build: gyp node_base #23439

refack · 2018-10-12T03:08:07Z

Motivation:

node_base as an independant target, that we can run just to make sure the code in /src/ compiles.
Easy to compose with code_cache_stub.cc to build an mkcodecache exe. Then later relink with the generated `code_cache_gen.cc.
Easier to run "whole program" analysis
Move to /src/node_base.gypi to make node.gyp easier to read.
Maybe solve AIX specific linking issue

side-fixes:

eliminate rename_node_bin_win by naming the node lib file on Windows libnode.lib
enable PCH for the node sources
explicitly define Environment::context() so it can safely reside in two translation units. (otherwise undefined behavior emerges)
minor .h cleanup to ensure node_lib builds correctly.

Checklist

make -j4 test (UNIX), or vcbuild test (Windows) passes
documentation is changed or added
commit message follows commit guidelines

If I could get some review, this refactoring makes it for a much better experience in MSVS. It's now possible to only compile node_base and get a result within a minute, if you changes compile of not.

Which is a linking issue...

Which means you can't "force load" with libtool.

@refack Any more details on what the linking issue was/is?

Any more details on what the linking issue was/is?

There's a bunch of code in node.gyp that specific to AIX

I would like to fold it into the new node_base target...

@refack I'm assuming the presence of the dontland! commit means this is still in progress and added the label.

refack · 2018-10-31T00:23:09Z

Yeah. I thought I had this figured out, but it keeps surprising me with new edge cases...
(the dontland! is to overcome compiler OOM issues of Windows 🤦‍♂️)

If you have the time I'd love some review on the first few commits, they are pretty complete:

Create node_base - 3a7fdce
Add more pre-compiled headers on Windows -27d769b
Only do LTCG for the node exe - 3521f8a
Refactor ETW and DTRACE gyp - 2ce719d

refack · 2018-10-31T00:24:20Z

Good news, I can now do a full (cold cache) windows build in 20% less time, and with clcache and warm cache, full windows build in < 4 minutes.
