#2344 a bug in codegen causes diffs in generated code when switching branches
Closed: Fixed None Opened 9 years ago by jhrozek.

When branches are switched, the !InfoPipe generated code is re-generated and moved around. This causes annoying diffs for developers.


Do you have any particular reproducer? Can it be only an issue of a transition period before all our branches adapts recent codegen versions?

For me, switching branches is usually enough.

Part of the problem is that git doesn't preserve timestamps for the files it stores (git doesn't seem to care about timestamps at all, not even for $ git diff #). So depending on the order the files are stored by a git clone in the current filesystem the files are rebuild or not. A rebase is likely causing the same problem.

Suggested fix:

  • Move the generated sources to objdir
  • Add SystemV/BSD .WAIT statement to Makefile to force a specific sequence during parallel build, e.g. foo: bar1 .WAIT bar2 to ensure that target bar1 is build before target bar2.
  • If .WAIT is not available use GNU syntax :| (see http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html#Prerequisite-Types) with sufficient warning (and curse) that this is not even closely related to the term "portability".

Gross hack which doesn't work because it wants .deps/ dirs in src/:

diff --git a/Makefile.am b/Makefile.am
index 6707711..576c2d9 100644
--- a/Makefile.am
+++ b/Makefile.am

So the next step would be to move the generated sources to the build directory... but as said on IRC it worries me that it doesn't work properly with just a plain all-recursive: | $(CODEGEN_CODE) ... ;-(
