 I am sure that Peter did that on purpose, both approaches having
 advantages and disadvantages. Personally I don't mind looking at the
 install log file in tmp_install to see the state of the installation,
 but it is true that this change is a bit disturbing regarding the fact
 that everything was directly outputted to stderr and stdout for many
 years.

Not really.  Before, pg_regress put the output of its internal make
install run into a log file.  Now make is just replicating that
behavior.  I would agree that that seems kind of obsolete now, because
it's really just another sub-make.  So if no one disagrees, I'd just
remove the log file redirection in temp-install.

Hm.  I don't really like the idea that make all behaves differently
if invoked by make check than if invoked directly.  Hiding warnings
from you is not very good, and hiding errors would be even more annoying.

 make check-world creates a temporary installation in every subdirectory
 it runs a test in, which is stupid: it's very slow and uses a lot of
 disk space.  It's enough to do this once per run.  That is the essence
 of what I have implemented.  It cuts the time for make check-world in
 half or less, and it saves gigabytes of disk space.


Something about this commit (dcae5faccab64776376d354d) broke make check
in parallel conditions when started from a clean directory.  It fails with
a different error each time, one example:

make -j4 check  /dev/null

If I rerun it without cleaning the tree, is usually passes the second
time.  Or I can just separate the make and the check like make -j4 
/dev/null  make check  /dev/null but I've grown accustomed to being
able to combine them since this problem was first fixed a couple years ago
(in a commit I can't seem to find)

I have:
GNU Make 4.0
Built for x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

I was using ccache, but I still get the problem without using it.

 Correction: HEAD is fine, but previous patch was broken because it
 tried to use --top-builddir. Also for ecpgcheck it looks that tricking
 PATH is needed to avoid dll loading errors related to libecpg.dll and
 libecpg_compat.dll. Updated patch is attached.

 To clarify: Are you of the opinion that your patch (on top of my base
 patch) is sufficient to make all of this work on Windows?

Things will work. I just tested again each test target with the patch
attached while wrapping again my mind on this stuff (actually found
one bug in plcheck where --bindir was not correct, and removed
tmp_install in upgradecheck). Now, what this patch does is enforcing
the temporary install for each *check target of vcregress.pl. This has
the disadvantage of making the benefits of MAKELEVEL=0 seen for build
methods using the Makefiles go away for MSVC, but it minimizes the use
of ENV variables which is a good thing to me by setting --bindir to a
value as much as possible (ecpgcheck being an exception), and it makes
the set of tests more consistent with each other in the way they run.
Another thing to know that this patch changes is that vcregress does
not rely anymore on the contents of Release/$projects, aka the build
structure of MS stuff, but just fetches binaries from the temporary
installation. That's more consistent with Makefile builds, now perhaps
some people have a different opinion.

What we could add later on a new target, allcheck, that would kick all
the tests at once and installs the temporary installation just once.
It would be straight-forward to write a patch, but this is a separate
discussion as installcheck would need to be skipped. isolationcheck
should as well be changed to be more self-dependent as even of HEAD it
needs to have an instance of PG running to work.

A trick that we could use here is to store a timestamp when running up
to completion build and the temporary installation in vcregress, and
skip the temporary installation if timestamp of vcregress' temporary
installation is newer than the one of build.

 Nice patch. This is going to save a lot of resources.

 An update of vcregress.pl is necessary. This visibly just consists in
 updating the options that have been renamed in pg_regress (don't mind
 testing any code sent out).

 Well, that turns out to be more complicated than initially thought.
 Apparently, the msvc has a bit of a different idea of what check and
 installcheck do with respect to temporary installs.  For instance,
 vcregress installcheck does not use psql from the installation but from
 the build tree.  vcregress check uses psql from the build tree but other
 binaries (initdb, pg_ctl) from the temporary installation.  It is hard
 for me to straighten this out by just looking at the code.  Attached is
 a patch that shows the idea, but I can't easily take it further than that.

Urg. Yes for installcheck I guess that we cannot do much but simply
use the psql from the tree, but on the contrary for all the other
targets we can use the temporary installation as $topdir/tmp_install.

Regarding the patch you sent, IMO it is not a good idea to kick
install with system() as this can fail as an unrecognized command
runnable. And the command that should be used is not vcregress
install $path but simply vcregress install. Hence I think that
calling simply Install() makes more sense. Also, I think that it would
be better to not enforce PATH before kicking the commands.

Speaking of which, attached is a patch rewritten in-line with those
comments, simplifying a bit the whole at the same time. Note this
patch changes ecpgcheck as it should be patched, but as ecpgcheck test
is broken even on HEAD, I'll raise a separate thread about that with a
proper fix (for example bowerbird skips this test).
On my side, with this patch, installcheck, check, plcheck,
upgradecheck work properly and all of them use the common
installation. It would be more adapted to add checks on the existence
of $tmp_installdir/bin though in InstallTemp instead of kicking an
installation all the time. But that's simple enough to change.
Regards,

 In pg_regress.c datadir is a new option but it is used nowhere, so it
 could be as well removed.

Yeah, that's an oversight that is easily corrected.

Re: [HACKERS] improving speed of make check-world

 Running make -j2 check-world does not work because initdb is not

 is not expected to work anyway? See below suggestions to make it work.

Here is an updated patch that fixes this problem.

The previous problem was simply a case were the make rules were not
parallel-safe.

For recursive make, we (through magic) set up targets like this:

check: check-subdir1-check check-subdir2-check

And with my old patch we added

check: temp-install

So the aggregate prerequisites were in effect something like

check: check-subdir1-check check-subdir2-check temp-install

And so there was nothing stopping a parallel make to descend into the
subdirectories before the temp install was set up.

What we need is additional prerequisites like

check-subdir1-check check-subdir2-check: temp-install

I have hacked this directly into the $(recurse) function, which is ugly.
 This could possibly be improved somehow, but the effect would be the
same in any case.

With this, I can now run things like

make -C src/pl check -j3
make -C src/bin check -j8

A full make check-world -j$X is still prone to fail because some test
suites can't run in parallel with others, but that's a separate problem
to fix.


Note:  We have in the meantime added logic to pg_regress to clean up the
temporary installation after the run.  This changes that because
pg_regress is no longer responsible for the temporary installation.
pg_regress still cleans up the temporary data directory, so you still
get quite a bit of space savings.  But the temporary installation is not
cleaned up.  But since we would now only use a single temporary
installation, the disk space usage still stays in the same order of
magnitude.

Doesn't the Windows side of the house still depend on that functionality
you removed from pg_regress?  Perhaps that's not a big deal to fix, but
it seems like a commit-blocker from here.

Re: [HACKERS] improving speed of make check-world

2014-08-31 Thread Fabien COELHO



Hello Peter,

Here is a review:

The version 2 of the patch applies cleanly on current head.

The ability to generate and reuse a temporary installation for different 
tests looks quite useful, thus putting install out of pg_regress and in 
make seems reasonnable.


However I'm wondering whether there could be some use case of pg_regress 
where doing the install might be useful nevertheless, say for manually 
doing things on the command line, in which case keeping the feature, even 
if not used by default, could be nice?


About changes: I think that more comments would be welcome, eg 
with_temp_install.


There is not a single documentation change. Should there be some? Hmmm... 
I have not found much documentation about pg_regress...


I have tested make check, check-world, as well as make check in contrib 
sub-directories. It seems to work fine in sequential mode.


Running make -j2 check-world does not work because initdb is not found 
by pg_regress. but make -j1 check-world does work fine. It seems that 
some dependencies might be missing and there is a race condition between 
temporary install and running some checks?? Maybe it is not expected to 
work anyway? See below suggestions to make it work.


However in this case the error message passed by pg_regress contains an 
error:


 pg_regress: initdb failed
 Examine /home/fabien/DEV/GIT/postgresql/contrib/btree_gin/log/initdb.log for 
the reason.
 Command was: initdb -D /home/fabien/DEV/GIT/postgresql/contrib/btree_gin/./tmp_check/data 
--noclean --nosync  /home/fabien/DEV/GIT/postgresql/contrib/btree_gin/./tmp_check/log/initdb.log 
21
 make[2]: *** [check] Error 2

The error messages point to non existing log file (./tmp_check is 
missing), the temp_instance variable should be used in the error message 
as well as in the commands. Maybe other error messages have the same 
issues.


I do not like much the MAKELEVEL hack in a phony target. When running in 
parallel, several makes may have the same level anyway, not sure what 
would happen... Maybe it is the origin of the race condition which makes 
initdb not to be found above. I would suggest to try to rely on 
dependences, maybe something like the following could work to ensure that 
an installation is done once and only once per make invocation, whatever 
the underlying parallelism  levels, as well as a possibility to reuse the 
previous installation.


  # must be defined somewhere common to all makefiles
  ifndef MAKE_NONCE
  # define a nanosecond timestamp
  export MAKE_NONCE := $(shell date +%s.%N)
  endif

  # actual new tmp installation
  .tmp_install:
$(RM) ./.tmp_install.*
$(RM) -r ./tmp_install
# create tmp installation...
touch $@

  # tmp installation for the nonce
  .tmp_install.$(MAKE_NONCE): .tmp_install
touch $@

  # generate a new tmp installation by default
  # make USE_TMP_INSTALL=1 ... reuses a previous installation if available
  ifdef USE_TMP_INSTALL
  TMP_INSTALL = .tmp_install
  else
  TMP_INSTALL = .tmp_install.$(MAKE_NONCE)
  endif # USE_TMP_INSTALL

  .PHONY: main-temp-install
  main-temp-install: $(TMP_INSTALL)

  .PHONY: extra-temp-install
  extra-temp-install: main-temp-install
# do EXTRA_INSTALL


MSVC build is not yet adjusted for this.  Looking at vcregress.pl, this 
should be fairly straightforward.


No idea about that point.

Oops, I got it wrong, the install would not be reexecuted the second time.

Maybe someting more like:

  ifdef USE_ONE_INSTALL
  TMP_INSTALL = .tmp_install.once
  else
  TMP_INSTALL = .tmp_install.$(MAKE_NONCE)
  endif

  $(TMP_INSTALL):

So that the file target is different each time it is run. Hopefully.

Nice!


The idea is that we only maintain one temporary installation under the
top-level directory.  By looking at the variable MAKELEVEL, we can tell
whether we are the top-level make invocation.  If so, make a temp
installation.  If not, we know that the upper layers have already done
it and we can just point to the existing temp installation.

I do this by ripping out the temp installation logic from pg_regress and
implementing it directly in the makefiles.  This is much simpler and has
additional potential benefits:

The pg_regress temp install mode is actually a combination of two
functionalities: temp install plus temp instance.  Until now, you could
only get the two together, but the temp instance functionality is
actually quite useful by itself.  It opens up the possibility of
implementing make check for external pgxs modules, for example.

Also, you could now run the temp installation step using parallel make,
making it even faster.  This was previously disabled because the make
flags would have to pass through pg_regress.  It still won't quite work
to run make check-world -j8, say, because we can't actually run the
tests in parallel (yet), but something like make -C src/test/regress
check -j8 should work.

To that end, I have renamed the pg_regress --temp-install option to
--temp-instance.  Since --temp-install is only used inside the source
tree, this shouldn't cause any compatibility problems.


Yeah, that all makes a lot of sense.

The new EXTRA_INSTALL makefile variable ought to be documented in 
extend.sgml, where we list REGRESS_OPTS and others.

But EXTRA_INSTALL is only of use inside the main source tree, not by
extensions.

[HACKERS] improving speed of make check-world

2014-08-14 Thread Peter Eisentraut
make check-world creates a temporary installation in every subdirectory

MSVC build is not yet adjusted for this.  Looking at vcregress.pl, this
should be fairly straightforward.
