Commit Message

Aleksei Vetrov via Libabigail Jan. 1, 2020, midnight UTC
  If multiple KMI whitelists are specified, either by passing
--kmi-whitelist several times or by having multiple whitelist sections
in the whitelist files, the generated suppressions are created as an
intersection of symbols. That is rather unusual, as whitelisting should
rather work additive. That means that the symbols (or expressions
thereof) defined across several sections or files shall be considered a
union of symbols. This patch combines the whitelist parsing to create
exactly one function_suppression and one variable suppression. A test
case has been added to ensure the functionality is working.

Please note, migrating the existing code to this new functionality is
done in a separate commit.

	* include/abg-tools-utils.h
	(gen_suppr_spec_from_kernel_abi_whitelists): New function.
	* src/abg-tools-utils.cc
	(gen_suppr_spec_from_kernel_abi_whitelists): Likewise.
	* tests/.gitignore: Ignore new test executable.
	* tests/Makefile.am: Add new test executable.
	* tests/data/test-kmi-whitelist/whitelist-with-another-single-entry:
	New test input file.
	* tests/data/test-kmi-whitelist/whitelist-with-duplicate-entry:
	Likewise.
	* tests/data/test-kmi-whitelist/whitelist-with-single-entry:

The idea of the patch is great IMHO thank you for working on it.

I just have a few nits to raise, mostly stylistic, here and there.

When breaking a "long" line that contains a fonction declaration, please
do it like this:

suppr::suppressions_type
gen_suppr_spec_from_kernel_abi_whitelists
   (const std::vector<string>& abi_whitelist_paths);

or like this:

suppr::suppressions_type
gen_suppr_spec_from_kernel_abi_whitelists(int foo,
					  char bar);


This is for the sake of consistency with the existing code base,
because in the grand scheme of things, there is nothing wrong with the
way you wrote it.

Likewise for breaking the long line:

gen_suppr_spec_from_kernel_abi_whitelists
   (const std::vector<std::string>& abi_whitelist_paths)

> +{
> +
> +  std::vector<std::string> whitelisted_names;
> +  for (std::vector<std::string>::const_iterator path_iter
> +       = abi_whitelist_paths.begin(),

The style used in the rest of the codebase for assignation statement is
to keep the '=' on the same line as the left-hand-side operand; i.e:

> +  for (std::vector<std::string>::const_iterator path_iter > = 
            abi_whitelist_paths.begin(),


Also, when long lines are involved in the 'for' statement like that,
the convention used in the code base is to have the init, condition
and increment statements of the for loop start on their own line.  So
that for loop would look like:

  for (std::vector<std::string>::const_iterator path_iter =
       abi_whitelist_paths.begin(),
       path_end = abi_whitelist_paths.end();
       path_iter != path_end;
       ++path_iter)
    {

[...]

Likewise, please keep the '=' on the same line as the left-hand-side

Likewise, loop style.

Likewise, loop style.

Likewise, equality.

The style of breaking the function call accross several lines would
be:

    whitelisted_names.erase(std::unique(whitelisted_names.begin(),
					whitelisted_names.end()),
			    whitelisted_names.end());

> +
> +      // Build the regular expression to suppress non whitelisted symbols.

I think, a more accurate way to put this would be to say something
like:

	 // Build a regular expression representing the union of all
	 // the function and variable names expressed in the white list.

> +      regex_ss << "^";
> +      std::copy(whitelisted_names.begin(), whitelisted_names.end(),

Same line breaking style around function call expression.

OK.

This is OK to commit to master with the comments above addressed.

Thanks a lot for working on this!
