feat: shared headers, `rules_cc` support #221

sgammon · 2024-01-02T05:46:03Z

Summary

This changeset adds out_headers and additional_outputs, which, together, allow a developer to add additional outputs to a regular native_image build.

Because a header is generated per C entrypoint class, the developer needs to be able to declare as many as they want.

Additionally, a CcInfo provider needs to be returned from the native_image target to facilitate downsream support for rules_cc targets.

+    # and `graal_isolate_dynamic.h` files are included. additional headers can be added by the `out_headers`
+    # attribute.
+    if ctx.attr.shared_library and ctx.attr.default_outputs:
+        additional_outputs.append(_GRAALVM_ISOLATE_HEADER)


Is there any case in which adding these headers would be problematic for a shared library build? If not, I think we should not add default_outputs for now. I am a bit worried of native_image gaining too many knobs that depend on each other.

these headers are produced automatically by the native-image build -- so if they aren't added here, they end up as undeclared outputs

Yeah, I'm in favor of adding them here. But maybe we could just get rid of default_outputs and have this behavior in place unconditionally?

I guess I'm concerned about multiple shared library targets within the same package, but that would be something the user has to deal with anyway?

In my downstream test codebase, I ended up needing to manage graal_*.h headers manually, because that codebase expected angle syntax for importing headers. So I needed to pull them into their own cc_library target with an include = path set. In that case, I flip default_outputs to False.

If the headers are considered outputs unconditionally by the rule, I worry there would be no easy way to prevent a file collision under this use case. Maybe I'm missing something.

The default functionality for the rules seems to align with including them as defaults, otherwise a user would have to declare them unconditionally, so I agree this isn't ideal and would love a better way.

FWIW I think I may merge additional_outputs and out_headers, but those may need to remain separate so that we can attach headers to providers. We could also sniff the filename, if that's preferable let me know. Open to your advice on all aspects above.

Could we separate the headers by having them emitted into a subdirectory? E.g., if we declare the headers for target foo with package relative path foo/graal_something.h, we can have multiple native images coexist in a package and also provide a way to disambiguate headers via the prefix.

I can check for hidden/expert native-image flags, but AFAIK those are calculated from the binary name, so they are already under the user's control via executable_name. I'm not sure about a subfolder with executable_name, I think we'd have to slice that and append it to -H:Path, because the binary name is passed separately from the output prefix (to native-image).

In any case, I agree with you, I'd like to find a cleaner way to do it.

(Lots of this is telling me that a dedicated shared_native_image rule might be a good idea, by the way, because the shared library function of native-image demands radically different Bazel behavior than an executable, as evidenced by executable_name being a little wonky in this case. Just food for later thought, your ideas are always welcome of course.)

Yes, I also like a dedicated rule better. For example, such a rule could be marked as non-executable and could also statically declare that it emits CcSharedLibraryInfo.

Sorry, to clarify, the regular header names are under the user's control, and follow the pattern of the executable_name (an executable name of libsample gets libsample.so and libsample.h, etc).

The standard GraalVM headers, i.e. graal_isolate.h and family, are generated unconditionally by native-image at those names. I don't see a way to override those.

Could we prepend foo/ to shared_library_name and then have a separate action symlink it to the location without the prefix? That would get us prefixed headers without the user having to refer to the shared library with the prefix.

example/shared/BUILD.bazel

+    name = "mylib",
+    deps = [":java"],
+    strict = True,
+    lib_name = "libmylib",  # becomes `libmylib.so`, `libmylib.dylib`, etc.


It would customarily be called mylib.dll on Windows though. How about letting the user specify just mylib? This matches the behavior of cc_* rules.

libmylib is literal, so users can specify mylib if they want to. Are you saying I should auto-add/manage the prefix? I'm happy to do so but I figured users would want it under their control.

Is this nesting intentional?

Yes, because it allows references like graalvm.catalog.SDK.NATIVEIMAGE in the artifact system

These targets may go away soon, we should define our own ones.

Should I pull from @platforms instead? They ship default constraints, right?

Most test rule names will end with test anyway. Do we need the suffix?

No, I don't think we need it. Will drop
