The intention was that errors would be printed for all output options
besides --exists and --atleast/exact/max-version, which are intended to
operate silently. Since want_exists is always set for these latter
options, we can simply use that as the condition and catch all other
output options automatically.
Freedesktop #54390 (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54390)
This provides the user with output matching the behavior of the code.
When multiple --atleast/exact/max-version options are supplied, only the
first will be honored.
The --atleast/exact/max-version help description implied that it would
return as --exists does. However, this would only occur if no other
output options were set.
Freedesktop #54389 (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54389)
This happened basically by accident before when "pkg-config foo" was run
because the code wouldn't find any options set and just fall through to
the end after processing the package arguments. However, it would act
differently in that Requires.private was only enabled with an explicit
--exists.
Currently, any output option (e.g., --version or --libs) will be set as
valid and what's output is at the mercy of the order of the output
handling code in main(). However, most combinations of output would make
no sense to be used together. For example, mixing --modversion and
--print-provides provides no way to differentiate between the output
from the options. Further, mixing --variable and --cflags currently
causes an error because there's no space separating the option outputs.
Instead, keep track of when an output option has been set and ignore
subsequent output options. There are currently two exceptions:
1. Any combination of --cflags* and --libs* are allowed.
2. Both --print-requires and --print-requires-private can be used
together as the user may just not care which is private.
Freedesktop #54391 (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54391)
Prior to commit 6ecf318, the resolved list of required packages was
built in an appending way where each package on the command line or in
Requires would appear in the list in the order they appeared. With
6ecf318, that list building was changed to prepending, which had a
subtle change on the resolved order.
For example, suppose package a has "Requires: b c d". Previously, the
list would be built as a->b->c->d by appending each as they were
encountered. Now, the list is built by walking all the way down the
dependency chain for each package in a depth first manner and prepending
packages while unwinding. This would result in the package ilst being
a->d->c->b. This same effect happens with the command line packages
where previously requesting packages x and y would create a package list
of x->y and now produces a list of y->x.
While technically these should be the same since there are no
interdependencies, it's causes flags to be output in different order
than previously in pkg-config. This can be seen most readily in the
check-gtk test.
Instead, operate on the package lists backwards when building the
resolved package list.
Makes the resolved package list be correctly serialized with each
package only appearing once. This provides more consistency between the
various flag outputs by ensuring that the flags from each package are
only grabbed once. This makes a difference since the duplicate flag
stripping happens from the end of the output (-l) or the beginning of
the output (-L/-I/other).
Often the expected results for the indirect dependency tests fell behind
because it's not a typical test scenario. However, since the results are
always the same as --static, they can just use the same results and the
test can be run conditionally without --static based on configuration.
The pkg-config testsuite has pretty good coverage of the implementation,
but it lacks a complex case that tests the interactions of non-trivial
.pc files. gtk is a very common package that meets this goal. This is a
snapshot from my F16 system, and it should provide a good way to see how
changes in the implementation regress a real world case.
pkg-config aggressively strips all duplicate arguments from the final
output it builds. This is not only and optimization, but it also allows
the flag ordering to work correctly when a package on the command line
is required by another on the command line.
The current tests are good at checking whether gathering the Cflags or
Libs from one or two packages works correctly, but they don't check the
sorting algorithm much at all. In particular, the interactions between
the package order in the Requires chain and in the path can make the
sorting of the flags subtly different.
Use a bitmask to keep track of what Libs/Cflags to output. This makes it
simple to handle any combination of --cflags and --libs option variants.
A lot of excess code is removed in the process as all the flags options
can now be carried around in a single variable.
Freedesktop #54388 (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54388)
Apparently g_hash_table_foreach doesn't check for NULL input, so make
sure we don't call it to print the variables if the variable list is
empty.
Freedesktop #54721
After the packages are parsed, pkg-config recurses through all the
required packages to generate one list. Before descending another level,
check to see if the package has already been handled and skip it. This
allows packages to require each other circularly by breaking the loop.
A test has been added resolving a two level deep circular dependency.
Freedesktop #7331
recursive_fill_list() is used to order Requires and Requires.private,
but it relied on fill_one_level() to make the list adjustments as it
descended the package tree. There were two issues with this approach:
1. It added all the dependencies from a package immediately rather than
descending through each dependency first. This made it sort of mix
between depth- and breadth-first resolving.
2. It did not add the requested package to the list, forcing the caller
to add it.
This simplifies the code so that it descends all the way to the least
dependent package and prepends them as it unwinds. This ensures the
ordering will be sorted from most dependent to least dependent package.
Ordering of -l flags is corrected by a later sorting, but this fixes
ordering on non-l flags. Add a new test specifically for non-l Libs
flags.
Freedesktop #34504
Make sure that the --*-only-* variants of --cflags and --libs do the
right thing. This should probably be extended to cover a chain of
packages to get the ordering right, but this is good for now.
Test the usage of -uninstalled packages with two .pc files: inst.pc and
inst-uninstalled.pc. pkg-config should prefer the -uninstalled version
unless PKG_CONFIG_DISABLE_UNINSTALLED is set. It should also use the
default value of pc_top_builddir unless PKG_CONFIG_TOP_BUILD_DIR is set.
Add a test for pkg-config's path handling. The first test covers
PKG_CONFIG_PATH, and the second covers the built-in path. For this one
we need to unset the PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR that normally is set during the
tests. Since we can't rely on the contents of the default path, we just
check to see that the built-in path matches what was specified in
configure. To do this, we need to add a bunch of variables to config.sh
so the variable resolves. These variables don't need to be exported,
though.
Add tests for checking the output of various options that print
information. For --list-all, a subdirectory with only two packages has
been added so that its output doesn't change when more test packages are
added to the check directory.
The run_test shell function was running pkg-config with arguments stored
in an environment variable. This has problems when trying to pass shell
special characters with the proper escaping. Instead, pass the arguments
to the test where they can maintain correct formatting through use of
the special variable "$@".
By specifying the pkg-config to use for testing from make, we can easily
control its path and add the .exe extension for Windows. It also allows
easy testing of another pkg-config from make:
make check TESTS_PKG_CONFIG=/usr/bin/pkg-config
Although the trick of finding a POSIX shell in the system PATH works
fine most of the time, it has some drawbacks.
* The commands must be copied into every test script.
* The scripts are always forced to re-execute themselves.
* There's no guarantee the sh found in `getconf PATH` is a POSIX shell
and there's no way to override it.
Move the handling of this shell to configure where we can detect it
once. This gives preference to bash and ksh since they're typically
POSIX compatible. It also uses the current PATH with the getconf PATH at
the end which should allow things to work on platforms where getconf
might not be available like mingw/msys.
By specifying the shell in TESTS_ENVIRONMENT, automake will run each
script with this shell and we can drop the re-exec dance.
Prior to pkg-config 0.24, --exists honored Requires and
Requires.private. This was regressed in commits 02d5ae3f and 669bfe2e,
which split the handling of Requires and Requires.private out more
correctly for other options. This adds exists to the group of options
that enable the Requires functionality.
Freedesktop #43149
Currently the check-missing passes the packages on the command line with
no options prior to running through --cflags/--libs, etc. Make this more
explicitly pass --exists since this is a much more common operation
performed from PKG_CHECK_MODULES.
The expected result of 0 when Requires or Requires.private is missing is
a regression from pre-0.24 pkg-config.
If only PKG_CONFIG_PATH is set when running the tests, we'll still pick
up packages from the system default path. By overriding that with
PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR and unsetting PKG_CONFIG_PATH, the path is forced to
the check directory.
The code for --exact/atleast/max-version was taking a different path
than the handling of operators like =/>=/<=. Make the long option
versions override the operators and take place during the standard
package checking stage. This also means that --print-errors is
respected.
Fixes Freedesktop #8653
Allow paths and other components to contain shell metacharacters, but
escape them on output. White space has to be escaped in the input
files using quotes or backslashes
Freedesktop.org #3571
* check/common, check/config.sh.in, check/Makefile.am,
configure.in: Make it possible to check for configure variables in
the check scripts. So far, only direct/indirect is exposed.
