- Renamed struct_.py -> structs.py again.
- Removed lfs.csv, instead prefering script specific csv files.
- Added *-diff make rules for quick comparison against a previous
result, results are now implicitly written on each run.
For example, `make code` creates lfs.code.csv and prints the summary, which
can be followed by `make code-diff` to compare changes against the saved
lfs.code.csv without overwriting.
- Added nargs=? support for -s and -S, now uses a per-result _sort
attribute to decide sort if fields are unspecified.
With more scripts generating CSV files this moves most CSV manipulation
into summary.py, which can now handle more or less any arbitrary CSV
file with arbitrary names and fields.
This also includes a bunch of additional, probably unnecessary, tweaks:
- summary.py/coverage.py use a custom fractional type for encoding
fractions, this will also be used for test counts.
- Added a smaller diff output for size scripts with the --percent flag.
- Added line and hit info to coverage.py's CSV files.
- Added --tree flag to stack.py to show only the call tree without
other noise.
- Renamed structs.py to struct.py.
- Changed a few flags around for consistency between size/summary scripts.
- Added `make sizes` alias.
- Added `make lfs.code.csv` rules
These scripts can't easily share the common logic, but separating
field details from the print/merge/csv logic should make the common
part of these scripts much easier to create/modify going forward.
This also tweaked the behavior of summary.py slightly.
A small mistake in test.py's control flow meant the failing test job
would succesfully kill all other test jobs, but then humorously start
up a new process to continue testing.
Avoids redundant counting of structs shared in multiple .c files, which
is very common. This is different from the other scripts,
code.py/data.py/stack.py, but this difference makes sense as struct
declarations have a very different lifetime.
This requires parsing an additional section of the dwarfinfo (--dwarf=rawlines)
to get the declaration file info.

Interpreting the results of ./scripts/structs.py reporting is a bit more
complicated than other scripts, structs aren't used in a consistent
manner so the cost of a large struct depends on the context in which it
is used.
But that being said, there really isn't much reason to report
internal-only structs. These structs really only exist for type-checking
in internal algorithms, and their cost will end up reflected in other RAM
measurements, either stack, heap, or other.
Using errors=replace in python utf-8 decoding makes these scripts more
resilient to underlying errors, rather than just throwing an unhelpfully
generic decode error.
A full summary of static measurements (code size, stack usage, etc) can now
be found with:
make summary
This is done through the combination of a new ./scripts/summary.py
script and the ability of existing scripts to merge into existing csv
files, allowing multiple results to be merged either in a pipeline, or
in parallel with a single ./script/summary.py call.
The ./scripts/summary.py script can also be used to quickly compare
different builds or configurations. This is a proper implementation
of a similar but hacky shell script that has already been very useful
for making optimization decisions:
$ ./scripts/structs.py new.csv -d old.csv --summary
name (2 added, 0 removed) code stack structs
TOTAL 28648 (-2.7%) 2448 1012
Also some other small tweaks to scripts:
- Removed state saving diff rules. This isn't the most useful way to
handle comparing changes.
- Added short flags for --summary (-Y) and --files (-F), since these
are quite often used.
- Added -L/--depth argument to show dependencies for scripts/stack.py,
this replaces calls.py
- Additional internal restructuring to avoid repeated code
- Removed incorrect diff percentage when there is no actual size
- Consistent percentage rendering in test.py
This required a patch to the --diff flag for the scripts to ignore
a missing file. This enables the useful one liner for making comparisons
with potentially missing previous versions:
./scripts/code.py lfs.o -d lfs.o.code.csv -o lfs.o.code.csv
function (0 added, 0 removed) old new diff
TOTAL 25476 25476 +0
One downside, these previous files are easy to delete as a part of make
clean, which limits their usefulness for comparing configuration
changes...
