Description youenn fablet 2015-10-02 09:25:08 PDT
For each new JS builtin file, there are a few edits that are needed in the build system, WebCoreJSClientData.h and WebCoreJSBuiltins.cpp.
It might be good if only editing the build system would be needed.
That would mean auto generating WebCoreJSBuiltins.cpp and the part of WebCoreJSClientData.h related to JS builtins.

Since this is in the WebCore namespace, it seems a little excessive to include the words “WebCore” in the name of the class.

After talking to Youenn we thought it was better to deambiguate the class names from the JSC ones and have the WebCore prefix in them. Anyway, we renamed them from WebCoreJS to WebCore.

Meaning the reverse, disambiguate the filenames, not the class names.
I will update the patch accordingly today or tomorrow if there is no objection.

Name changes
- PrivateWebCoreJSBuiltinFunctions -> JSBuiltinInternalFunctions
- WebCoreJSBuiltinFunctions -> JSBuiltinFunctions
- WebCoreJSClientData -> JSClientData

For the latter, JSVMClientData might have been somehow better.

Probably related to DerivedSources.make.
Can you try a clean build?

I don’t think it’s reasonable to ask everyone to do a clean build. Perhaps this would be fixed by touching the generate-js-builtins-allinone source file one more time? We should look at his build log to see if generate-js-builtins-allinone failed?

Actually it is not reasonable at all as you'd need a half built WebKit to build from scratch.

The problem happens at:

CpHeader /Users/calvaris/WebKit/WebKitBuild/Release/DerivedSources/WebCore/PrivateWebCoreJSBuiltins.h /Users/calvaris/WebKit/WebKitBuild/Release/WebCore.framework/Versions/A/PrivateHeaders/PrivateWebCoreJSBuilt\

Comment 20 youenn fablet 2015-10-07 23:42:01 PDT
The updated DerivedSources.make rules should hopefully cover the issue encountered by smfr. I played with the generated Builtins.h/.cpp files and they seem to be correctly regenerated when needed.

That said, last patch failed on mac due to a different issue from the one reported by smfr:
---------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "WebCore/generate-js-builtins-allinone", line 232, in <module>
    copytempfile(output_base + ".h")

    s1 = _sig(os.stat(f1))
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: './WebCoreJSBuiltins.h.tmp'
---------------------

This is somehow strange since the script should have generated that .h.tmp file a few lines before.
I added file flushing in the script just in case.

From IRC discussions, a header file was not generated, meaning that generate-js-builtins-allinone was probably not kicking in.
I am not exactly sure why since mac bots were fine.

I am now relanding an updated patch:
- Some changes in DerivedSources.make rules that hopefully will fix smfr issue.
- Renaming WebCoreJSClientData as JSVMClientData.
- Generating one file at a time in generate-js-builtins-allinone

> Re-opened since this is blocked by bug 149924

The following issue is now happening from time to time on Mac bots.

---------------------
Generating WebCore JS builtins wrapper files.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "WebCore/generate-js-builtins-allinone", line 127, in <module>
    copytempfile(output_base + ".cpp")
  File "WebCore/generate-js-builtins-allinone", line 74, in copytempfile
    os.remove(output + ".tmp")
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: './WebCoreJSBuiltins.cpp.tmp'
make: *** [WebCoreJSBuiltins.h] Error 1
---------------------

generate-js-builtins-allinone should be generating WebCoreJSBuiltins.cpp.tmp.
Then it should try to compare it with WebCoreJSBuiltins.cpp
If they are the same, then WebCoreJSBuiltins.cpp.tmp is deleted.
This step seemed to fail.
Comment 28 youenn fablet 2015-10-08 08:03:42 PDT
Another trace found in an EWS mac bot:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "WebCore/generate-js-builtins-allinone", line 69, in copytempfile

Comment 30 Darin Adler 2015-10-08 08:36:16 PDT
A comment about the WebCoreJSBuiltins.cpp.tmp strategy (not an explanation of the build failures, but a separate issue):

This technique of only touching a file if there is a change doesn’t work well with makefiles. If a build rule doesn’t regenerate the file then it will keep getting triggered over and over again each time you make, so it’s typically not practical to optimize the case where there is no change to have it not touch the output file.

The desire to optimize in this way comes up over and over again, so we’ve run into that problem over and over again. Maybe there’s some trick here used to avoid that problem?

Problem is probably again in DerivedSources.make
It seems generate-js-builtins-allinone is called twice, explaining the issue.

We do something similar in the Inspector protocol bindings generator, and it has worked pretty well once the bugs were flushed out. I'll comment specifically on the patch in a minute.
Comment 33 youenn fablet 2015-10-08 10:26:45 PDT
I may retry landing it tomorrow, but only the part that does not changing DerivedSources.make.
Basically that means upstreaming the refactoring, the files generated by generate-js-builtins-allinone but not the generate-js-builtins-allinone script.

This will allow starting working on WritableStream as well as reducing the patch that would upstream generate-js-builtins-allinone.

Please let me know whether the reduced patch would need a new review cycle.
Otherwise, I will land it directly tomorrow.

That sounds interesting.

Using CMake (with ccache bonus) would also help reducing this issue and maybe remove the need for this particular optimization.

I would recommend proceeding with the "manual" approach for the time being. I'm looking into making generate-js-builtins look more like the inspector generator (i.e., has regression tests, doesn't use .tmp pattern), but this will be a bit of work.
