OI's build is challenging and has often been a problem for the Open Source
community. It requires an extremely specific set of dependencies that are very
hard to achieve on most systems. There are frequent breakages, like when
updating to CentOS Stream 9, or when trying to update the CI's clang from
clang-12 to clang-15 - OI requires the clang libraries to be version 15 but
can't be compiled with it on the CI!
This changes provides a mostly working build environment with `nix`. This
environment is pinned to a specific nixpkgs revision using `flake.lock`, and
only updates when we explicitly tell it to.
Summary of changes:
- Update CMakeLists.txt required version to 3.24. This allows specifying
`FIND_PACKAGE_ARGS` in `FetchContent`, meaning we can use system packages.
This is available on most up to date distros (3.30.2 is current).
- Extends `flake.nix` to be able to build OI. Adds instructions for building
and developing OI using `nix`.
- Partially runs the tests in GitHub Actions. A huge amount must be excluded
because of incompatibilites between the clangStdenv compiler and drgn. We
have similar, though fewer, issues when building with the clang-12/libstdcxx
mix on the Ubuntu 22.04 CircleCI, though this is at least reproducible.
- Updates CircleCI to build CMake from source as we don't have a newer image
available. Also add some newly found dependencies (not sure how it was
working without them before).
Test plan:
This change requires less testing than previous build related changes because
it deprecates most of the build types.
- The internal BUCK build is unaffected. No special testing.
- The semi-internal CMake build is gone. Use Nix.
- The Nix build for clang-15 and some tests are continuously tested in GitHub
actions.
- Tested the set of Nix commands in the README. All work except the one that
points to GitHub as this must be merged first.
- The existing CircleCI runs on Ubuntu 20.04 are maintained.
- Unable to test the new `test-report.yml` as it must be merged due to the
permissions it needs. Will follow up with testing after this is merged. See:
https://github.com/dorny/test-reporter?tab=readme-ov-file#recommended-setup-for-public-repositories
The list of exclusions for GitHub Actions/nix testing is currently very long, I
think 29% of the tests. This should be stable and reproducible though, and
likely needs deep changes to OI to fix. That's why fixes are excluded from this
PR. It's all to do with the forked drgn not being able to parse clang's newer
DWARF output, and can't be fixed by rolling back as we required a relatively
new libcxx.
Summary:
oilgen: migrate to source parsing
Using debug information generated from partial source (that is, not the final
binary) has been insufficient to generally generate OIL code.
A particular example is pointers to templates:
```cpp
#include <oi/oi.h>
template <typename T>
struct Foo {
T t;
};
template <typename T>
struct Bar {
Foo<T>& f;
};
void foo(const Bar<int>& b) {
oi::introspect(b);
}
```
The pointer/reference to `Foo<int>` appears in DWARF with
`DW_AT_declaration(true)` because it could be specialised before its usage.
However, with OIL, we are creating an implicit usage site in the
`oi::introspect` call that the compiler is unable to see.
This change reworks OILGen to work from a Clang command line rather than debug
information. We setup and run a compiler on the source, giving us access to an
AST and Semantic Analyser. We then:
- Find the `oi::introspect` template.
- Iterate through each of its callsites for their type.
- Run `ClangTypeParser::parse` on each type.
- Run codegen.
- Compile into an object file.
Having access to the semantic analyser allows us to forcefully complete a type,
as it would be if it was used in the initial code.
Test Plan:

Summary:
Extend the multiple config files system to OILGen, the piece it was originally designed for. This allows for specifying additional configs which say which keys of maps to capture.

Summary: Current output of OILGen is always without debug. This hides things like the printed type graph from the end user, which would be useful in the logs of a build failure. Also rename the `-d` flag which was for jumping JIT code to `-j`, as `-d` is used in all the other tools for debug output level.
Summary:
Update to clang-15 compiler and libraries as clang-12 is ancient.
The changes to oilgen are necessary because the new internal toolchain is being more picky about linking PIC to PIC. In certain modes we build with PIC, but try to link a non-PIC oilgen artifact. Add the ability to build the oilgen artifacts with PIC which sorts this.

As we now store ContainerInfo objects in OICodeGen::Config, we can not
copy it any more. Change all places that took copies to take const
references instead.
The copy in OICodeGen modified membersToStub, the contents of which form
part of OICache's hash. However, as OICache also previously had its own
copy, it would not have been OICodeGen's modifications.
