[gentoo-dev] [PATCHES] x86 multilib flags, ver. 2

[gentoo-dev] [PATCHES] x86 multilib flags, ver. 2

[Michał Górny]

Hello,

Following all the suggestions from Alexis Ballier, I have reworked
the code to remove multiple points of failure. I have also rebased it
on the common multilib-build eclass concept, and updated amd64
no-multilib & x86 profiles as well.

Key points:

1. The list of available flags and corresponding ABIs is now stored
   in a single variable. Adding a new ABI is as simple as adding
   a value to that variable (+ profiles).

2. All ABIs are validated against $(get_all_abis) list. This guarantees
   that we check only the flags proper for the arch.

3. The USE_EXPAND is visible only on amd64 multilib profile. However,
   it is also available on non-multilib amd64 & x86, with all flags
   masked except for the default one which is force-enabled.

The last point means that x86 binary packages (skype) can have
dependencies as simple as:

   dev-libs/libfoo[abi_x86_32]

which would be valid both for amd64 multilib & x86.

[gentoo-dev] [PATCH 1/5] Introduce a common function to obtain enabled ABIs.

[Michał Górny]

It will become especially useful when more ABI flags are introduced.

[gentoo-dev] [PATCH 2/5] Use explicit abi_* flags to select multilib targets.

[Michał Górny]

This time, following suggestions from Alexis Ballier, the complete list
of USE flags and corresponding ABIs is stored in a single variable.
I have removed the arch hack and all selected ABIs are validated against
$(get_all_abis) from multilib.eclass.

Very nice work; +1 on everything, it seems we'll finally get serious
and official multilib support after all those years.
I'm looking forward to get this in three :)

Just one thing here: I may have missed something, but how do you ensure
the DEFAULT_ABI is last in the list ? It seems to me you rely on the
order of _MULTILIB_FLAGS. I'd just skip it explicitly (if the
corresponding useflag is enabled) and print DEFAULT_ABI at the end to be
on the safe side, if it has been skipped.

Alexis.

I am writing some kind of spec/summary right now.

That seems like a reasonable idea. I'd have a second and third look
at the function, and see if it wouldn't be better to just iterate over
$(get_all_abis) in the outer loop.

Re: [gentoo-dev] [PATCH 2/5] Use explicit abi_* flags to select multilib targets.

[Michał Górny]

Alexis,

Following your remark, I have redesigned the loop to use MULTILIB_ABIS
list to order the ABIs. This should ensure the most valid replacement
order.

Additionally, I have added an assertion to ensure that DEFAULT_ABI comes
last in MULTILIB_ABIS list.

[gentoo-dev] [PATCH 1/2] Order ABIs following MULTILIB_ABIS.

[Michał Górny]

This ensures that profile order is preserved.

Great, that's better than what I had thought about

I'm not sure it is a good idea: it is certainly safe, but this removes
the flexibility not to build for the DEFAULT_ABI. Not sure if it's
sane to do so or if there is any usecase either, but since get_all_abis
ensures us DEFAULT_ABI is last I don't see a need to double check it
here.

Well, you are probably right. No point in being more strict than
multilib.eclass.

For example, net-im/skype would depend on:

Lets see, if i understand your plan right, without reading all your diffs:

1. you currently support amd64/multilib and show same flags on
amd64/no-multilib and x86 to avoid duplicating the dependency list? If
yes, will this be extended to general support for all multilib arches,
only on request for specific arches or not at all?

2. How do you handle other abi-specific files like headers or binaries
and cases like binaries with abi-specific content? Is it possible to
preserve them for all requested abis or to preserve them for an
non-default abi?

Yes and no. I do force the flags to enabled but they are hidden
from the end-user using USE_EXPAND.

I don't mind supporting any arch which likes to enable multilib. It's
mostly about adding the flags to proper profiles and to the list
in the eclass. But I'd rather rely on arch teams to decide on how to
proceed with the particular arches.

The idea is that all non-libdir stuff shall be handled properly
by ebuilds. The eclass is meant to support the most common and simplest
case, proper and efficient handling of deviations can't be controlled
centrally.
