build: pass over a host that has no mrbc to lend - #7240
Conversation
A cross target borrows `mrbc` from a build that answers `MRB_NO_FLOAT` the way
it does, because `src/load.c` refuses a whole irep over a pool entry the
target cannot represent. The question was asked of the compiler alone, and a
build config can write the define on the build:
```ruby
MRuby::CrossBuild.new('target') do |conf|
conf.defines << 'MRB_NO_FLOAT'
end
```
`Command::Compiler#all_flags` puts `build.defines` on every command line, so
the target compiles without floats while `cc.has_define?` says it does not. It
borrowed a `host` that answers otherwise, and the `mrbc` of that host wrote a
float pool entry the target refused to load:
```console
$ rake -m test
.........(unknown):0: irep load error (ScriptError)
```
Read both lists, the way `Build#has_define?` reads them. `Build#has_define?`
itself cannot be asked here: it refuses until the gems are set up, and a cross
build binds its `mrbc` as it is declared.
The question also moves to `MRBC_DEFINES`, which the comparison and the
defines the generated build carries now both read, so a second define that
decides what a pool entry may hold is one entry rather than three places.
`MRuby::CrossBuild` settled the build it borrows `mrbc` from as it was declared, and where the config had written no `host` yet, it generated one under that name. `MRuby::Build#initialize` reopens a name already taken rather than initialising it afresh, so the `host` the config went on to declare landed on the generated build and kept its `disable_libmruby`. No `libmruby.a` rule was defined for `host`, and `tasks/presym.rake` asked for one: ```console $ rake rake aborted! Don't know how to build task 'build/host/lib/libmruby.a' ``` Ask the question once instead, from the Rakefile, where the config has been read whole: `MRuby.resolve_mrbc_hosts` binds every cross build before any gem is set up, so a `host` written after a cross build is as visible as one written before it, and the defines the answer turns on are still the ones the config alone has written. A cross target that cannot borrow a declared `host` now borrows a build generated under a name of this code's own, `mrbc/default` or `mrbc/no-float`, named for the `MRBC_DEFINES` it carries rather than for the target that asked for it first. Targets that give the same answer share a build, and it belongs to none of them. The name is one a build config does not write, so nothing generated here takes a name the config wants, and `build/mrbc` is where `mrbc` built for its own sake goes, which is where `build_config/mrbc.rb` already puts it. `build/host` is left to a `host` the config declares, so an ordinary `host` build no longer meets a `MRB_NO_GEMS` object a config of cross builds alone left behind. Two things follow for a config of cross builds alone. No `host` target is left for `rake install` and `rake install_bin` to name, so they fall back to every target the config did declare. And `tasks/presym.rake` reads `mrbc_build` to leave the generated build's objects to it, which a cross target named `mrbc` holds in its own directory and would otherwise scan as its own: 62 files against 49.

A cross build borrows `mrbc` from a declared `host` on one question:
whether it answers `MRB_NO_FLOAT` the way the target does. It never asks
whether that `host` has a `mrbc` at all, so a `host` with
`disable_libmruby` and no `mruby-bin-mrbc` is borrowed anyway, and the
target's own `mrblib` rule fails inside `Build#mrbcfile` with a message
that names `host` twice and the target not at all:
```ruby
MRuby::Build.new('host') do |conf|
conf.toolchain
conf.disable_libmruby
end
MRuby::CrossBuild.new('cross') do |conf|
conf.toolchain
conf.gem :core => "mruby-bin-mruby"
end
```
```console
external mrbc or mruby-bin-mrbc gem in current('host') or 'host' build is required
```
Everywhere else `bind_mrbc_host` generates a build when the declared
`host` will not do: where there is none, and where it answers otherwise
on the defines in `MRBC_DEFINES`. Only "it has none to lend" fell
through to the raise.
Ask that too. `Build#supplies_mrbc?` says whether a build has a `mrbc`
to hand out, which is the question `Build#mrbcfile` already puts to
`host` on behalf of a native build: one it was given, one
`create_mrbc_build` generated for it, or one it builds from the gem.
`bind_mrbc_host` asks it before the defines are compared, and a `host`
that answers no is passed over for the generated build the answer
names, `mrbc/default` here, the way a `host` that answers otherwise on
the defines already is. The `host` itself is left as it is written.
The config above now builds, with `mrbc` generated under `build/mrbc`.
A `host` that carries the gem, one given an external `mrbcfile`, one
with `libmruby`, and a config with no `host` bind as before, and a cross
build with its own external `mrbcfile` still asks nothing of `host`.

Preserve a cross build's local mruby-bin-mrbc provider.
CrossBuild#mrbcfile bypasses Build#mrbcfile unless mrbcfile_external? is true. A cross build that declares mruby-bin-mrbc now ignores its local provider. bind_mrbc_host then binds a host or generated provider instead.
Return super and skip binding when supplies_mrbc? is true.
Proposed fix
def mrbcfile
- return super if mrbcfile_external?
+ return super if supplies_mrbc?
unless `@mrbc_host`
fail "the `mrbc' for '#{`@name`}' is not bound yet; `MRuby.resolve_mrbc_hosts' " \
"binds it once the whole build config has been read"
end
MRuby::targets[`@mrbc_host`].mrbcfile
end
def bind_mrbc_host(mrbc_builds)
- return if mrbcfile_external?
+ return if supplies_mrbc?Also applies to: 679-680

Stacked on #7239, which binds every cross build to its
mrbconce the wholeconfig has been read and names the generated build for the defines it carries,
and through it on #7238. Their two commits are the first here and are not part
of this change.
A build config that declares a
hostwhich can supply nomrbcstops beforeanything is built, and the message names the
host:Dropping the cross build, or dropping
disable_libmruby, builds fine. Thefailure is the same on
master, on #7238 and on #7239; only the line numbersmove.
Why
CrossBuild#bind_mrbc_hostpicks a declaredhoston one question: whether itanswers the defines in
MRBC_DEFINESthe way the target does. It does not askwhether that
hostcan produce amrbcat all.A
hostwithdisable_libmrubynever gets one.Build#initializeaskslibmruby_enabled?before it generates themrbcsub-build:so the
hostabove has no@mrbcfileand nomruby-bin-mrbcgem, and thecross target reads it anyway.
Build#mrbcfilethen raises for thehost,during the cross target's own
mrblibrule.Everywhere else
bind_mrbc_hostgenerates a build when the declaredhostwill not do: where there is none, and where it answers otherwise on the
defines. Only "it has none to lend" falls through to a raise, and the raise is
loud but misdirected: the build that wanted a
mrbciscross, the messagenames
hosttwice andcrossnot at all, and the remedy it suggests is to addmruby-bin-mrbcto ahostthe config deliberately stripped.What this does
Ask that question too.
Build#supplies_mrbc?says whether a build has amrbcto hand out: one it was given through
mrbcfile=, onecreate_mrbc_buildgenerated for it (which hands it over the same way), or one it builds from the
gem. It is the question
Build#mrbcfilealready puts tohoston behalf of anative build.
bind_mrbc_hostasks it before the defines are compared:A
hostthat answers no is passed over for the generated build the answernames,
mrbc/defaultfor the config above, the way ahostthat answersotherwise on the defines already is. The
hostitself is left as it iswritten: nothing is added to it, it is only not borrowed from.
A native build that borrows from the same
hoststill fails inBuild#mrbcfileas before; that path generates nothing and is not touchedhere.
