Adding support for LTO has exposed some issues with how the functions
versioning was supported by meson, which was always set to build both
shared and static libraries.

For plain C code, so long as the -fPIC compiler flag was passed, the
output is identical whether or not the code is to be included in a
static library or a dynamic one. Unfortunately, when using function
versioning that no longer held as different macros were used for the
versioned functions depending on which type of build it was. This means
that any files that use versioning need to be built twice, with
different defines in each case.

While the trivial solution here is just to rebuild everything twice,
that involves a lot of unnecessary work when building DPDK. A better
option is to identify those files or components which need multiple
builds and rebuild only those. To do this, we add a new meson.build
setting for libraries "use_function_versioning" and when that is set, we
rebuild all source files twice, initially for static library and then
with -DRTE_BUILD_SHARED_LIB for the shared library.

If the flag is not set, then the static versioning setting only is used,
which could lead to the build succeeding but later causing problems. To
avoid that, we add a new define which must be set when the versioning
header is included. This addition while solving 1 problem raises 2
other, more minor problems:
* what to do with make builds? since make only builds one library type,
  we can just always define the new value.
* what about files that include rte_compat.h for the macro for
  "experimental"? To solve this, we can split compat.h in two, since the
  versioning macro should be internal only to DPDK (as no public header
  should expose anything but the latest APIs), while the experimental
  macros are primarily for public use.

The compat.h header file provided macros for two purposes:
1. it provided the macros for marking functions as rte_experimental
2. it provided the macros for doing function versioning

Although these were in the same file, #1 is something that is for use by
public header files, which #2 is for internal use only. Therefore, we can
split these into two headers, keeping #1 in rte_compat.h and #2 in a new
file rte_function_versioning.h. For "make" builds, since internal objects
pick up the headers from the "include/" folder, we need to add the new
header to the installation list, but for "meson" builds it does not need to
be installed as it's not for public use.

The rework also serves to allow the use of the function versioning macros
to files that actually need them, so the use of experimental functions does
not need including of the versioning code.

Any file with ABI versioned functions needs different macros for shared and
static builds, so we need to accomodate that. Rather than building
everything twice, we just flag to the build system which libraries need
that handling, by setting use_function_versioning in the meson.build files.

To ensure we don't get silent errors at build time due to this meson flag
being missed, we add an explicit error to the function versioning header
file if a known C macro is not defined. Since "make" builds always only
build one of shared or static libraries, this define can be always set, and
so is added to the common_base file. For meson, the build flag - and
therefore the C define - is set for the three libraries that need the
function versioning: "distributor", "lpm" and "timer".

Apologies, but one of the parts of the split file somehow missed making the
patch. I'll do a v2 soon.

Adding support for LTO has exposed some issues with how the functions
versioning was supported by meson, which was always set to build both
shared and static libraries.

For plain C code, so long as the -fPIC compiler flag was passed, the
output is identical whether or not the code is to be included in a
static library or a dynamic one. Unfortunately, when using function
versioning that no longer held as different macros were used for the
versioned functions depending on which type of build it was. This means
that any files that use versioning need to be built twice, with
different defines in each case.

While the trivial solution here is just to rebuild everything twice,
that involves a lot of unnecessary work when building DPDK. A better
option is to identify those files or components which need multiple
builds and rebuild only those. To do this, we add a new meson.build
setting for libraries "use_function_versioning" and when that is set, we
rebuild all source files twice, initially for static library and then
with -DRTE_BUILD_SHARED_LIB for the shared library.

If the flag is not set, then the static versioning setting only is used,
which could lead to the build succeeding but later causing problems. To
avoid that, we add a new define which must be set when the versioning
header is included. This addition while solving 1 problem raises 2
other, more minor problems:
* what to do with make builds? since make only builds one library type,
  we can just always define the new value.
* what about files that include rte_compat.h for the macro for
  "experimental"? To solve this, we can split compat.h in two, since the
  versioning macro should be internal only to DPDK (as no public header
  should expose anything but the latest APIs), while the experimental
  macros are primarily for public use.

V2: added in file that missed a "git add" when doing V1

The compat.h header file provided macros for two purposes:
1. it provided the macros for marking functions as rte_experimental
2. it provided the macros for doing function versioning

Although these were in the same file, #1 is something that is for use by
public header files, which #2 is for internal use only. Therefore, we can
split these into two headers, keeping #1 in rte_compat.h and #2 in a new
file rte_function_versioning.h. For "make" builds, since internal objects
pick up the headers from the "include/" folder, we need to add the new
header to the installation list, but for "meson" builds it does not need to
be installed as it's not for public use.

The rework also serves to allow the use of the function versioning macros
to files that actually need them, so the use of experimental functions does
not need including of the versioning code.

Any file with ABI versioned functions needs different macros for shared and
static builds, so we need to accomodate that. Rather than building
everything twice, we just flag to the build system which libraries need
that handling, by setting use_function_versioning in the meson.build files.

To ensure we don't get silent errors at build time due to this meson flag
being missed, we add an explicit error to the function versioning header
file if a known C macro is not defined. Since "make" builds always only
build one of shared or static libraries, this define can be always set, and
so is added to the common_base file. For meson, the build flag - and
therefore the C define - is set for the three libraries that need the
function versioning: "distributor", "lpm" and "timer".

Thanks Bruce for the patch.  I like the idea of splitting versioning out
of rte_compat.h, but I have some comments.

I'm not fond of this config option - it is not really an option to be
changed by the user.  I would prefer to just add flag to CFLAGS in
mk/target/generic/rte.vars.mk.

So now everything builds "as static lib" (but with "-fPIC") apart from
those libraries that use symbol versioning.  I'm OK with that however
I'd like to note that code might be using RTE_BUILD_SHARED_LIB and do
different things e.g. app/test-bbdev/test_bbdev_perf.c.  I know that was
already the case - just wanted to say that aloud to make sure we are all
aware of this :).

Maybe a different name for this option?  In general an "ideal
theoretical" solution would be for build system to figure out on its own
that separate build is necessary automatically - but that might incur
some performance penalty (additional grep'ing of sources or so).  So I'm
fine with this option however I'd like to rename it to actually indicate
what it's effect is.  Like 'separate_build' or 'split_build' or
'rebuild_objects' or ...

The intention of using of versioned symbols is already indicated by
inclusion of the relevant header.

If you accept above suggestion then change this message to something
like: "Function versioning requires 'separate_build=true' in meson.build"

BTW it turned out that this need for separate build for versioned
symbols is a result of long standing gcc bug:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=48200

I'll test this with clang and if this will work then maybe we could
guard this #if with another check for 'gcc'.

Thanks for pointing this out, I wasn't aware of it! Doing a git grep this
seems to be the only place in a C file (other than rte_config.h and
rte_compat.h) where the SHARED_LIB flag is being checked. I'll need to
follow up on that to see what the logic is there, because it seems strange
to require such a check.

I was thinking about that, and how we can do it automatically. The trouble
is that for correctness we would need to recheck every file after it had
changed, and since the result of the check means that we have different
build steps it would basically mean doing a full reconfiguration for every
file change. That's not really practical, hence this proposed solution.

I actually feel the opposite. I'd rather have the name tied in to the fact
that it's related to using function versioning - subject to what is found
on investigating the #ifdef in the bbdev perf test. However, if you feel
strongly about the name something else, I can probably compromise on it :-)

Agreed. This obviously needs to be kept in sync with whatever the build
flag is.

Adding support for LTO has exposed some issues with how the functions
versioning was supported by meson, which was always set to build both
shared and static libraries.

For plain C code, so long as the -fPIC compiler flag was passed, the
output is identical whether or not the code is to be included in a
static library or a dynamic one. Unfortunately, when using function
versioning that no longer held as different macros were used for the
versioned functions depending on which type of build it was. This means
that any files that use versioning need to be built twice, with
different defines in each case.

While the trivial solution here is just to rebuild everything twice,
that involves a lot of unnecessary work when building DPDK. A better
option is to identify those files or components which need multiple
builds and rebuild only those. To do this, we add a new meson.build
setting for libraries "use_function_versioning" and when that is set, we
rebuild all source files twice, initially for static library and then
with -DRTE_BUILD_SHARED_LIB for the shared library.

If the flag is not set, then the static versioning setting only is used,
which could lead to the build succeeding but later causing problems. To
avoid that, we add a new define which must be set when the versioning
header is included. This addition while solving 1 problem raises 2
other, more minor problems:
* what to do with make builds? since make only builds one library type,
  we can just always define the new value.
* what about files that include rte_compat.h for the macro for
  "experimental"? To solve this, we can split compat.h in two, since the
  versioning macro should be internal only to DPDK (as no public header
  should expose anything but the latest APIs), while the experimental
  macros are primarily for public use.

V3: following feedback, moved the define for make from the common_base
    build config file to one of the global makefiles, as it's not user
    tunable.
V2: added in file that missed a "git add" when doing V1

The compat.h header file provided macros for two purposes:
1. it provided the macros for marking functions as rte_experimental
2. it provided the macros for doing function versioning

Although these were in the same file, #1 is something that is for use by
public header files, which #2 is for internal use only. Therefore, we can
split these into two headers, keeping #1 in rte_compat.h and #2 in a new
file rte_function_versioning.h. For "make" builds, since internal objects
pick up the headers from the "include/" folder, we need to add the new
header to the installation list, but for "meson" builds it does not need to
be installed as it's not for public use.

The rework also serves to allow the use of the function versioning macros
to files that actually need them, so the use of experimental functions does
not need including of the versioning code.

  To: dev; +Cc: Andrzej Ostruszka, Neil Horman, bluca, thomas, Bruce Richardson

Any file with ABI versioned functions needs different macros for shared and
static builds, so we need to accomodate that. Rather than building
everything twice, we just flag to the build system which libraries need
that handling, by setting use_function_versioning in the meson.build files.

To ensure we don't get silent errors at build time due to this meson flag
being missed, we add an explicit error to the function versioning header
file if a known C macro is not defined. Since "make" builds always only
build one of shared or static libraries, this define can be always set, and
so is added to the global CFLAGS. For meson, the build flag - and therefore
the C define - is set for the three libraries that need the function
versioning: "distributor", "lpm" and "timer".

This #ifdef can be removed, see patchset: 
http://patches.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/list/?series=6699

This then leaves function versioning as the only use-case where we need
different code paths for static vs shared builds.

I've not made any changes here for the V3. However, if we want to reduce
the number of changes required, we could always switch to having the
rte_function_versioning.h header file included on the basis of the flag in
the meson.build file. Having the C flag compile vary based on the meson one
is normal, having the inverse is problematic because of what I explained
above - you'd basically need to reconfigure to check after each file
change.

Personally, I don't think changing things to auto-include the header is
worth it, hence the fact of no-change in v3.

/Bruce

in the section "ABI versioning" of Neil Horman,
