This allows one to set a semi-colon separated list of regular
expressions in the environment variable PX4_NO_OPTIMIZATION
to control which (cmake generated) targets should be compiled
without optimization.
Suppressing optimization can be necessary for debugging in
a debugger, especially when trying to step through the code
or needing to print variables that otherwise are optimized out.
EXAMPLE
export PX4_NO_OPTIMIZATION="px4;^modules__uORB;^modules__systemlib$"
will result in the following messages during cmake configuration:
[...]
-- Disabling optimization for target 'platforms__posix__px4_layer'
because it matches the regexp 'px4' in env var PX4_NO_OPTIMIZATION
-- Disabling optimization for target 'modules__systemlib' because it
matches the regexp '^modules__systemlib$' in env var PX4_NO_OPTIMIZATION
-- Disabling optimization for target 'modules__uORB' because it matches
the regexp '^modules__uORB' in env var PX4_NO_OPTIMIZATION
-- Disabling optimization for target 'examples__px4_simple_app' because
it matches the regexp 'px4' in env var PX4_NO_OPTIMIZATION
-- Disabling optimization for target 'modules__uORB__uORB_tests' because
it matches the regexp '^modules__uORB' in env var PX4_NO_OPTIMIZATION
-- Disabling optimization for target 'px4' because it matches the regexp
'px4' in env var PX4_NO_OPTIMIZATION
Note that a list of all (currently used) target names can be printed
with the following command line from within the required build directory:
find . -wholename '*/CMakeFiles/*.dir/flags.make' | xargs dirname | xargs basename -a | sort -u | sed -e 's/.dir$//'
While the config_sitl_rcS_dir is used more extensively (and actually
only depending on the base cmake target), the variables
config_sitl_viewer and config_sitl_debugger are just used to be
passed on for the run_config target; config_sitl_debugger is even
*always* 'disable'. Hence, they don't really need to be cached
(INTERNAL or not). Before this patch FILEPATH was used instead
of INTERNAL, but I doubt very much that that was intended. That
only makes sense when cmake-gui would be used and then would pop-up
a file browser to let the user pick a file (while really they
need to pick a directory, so it's wrong either way).
The ONLY reason caching would be used is when a developer edits
the build_posix_sitl_*/CMakeCache.txt files, changes these values
and then runs cmake in the build directory again, now overriding
the values intended here. Nevertheless, I left in the caching.
The main change in this commit (that theoretically has no real effect)
is that I removed the duplicated maintenance of
posix_sitl_broadcast.cmake. When that file was added, it was an
exact copy of posix_sitl_default.cmake and is since not always
maintained to remain the same. I don't think that difference is
in anyway relevant for the broadcasting part though.
Note that I think that something like that also holds for the
posix_sitl_replay.cmake; it would be a lot better - maintenance-wise
- when it was just derived from (or the same as) posix_sitl_default,
I think.
Doesn't really do anything, but while working on understanding
things I did this cleanup, making the Makefile a lot shorter
and more flexible for future changes ;).
Over time I made a few changes unrelated to what I'm really working on.
These changes are hereby committed first. The bug fixes are related to
what I'm doing in that I need them to be fixed for future commits.
Tools/sitl_run.sh: rename label to rcS_dir and fix usage help.
cmake/common/px4_base.cmake: Remove the check on OUT_UNPARSED_ARGUMENTS,
and a few typos and indentation issues.
cmake/configs/posix_sitl_replay.cmake: Set the correct variable
(config_sitl_rcS_dir) to the correct directory.
cmake/nuttx/px4_impl_nuttx.cmake: typos and indentation issues,
and removal of a redundant FORCE (INTERNAL implies FORCE).
cmake/posix/px4_impl_posix.cmake: typos and indentation issues.
cmake/qurt/px4_impl_qurt.cmake: typos and indentation issues.
src/modules/mavlink/mavlink_ftp.cpp : possible strict-aliasing breakage.
NOTES
The second argument passed to sitl_run.sh is the value of
config_sitl_rcS_dir. This fact is missing from the usage help.
I renamed 'label' to 'rcS_dir' to better reflect this.
Also, for the 'replay' config the wrong variable was set causing
the call to sitl_run.sh to skip an argument and fail (ie the
debugger was passed as rcS_dir and so on).
The check on OUT_UNPARSED_ARGUMENTS in px4_parse_function_args
basically causes every passed IN variable to be REQUIRED and is
therefore a bug. The test for the presence of the REQUIRED arguments
follows directly after and is sufficient for this job. This bug went
unnoticed because currently every argument to OPTIONS, ONE_VALUE,
and MULTI_VALUE is actually passed to the function(s) calling
px4_parse_function_args (them being REQUIRED or not).
The changes in mavlink_ftp.cpp are to avoid a possible aliasing bug
and (mostly) to avoid the compiler warning/error: dereferencing type-
punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules [-Werror=strict-aliasing].
GCC 6.1.1 output:
../src/modules/fw_att_control/fw_att_control_main.cpp:884:41: error:
implicit conversion from ‘float’ to ‘double’ to match other operand of
binary expression [-Werror=double-promotion]
It is useful to run jmavsim separately, for example when debugging mainapp
separately, or running some other external tool on mainapp (like heap
analysis)
