Idiomatic manner to have optimized build in DCE/NS-3

[Hans van den Bogert]

Hi,

I can't really find the 'right' way to do a optimized build for NS3/DCE using bake. I can see there is a parameter for debug and optimized, but there is no indication that after the deploy using bake, a normal compilation of an experiment inside source/ns-3-dce for example, will also be optimized. In fact I have no idea if the ns3 and DCE projects are actually built using all optimizations in the first place.

Should you go into source/ns-3-dce and do a './waf configure -d optimized' and the same for any other subprojects?

I'm really interested to get the best performance for benchmarking, because I'm testing an executable to be used in an DCE environment which uses 15% of CPU time on bare-metal/native CPU, but the same executable uses 100% CPU when run under DCE. So the running overhead of DCE is at least 6x compared to native. This is already using the DLM loader (which normally is faster right?), which I'm forced to use because the Cooja loader has an outstanding bug.

Thanks for any help provided,

Hans

I'm using this script for Jenkins test. It includes opt/static build and test.

Thanks,

Though static build of NS3 is failing for me. Only with a generic error in the linking phase:

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

I'm on rev 10956 for ns3.

Okay this is solved, probably some local issues.

But, any script in the myscripts folder is giving SIGSEGV. Examples from the example folder are working fine. test-dce.sh can be run successfully.

I've looked at the wscript file and there is some discrepancies how examples are run vs. myscripts. I've mimicked the way examples are being run for the myscripts and it should work now. The whole wscript file is probably a bit cluttered over time and I only made it worse by adding functionality instead of reusing. But at least it works now.

Is the patch wanted?
