[gentoo-dev] [PATCH eutils] Move remove_libtool_files() from autotools-utils for wider use.

[gentoo-dev] [PATCH eutils] Move remove_libtool_files() from autotools-utils for wider use.

[Michał Górny]

As autotools-utils exports phase functions, it will be better if
remove_libtool_files() functions would be somewhere else.

Don't pipe to read like that; it means the final command is in a subshell 
and "die is /not/ guaranteed to work correctly if called from a subshell 
environment."[1]

More seriously, the script doesn't actually get the correct filenames, 
despite being written to handle any filename.
eg:
$ touch $'  foo bar \n\t  '
$ while read -r -d '' f; do echo "'$f'"; done < <(find . -type f -print0)  
'./  foo bar'

You do it like this:

while read -rd ''; do
   f=$REPLY;
   ..
done < <(find "$D" -type f -name '*.la' -print0)

eg:
$ while read -rd ''; do f=$REPLY; echo "'$f'"; done < <(find . -type f -
print0)                                                                                           
'./  foo bar                                                                                     
          '

Or use: while IFS= read -rd '' f; do .. if you prefer.
See: help read # in a terminal.

It's called 'Process Substitution' if anyone wants to read about it in
man bash. The classic example with find is to get the list in an array:
arr=()
while read -rd ''; do
  arr+=("$REPLY")
done < <(find "$dir" -type f .. -print0)

(perhaps conditionally though that's usually better done within find
 which can later be handled on a per-file basis, or passed to:
foo "${arr[@]}"

..or if you just want to know whether there is a matching file:
if read -rd '' < <(find . -type f -print0); then
   something matched
else nothing did
fi

They're both things I came up with a few years ago when I was learning
from #bash, which you are in dire need of, based on reading git-2.eclass.

This doesn't actually apply in this case with -name '*.la' but it still
looks wrong, and implies one doesn't really grok the usage. *shrug*

Didn't we actually change that in the past? I think I'm recalling

"preen_libtool_files" might be better.  after all, you aren't just removing 
them all.

personally i don't think the internal @ $ 0-9 # variables should get braces 
unless absolutely necessary

the *) case is missing a ";;" ... yes, it's not required in the last case 
statement, but that's easy to bite people, so i prefer to make it explicit

> +	if [[ ! ${removing_all} ]]; then

i know you don't like specifying -z/-n but instead relying on the implicit -n, 
but i find it less clear, especially for people who aren't aware of the exact 
semantics

> +		for arg in $(find "${D}" -name '*.pc' -exec \

> +		done

let sed do the processing:
pc_libs=(
	$(find "${D}" -name '*.pc' \
		-exec sed -n -e '/^Libs:/{s|^[^:]*:||;s: :\n:g;p}' {} + | \
		sed -n '/^-l/{s:^-l:lib:;s:$:.la:;p}')
)

however, i'd point out that parsing these files directly doesn't actually work.  
some .pc files use variables in the filename which isn't expanded by using sed.  
thus your only recourse is to let pkg-config expand things for you.

$ grep '^Libs:.*-l[^ ]*[$]' /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/*.pc
/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/apr-1.pc:Libs: -L${libdir} -lapr-${APR_MAJOR_VERSION} ...
/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/gtk+-2.0.pc:Libs: -L${libdir} -lgtk-${target}-2.0

so maybe something like:
	local pc
	while read -rd '' pc ; do
		sed -e '/^Requires:/d' "${pc}" > "${T}/${pc##*/}"
		pc_libs+=(
			$($(tc-getPKG_CONFIG) --libs "${T}"/${pc##*/}" | \
				tr ' ' '\n' | \
				sed -n '/^-l/{s:^-l:lib:;s:$:.la:;p}')
		)
	done < <(find "${D}" -name '*.pc' -type f -print0)
	pc_libs=( $(printf '%s\n' "${pc_libs[@]}") | sort -u )

although, since we don't call die or anything, we can pipeline it to speed 
things up a bit:
	pc_libs=( $(
		tpc="${T}/.pc"
		find "${D}" -name '*.pc' -type f | \
		while read pc ; do
			sed -e '/^Requires:/d' "${pc}" > "${tpc}"
			$(tc-getPKG_CONFIG) --libs "${tpc}"
		done | tr ' ' '\n' | sort -u | \
		sed -n '/^-l/{s:^-l:lib:;s:$:.la:;p}'
		rm -f "${tpc}"
	) )

> +		local archivefile=${f/%.la/.a}

remove the suffix and it'll be faster i think:
	local archivefile="${f%.la}.a"

> +		[[ "${f}" != "${archivefile}" ]] || die 'regex sanity check failed'

no need to quote the ${f}, but eh

> +			rm -f "${archivefile}" || die

`rm -f` almost never fails.  in the edge cases where it does, you've got 
bigger problems.

unwrap these

No, it's perfectly valid. Moreover, it even explains what the function
actually does rather than your imagination.

But if we're not interested in keeping it compatible, I'd probably
start with making it '--all'.

Nope. My poor eyes are too weak to disband all those magical characters.

Right. I'll have to think about this a little.

Could you remind me, please, what performance-critical use of this

Hmm, it's indeed inconsistent.

Yep.

And that problem is good enough to die here.

Hmm, yes. I'd split it out to a sep var as I see you used it already

why are you so angry all the time ?  try being less confrontational for once.

going from the usage:
	remove_libtool_files [all]

that means this may be called in only two ways:
1)	remove_libtool_files
2)	remove_libtool_files all

yet, if you read the actual code, you'll see:
+	[[ ${#} -le 1 ]] || die "Invalid number of args to ${FUNCNAME}()"
+	if [[ ${#} -eq 1 ]]; then
+	...
+	fi

that means if more than 1 argument is passed, no error is thrown.  i thought 
you were intending to parse $@ further on because of it (hence the suggestion 
of updating the @USAGE), but it looks merely like your arg parsing is 
incorrect and needs fixing.  probably easiest by doing:
	case $#:$1 in
	0:'') ;;
	1:all) removing_all=1 ;;
	*) die "invalid usage" ;;
	esac

The exact opposite. If more than a single argument is passed, error is
thrown.

Just a little reverse logic in spirit of makefiles. But the case
variant would be probably more readable indeed.

should clarify: implicitly calls pkg-config when your package provides a .pc.
