the parrot rt queue is growing by the week. it means we have more eyes
on the source code, and more folks running parrot. it also means it
becomes more difficult to manage.

as you can see in the snippets above from the weekly rt summary
message, we have 500+ tickets. many of these are unclassified with
regard to platform, severity, language, etc. classification of these
tickets, and creation of shared queries we can use to manage the queue
will make it easier for committers and contributors to perform
analysis on current tickets. this will enable folks to more easily
determine if a ticket has been entered already, for example.

oh, and just to get it out of the way... i'm *not* entering a ticket
for this item :P

if anyone would like to do help with this effort, but doesn't have the
proper rights, let us know. we'll try to get you set up to help.

Parrot Bug Summary <perlbug...@perl.org> wrote:

> 41858 [CAGE] Make a reasonable set of rules for splint

Hi,

Random cage cleaner here. At Andy Lester's suggestion, I've begun
working on this splint stuff. So everything below is all his fault. :)

I found that "make splint" is currently very dependent on the machine
you run it on. I'm running it on Gentoo Linux, and so, Parrot gets
built with lots of unixish features (due to their being enabled in
has_header.h). For instance, my platform has PARROT_HAS_HEADER_ARPAINET
defined, so <arpa/inet.h> gets included.

Unfortunately, splint barfs on this, because my arpa/inet.h isn't
compatible with the +posixstrictlibs flag (because of a lack of
in_addr_t typedef in splint's posix lib, I think). Further on, I found
splint couldn't parse my pthread.h either, so I eventually gave it a
+skip-sys-headers, which got a lot farther.

I battled against this for a while, and found this small set of changes
(see the attached diff) were helpful to get the majority of the
sourcefiles parsing correctly with splint.

Unfortunately, I had to turn +posixstrictlibs into +unixstrictlibs to
get it to work at all on my machine... which is not the most portable
thing to do.

Do you think its possible to use a "dummy" config.h and has_header.h
and stuff, for the purposes of splint portability? One that doesn't
enable any platform-specific stuff, and thus, will generate the same
results on any platform? Splint seems to like using its own internal
header-library (and it has a few different ones... ISO, POSIX, UNIX),
and barfs on my system headers in several places, mostly due to
conflicts between its library and my reality.

I had to blacklist the following files, because splint could not parse
them for whatever reason:

compilers/imcc/imcparser.c
compilers/imcc/instructions.c
compilers/imcc/parser_util.c
src/charset/unicode.c
src/encodings/ucs2.c
src/encodings/utf16.c

src/ops/core_ops_cgp.c
src/pmc/bigint.c
src/spf_render.c
src/spf_vtable.c
src/string_primitives.c

But the remaining 177 C source files went through okay, with the
following warning summary:

I think this is a reasonable starting point. More details are available
on request. (the stdout was around 2 megs.)

So far, I've already identified the "casebreak" warnings as useless,
because parrot often intentionally falls through from one switchcase to
another, and this isn't a bug. So I shut those off. It's likely that
other flags in the above list will need to be suppressed, as well...
the casebreak one was simply the most obvious one.

I'd like to spend some time trying to make "make splint" more
portable... splint defines a special preprocessor variable when it
runs, so maybe config.h can skip all the platform-specific stuff when
that variable is defined, or something like that. And I'd like to
spend some time fixing the source files I listed above, or, failing
that, marking them somehow so splint will skip the erroneous stuff.

I'd also like to spend some time researching and (hopefully) fixing
some of the warnings in the above warning list, too.

Is anyone already working on this?

Does anyone have any interest in this?

Does anyone have an objection to it?

Great to have another cage cleaner around :-) There aren't many of us
at this stage!

<snip splint stuff>

In my (very limited) dealings with splint I too have found problems
with the standard headers, and have used the same options (if only to
make splint get further before it barfs; btw: I'm using Gentoo linux
as well). I think you're heading in the right direction though.

Awesome! Go for it!!! Start making patches (see
http://www.parrotcode.org/docs/submissions.html for help on how to
create patches) and send them to parr...@parrotcode.org and we'll
review them and apply your changes. There is also the file
docs/project/cage_cleaners_guide.pod in the Parrot distro, so if
you're interested there's stuff to do there. Also, if you do a search
on http://rt.perl.org/rt3//Public/ for "cage" then there's heaps to do
there too :-)

When I have the tuits, yeah, but generally I work on other stuff, so
any help in this department is *greatly* appreciated.

> Does anyone have any interest in this?

I can't speak for everyone, but Parrot is going to be the most
platform independent thing out there so making it as compliant as
possible with every platform/compiler/etc is of interest to the
project as a whole. So yes, I'd say there's interest :-)

> Does anyone have an objection to it?

None whatsoever.

Should be a bit better now wrt platforms affected by a given ticket.
Going in decending ticket number, I got to #37993. I might be able to
finish sometime later, but if someone beats me to it I won't be
displeased ;-)

Just as a note to the list (and in some sense myself) we need categories for:

- Tru64, OpenSolaris, a tag to specify 32 or 64 bit, IntelMac (in platforms)
- imcc, pir (in languages)
- RFE, CAGE, PGE, TGE, PDD (in tags)
