No need to involve a trivial shell script for this.
We could call the compiler directly, but test() expects arguments
to be passed separately and cc.cmd_array() can contain arguments
itself. Using env is easier than manually slicing the array because
meson has no builtins for that.
Bash will generate a very nice message for us:
/tmp/ff.sh: line 1: SOMEVAR: parameter null or not set
Let's save some keystrokes by not replacing this with our own inferior
messages.
GIT_VERSION is not available as a config.h variable, because it's rendered
into version.h during builds. Let's rework jinja2 rendering to also
parse version.h. No functional change, the new variable is so far unused.
I guess this will make partial rebuilds a bit slower, but it's useful
to be able to use the full version string.
This is very similar to (and directly based on) the test for --help. I think
it's nice to do this: the test is very quick, but it'll catch cases where we
forgot to hook up the option, or forgot to exit after printing --version, and
it'll also increase our test coverage a bit.
It seems that --invert-grep used to affect --author, but now it doesn't (with
git-2.35.1-1.fc36.x86_64), so effectively we would only show the one entry that
was supposed to be filtered out.
When we do mkdir, we should just use 0o777 and let the umask take care of the
rest. Specifying an explicit mode is inappropriate. And when touching the code,
let's replace black madness with normal python style.
It's like CIFuzz but unlike CIFuzz it's compatible with forks and
it should make it possible to run the fuzzers to make sure that
patches backported to them are backported correctly without introducing
new bugs and regressions.
It was copy-pasted directly from OSS-Fuzz where it makes sense to
kind of strip binaries to get nice backtraces but when the fuzzers
are built and run locally with gdb it would be nice to have a little
bit more than that.
It was initially discovered in elfutils where I put the same flags
and was surprised when I couldn't run the fuzzer comfortably step
by step, which led to the same change there: https://github.com/google/oss-fuzz/pull/7092
:-)
The scheme is very similar to libsystemd-shared.so: instead of building a
static library, we build a shared library from the same objects and link the
two users to it. Both systemd and systemd-analyze consist mostly of the fairly
big code in libcore, so we save a bit on the installation:
(-0g, no strip)
-rwxr-xr-x 5238864 Dec 14 12:52 /var/tmp/inst1/usr/lib/systemd/systemd
-rwxr-xr-x 5399600 Dec 14 12:52 /var/tmp/inst1/usr/bin/systemd-analyze
-rwxr-xr-x 244912 Dec 14 13:17 /var/tmp/inst2/usr/lib/systemd/systemd
-rwxr-xr-x 461224 Dec 14 13:17 /var/tmp/inst2/usr/bin/systemd-analyze
-rwxr-xr-x 5271568 Dec 14 13:17 /var/tmp/inst2/usr/lib/systemd/libsystemd-core-250.so
(-0g, strip)
-rwxr-xr-x 2522080 Dec 14 13:19 /var/tmp/inst1/usr/lib/systemd/systemd
-rwxr-xr-x 2604160 Dec 14 13:19 /var/tmp/inst1/usr/bin/systemd-analyze
-rwxr-xr-x 113304 Dec 14 13:19 /var/tmp/inst2/usr/lib/systemd/systemd
-rwxr-xr-x 207656 Dec 14 13:19 /var/tmp/inst2/usr/bin/systemd-analyze
-rwxr-xr-x 2648520 Dec 14 13:19 /var/tmp/inst2/usr/lib/systemd/libsystemd-core-250.so
So for systemd itself we grow a bit (2522080 → 2648520+113304=2761824), but
overall we save. The most is saved on all the test files that link to libcore,
if they are installed, because there's 15 of them:
$ du -s /var/tmp/inst?
220096 /var/tmp/inst1
122960 /var/tmp/inst2
I also considered making systemd-analyze a symlink to /usr/lib/systemd/systemd
and turning systemd into a multicall binary. We did something like this with
udevd and udevadm. But that solution doesn't fit well in this case.
systemd-analyze has a bunch of functionality that is not used in systemd,
so the systemd binary would need to grow quite a bit. And we're likely to
add new types of verification or introspection features in analyze, and this
baggage would only grow. In addition, there are the test binaries which also
benefit from this.
