[Cocci] Compiling latest coccinelle with opensuse

[Cocci] Compiling latest coccinelle with opensuse

[Luis R. Rodriguez]

I'm trying to build coccinelle to use on opensuse for a cocci file
with iteration support. I'm using the latest and greatest (inria git).

After ./autogen and and then configuring with --enable-release:

configure flags:  --enable-release
findlib:          /usr/bin/ocamlfind (an actual version is strongly recommended)
menhir:           /usr/local/bin//menhir (should be an optional tool)
menhirLib module: yes (for local package use --disable-menhirLib)

ocaml scripting:  yes (overridable with --enable-ocaml)
python scripting: yes (overridable with --enable-python)
pycaml module:    local (for local package use --disable-pycaml)

pcre regexes:     local (overridable with --enable-pcre-syntax)
pcre module:      local (for local package use --disable-pcre)
pcre library:     yes (requires the dev version of libpcre)

release config:   yes (strongly recommended to be 'yes', overridable
with --enable-release)
optimized spatch: yes (overridable with --disable-opt)

My build fails with:

/usr/bin/ocamlopt.opt -unsafe -I ../commons -I ../commons/ocamlextra
-I ../globals -I /usr/lib64/ocaml/menhirLib -c parser_cocci_menhir.ml

If I try to disable ocaml scripting with:

./configure --enable-release --disable-ocaml

My build still fails with:

/usr/bin/ocamlopt.opt -unsafe -I ../commons -I ../commons/ocamlextra
-I ../globals -I /usr/lib64/ocaml/menhirLib -c parser_cocci_menhir.ml
File "parser_cocci_menhir.ml", line 1:

If I disable good 'ol mehir as well with:

./configure --enable-release --disable-ocaml --disable-menhirLib

it does not seem to disable menhir:

I checked configure.ac but can't see why disabling menhirLib won't work.

If I nuke my local menhir, then:

./configure --enable-release --disable-ocaml

Try make clean, or make distclean.  If you had a build without ocaml, you 
may have some old code lying around.

Instead of 'make clean' or 'make distclean' I do:

git clean -f -x -d

Its faster than 'make clean' but caution: this will delete *anything*
from your tree that is *not* in a git record, so watch out. Only try
this on a repo you don't care about.

Even if I try make distclean things still fail, as suspected. I've
tried all combination all around with distclean, clean etc.

mcgrof at ergon ~/devel/coccinelle (git::master)$ rpm -qa | grep ocaml

Ah, OK sorry, it may have nothing to do with Coccinelle.  How did you 
install menhir?  And how did you install ocaml?  It looks like there may 
be files generated by different versions of ocaml in your lib64 directory.

Could you try the following:

file /usr/lib64/ocaml/obj.cmi
file /usr/lib64/ocaml/menhirLib/menhirLib.cmi

It should tell you what version of ocaml generated the files.

[Cocci] Compiling latest coccinelle with opensuse

[Julia Lawall]

I doubt it will help much, but you can get rid of the need to link with 
menhirLib by removing the option --table in parsing_cocci/Makefile.  You 
will end up with a .ml file of over 100 000 lines, which may cause other 
problems for the ocaml compiler.

OK, so it looks like the problem is just postponed.  If you feel 
adventurous, just remove all references to menhirLib in the Coccinelle 
makefiles.  It should not be needed.

Not sure if I've done it right but:

http://drvbp1.linux-foundation.org/~mcgrof/coccinelle/hacks/remove-menhir.patch

Then I ./autogen
and
./configure --enable-release

No, it's not quite right.  You got rid of things that reference menhir.  
You should only get rid of references to menhirLib.  Menhir is an 
independent tool that runs.  menhirLib is a library that tries to link 
with your spatch.  Running menhir is fine.  Thus the following is fine:

-$(PARSER_SOURCES:.mly=.ml) $(PARSER_SOURCES:.mly=.mli) : 
$(PARSER_SOURCES)
-	$(MENHIR) --ocamlc "${OCAMLC}" --ocamldep "${OCAMLDEP}" --table 
--base parser_cocci_menhir $(PARSER_SOURCES)

except that it should not have the --table.

[Cocci] Compiling latest coccinelle with opensuse

[Sébastien Hinderer]

Hi, Luis,

Normally, when Menhir is not installed, Coccinelle's buil system
should use the one provided in the bundles directory (same for MenhirLib).
At the moment this does not work quite wll and I am currently working on
fixing this issue.
Meanwhile, one other simple thing you could try is to install menhir
either through your distribution if it is packaged, or directly from
sources. Then start from a clean git repository and do the usual
procedure and I believe that shold work and would appreciate to know if it
does not.

hth,

S?bastien.

He built it from sources.  The problem he has with menhirLib is an
incompatability between cmi files in his lib64/ocaml directory.  That
would seem to have nothing to do with Coccinelle.  But file says that the
cmi files come from the same version of ocaml, which is really mysterious.
One of the files is Obj.mli. I assume that this comes with ocaml?  I
didn't ask whether he had reinstalled ocaml somehow after compiling
menhir.

[Cocci] Compiling latest coccinelle with opensuse

[Sébastien Hinderer]

Hi,

Luis: here is what I am guessing.

At some point in the past you have installed OCaml and then compiled
Menhir from sources with that version of OCaml. Meanwhile the OCaml
related packages got updated but Menhir has not been recompiled with
the updated version of OCaml, hence the inconsistency.

My suggestion would thus be to make sure you recompile Menhir with the
currently installed version of OCaml.

S?bastien.

S?bastien,

your guess was correct. I also tested using a new base OpenSUSE factory
install for both github and inria git repos for coccinelle and found
that:

  * github: works as expected
  * inria git: required menhir but fails with a compilation failure [0]

Then with only the latest and greatest on inira git:

  * menhir: compiled
  * coccinelle: compiles

Once I forced recompilation of menhir things worked well. The
reason things seem to work on debian is menhir is packaged and
updated regularly, and I suppose it might be updated as ocaml
gets updated as otherwise Debian would run into similar issues,
and if not I suspect they will once ocaml on Debian does get
upgraded :)

I wonder how we'll avoid these dependency issues creeping up moving
forward. This is pretty fragile, and if the git tree will represent
later the latest and greatest what should we do about mehir
dependencies?

For your convenience I've taken the time to document getting you
an opensuse chroot you can play with on Debian [1] but sadly
Debian zypper package currently has an odd issue [2]. So alternatively
you can just use docker [3] to get an opensuse factory thing going.
Both these options are the equivalent of using debootstrap on OpenSUSE.

Long term I realize you had some plans for possibly jenkins, otherwise
another option is the opensuse build service, which lets you get things
built over different distributions. I'm afraid that such solutions
might not pick up these sorts of issues though, I don't think they
upgrade the system but rather have a fresh install for each shoot,
not sure... BTW if you go the docker way and want to reproduce my
issues for bullet proof bug you could end up first compiling menhir
with the default docker image ocaml, then 'zypper dup' to upgrade
ocaml version and finally compiling  coccinelle.

Thanks for your help!

[0] Perhaps this should be prettier and require menhir then.

zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys -n install autoconf automake make tar

# To build the other goodies:

# get PCRE
zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys -n install pcre-tools pcre-devel

# Documentation
zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys -n install texlive-latex-bin-bin

Note I cannot still build the documentation, so I have given up
even with the above installed.

[4] Contributing to opensuse for the coccinelle package:

First get osc installed

But really first get an account on open build service:

https://build.opensuse.org/

You'll use that for osc.

git clone https://github.com/openSUSE/osc.git
cd osc

# you'll need these little buggers
sudo apt-get install python-urlgrabber python-gnomekeyring
python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install
sudo ln -sf /home/mcgrof/devel/osc/osc-wrapper.py /usr/bin/osc

Then to get coccinelle package a la apt-get source coccinelle,
but with mechanisms so you can contribute directly as if you
are using svn:

mkdir -p ~/devel/
cd ~/devel/
osc co openSUSE:Factory/coccinelle
cd openSUSE\:Factory/coccinelle/
vi coccinelle.spec

osc diff

But to contribute you need your own branch, etc, see the documentation
for more details:

I guess that it is normal that if you install something with your package 
manager, and another thing without your package manager, then they will 
get out of synch in strange ways.  It doesn't really seem like 
Coccinelle's problem, specifically.

Now that it has compiled, do you still have the problem with the 
Common.union_set reference?  Sebastien seemed to think that the ability to 
do dynamic linking in ocaml depends on more things than I would have 
expected.  But I odn't know the details.

The problem here stems from users of the internal inria git tree prior
to a release, nothing more. For those users like myself the issue is
real, and I am now aware of it, and so should others. Since we know we
want to later strive towards one tree for development we should consider
this a bit more seriously though. Perhaps once compromise might be to
carry the pre-built files (as in github now) and *only* if a specific
non-default 'make menhir-update' type of target is used would we force
a re-generation of the files? Distributions should not need to run
this, ony admins of the git tree.

Oh yes. And the instructions I gave can be used to reproduce that
build I think as well now. To reproduce one can build coccinelle
on opensuse (I guess inria git version), and then apply this draft
patch onto linux-next (git am the file).

http://drvbp1.linux-foundation.org/~mcgrof/coccinelle/common-union-issue/fw-warn-init-probe-draft-v2.patch

Then try it as follows:

# Note: cancel after 20 seconds otherwise, this patch is still
# being worked on, the current iteration use will run for a long
# time, don't waste your machine cycles / overheat your box.
export COCCI=scripts/coccinelle/api/request_firmware.cocci
make coccicheck MODE=report

I get:

Please check for false positives in the output before submitting a patch.
When using "patch" mode, carefully review the patch before submitting it.

Interesting, let me know if you have any leads on a possible fix. In the
meantime I'll be debugging the above iteration SmPL patch on Debian.

I don't think so.  The only different between the Inria version and the 
github version is whether parser_cocci_menhir.ml has to be created or is 
provided.  But you created it with no problem (to my understanding).  The 
problem came when you tried to compile it.  Then it refers to menhirLib.

Just for another data point, could you try demos/iteration.cocci?  Or for 
an even simpler test, demos/ocaml2.cocci.  No need to check the results.  
I just want to know if they crash.

But as I reported in my previous long detailed reply menhir is required
to be built if using the inria git, otherwise the build barfs with the error
I mentioned. So perhaps it was not desirable for that to be a requirement
but it seems it is -- at least for the non-github version?

OK, menhirLib is always needed with Coccinelle.  Maybe Coccinelle manages 
to use its own version, if you don't have one installed.  I had thought 
that Sebastien said that the menhir bundle was not being activated, but 
perhaps I misunderstood.

I'm myself confused, sorry about that Julia. There definitely is an
issue in Coccinelle's uild system regading this. What I noiced (using
INria's tree) is that Coccinelle is not able to use its bundled menhir.
So if no Menhir is installed, things go wrong. I don't remember exactly
what goes wrong but there's deinitely something that needs to be fixed
here.

[Cocci] Compiling latest coccinelle with opensuse

Dear Luis,

Great you could finally compile coccinelle.
And many thanks for having explained all the procedure to get docker
working, it's really great and will be very helpful.

I won't be able to look into the two problems (menhir and
Common.Union_set) before next week but will do it as soonas possible.

Regarding your suggestion to distribute the files generated by Menhir: I
don't think this will solve the problem; Indeed, the problem does not
occur when generating these files but when compiling them.

Actually, there are two things that are used from Menhir. First, Menhir
is used as a commandline tool. It takes a .mly file as inputandproduces
corresponding .ml and .mli files. Thisis roughtly speaking equivalentto
what yacc or bison do: taking a .y file as input and producing a .c as
output. Second, the .ml file that has been generated by Menhir uses a
library whichis called MenhirLib and to which the .cmo or .cmx files
obtained by compilin the .ml file will have to be linked. That is where
the problem you described appears andthat's why I don't think including
the generated .ml files woudlhelpin any way.

I hope I managed to be clear. :)

I have the impression that he managed to have menhirLib without installing 
menhir when he used the github version.  Is that possible?  Is there a 
bundle for menhirLib?

Perhaps...

As far as I understand, the menhir bundle provides both the tool and
MenhirLib.

I guess that there are further dependencies to consider.
For which data processing tasks is this library needed in Coccinelle so far?
http://cristal.inria.fr/~fpottier/menhir/CHANGES

How do you think about to reuse the package "menhir-20151012.tar.gz"
(together with the software "OCaml 4.02.3")?

Luis,

As the output of your rpm command shows, it seems your system has a
mixture of packages installed, some from ocaml 4.02.1, others from ocaml
4.02.3. So, if completely uninstalling menhir, making sure all its iles
have been removed from your system and then recompiling it is notenough,
one other thing that may be worse trying is to also uninstall every
OCaml related packages and then re-installing them.

No problem with opam, but this problem will recur, so I would really

Sure! The two things are totally distinct and the reported problem
definitely needs to be solved.

So far, the issue is that I was absolutely not able to reproduce it, so
any help on this would be greatly appreciated. The help could be a
detailed procedure explaining how to reproduce the problem, an access to
a machine where the problem occurs or anything else you guys could think
about.

I have got the impression that such an issue depends on specific version ranges
for the software "OCaml" and "Menhir".
Do you know the versions with which this library will work for the affected
programming language?

How do you think about to reuse a continuous integration system eventually?


When will Coccinelle's OCaml scripting interface work also together with
the latest software releases?
