just mount it into the container from where it was built. This saves a bit of time and space.
Building packages is not a normal part of development so don't build packages by default. Instead build them in CI as needed.
Do the builds in test/result instead of .vagrant to be friendlier with hosts that are not running vagrant. Anyway, it's probably not a good idea to be creating files in the .vagrant path.
Building the configure.ac script can take multiple seconds depending on the state of the autoconf cache. Use a checksum to only rebuild when configure.ac has changed no matter how the timestamps have changed.
Configure:
* Use standard make variables, e.g. CFLAGS, rather than our own, e.g. CINCLUDE
* Add PG_CONFIG var for configuring custom pg_config location
* Don't error if xml_config or pg_config is missing (but error if libs/headers not found)
* Check for zlib.h header
* Check for lz4frame.h header when liblz4 is present
Make:
* Use gcc-style auto dependencies
* Put src list at the top since it is most frequently modified
* Add clean-all target to also remove auto-generated config files
This file is used to generate src/configure and is not required to make pgbackrest since src/configure is updated before distribution.
Move to src/build so it is out of the way.
Changes to reference.xml can affect the command-line documentation built into the binary so changes must trigger an auto-generated code build during smart builds.
The prior method was to build a special container to hold these files which meant they would get stale on development systems. On CI the container was always rebuilt so failures would be seen there even when dev seemed to be working.
Instead get the package source when the package is built to ensure it is as up-to-date as possible.
This change was prompted by failures on the Ubuntu 12.04 container while getting the package source, probably due to an ancient version of git. Package builds are no longer supported on that platform with the addition of lz4 compression so it didn't seem worth fixing.
The primary source for project info is now src/version.h.
The pgBackRestDoc::ProjectInfo module loads the project info from src/version.h at runtime so there is no need to update it.
This is consistent with the way BackRest and BackRest test were renamed way back in 18fd2523.
More modules will be moving to pgBackRestDoc soon so renaming now reduces churn later.
