PKGBUILD review request: corecomponents

This is my first Arch package. I made a split package for my favorite toolkit. Feedback is welcome.

Here's the PKGBUILD:

Re: PKGBUILD review request: corecomponents

Looks fine to me.  Note the deleting, resymlinking etc that is done prevents reusing built files in the event of no changes to the source, but I don't know how much that matters.

Re: PKGBUILD review request: corecomponents

@willemw: You are right. Added the quotes.

@Allan: I cleaned it up a bit. I'm not sure what the common workflows with "makepkg" are. From the manual I guess that 'makepkg -ef' could be a thing and I made sure it does not rebuild if the source didn't change. Otherwise the build system of course depends on file times...

The changed PKGBUILD:

One thing I was wondering: Can I get the number of CPU cores the user wishes to use? Otherwise I'm scaling to max and I fear it might kill some smaller boards...

Re: PKGBUILD review request: corecomponents

If a small SBC board can overheat, then the user can set the maximum number of CPU cores used system-wide, for example: 

MAKEFLAGS="-j1"

in /etc/makepkg.conf.

Re: PKGBUILD review request: corecomponents

That setting is useful , but only affects software using autotools build system .

CoreComponents appears to use a custom build system.

Checking it indicates the shellscript at tools/build/bootstrap does the work and that calls g++ directly .

g++ -o ccbuild -pthread .modules-46002B89-$MACHINE-tools_build/.lump.o -fPIC -pie -O0 -L. -lCoreComponentsCore -lCoreComponentsGlob -lCoreComponentsMeta -Wl,--enable-new-dtags,-rpath='$ORIGIN',-rpath='$ORIGIN'/../lib,-rpath-link='$ORIGIN'

There are some references that adding -pipe will keep more cores busy, but you want the reverse.

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?

Re: PKGBUILD review request: corecomponents

An alternatvie prepare(), without if-statements, pushd/popd:

prepare() {
    rm -rf CoreComponents
    ln -s CoreComponents-$pkgver CoreComponents

    mkdir -p bootstrap build
    ln -sf "$srcdir"/{bootstrap,build}/ccbuild

    cd bootstrap
    ../CoreComponents-$pkgver/bootstrap
}

Re: PKGBUILD review request: corecomponents

@Lone_Wolf, @willemw: Thanks for pointing me to the right place. YES, MAKEFLAGS is used by many meta build systems. I simply added support to respect this environment variable to ccbuild.

@willemw: Thanks for simplifying my script magic. Actually the esoteric logic was there for an esoteric reason! First I didn't like to rerun bootstrap if there is already a bootstrapped version of ccbuild (4s is a lifetime!-). Secondly ccbuild actually builds itself afterwards and the build continues with optimized version of ccbuild. That is very non-obvious, but faster that way!

Besides that I'm really astonished how well that split package logic fits my needs. Arch really has something going for it (dead old Debian user saying this...).

Re: PKGBUILD review request: corecomponents

@Lone_Wolf, @willemw: Thanks for pointing me to the right place. YES, MAKEFLAGS is used by many meta build systems. I simply added support to respect this environment variable to ccbuild.

CFLAGS="-march=x86-64 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe -fno-plt -fexceptions \
        -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -Wformat -Werror=format-security \
        -fstack-clash-protection -fcf-protection"
CXXFLAGS="$CFLAGS -Wp,-D_GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS"
LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1,--sort-common,--as-needed,-z,relro,-z,now"
LTOFLAGS="-flto=auto"

Does ccbuild honor those flags ?
(they are copied from latest makepkg.conf as distributed with pacman 6.0.1-5 )

Re: PKGBUILD review request: corecomponents

That's a good point. Currently it only makes used of CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS. I will make sure it also handles LDFLAGS correctly in the next patch release...

Re: PKGBUILD review request: corecomponents

I pushed a new version 2.2.1 to make ccbuild handle LDFLAGS properly.

See:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/corecomponents_tools

The only issue I usually have with these linker flags used by the distributions is "-Wl,--no-as-needed" which messes up automatic library initialization in C++.
The library linked might not be needed, because non of its exported symbols are used, yet the library initialization created with anonymous C++ namespaces might still do smth. that is needed.
Anyways, otherwise it is great to have everything linked the same way...

Maybe add some tests by running "ccbuild -test-run ..." in check().

@willemw: Yes, I was thinking about that already. I've added a "check()" method, see the last AUR commit.
