Faux Variadics and VS2012

Sep 232012
 

While building WebKit using the latest incarnation of Visual Studio, VS2012, I’ve hit compiler errors in gtest that seemed overwhelming. Since the errors were clearly coming from a testing framework, I thought it was reasonable to wait until it was fixed. After all, WebKit did build, sans tests of course, and VS2012 is new.

I thought it interesting to find the root cause. It turned out to be a rather simple fix. And I learned a thing or two along the way. First, this is a known issue and a bug was reported to gtest back in early June. But I discovered the solution from StackOverflow first.

The Visual Studio 2012 C++ compiler adds a number of new C++11 features and improvements. Historically, when there was no variable template argument support in the language, implementations had to support many versions of the template class or function in question each with an increasing number of arguments. This resulted in a lot of tedious work, which was sometimes auto-generated by scripts macros, but also caused bloat in both source code and compiler time and resources. Worst of all is that it always limited the maximum number of arguments to the template in question. One had to manually create versions with more and more arguments to satisfy their needs. With Variadic templates all of that will be history. All except for compile time, perhaps. There is a certain overhead to adding language features after all.

A decision was made within the VS2012 C++ standard library team, a.k.a. Stephan T. Lavavej or STL as he’s also known, to change the implementation of variadic template headers as explained on the features page of the new compiler (scroll to “Faux variadics”). Astute developers will have figured out that this means that the compiler doesn’t support variadic templates yet. Otherwise, they’d need to reimplement the templates in question using the new and shiny variadic template feature and, well, we wouldn’t be having this discussion.

Unfortunately for us, the new compiler, while improved on many fronts including the standard library, seems to have regressed in terms of memory consumption. This forced the team to reduce the default number of template arguments to 5 instead of the previous 10. As a result, gtest fails to compile where it passes 6 or more parameters to std::tuple, for example. A workaround is supported, with the caveat that increasing the compiler memory limit -using the /Zm switch- might be necessary, in the form of a preprocessor macro: _VARIADIC_MAX.

After passing /D_VARIADIC_MAX=10 to the compiler, not only does gtest compile cleanly, but so does all of WebKit. The fix is to add to our patch a small section:

    if ($versionName eq "vs2012")
    {
        print $fh "\@echo  Increasing vardiadic limit to 10 (_VARIADIC_MAX=10).\r\n";
        $replace_string = "s/\\<PreprocessorDefinitions\\>_VARIADIC_MAX=10;/\\<PreprocessorDefinitions\\>/g"; # Delete _VARIADIC_MAX=10.
        print $fh "perl -p -i -e \"" . $replace_string . "\" \"" . $props_filename . "\"\r\n";
        $replace_string = "s/\\<PreprocessorDefinitions\\>/\\<PreprocessorDefinitions\\>_VARIADIC_MAX=10;/g"; # Add _VARIADIC_MAX=10.
        print $fh "perl -p -i -e \"" . $replace_string . "\" \"" . $props_filename . "\"\r\n";
    }

And we have a new patch that includes this fix and a couple of other improvements that builds WebKit with VS2010 and VS2012.

Building WebKit with VS2012

Sep 042012
 

I didn’t set out to build WebKit with VS2012, but that’s exactly what I ended up doing anyway…

I just built a new workstation from scratch. Clean as a baby’s memory, I thought it’d be fun to taste my own dog food. Starting with a newly installed Windows 7 64-bit and my previous walk-through I set to build WebKit.

Software Setup

  1. First, I downloaded the Cygwin downloader from here and ran it. Once complete, I ran setup.exe, gave it a target path and selected to install all packages.
  2. Next, I installed Visual Studio 2010. We really care about C++ tool chain. But other features may be safely installed.
  3. Windows SDK 7.1 was installed next. I chose to install the x64 version, of course. Again, we need only C++ for x64, but installing other stuff is fine.
  4. Now I could install Visual Studio 2010 SP1.
  5. And finally the fix to restore Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Compiler Update for the Windows SDK 7.1 (because the SDK installs pre-SP1 files).

Notes:

      Cygwin has warned that the latest version (1.7) is a major update over the previous one. This sounded more like a hint that things might break. As we’ll see, this was not a vain warning.
      The order for installing Visual Studio and updates is important.

Preparation

I decided to attempt first to build what I knew to be a good source (with a large project like this, things break fast,) so i started with r106194. After extracting the archive, I copied the environment setup script (aptly called vs2010-build-env.cmd) from the previous post. Reviewed the Cygwin source path to be valid (I had to update it because I’ve since replaced Tools folder with Bin). Running the vs2010-build-env.cmd script As Administrator, I got a bash shell.

First attempt failed with a new error:

$ build-webkit --wincairo

Cygwin’s Perl package is missing the HTTP/Date.pm module. CPAN to the rescue:

$ cpan HTTP::Date
CPAN.pm requires configuration, but most of it can be done automatically.
If you answer 'no' below, you will enter an interactive dialog for each
configuration option instead.

Would you like to configure as much as possible automatically? [yes]

[Snipped a lot of CPAN output]

Let’s try again:

$ build-webkit --wincairo

Died at Tools/Scripts/update-webkit-wincairo-libs line 40.
Died at /cygdrive/c/Cygwin/home/Ash/WebKit-r106194/Tools/Scripts/build-webkit line 561.

Apparently sometime since I built last in April and today Brent Fulgham’s mac.com page went dead. He is the maintainer and host of WinCairoRequirements. I had to either resurrect an old version from my backups or point the script to WinCairoRequirement’s new home. I chose to start with the latter. The updated script shows the new location of the archive to be http://dl.dropbox.com/u/39598926/WinCairoRequirements.zip. But replacing the old URL with the new one wouldn’t work. Apparently DropBox doesn’t report the last-modified date of a file, which is necessary to detect updates, so a workaround is also added in the relevant scripts. Seems that I need to move to newer source revision after all.

Before giving up on the old revision (which I know builds without errors) I decided to do manually what the update script does automatically. I copied the necessary WinCairoRequirement files from an old backup and commented out the perl update-webkit-wincairo-libs script.

# Updates a development environment to the new WebKitAuxiliaryLibrary

use strict;
use warnings;
use FindBin;

my $file = "WinCairoRequirements";
my $zipFile = "$file.zip"; 
my $winCairoLibsURL = "http://dl.dropbox.com/u/39598926/$zipFile";
my $command = "$FindBin::Bin/update-webkit-dependency";

#system("perl", $command, $winCairoLibsURL, ".") == 0 or die;

Now, I could see the build script complaining that it couldn’t find Visual Studio tools directory. It’s time to update the pdevenv script with support for VS2010. After replacing the pdevenv script with the one provided in my patch zip from the last post I built again. (Well, actually, I cheated: I have a newer and improved version of pdevenv script… more on that later.)

Elevated Mode

It’d be really nice if it were possible to request elevation automatically. There doesn’t seem to be a standard way of doing this, but Johannes Passing has created a tiny, but supremely useful, tool called Elevate to do just that.

Simply place the binary somewhere on your path (I have a special directory for similar utilities) and call pass the script file path as a parameter to it. There are many ways to use it. One is to create a single-line bat/cmd file with “Elevate cmd” in it. From the new prompt, one would call vs2010-build-env.cmd. Another solution is to place Elevate before the mklink calls in vs2010-build-env.cmd. The first has the advantage that you won’t be prompted more than once, but then again, that might elevate your risks as well.

Note: In the previous posts I suggested forcing Visual Studio to run as Administrator by changing the executable’s properties. However, this isn’t necessary, so long that we invoke it from an elevated shell. Because of (or thanks to, rather) the need for elevation to create symbolic link for Cygwin, there is no need to mess with Visual Studio binaries.

Back to WibKit.

Building

Running build-webkit --wincairo again throws a new error:

C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\Platforms\Win32\Microsoft.Cpp.Win32.Targets(153,5): error MSB6001: Invalid command line switch for "CL.exe". Item has already been added. Key in dictionary: 'tmp'  Key being added: 'TMP'

A quick search shows that we have duplicate entries in the environment variable. Sounds like another new Cygwin issue. Let’s see what our environment variables look like:

$ printenv | sort

[Snip]
TEMP=/tmp
temp=C:\Users\Ash\AppData\Local\Temp
TERM=cygwin
TMP=/tmp
tmp=C:\Users\Ash\AppData\Local\Temp
[Snip]

Seems that we do have duplicates after all. Previously Cygwin used to upper-case all environment variables, so duplicates that deferred in case only got eliminated. Cl seems to be doing something very similar, only it does detect the duplication and doesn’t silently overwrite one another. What is odd is that the lower-case versions seem to be inherited from Windows, where they are all-caps. Calling set in cmd shows all variable names to be in caps. I’m tempted to think that Cygwin is changing the Windows-inherited variables that conflict with its list to lower-case.

The following Perl snippet does the trick:

# Fix up any env variables that differ only in case.
foreach my $key (sort keys(%ENV)) {
    my $upper_key = uc($key);
    my $dup = $ENV{$upper_key};
    if ($dup && ($dup ne $ENV{$key}))
    {
        # Dups break CL.exe, so we need to remove either one. Since Cygwin seems to make Windows-inherited
        # entries lower-case, and since CL plays better with Windows paths, we remove the upper-case one.
        # There seems to be a bug in MSBuild.exe in that stays resident across builds, so environment
        # variables changes aren't applied to future builds unless it's killed to force respawning.
        print "Found duplicate env-var (rm $upper_key): \t$key = $ENV{$key}\t\t$upper_key = $dup\n";
        delete $ENV{$upper_key};
    }
}

…well, not quite. Turns out MSBuild.exe, which is a background process that visual studio employs for building, needs to be killed so it would run with our modified environment variables. Otherwise, whatever changes we make to the environment variables, MSBuild.exe will ignore and all CL.exe instances will inherit whatever MSBuild.exe has. This is certainly a bug in the design of MSBuild in that it doesn’t detect and update its environment variables. Instead, it just assumes that whatever it has on the first run will be valid on future runs. Clearly an unwarranted assumption.

Let’s try building again after killing MSBuild.exe and with the new script.

Success, At Last

Here is the complete output, with Quiet log-level, for reference:

========== Build: 34 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 up-to-date, 1 skipped ==========

===========================================================
 WebKit is now built (07m:41s).
 To run Safari with this newly-built code, use the
 "../../../Cygwin/home/Ash/WebKit-r106194/Tools/Scripts/run-safari" script.
===========================================================

Astute readers might notice that my previous build took 49m:07s while this one is only 07m:41s. This is thanks to my new 6-core i7 3930K @ 4.6 Ghz, 32 GB 1600 @ CL9 on 256 GB Samsung 830 SSD. The previous build was on Core 2 Quad 9300 @ 2.7 Ghz, 4 GB 800 @ CL5 on 150 GB WD VelociRaptor @ 10,000 (with RamDisk). That’s an almost 6.5x difference.

The dos2unix entries are auto-conversion of Bash files that often don’t have correct line-ending, which used to break the build on some Cygwin Bash instances. This takes a couple of extra seconds but ensures that no line-ending discrepancy exists.

Latest Revision

Now it’s time to try the latest revision. It’s interesting to see what difference do 20,000 revisions and almost 1000 new files make. After extracting the archive, I simply copied the contents of my patch (2 files) overwriting pdevenv. I made sure that no instance of MSBuild.exe was running.

I might have been a bit overoptimistic, but I really was hoping it’d build. There seems to be missing source files. First assumption is that I got unlucky with the revision. After building over half a dozen revisions I was convinced it wasn’t a fluke. I checked the repository and sure enough the file is not there. Digging further I found a rather old version of the file. Circa April 2011. Further investigations showed that the file in question is a port-specific implementation. Chromium has its own implementation. But this version is the default. My best explanation is that the last major port on Windows was Safari, and they stopped supporting Windows. So that leaves Chromium and they already have a specialized implementation in their port-specific folder/project. Whatever the case, I restored the last implementation I could find, which doesn’t do anything really.

Placing the missing files gives us a successful build.

Visual Studio 2012

I thought it’d be fun to try and see how VS2012 would fare. I was encouraged after reading that the latest version of the popular IDE finally creates almost backwards compatible solution and project files. I say almost because, well, it’s not perfect. Another minor push came from the fact that Windows 8 SDK is included and DirectX SDK as well. That meant less setup hassle.

First Impressions: A Mini Review

Visual Studio certainly warrants a full review in its own right, but a quick overview will do here. First thing to notice was that it loaded very swiftly. Projects loaded faster as well. Mind you, I also thought it must be my new hardware at work. But VS2010 doesn’t load nearly as fast. Next was a small disappointment as I stared at the drab looking GUI. It was ’97 all over again. Everything is grey. Icons are grey too. Are we that desensitized by colors that we want to do away with them? I found finding commands in the menus difficult as my eyes were struggling to find anything familiar at sight without reading each entry.

First thing I did was to go to the Options dialog. To my sweet surprise, there is a dark theme! I almost exclusively use dark themes in my editors for lesser eye strain. The high contrast of black-on-white isn’t very relaxing to the eye nerves, especially after long hours. Dark themes help by lowering the contrast. Native support of dark themes is very important because some plugins assumed that the background was always light-colored. So their default choices of text color has been dark colors. This can be fixed in most cases, but some text colors aren’t configurable. I immediately switched to dark theme expecting a restart, to my surprise it instantly redrew the whole application without a single blemish. VS2010 couldn’t even change the background color of its Solution window (it wasn’t ported from Win32 to WPF).

Next I noticed that (finally) variables are highlighted when the cursor is placed on them. This has been in Notepad++ for ages. VS2012 chose to support highlighting variables within the current context. So that also means only variables are highlighted. One can’t highlight all new keywords, for example, to see all allocations at a glance. Still, it’s an improvement.

Things aren’t perfect, of course. There is always a catch. After running VS2012 on a project in my RamDisk I noticed that Intellisense stopped working. With it, highlighting went away. I tried everything and the only change is RamDisk. When the project is loaded from RamDisk, Intellisense files aren’t created or created with a minimal size. Visual Studio complains upon closing (and of course upon invoking any Intellisense comand) that it couldn’t load Intellisense files. Obviously a bug.

Another sweet feature that I noticed right off the bat is the “quick preview” (as I call it) feature. Basically, selecting any file shows the file in a single tab to the far right which is recycled. Double click to open a permanent tab or click on the “Keep Open” button on the temporary one. This works best from the Find window where one can quickly go through the found lines by the cursor and preview the lines in context without cluttering the tabs.

Btw, notice the solution loaded is VS2010 converted. It didn’t need any modifications to load (it loaded silently). I don’t know if incompatible changes are made when project settings are changed.

Building with VS2012

It was really going great for the longest time, until it didn’t. MIDL found an indefensible statement:

9>------ Build started: Project: WebKitGUID, Configuration: Release_Cairo_CFLite Win32 ------

The MIDL version of the SDK that ships with VS2012 doesn’t like forward declaring without defining. I replaced the offending typedef with a simpler forward declaration. To automate the modification, I updated pdevenv with the appropriate Perl scripts.

    # Patch DOMPrivate.idl.
    print $fh "\@echo Patching DOMPrivate.idl...\r\n";
    my $idl_filename = $webkitRootPath . "\\Source\\WebKit\\win\\Interfaces\\DOMPrivate.idl";
    chomp($idl_filename = `cygpath -w -a '$idl_filename'`);
    my $replace_string = "s/typedef struct WebFontDescription WebFontDescription/struct WebFontDescription/g";
    print $fh "perl -p -i -e \"" . $replace_string . "\" \"" . $idl_filename . "\"\r\n";
    $replace_string = "s/\(WebFontDescription\\* webFontDescription/\(struct WebFontDescription\\* webFontDescription/g";
    print $fh "perl -p -i -e \"" . $replace_string . "\" \"" . $idl_filename . "\"\r\n";

Next set of errors came from the Linker. Missing functions. A quick look reminded me of VS2010 project conversion errors. In previous version of Visual Studio the project files had an entry per file and nested within that entry were the configuration-specific nodes. In VS2010 and VS2012 this has changed to a tool-specific node that has a file as its attribute. Because ignored files in the original VS2005 project had their tool set to custom, upon conversion VS2010 and VS2012 have decided that the relevant files are custom files, although they are C++ sources. To add insult to injury, VS2012 has changed the custom tool tag-name from CustomBuildStep to CustomBuild.

    $replace_string = "undef \$/; s/\\<CustomBuild(.*?)\\.cpp(.*?)CustomBuild\\>/\\<ClCompile\$1\\.cpp\$2ClCompile\\>/msgi";
    print $fh "perl -0pi -e \"" . $replace_string . "\" \"" . $webcore_filename . "\"\r\n";

Next the complaints came from Tuple. This is most odd because one would expect newer versions of the compiler to have better support of the standard, not worse.

Anyway, noticing that this was indeed test project, and the errors (too many to list here) coming from gtest, I thought it fair to call it a day and let Google worry about bringing gtest up to speed with VS2012. As far as I was concerned, I build WebKit on VS2012, sans the tests, of course.

What’s Next?

It’d be great if all the test projects also compiled. I’m sure in time this will get fixed. Another thing that I’d like to tackle is building the now-discontinued CoreGraphics on Windows. I expect this to be more of a challenge as the port rots. Still, it’s interesting. Finally, I’ll start maintaining a fork of WebKit where these fixes could be applied (yes, I tried, it’s really hard to get any unsupported code into the trunk).

Conclusion (and Patch)

Building WebKit is always challenging (and fun). Building the latest revision from scratch wasn’t trivial, but previous experience helped quite a bit. Moving to VS2012 wasn’t a breeze either, but it wasn’t nearly as hard as getting the first successful build with VS2010. Now, armed with this walk-through, one only needs to download the patch and extract it in the root of a recent revisions of a WebKit source tree for an easy and (hopefully) successful build.

Don’t shy from sharing your experience. Happy Hacking.
