- Build targeting 32-bit with travis
- Code in `before_install`/`after_success` was moved to travis.sh since it
provides greater flexibility for detecting the build matrix environment. This
improves the build speed since we now install only what's necessary.
- Now clint has a dedicated travis worker
Dependencies are now hosted in a github repository and this brings two advantages:
- Improved build time with travis since we no longer have to build each
dependency
- Less chance of build errors due to external servers being down since Github is
now the single point of failure
This adds a lua script which parses the contents of 'api.h'. After the api is
parsed into a metadata table. After that, it will generate:
- A msgpack blob for the metadata table. This msgpack object contains everything
scripting engines need to generate their own wrappers for the remote API.
- The `msgpack_rpc_dispatch` function, which takes care of validating msgpack
requests, converting arguments to C types and passing control to the
appropriate 'api.h' function. The result is then serialized back to msgpack
and returned to the client.
This approach was used because:
- It automatically modifies `msgpack_rpc_dispatch` to reflect API changes.
- Scripting engines that generate remote call wrappers using the msgpack
metadata will also adapt automatically to API changes
It appears the llvm.org/apt/ repository isn't always reliable. So let's
use the release tarball instead. Also, make using 3.4 conditional, so
we can use the clang 3.3 if things still manage to go awry in the
future. Note: using 3.3 means that we won't get leak detection.
I left the logic for using llvm.org/apt/, just in case we want try using
it again sometime.
This achieves several goals:
* Less reliance on scripts so we have better portability to Windows
(though we still have a ways to go for proper Windows support).
Luajit, luarocks, moonscript, and busted are all installed via CMake
now.
* Trying to make use of pkg-config to get the correct libraries. The
latest libuv is still broken in this regard, but we'll at least be in
a position to use it.
* Allow the use of Ninja or make. The former runs faster in many
environments, and automatically makes use of parallel builds.
This also allows for system installed dependencies--though not through
the Makefile just yet--and adds support for FreeBSD.
This also make us build libuv and luajit as static libraries only, since
we're only concerned about having static libraries for our bundled
dependencies.
- Valgrind configuration removed
- Fix errors reported by the undefined behavior sanitizer
- Travis will now run two build steps:
- A normal build of a shared library for unit testing(in parallel with gcc)
- A clang build with some sanitizers enabled for integration testing.
After these changes travis will run much faster, while providing valgrind-like
error detection.
Tests will be written using the [moonscript](http://moonscript.org/) language,
a lua 'dialect' that is whitespace-significant and has a syntax similar to
coffeescript. The test framework used is [busted](http://olivinelabs.com/busted/),
a bdd framework for lua/moonscript.
Luajit has a nice ffi module, which lets lua programs link shared libraries and
call it's functions without writing any C code.
To take advantage of this fact for testing C functions, a new target was added
to CMakeLists.txt, which compiles neovim as a shared library that is loaded by
the process running the tests.
This commit adds necessary code for downloading and installing a lua package
manager(luarocks) locally. It wasn't added as a subtree because there are quite
a few blobs in its source tree.
Now it checks for the existance of curl after
failing to find wget.
Note that I ended up removing the quotes around $url
when referencing it in the call to wget, since urls can't have spaces
anyways, and the correct quoting was messy.
To test, I did
rm -r .deps
make clean
make cmake
make
And it worked.
