build: for debug mode set `v8_optimized_debug` #23704

refack · 2018-10-16T22:32:04Z

This cuts down the debug CI run from ~1:20h to 50m

Second commit is a bugfix in the V8 gypfiles. Since common.gypi already defines target_defaults, the previous setup in gypfiles/toolchain.gypi (with setting inheritance) simply didn't work. A partial comparison of the results of the two state of this flag are available at https://www.diffchecker.com/Q340bUuJ

Under the assumption that debugging is more often focused on node core source.
This setting still compiles V8 with partial optimizations and with debug symbols, so it is still very much debuggable, but it is much faster.
Override is configurable by ./configure --v8-non-optimized-debug

So, to make sure:

This is only about the V8 part of the build, right?
It adds one of the -O flags? -Og?
It does not affect DCHECKs etc.?

I can’t really say anything about the second commit either way (and there’s no description about what is being fixed…)

refack · 2018-10-17T07:34:59Z

Yes only the V8 build
AFAICT it -O2
I'll verify
I'll elaborate on the fix. (tl;Dr with out it the flag did work at all, and V8 would be built with node's debug setting

refack · 2018-10-17T07:52:57Z

BTW this cuts down the debug CI run from ~1:20h to 50m
And I'm assuming on Windows it's closer to 50%

@addaleax Here is the diff https://www.diffchecker.com/Q340bUuJ
the flag removes -DENABLE_SLOW_DCHECKS (but keeps -DV8_ENABLE_CHECKS) and compiles with -O3.

addaleax · 2018-10-17T19:41:48Z

I’m not sure how I feel about ENABLE_SLOW_DCHECKS going away… could we define that manually? I have no idea how much slower it actually is, but at least in CI we’d like to have all the checks we can get, I think…?

refack · 2018-10-17T20:45:01Z

the gypfiles are under our responsibility, so defining it is no problem, but I my default is to trust the V8 team's preferences.

Maybe someone from @nodejs/v8 can give perspective on the importance of ENABLE_SLOW_DCHECKS

hashseed · 2018-10-18T05:40:01Z

SLOW_DCHECKS are mostly used for expensive consistency checks. I don't think you will catch many issues with this on CI, since most of these places are deep inside of V8. It might be nice to have a way to enable it though, to debug tricky issues.

refack · 2018-10-18T15:26:04Z

As they say, that's an excellent point (flips to next slide) ./configure --v8-non-optimized-debug

joyeecheung

I assume we can still use https://ci.nodejs.org/job/node-test-commit-custom-suites/ (with CONFIG_FLAGS=--non-optimized-debug) to try the slow checks in the CI after this?

If I am reading this correctly, this switches the configuration-based conditional to a variable-based conditional (v8_optimized_debug) to fix the bug? Can you paste the PR message into the commit message of the second commit, since it is a bit difficult to tell what the diff is doing due to all the indentations?

My goal is to get node-test-linux-linked-debug to consistently run < 60m.
If lands, I'll re-evaluate the list from 74c4bb7.

LGTM given that we can still enable slow DCHECKs whenever required.

Thanks, especially for all the work on the gypfiles, @refack.

@joyeecheung this is what I came up with:

build: configure default v8_optimized_debug

Under the assumption that debugging is more often focused on node core
source. This setting compiles V8 with only partial optimizations,
DCHECKS, and debug symbols, so it is still very much debuggable,
but it is much faster.

It does disable SLOW_DCHECKS, but at the advice of the V8 team, those
are more important for deep V8 debugging.

Override is configurable with `./configure --v8-non-optimized-debug`.
