It's time to start preparing for a version of redo that doesn't work
unless we build it first (because it will rely on C modules, and
eventually be rewritten in C altogether).
To get rolling, remove the old-style symlinks to the main programs, and
rename those programs from redo-*.py to redo/cmd_*.py. We'll also move
all library functions into the redo/ dir, which is a more python-style
naming convention.
Previously, install.do was generating wrappers for installing in
/usr/bin, which extend sys.path and then import+run the right file.
This made "installed" redo work quite differently from running redo
inside its source tree. Instead, let's always generate the wrappers in
bin/, and not make anything executable except those wrappers.
Since we're generating wrappers anyway, let's actually auto-detect the
right version of python for the running system; distros can't seem to
agree on what to call their python2 binaries (sigh). We'll fill in the
right #! shebang lines. Since we're doing that, we can stop using
/usr/bin/env, which will a) make things slightly faster, and b) let us
use "python -S", which tells python not to load a bunch of extra crap
we're not using, thus improving startup times.
Annoyingly, we now have to build redo using minimal/do, then run the
tests using bin/redo. To make this less annoying, we add a toplevel
./do script that knows the right steps, and a Makefile (whee!) for
people who are used to typing 'make' and 'make test' and 'make clean'.
I attempted to fix this in commit c06d1fba40, but it was apparently
incomplete and not all cases were covered by tests.
Let's add a much more thorough test by going through every possible
combination and making sure redo-{sources,targets,ood} all work as
expected, that the "you modified it" warning does or does not show up
when expected, and that dependencies are rebuilt the number of times we
expect.
When we check dependencies and a previously-is_generated dependency
existed before, but no longer does, forget that it was is_generated.
This slightly improves the situation where as a project evolves, a file
that used to be a target gets removed, and then later is re-added as a
static source file. (It doesn't fix the other variant, where a file is
changed from target to source in a single atomic change, and is never
missing. That one will be trickier to handle.)
While adding a test for this behaviour, I discovered that redo-sources,
redo-targets, and redo-ood were reporting their output relative to
STARTDIR instead of relative to $PWD, so fix that too.
This makes them more reliable to parse. redo-log can parse each line,
format and print it, then recurse if necessary. This got a little ugly
because I wanted 'redo --raw-logs' to work, which we want to format the
output nicely, but not call redo-log.
(As a result, --raw-logs has a different meaning to redo and
redo-log, which is kinda dumb. I should fix that.)
As an added bonus, redo-log now handles indenting of recursive logs, so
if the build was a -> a/b -> a/b/c, and you look at the log for a/b, it
can still start at the top level indentation.
On systems where 'python' refers to python3, redo
failed to launch. All invocations of python have been
made explicitly python2 invocations. All tests pass
on an Arch Linux system as of this commit.
We already printed an error at build time, but added the broken
dependency anyway. If the .do script decided to succeed despite
redo-ifchange aborting, the target would be successfully created
and we'd end up with an infinite loop when running isdirty() later.
The result was still "correct", because python helpfully aborted
the infinite loop after the recursion got too deep. But let's
explicitly detect it and print a better error message.
(Thanks to Nils Dagsson Moskopp's redo-testcases repo for exposing this
problem. If you put a #!/bin/sh header on your .do script means you
need to run 'set -e' yourself if you want .do scripts to abort after an
error, which you almost always do, and those testcases don't, which
exposed this bug if you ran the tests twice.)
