Tools - mkbuildoptglobals refactoring & attempt to fix caching #9249
Conversation
Optional include for build-dir header to exclude it from core.a when no
build opts are created / used. Preventive reads before writes, too
Plus, missing change to makecorever.py doing read before write
Prefer to use --output-dir in scripts, tests/device *must* be
out-of-tree for caching to work properly (avoid changing core nested dirs)
Assume 'aggressive caching' is normal mode of operation, no need for special treatment
(can be checked by looking at .d files in the build dir)
Even CI uses arduino-cli ~/.cache/arduino/{sketch,core} for building
Allow sketches without globals.h to share core.a, rebuild otherwise
(same sketch cache is retained, core.a & .o's reused)
Drop manual logging in favour of 'import logging'. Arduino-CLI might still need
tweaks in debug mode, though. Output flushing does not always happen promptly.
Allow multiple entries for the same name, which are then merged.
Allow spaces between @ and the signature words.
Allow to use line right after signature.
Syntax warnings show relevant snippet from globals.h
bump global build options page in the menu hierarchy share pydoc blob as rst instead, reference on the main page note that aggressive caching opts are only for IDE 1.x

Also, ping @mhightower83 Main difference is .d dependency. Previously it was both CommonHFile.h & build-path/SKETCH globals.h. Now, it is either one or both. Sketches without globals.h should build as usual, no dependency means core.a is cached and no core files are depending on a different sketch build path every other build globals.h is also included only when build.opt includes it. Direct dependency on the sketch can be created via I kept previous 'aggressive caching' notes for posterity, since I am not sure how arduino-builder / arduino-cli worked (or did not work) before. Could also just remove it, since none of the notes actually apply to the current version of the script w/ PR - IDE 1.8.19 works fine, so is CLI 1.2.2 (CI runs it) |
