Summary0000256: wmake and Allwmake scripts should abort on *first* error
DescriptionWhen people try to compile OpenFOAM and something goes wrong, they usually only notice after a very long time, and then report the wrong error message (e.g. see #248). Often they think something is wrong with OpenFOAM, because the error says that the "OpenFOAM" library can't be found, or similar. It would be good if the wmake and all the Allwmake scripts used 'set -e', causing the build to abort on first error. Alternatively, one might make this conditional via a WM_CONTINUE_ON_ERROR variable.
Additional InformationInserting a line like

[ -n "${WM_CONTINUE_ON_ERROR}" ] || set -e

in all the Allwmake scripts, and substituting the following line in wmake/wmake

        $make -k -f $WM_DIR/MakefileApps FOAM_APPS="$FOAM_APPS"

with

        $make ${WM_CONTINUE_ON_ERROR:+-k} -f $WM_DIR/MakefileApps FOAM_APPS="$FOAM_APPS"

should do the trick. Attached patch does so.

I agree with your preference that the Allwmake scripts should abort on first error and indeed this is the way they used to be but we changed them to continue regardless by popular demand from users. Perhaps it would be better if this behavior were switchable but I am not convinced that using an environment variable is the best way to achieve this; wouldn't it be better to use a command-line option like -k, --keep-going as provided by make?

 Sure. As I've said in #211, comment 421, I'd like the Allwmake scripts to accept some flags, such as -k and -j. I just proposed the environment variable because I thought it would fit the current way things work, thinking of WM_NCOMPPROCS.

Yes using another environment variable would be easier to implement but I think it is time we stopped cluttering-up the environment and added option handling to wmake/Allwmake for controls which need to be overridden occasionally. This will take a little longer to do though.

My sentiment too. OpenFOAM uses way too many environment variables already. IMHO it would be better to have only one environment variable, e.g. WM_PROJECT_DIR, and then in $WM_PROJECT_DIR/bin/foamShellSetup a script which works similar to git-sh-setup.

Hmm, another problem: Seems like # and ~ tags don't work in bug notes.

Greetings to all!

I just attached a proposed near-definitive patch file (needs reviewing) named "patch_allwmake_with_options", based on the original patch by Michael Wild. The objective of this proposition is to include the suggestions "-k and -j" by mwild, but also adding a few more possible options and still giving an easy way to extend options for Allwmake scripts. This patch still relies on the current OpenFOAM environment structure, but it's easily adaptable to the other proposition of reducing "global environmental clutter".

Additional alias commands were also added, namely wmNONSTOP and wmSTOPON1st for (de)activating the new variable globally.

Hopefully I didn't miss any detail operational-wise, but the code itself is not respecting the 80 columns coding standard. I've tested as much as I could with dash (instead of bash) on Ubuntu 10.10, so it should work as intended.


In a nutshell, the following options are automatically added with this patch:
  -h or -help shows a list of valid options and respective descriptions
  -helpdev shows a list of hidden options and respective descriptions relevant only to developers
  -k or -nonstop option used for building without stopping when errors occur
  -j , -jN or -j N option used for either running with all available cores/hyperthreads or with just N cores
  -j+ variant of the previous option, but running with all available cores/hyperthreads + 1 (optimum build speed)
  -schedoff build without wmakeScheduler

The following options are added via local variable "allwmakeOptions", which are meant to be used by specific Allwmake scripts:
  -allow-doc docvarname if "doc" is picked up later on during parsing, then "docvarname" will be set to 1.
  -allow-lib libvarname if "liba", "libo" or "libso" are detected during parsing, "libvarname" will be assigned that value.
  -allow-inotify varname if "USE_STAT" is detected, it will assigned to "varname".
  -allow-readline varname if "NO_READLINE" is detected, it will assigned to "varname".


Last but not least, I would like to add to mwild's suggestion for the system "similar to git-sh-setup":
* the current concept of having "prefs.sh" files placed in key folders can still be reused, working similarly to "git-sh-setup";
* multiple "prefs.sh" files can still coexist in the same system, but now distinguished by session names/hashes. Example: "prefs-ab23b123.sh"
* these session names/hashes can then be used later on to extend the security options discussed in the bug report #236 (http://www.openfoam.com/mantisbt/view.php?id=236). In other words, if the last time a case that needs "allowSystemOperations 1" was not executed with the current session name/hash, then request the user to check and validate/extend permissions for the current session as well. This way it will enforce more security on collaborative/shared CFD cases.

This way it should be easier to make things more secure, even if they can become a bit annoying at times.... similarly to ssh's machine id checking mechanism.

Best regards,
Bruno

Usage examples by the user, from the 2.0.x project folder:
  ./Allwmake doc -j 4
  ./Allwmake doc -j6
  ./Allwmake -j

 The next two commands are useful for running and then finishing the build on a multiple machine environment (at least for me):
  ./Allwmake -k
  ./Allwmake -j+ -k -schedoff

 On the src folder, defining the library type still works:
  src/Allwmake -j+ libo


Additionally, I've just reviewed a bit the AllwmakeArguments file and found a few bugs... will attach the fixed version as AllwmakeArguments_rev2.

Since I was curious about using N+1 processes, I've built OpenFOAM 3 times on my machine that has 8GB of DDR2 800MHz and one AMD 1055T X6, using Ubuntu 10.10 with its original gcc version:
* 1st build with 6 processes;
* 2nd build with 7 processes;
* 3rd build with 6 processes again, to account for file cache on RAM;

Which resulted in the following timings:
 1st: 10273.99user 372.12system 36:14.82elapsed 489%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 2001584maxresident)k
      227072inputs+4583896outputs (452major+127455000minor)pagefaults 0swaps

 2nd: 10274.53user 368.04system 36:10.27elapsed 490%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 2001552maxresident)k
      56inputs+4584104outputs (0major+127470259minor)pagefaults 0swaps

 3rd: 10209.99user 366.84system 35:49.39elapsed 492%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 2001536maxresident)k
      200inputs+4583880outputs (0major+127473965minor)pagefaults 0swaps

Conclusion: at least on my machine, it does not justify using N+1.

@mwild: can you check on your machine(s), since it was you who has been suggesting N+1? The test script "TestBuildTimes" is attached and uses the patch I submitted.

While some people claim one should use N+1 (e.g. [1]), others claim 1.5*N (e.g. [2]) is the best, and others again say that anything beyond N doesn't help at all. So I guess using N by default if only -j (without argument) is passed is safest, and then leave it to the user if he wants something else. Handling it like GNU make by assuming "-j" means "-j infinity" is certainly a bad idea, though.

 Indeed, "-j infinity" would be extremely bad... fortunately the one implemented on the submitted patches will only use the number of detected cores, or 8 when lacking system information (i.e., no permissions to access "/proc/cpuinfo").

So I suspect that N+1 and 1.5*N are only good when disk access is a bit slow during long/frequent read times. And as long as it doesn't hit the swap memory...


edit: In order to clean up a bit this bug report page, I've moved the timings I had for building OpenFOAM to here: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/blogs/wyldckat/923-build-times-openfoam-2-0-x-code-ubuntu-10-10-its-gcc-4-4-5.html

In getNCOMPPROCS() you might first want to try "getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN" on Linux and "sysctl -n hw.ncpu" on BSD Unix systems, and only then proceed to parsing /proc/cpuinfo.

Thanks for the suggestions and demonstration implementation of the functionality. I have updated the Allwmake scripts with equivalent functionality for handling optional stop/continue-on-error, control of number of processors for compilation and cleaned-up the argument handling which will be included in the next major release of OpenFOAM.
