first, "apt install gcovr lcov" as new prerequisites
then run:
./waf configure --enable-gcov
./waf build --lcov-report
and after much waiting review the report in HTML format with your preferred browser eg:
firefox reports/lcov-report/index.html
This allows to use the board option when building as long as it has been configured before
As we don't want to force configuration of all boards each single time, auto-configuration support now has to be done per-board
This is the --localstatedir that is found on other
buildsystems/programs + the package directory. We could provide a
--localstatedir instead to be similar to the others, but I thought it
would be too confusing for the help message.
In the end the build time is always almost the same, but it's a pain to
change one header and have it check the world. CI continues to use the
check so we can get any mistake before merging.
The original proposal was to add this functionality to the --upload option, but
it turns out that --upload seems something slightly different from what the
functionality added with patch does.
The issue motivating this patch is at
https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot/issues/6283
Command for a local installation under BLD/install, where BLD is the build
variant. This will be useful for commands that depends on the install command.
That makes more sense, since that module is supposed to have basic Ardupilot
specific features. The root wscript should be a mere user of those features.
That way we avoid recompiling source files that don't depend on vehicles.
Change notes:
- UTILITY_SOURCE_EXTS: moved to ap_library
- Task generators indexes: ap_library handles that now and in a better way
- Use of AP_STLIB_FEATURES: it doesn't make sense anymore, since the stlib
taskgen has empty source list
- Flags and defines: passed down to ap_library through AP_LIBRARIES_OBJECTS_KW
- Set use='mavlink' in AP_LIBRARIES_OBJECTS_KW instead of calls to
bld.ap_stlib().
Otherwise, a call like `waf configure --board <foo> <command1>` will make
`<command1>` run on wrong variant if there was a different variant configured
previously, or an empty variant if the project is "distcleaned".
That makes it easier see what callbacks are or not being added and the order
they are executed. While at it, don't add build summary callback when in a
check command.
This allows to completely disable the tests. Even the gtest submodule is
not checked out allowing integration on build servers without needing to
download one more submodule.
This is different from the --notests flag. The latter only disables
executing the tests, but always use the submodule.
Waf's autoconfig feature works only for wscripts loaded by the recurse()
function. This patch extends that functionality to all loaded modules, which
includes Waf tools.
This is also needed while compiling libgtest because it's using our
cmath wrapper header. Otherwise it will end up entering the
"ifndef WAF_BUILD" part and fail to compile on gcc 5.3.1.
Setting the "help" keyword argument may not fit in one line sometimes. This
patch adds the following convention to calls to add_option() in order to
address that issue in a better way:
1) The "help" keyword must always be the last argument to be passed.
2) If the help string is a literal string or a literal string with some
operation (e.g. "%" operator) and setting the "help" keyword in the code
doesn't fit a line (considering the limit of characters in a line), then
the help string must be a triple-quoted string. That has the advantage of
not having to have several "+" operations for long help strings. In that
case, the help message must start on the next line and the closing
triple-quotes must be on a separate line together with the closing
parenthesis.
The requirement (1) makes it easier to make the style exception in (2)
acceptable.
The path for the "non-board" environment cache file was hard-coded, which was
causing the error below when the build was configured with the --out option
value different from the default path.

In several places we use functions like asprintf() that are only
available in libc when _GNU_SOURCE is defined. Always define _GNU_SOURCE
since we always want to use them.
This fixes the build on Windows using cygwin.
The usual name for this header is config.h, but that's already used by
vehicles. Using uppercase could give the impression this is a
file to be modified, but it's not. Use lowercase instead.
Use program group name instead of task generator name. That way all programs
belonging to a product are built. That will be the case for different frames
for copter.
Without this patch, if nodes that don't yet exist in the filesystem in
bld.bldnode were created before calls to this function, they'll be removed from
the tree in memory because "*" is passed to ant_glob() and the "remove" keyword
argument defaults to True.
In the future, gbenchmark will be build using a cmake waf tool, which will
require cmake to be installed. We add this option so that users without cmake
can continue use the build system with no problems.
That allows options being declared where they're really used. Additionally, we
load ardupilotwaf after the other tools so that we can create our groups after
all non-ardupilot option groups are created. That makes our groups appear as
the last ones in the help message, which makes it easier to locate them.
That is useful when the user wants to build with one or more submodules at a
specific revision. In case of a developer, that is useful for when a submodule
is in modification process and she needs to (constantly) test the build.
With this change, there's no need to verify if the submodule is initialized,
because the submodules in GIT_SUBMODULES are automatically initialized and
updated if necessary before the build tasks are performed.
One downside of this change is that Google Benchmark configuration is now done
only during build. However that is minor, since now there are easy ways to
separately build different targets and program groups, so that a fail in
benchmark build doesn't really affect the other targets.
We define three build groups and set post_mode as POST_LAZY, which makes one
group be posted only after the previous one. That enables us to correctly
define dynamic sources with submodules and generators that may or may not
depend on submodules (e.g. mavgen - this one depends on mavlink submodule).
The groups are defined below, in that order:
1. git_submodules: contains taskgens that initialize and update submodules.
2. dynamic_sources: contains taskgens that generate sources used by the build.
3. build: contains the normal taskgens.
That makes the code cleaner and better readable. Futhermore, it's easier to add
a pattern for recursion.
Additionally, this commit remove Tools from the exclusion list as that is not
necessary.
