Add alias field to rules #2744
Add alias field to rules #2744
Conversation
This interpretation is correct in principle, but I'm not sure about the details. |
Yeah, it definitely seems problematic. In fact, this attempt fails even earlier because it's not possible the rule action to update the alias and the rule's targets. Those targets exist in different directories (as the test shows). |
Now I'm wondering if there's a way to implement without some roundabout hacks. For example, it seems like if we could add some dummy target to the rule and make it a dependency of the alias that would work fine. But then we'd have to make sure this dummy target is hidden from that user. This hack doesn't seem desirable to me. |
Isn't using a dummy target what we do now for aliases with action? |
It looks like I won't have time to look at this today and then I'm away from tomorrow until the end of next week. If we can't make it work, let's just take this point out of 2.0.0. |

@aalekseyev have a look at my last commit. Do you think this is more reasonable? My only issue is that this dummy file can be accidentally caught through globs :/ |
I haven't looked at the code yet, but the discussion in the RFC made me think: maybe we should start by simply translating the rule definitions to alias definitions internally when they come without targets. |

To be honest, I don't really understand packages. I guess a package, from dune point of view, is:
I'm not sure which of these we want to interact with and how. My guess is it's (1): we just want to make the build of a given package depend on a given alias. If so, maybe the right way to think about it is that there's a special alias associated with each package. (let's say its name is (package foo)) If you want a rule to be built as a part of a package, you write (rule ... (alias (package blah))) or (rule ... (package blah)) as an abbreviation. (only allowing the second syntax only is fine too, but I think desugaring in terms of aliases would at least clarify the semantics). In fact, it might be a good idea to allow a rule to register itself with multiple aliases. |
It’s not yet clear to me how your idea would work with tests however. Without filtering the rules with -p, how do you propose we run tests for an individual package?
I still like your idea because I think it makes sense to move away from relying on -p for running package tests. I would be much more comfort with tests for a particular package being selected as just a normal build target.
By the way this PR is independent of these considerations as the old alias stanza still works.

I expect a stamp target matching random globs to be pretty annoying. We should probably do something about that.
One (somewhat hacky) approach is, as I said before, to move the rule action to the alias dir if there's no targets. (I think alias actions are translated to rules internally in builds_system.ml anyway so it's perhaps not as much of a hack as it seems at first)
Another thing we could do is to allow targets in multiple directories as long as the set of directories is known in advance, but that seems trickier.

But what about rules with targets? We'd be left with the same problem in this case.

This is highly desirable. It's required to support other kinds of rules such as coq's native compute rules.
However, I have a simpler solution for this problem. What I think we need is a "private" notion of targets. Such private targets:
- Cannot be picked up by user written globs
- Cannot be used as explicit dependencies for user written rules.
Such targets would solve other similar problems:
- Users relying on implementation specific paths like
.objs
and then dune changes end up breaking them. - They make it easy for us to exclude undesired stuff from
@all
.

But what about rules with targets?
For rules with targets we don't really need a stamp file because we can depend on any of those targets.
This is highly desirable.
Yes indeed!
"private" notion of targets
That idea only helps if the rules are sandboxed. If they are not sandboxed, they will see the entire directory and dune has no power over that. Imagine somebody writing a rule cat foo/*
and declaring that it depends on glob foo/*
. The output of the command will include private files whether we want it or not.
A safe solution is to make it an error when a glob for a non-sandboxed rule happens to include a private dep, but that's obviously not great.

Things look good other than polluting globs with the stamp file names. I think we should probably fix that.
Regarding packages, I'm happy to leave it for later. Thanks for pointing out my ideas don't match the reality. I'll need to understand the existing thing at some point though. |

Yes indeed!
I suppose we should open a separate ticket for this. Do you have an implementation in mind?

yes that’s a good point. Okay you’ve convinced me that this would be too fragile. I suppose the priority for multi dir rules is fairly high now. I’ll try to remember to mention it at the next dune meeting.

I've added package to |
Just a note: we should aim at having a uniform handling for all rules that are part of an alias, whether or not they have targets, and we should also try to find a way to not rely on these stamp files that tend to get in the way. Maybe we need some kind of virtual targets? In any case, I'm removing this from the 2.0.0 milestone. Looking back at it, it feels like a too big change to go through just before the release. |

This doesn't look right to me. It doesn't impact only dune's own tests as other users sometimes also run dune inside dune. We could add a special version for such cases, for instance (lang dune 2.1+dev)
. In this particular case, we might as well put the feature back in 2.0.0.
Shall we have a test mode perhaps? I think this is still a useful feature to have.

Yes, that is indeed the case. However, I’m not sure how to do this without introducing the stamp file and that has its own caveats. I believe that we should be able to address this issue once we have a proper alias database. Do you think making this change later will break user code down the line? I thought that changing this would be unobservable to user rules.

No objection for allowing it in 2.0. I’ll make a PR.

@diml is making a good point. I'll revert it, but I think we should probably make an alternative at some point.
Incremental compilation is not the only way to observe the differences: if you're building with sandboxing then the contents of the sandbox will also reflect the deps. |
I pushed the revert to master, and only then I realized that I broke tests, after which the simplest fix was to move the feature to 2.0.0, which I pushed to master too: 84b7fde. |

Programs that use this feature can be run by a new action (dynamic-run <progn> ...). (ocaml/dune#2635, @staronj, @aalekseyev) - Stop installing the `ocaml-syntax-shims` binary. In order to use `future_syntax`, one now need to depend on the `ocaml-syntax-shims` package (ocaml/dune#2654, @diml) - Add support for dependencies that are re-exported. Such dependencies are marked with`re_export` and will automatically be provided to users of a library (ocaml/dune#2605, @rgrinberg) - Add a `deprecated_library_name` stanza to redirect old names after a library has been renamed (ocaml/dune#2528, @diml) - Error out when a `preprocessor_deps` field is present but not `preprocess` field is. It is a warning with Dune 1.x projects (ocaml/dune#2660, @Julow) - Dune will use `-output-complete-exe` instead of `-custom` when compiling self-contained bytecode executables whenever this options is available (OCaml version >= 4.10) (ocaml/dune#2692, @nojb) - Add action `(with-accepted-exit-codes <pred> <action>)` to specify the set of successful exit codes of `<action>`. `<pred>` is specified using the predicate language.

The names declared here can be used in the (old_public_name) field of (deprecated_library_name) stanza. These names are interpreted as library names (not prefixed by a package name) and appropiate redirections are setup in their META files. This feaure is meant to migrate old libraries which do not follow Dune's convention of prefixing libraries with the package name. (ocaml/dune#2696, @nojb) - The fields `license`, `authors`, `maintainers`, `source`, `bug_reports`, `homepage`, and `documentation` of `dune-project` can now be overriden on a per-package basis.

This speeds up builds at the cost of building unnecessary artifacts in some cases. Some of these extra artifacts can fail to built, so this is a breaking change. (ocaml/dune#2268, @rgrinberg) - Do not put the `<package>.install` files in the source tree unless `-p` or `--promote-install-files` is passed on the command line (ocaml/dune#2329, @diml) - Change `implicit_transive_deps` to be false. Implicit transitive deps now must be manually enabled (ocaml/dune#2306, @rgrinberg) - Compilation units of user defined executables are now mangled by default. This is done to prevent the accidental collision with library dependencies of the executable. (ocaml/dune#2364, fixes ocaml/dune#2292, @rgrinberg) - Enable `(explicit_js_mode)` by default. (ocaml/dune#1941, @nojb) - Add an option to clear the console in-between builds with `--terminal-persistence=clear-on-rebuild` - Stop symlinking object files to main directory for stanzas defined `jbuild` files (ocaml/dune#2440, @rgrinberg) - Library names are now validated in a strict fashion. Previously, invalid names would be allowed for unwrapped libraries (ocaml/dune#2442, @rgrinberg) - mli only modules must now be explicitly declared. This was previously a warning and is now an error. (ocaml/dune#2442, @rgrinberg) - Modules filtered out from the module list via the Ordered Set Language must now be actual modules. (ocaml/dune#2442, @rgrinberg) - Actions which introduce targets where new targets are forbidden (e.g. preprocessing) are now an error instead of a warning. (ocaml/dune#2442, @rgrinberg) - No longer install a `jbuilder` binary. (ocaml/dune#2441, @diml) - Stub names are no longer allowed relative paths. This was previously a warning and is now an error (ocaml/dune#2443, @rgrinberg). - Define (paths ...) fields in (context ...) definitions in order to set or extend any PATH-like variable in the context environment. (ocaml/dune#2426, @nojb) - The `diff` action will always normalize newlines before diffing. Perviousy, it would not do this normalization for rules defined in jbuild files. (ocaml/dune#2457, @rgrinberg) - Modules may no longer belong to more than one stanza. This was previously allowed only in stanzas defined in `jbuild` files. (ocaml/dune#2458, @rgrinberg) - Remove support for `jbuild-ignore` files. They have been replaced by the the `dirs` stanza in `dune` files. (ocaml/dune#2456, @rgrinberg) - Add a new config option `sandboxing_preference`, the cli argument `--sandbox`, and the dep spec `sandbox` in dune language. These let the user control the level of sandboxing done by dune per rule and globally. The rule specification takes precedence. The global configuration merely specifies the default. (ocaml/dune#2213, @aalekseyev, @diml) - Remove support for old style subsystems. Dune will now emit a warning to reinstall the library with the old style subsystem. (ocaml/dune#2480, @rgrinberg) - Add action (with-stdin-from <file> <action>) to redirect input from <file> when performing <action>. (ocaml/dune#2487, @nojb) - Change the automatically generated odoc index to only list public modules. This only affects unwrapped libraries (ocaml/dune#2479, @rgrinberg) - Set up formatting rules by default.

(ocaml/dune#2449, fixes ocaml/dune#1220, @rgrinberg) - Include building stubs in `@check` rules. (@rgrinberg, ocaml/dune#2530) - Get rid of ad-hoc rules for guessing the version. Dune now only relies on the version written in the `dune-project` file and no longer read `VERSION` or similar files (ocaml/dune#2541, @diml) - In `(diff? x y)` action, require `x` to exist and register a dependency on that file. (ocaml/dune#2486, @aalekseyev) - On Windows, an .exe suffix is no longer added implicitly to binary names that already end in .exe. Second, when resolving binary names, .opt variants are no longer chosen automatically. (ocaml/dune#2543, @nojb) - Make `(diff? x y)` move the correction file (`y`) away from the build directory to promotion staging area. This makes corrections work with sandboxing and in general reduces build directory pollution. (ocaml/dune#2486, @aalekseyev, fixes ocaml/dune#2482) - `c_flags`, `c_names` and `cxx_names` are now supported in `executable` and `executables` stanzas.

There's also a corresponding `DUNE_DISABLE_PROMOTION` environment variable. (ocaml/dune#2588, fix ocaml/dune#2568, @rgrinberg) - Add a `forbidden_libraries` field to prevent some library from being linked in an executable.

Such dependencies are marked with`re_export` and will automatically be provided to users of a library (ocaml/dune#2605, @rgrinberg) - Add a `deprecated_library_name` stanza to redirect old names after a library has been renamed (ocaml/dune#2528, @diml) - Error out when a `preprocessor_deps` field is present but not `preprocess` field is. It is a warning with Dune 1.x projects (ocaml/dune#2660, @Julow) - Dune will use `-output-complete-exe` instead of `-custom` when compiling self-contained bytecode executables whenever this options is available (OCaml version >= 4.10) (ocaml/dune#2692, @nojb) - Add action `(with-accepted-exit-codes <pred> <action>)` to specify the set of successful exit codes of `<action>`. `<pred>` is specified using the predicate language. (ocaml/dune#2699, @nojb) - Do not setup rules for disabled libraries (ocaml/dune#2491, fixes ocaml/dune#2272, @bobot) - Configurator: filter out empty flags from `pkg-config` (ocaml/dune#2716, @AltGr) - `no_keep_locs` is a no-op for projects that use `lang dune` older than 2.0. In projects where the language is at least `2.0`, the field is now forbidden. (ocaml/dune#2752, fixes ocaml/dune#2747, @rgrinberg) - Extend support for foreign sources and archives via the `(foreign_library ...)` stanza as well as the `(foreign_stubs ...)` and `(foreign_archives ...)` fields. (ocaml/dune#2659, RFC ocaml/dune#2650, @snowleopard) - Add (deprecated_package_names) field to (package) declaration in dune-project. The names declared here can be used in the (old_public_name) field of (deprecated_library_name) stanza. These names are interpreted as library names (not prefixed by a package name) and appropiate redirections are setup in their META files. This feaure is meant to migrate old libraries which do not follow Dune's convention of prefixing libraries with the package name. (ocaml/dune#2696, @nojb) - The fields `license`, `authors`, `maintainers`, `source`, `bug_reports`, `homepage`, and `documentation` of `dune-project` can now be overriden on a per-package basis. (ocaml/dune#2774, @nojb) - Change the default `modes` field of executables to `(mode exe)`. If one wants to build a bytecode program, it now needs to be explicitly requested via `(modes byte exe)`. (ocaml/dune#2851, @diml) - Allow `ccomp_type` as a variable for evaluating `enabled_if`. (ocaml/dune#2855, @dra27, @rgrinberg) - Stricter validation of file names in `select`. The file names of conditional sources must match the prefix and the extension of the resultant filename. (ocaml/dune#2867, @rgrinberg) - Add flag `disable_dynamically_linked_foreign_archives` to the workspace file. If the flag is set to `true` then: (i) when installing libraries, we do not install dynamic foreign archives `dll*.so`; (ii) when building executables in the `byte` mode, we statically link in foreign archives into the runtime system; (iii) we do not generate any `dll*.so` rules. (ocaml/dune#2864, @snowleopard) - Reimplement the bootstrap procedure. The new procedure is faster and should no longer stack overflow (ocaml/dune#2854, @dra27, @diml)
…lugin, dune-private-libs and dune-glob (2.0.0) CHANGES: - Remove existing destination files in `install` before installing the new ones. (ocaml/dune#2885, fixes ocaml/dune#2883, @bschommer) - The `action` field in the `alias` stanza is not available starting `lang dune 2.0`. The `alias` field in the `rule` stanza is a replacement. (ocaml/dune#2846, fixes 2681, @rgrinberg) - Introduce `alias` and `package` fields to the `rule` stanza. This is the preferred way of attaching rules to aliases. (ocaml/dune#2744, @rgrinberg) - Add field `(optional)` for executable stanzas (ocaml/dune#2463, fixes ocaml/dune#2433, @bobot) - Infer targets for rule stanzas expressed in long form (ocaml/dune#2494, fixes ocaml/dune#2469, @NathanReb) - Indicate the progress of the initial file tree loading (ocaml/dune#2459, fixes ocaml/dune#2374, @bobot) - Build `.cm[ox]` files for executables more eagerly. This speeds up builds at the cost of building unnecessary artifacts in some cases. Some of these extra artifacts can fail to built, so this is a breaking change. (ocaml/dune#2268, @rgrinberg) - Do not put the `<package>.install` files in the source tree unless `-p` or `--promote-install-files` is passed on the command line (ocaml/dune#2329, @diml) - Compilation units of user defined executables are now mangled by default. This is done to prevent the accidental collision with library dependencies of the executable. (ocaml/dune#2364, fixes ocaml/dune#2292, @rgrinberg) - Enable `(explicit_js_mode)` by default. (ocaml/dune#1941, @nojb) - Add an option to clear the console in-between builds with `--terminal-persistence=clear-on-rebuild` - Stop symlinking object files to main directory for stanzas defined `jbuild` files (ocaml/dune#2440, @rgrinberg) - Library names are now validated in a strict fashion. Previously, invalid names would be allowed for unwrapped libraries (ocaml/dune#2442, @rgrinberg) - mli only modules must now be explicitly declared. This was previously a warning and is now an error. (ocaml/dune#2442, @rgrinberg) - Modules filtered out from the module list via the Ordered Set Language must now be actual modules. (ocaml/dune#2442, @rgrinberg) - Actions which introduce targets where new targets are forbidden (e.g. preprocessing) are now an error instead of a warning. (ocaml/dune#2442, @rgrinberg) - No longer install a `jbuilder` binary. (ocaml/dune#2441, @diml) - Stub names are no longer allowed relative paths. This was previously a warning and is now an error (ocaml/dune#2443, @rgrinberg). - Define (paths ...) fields in (context ...) definitions in order to set or extend any PATH-like variable in the context environment. (ocaml/dune#2426, @nojb) - The `diff` action will always normalize newlines before diffing. Perviousy, it would not do this normalization for rules defined in jbuild files. (ocaml/dune#2457, @rgrinberg) - Modules may no longer belong to more than one stanza. This was previously allowed only in stanzas defined in `jbuild` files. (ocaml/dune#2458, @rgrinberg) - Remove support for `jbuild-ignore` files. They have been replaced by the the `dirs` stanza in `dune` files. (ocaml/dune#2456, @rgrinberg) - Add a new config option `sandboxing_preference`, the cli argument `--sandbox`, and the dep spec `sandbox` in dune language. These let the user control the level of sandboxing done by dune per rule and globally. The rule specification takes precedence. The global configuration merely specifies the default. (ocaml/dune#2213, @aalekseyev, @diml) - Remove support for old style subsystems. Dune will now emit a warning to reinstall the library with the old style subsystem. (ocaml/dune#2480, @rgrinberg) - Add action (with-stdin-from <file> <action>) to redirect input from <file> when performing <action>. (ocaml/dune#2487, @nojb) - Change the automatically generated odoc index to only list public modules. This only affects unwrapped libraries (ocaml/dune#2479, @rgrinberg) - Set up formatting rules by default. They can be configured through a new `(formatting)` stanza in `dune-project` (ocaml/dune#2347, fixes ocaml/dune#2315, @emillon) - Change default target from `@install` to `@all`. (ocaml/dune#2449, fixes ocaml/dune#1220, @rgrinberg) - Include building stubs in `@check` rules. (@rgrinberg, ocaml/dune#2530) - Get rid of ad-hoc rules for guessing the version. Dune now only relies on the version written in the `dune-project` file and no longer read `VERSION` or similar files (ocaml/dune#2541, @diml) - In `(diff? x y)` action, require `x` to exist and register a dependency on that file. (ocaml/dune#2486, @aalekseyev) - On Windows, an .exe suffix is no longer added implicitly to binary names that already end in .exe. Second, when resolving binary names, .opt variants are no longer chosen automatically. (ocaml/dune#2543, @nojb) - Make `(diff? x y)` move the correction file (`y`) away from the build directory to promotion staging area. This makes corrections work with sandboxing and in general reduces build directory pollution. (ocaml/dune#2486, @aalekseyev, fixes ocaml/dune#2482) - `c_flags`, `c_names` and `cxx_names` are now supported in `executable` and `executables` stanzas. (ocaml/dune#2562, @nojb) Note: this feature has been subsequently extended into a separate `foreign_stubs` field. (ocaml/dune#2659, RFC ocaml/dune#2650, @snowleopard) - Remove git integration from `$ dune upgrade` (ocaml/dune#2565, @rgrinberg) - Add a `--disable-promotion` to disable all modification to the source directory. There's also a corresponding `DUNE_DISABLE_PROMOTION` environment variable. (ocaml/dune#2588, fix ocaml/dune#2568, @rgrinberg) - Add a `forbidden_libraries` field to prevent some library from being linked in an executable. This help detecting who accidently pulls in `unix` for instance (ocaml/dune#2570, @diml) - Fix incorrect error message when a variable is expanded in static context: `%{lib:lib:..}` when the library does not exist. (ocaml/dune#2597, fix ocaml/dune#1541, @rgrinberg) - Add `--sections` option to `$ dune install` to install subsections of .install files. This is useful for installing only the binaries in a workspace for example. (ocaml/dune#2609, fixes ocaml/dune#2554, @rgrinberg) - Drop support for `jbuild` and `jbuild-ignore` files (ocaml/dune#2607, @diml) - Add a `dune-action-plugin` library for describing dependencies direcly in the executable source. Programs that use this feature can be run by a new action (dynamic-run <progn> ...). (ocaml/dune#2635, @staronj, @aalekseyev) - Stop installing the `ocaml-syntax-shims` binary. In order to use `future_syntax`, one now need to depend on the `ocaml-syntax-shims` package (ocaml/dune#2654, @diml) - Add support for dependencies that are re-exported.
