Use find_library for ncurses
ClosedPublic

Authored by haampie on Aug 12 2020, 2:00 AM.

Details

Summary

Currently it is hard to avoid having LLVM link to the system install of ncurses, since it uses check_library_exists to find e.g. libtinfo and not find_library or find_package.

With this change the ncurses lib is found with find_library, which also considers CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH. This solves an issue for the spack package manager, where we want to use the zlib installed by spack, and spack provides the CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH for it.

This is a similar change as https://reviews.llvm.org/D79219, which just landed in master.

You could simplify this a little by using TERMINFO_LIBS directly.

Simplified detection a bit

Thanks, I made it even simpler

CMake already has FindCurses module so we could consider using find_package(Curses), unfortunately it doesn't define the imported target. I'd also prefer replacing HAVE_TERMINFO with LLVM_ENABLE_TERMINFO everywhere for consistency with zlib or libxml2 (see D84563).

I also considered set(CURSES_NEED_NCURSES true) and then find_package(Curses), but indeed CURSES_LIBRARIES is the only thing to work with, which lists too many libraries. I think find_library is cleanest. Thanks for the LLVM_ENABLE_TERMINFO, I can add that change.

haampie updated this revision to Diff 285307.Aug 13 2020, 3:19 AM

Use LLVM_ENABLE_TERMINFO and make it respect FORCE_ON.

Also add the same logic to compiler-rt, which was still using check_library_exists.

I wonder what the logic is / should be here. lldbCore links against Support already, which includes terminfo when LLVM_ENABLE_TERMINFO was set. Should I just remove if(LLVM_ENABLE_TERMINFO) here?

If LLVM_ENABLE_TERMINFO is set you should pass REQUIRED to find_library and have CMake print the error rather than dealing with the error handling ourself.

use REQUIRED when FORCE_ON

One more comment about the duplicated find_library line, but otherwise this LGTM.

llvm/cmake/config-ix.cmake

Sorry to keep bothering you with these nits, but you could simplify this a bit, either by moving terminfo tinfo curses ncurses ncursesw into a variable and using that in the repeated find_library statement, or better, you could set a variable like this:

if(LLVM_ENABLE_TERMINFO STREQUAL FORCE_ON)
  set(MAYBE_REQUIRED REQUIRED)
else()
  set(MAYBE_REQUIRED)        
endif()
if (LLVM_ENABLE_TERMINFO)
  find_library(TERMINFO_LIB NAMES terminfo tinfo curses ncurses ncursesw ${MAYBE_REQUIRED})
endif()

It looks like this change is causing a "regression" for MLIR tests:

https://mlir.llvm.org/getting_started/

git clone https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project.git
mkdir llvm-project/build
cd llvm-project/build
cmake -G Ninja ../llvm \
   -DLLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS=mlir \
   -DLLVM_BUILD_EXAMPLES=ON \
   -DLLVM_TARGETS_TO_BUILD="X86;NVPTX;AMDGPU" \
   -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
   -DLLVM_ENABLE_ASSERTIONS=ON \
#  -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=clang -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang++ -DLLVM_ENABLE_LLD=ON

cmake --build . --target check-mlir

Build results:

This seems to have injected a link-time dependency on setupterm etc. even if you configure CMake with LLVM_ENABLE_TERMINFO=OFF (which was not the case before) -- this is breaking some builds of Halide as a result. (Should the #idef LLVM_ENABLE_TERMINFO actually if #if instead of #ifdef?)

Please consider reverting this change if a fix-forward isn't available soon.

In my local build of LLVM, I end up with

#define LLVM_ENABLE_TERMINFO 1

in the generated config.h file, even thought I configured LLVM's CMake build with -D LLVM_ENABLE_TERMINFO=OFF -- surely this is a bug.

(fyi, prior to this commit, the corresponding line was /* #undef HAVE_TERMINFO */)

@srj you are completely right, the find_library lost its if (LLVM_ENABLE_TERMINFO) when the last review comments were addressed. Let me submit a patch asap

@srj could you please try / review https://reviews.llvm.org/D86173 for a fix for your problem?

@gribozavr2: can you try https://reviews.llvm.org/D86134? It should fix your issue, as well as the same issue w.r.t. the ZLIB changes of https://reviews.llvm.org/D79219 on macOS.

It seems the patch is quite problematic. Maybe reverting it at this point and making another approach is the way to go?

@gkistanova It's true that this change has lead to more issues I could ever imagine, but I think the link you provided is the last remaining problem.

Pinging @phosek for a similar issue w.r.t. zlib: since https://reviews.llvm.org/D79219 zlib gets disabled on static builds of LLVM. The reason is find_package(ZLIB) finds a shared library, and check_symbol_exists(compress2 zlib.h HAVE_ZLIB) tries to statically link to that -- it can't so zlib is disabled. I guess that's a regression too?

What would be the best way forward @phosek? A quick fix for ncurses is to add a simple check_symbol_exists test too, but that would in practice just disable ncurses in static builds. And additionally we could find static libs by adding explicit names like libtinfo.a to find_library when LLVM_BUILD_STATIC=ON. This trick won't help for zlib though, the find_library stuff is hidden inside find_package, and there is no way to target static libs it seems.

@haampie find_package and find_library uses CMAKE_FIND_LIBRARY_SUFFIXES to determine the suffix of the library (the default is ".so" ".a" which is why it always picks shared library). I think we should extend this block https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/master/llvm/CMakeLists.txt#L626 and filter out CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_SUFFIX from CMAKE_FIND_LIBRARY_SUFFIXES when LLVM_BUILD_STATIC is enabled which will handle this case globally.

haampie updated this revision to Diff 288864.Aug 30 2020, 11:57 AM

Another take on this isuse, incorporating @phosek's comment on making find_library not find shared libs when compiling with LLVM_BUILD_STATIC=ON, and making sure that get_system_libname does not add empty items to a regex capture group, as CMake's regex engine does not support this.

@gkistanova, can you test this on your build bot with the static llvm build?
