Steven R. Loomis fb33b4ee33 build: configure return exit status from gyp
Previously, 'configure' would not return an exit status
if gyp blows up. This can be tested via:

    date >> node.gyp ; ./configure && echo A-OK

You will get "A-OK" even though gyp had failed.

Steven R. Loomis ac2857b12c build, i18n: improve Intl build, add "--with-intl"
The two main goals of this change are:
 - To make it easier to build the Intl option using ICU (particularly,
   using a newer ICU than v8/Chromium's version)
 - To enable a much smaller ICU build with only English support The goal
   here is to get node.js binaries built this way by default so that the
   Intl API can be used. Additional data can be added at execution time
   (see Readme and wiki)

More details are at https://github.com/joyent/node/pull/7719

In particular, this change adds the "--with-intl=" configure option to
provide more ways of building "Intl":
 - "full-icu" picks up an ICU from deps/icu
 - "small-icu" is similar, but builds only English
 - "system-icu" uses pkg-config to find an installed ICU
 - "none" does nothing (no Intl)

For Windows builds, the "full-icu" or "small-icu" options are added to
vcbuild.bat.

Note that the existing "--with-icu-path" option is not removed from
configure, but may not be used alongside the new option.

Wiki changes have already been made on
 https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Installation
and a new page created at
 https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Intl
(marked as provisional until this change lands.)

Summary of changes:

* README.md : doc updates

* .gitignore : added "deps/icu" as this is the location where ICU is
  unpacked to.

* Makefile : added the tools/icu/* files to cpplint, but excluded a
  problematic file.

* configure : added the "--with-intl" option mentioned above.
  Calculate at config time the list of ICU source files to use and data
  packaging options.

* node.gyp : add the new files src/node_i18n.cc/.h as well as ICU
  linkage.

* src/node.cc : add call into
  node::i18n::InitializeICUDirectory(icu_data_dir) as well as new
  --icu-data-dir option and NODE_ICU_DATA env variable to configure ICU
  data loading. This loading is only relevant in the "small"
  configuration.

* src/node_i18n.cc : new source file for the above Initialize..
  function, to setup ICU as needed.

* tools/icu : new directory with some tools needed for this build.

* tools/icu/icu-generic.gyp : new .gyp file that builds ICU in some new
  ways, both on unix/mac and windows.

* tools/icu/icu-system.gyp : new .gyp file to build node against a
  pkg-config detected ICU.

* tools/icu/icu_small.json : new config file for the "English-only" small
  build.

* tools/icu/icutrim.py : new tool for trimming down ICU data. Reads the
  above .json file.

* tools/icu/iculslocs.cc : new tool for repairing ICU data manifests
  after trim operation.

* tools/icu/no-op.cc : dummy file to force .gyp into using a C++ linker.

* vcbuild.bat : added small-icu and full-icu options, to call into
  configure.

* Fixed toolset dependencies, see
  https://github.com/joyent/node/pull/7719#issuecomment-54641687

Note that because of a bug in gyp {CC,CXX}_host must also be set.
Otherwise gcc/g++ will be used by default for part of the build.

Allow to create an executable with no external dynamic libraries, also the
ones from the system. This is somewhat dependent of the used C lib, for
example glibc has some internal dynamic libraries loaded by itself, but for
other ones like eglibc or dietlib, this would produce a true static linked
executable. This can be of interest for embebers or resource constraints
platforms, but the main reason for this is to allow to use a Javascript
file as Linux kernel 'init' on NodeOS.

This commit removes the simple/test-event-emitter-memory-leak test for
being unreliable with the new garbage collector: the memory pressure
exerted by the test case is too low for the garbage collector to kick
in.  It can be made to work again by limiting the heap size with the
--max_old_space_size=x flag but that won't be very reliable across
platforms and architectures.

Ben Noordhuis c4def505cb build: use zero overhead systemtap probes
Profiling suggested that on Linux sometimes over 10% of CPU time was
being spent inside the systemtap probe entry points in the binding
layer, even when the process was not actively being traced with the
`stap` tool.

That's why this commit makes it possible to use the *_ENABLED() macros
and bail out early when we're not being traced, reducing the overhead
of unused probes to (almost) zero.

Said macros were already being generated by `dtrace -h` but were not
usable because they rely on external definitions.  To remedy that, we
now generate the accompanying object files with `dtrace -G`.

This commit includes a change to libuv that has been landed upstream in
commit joyent/libuv@3c172ea.

Ben Noordhuis 9b3de60d35 build: remove --unsafe-optimizations flag
The previous commit removes our patch that builds V8 at -O2 rather
than -O3 so there is not much point in keeping the configure switch
around.

The reason it did so was to work around an assortment of compiler and
linker bugs. In particular, certain combinations of g++ and binutils
generate bad or no code when -ffunction-sections or -finline-functions
is enabled (which -O3 implicitly does.)

It was quite the problem back in the day because everyone and his dog
built from source. Now that we have prebuilt binaries and packages
available, there is no longer a pressing need to be so accommodating.

If you experience spurious (or possibly not so spurious) segmentation
faults after this commit, you need to upgrade your compiler/linker
toolchain.

Linus Mårtensson 5e4e8ec429 build: add android support
Resolves minor discrepancies between android and standard POSIX systems.
In addition, some configure parameters were added, and a helper-script
for android configuration. Ideally, this script should be merged into
the standard configure script.

To build for android, source the android-configure script with an NDK
path:

    source ./android-configure ~/android-ndk-r8d

This will create an android standalone toolchain and export the
necessary environment parameters.

After that, build as normal:

    make -j8

After the build, you should now have android-compatible NodeJS binaries.

Nathan Rajlich 99b737bd60 configure: respect the --dest-os flag consistently
Consider a user on his Mac, who wants to cross-compile for his Linux ARM device:

    ./configure --dest-cpu=arm --dest-os=linux

Before this patch, for example, DTrace probes would incorrectly attempt to be
enabled because the configure script is running on a MacOS machine, even though
we're trying to compile a binary for `linux`.

With this patch, the `--dest-os` flag is respected throughout the configure
script, thus leaving DTrace probes disabled in this cross-compiling scenario.

Ben Noordhuis 98b1ce91f6 build: fix mksnapshot crash on sunos
Unconditionally compile V8 with -fno-strict-aliasing on all platforms.

gcc 4.5.2 on sunos generates bad code when -fstrict-aliasing is enabled, which
undoubtedly means that there are more buggy versions of gcc out there.

-fstrict-aliasing does not give a significant performance boost so let's just
disable it.

Fixes #3736.
2012-07-18 23:26:00 +02:00
Ben Noordhuis c6bb361b84 build: partially fix configure on ARM
V8 on ARM requires that armv7 is set. We don't have a good way to detect the
CPU model right now so we pick a default and hope that it works okay for the
majority of people.

Non-scientific sampling - the ARM hardware I have lying around the house -
suggests that ARMv5 and ARMv6 are still most common so armv7=0 it is.

This obviously needs to be revisited sometime in the future.

Ben Noordhuis 202df30aab build: disable unsafe optimizations
Compile at -O2 and disable optimizations that trigger gcc bugs.

Some people still reported mksnapshot crashes after commit b40f813 ("build: fix
spurious mksnapshot crashes for good" - so much for that).

Average performance of the -O2 binary is on par with the -O3 binary. Variance
on the http_simple bytes/8 benchmark appears to be slightly greater but small
enough that the possibly of it being noise cannot be excluded.

The new binary very slightly but consistently outperforms the -O3 binary (by
about 0.5%) on the mostly CPU-bound bytes/102400 benchmark. That could be an
artifact of the system I benchmarked it on, a Core 2 Duo with a puny 32 kB of
L1 instruction cache. The smaller binary seems to play nicer with the cache.
2012-07-12 16:17:25 +02:00
Ben Noordhuis b40f813bab build: fix spurious mksnapshot crashes for good
A variety of gcc bugs made mksnapshot crash with either a segmentation fault
or a 'pure virtual method callled' run-time error.

After much wailing and gnashing of teeth I managed to deduce that the bugs
show up when:

  1. gcc 4.5.2 for i386-pc-solaris2.11 is used and -fstrict-aliasing is
     enabled, or

  2. gcc version 4.4.6 for x86_64-redhat-linux is used and
     -ffunction-sections -finline-functions at -O2 or higher is enabled

Therefore, disable -ffunction-sections and -fdata-sections unconditionally
and disable -fstrict-aliasing only on Solaris.

The -ffunction-sections and -fdata-sections switches were nonsense anyway
because we don't link with -Wl,--gc-sections.

Ben Noordhuis a0add91987 build: detect cc version with -dumpversion

Ben Noordhuis f78ce087ba build: handle output of localized gcc or clang
Before this commit, we used to scan the output of `$CC -v` for strings like

because those print (for example) "gcc versión x.y.z".

Use the output of `$CC --version` instead and only look at the first line.

Ben Noordhuis 74a8215a86 Revert support for isolates.
It was decided that the performance benefits that isolates offer (faster spin-up
times for worker processes, faster inter-worker communication, possibly a lower
memory footprint) are not actual bottlenecks for most people and do not outweigh
the potential stability issues and intrusive changes to the code base that
first-class support for isolates requires.

Hence, this commit backs out all isolates-related changes.

Good bye, isolates. We hardly knew ye.
