build: enforce makefile conditional style

2013-09-04T15:40:20+00:00

Automake has builtin support to prevent botched conditional nesting,
but only if you use:
if FOO
else !FOO
endif !FOO

An example error message when using the wrong name:

daemon/Makefile.am:378: error: else reminder (LIBVIRT_INIT_SCRIPT_SYSTEMD_TRUE) incompatible with current conditional: LIBVIRT_INIT_SCRIPT_SYSTEMD_FALSE
daemon/Makefile.am:381: error: endif reminder (LIBVIRT_INIT_SCRIPT_SYSTEMD_TRUE) incompatible with current conditional: LIBVIRT_INIT_SCRIPT_SYSTEMD_FALSE

As our makefiles tend to have quite a bit of nested conditionals,
it's better to take advantage of the benefits of the build system
double-checking that our conditionals are well-nested, but that
requires a syntax check to enforce our usage style.

Alas, unlike C preprocessor and spec files, we can't use indentation
to make it easier to see how deeply nesting goes.

* cfg.mk (sc_makefile_conditionals): New rule.
* daemon/Makefile.am: Enforce the style.
* gnulib/tests/Makefile.am: Likewise.
* python/Makefile.am: Likewise.
* src/Makefile.am: Likewise.
* tests/Makefile.am: Likewise.
* tools/Makefile.am: Likewise.

Test for object identity when checking for None in Python

2013-08-23T06:12:26+00:00

Consistently use "is" or "is not" to compare variables to None,
because doing so is preferrable, as per PEP 8
(http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/#programming-recommendations):

> Comparisons to singletons like None should always be done with is or
> is not, never the equality operators.

python: Use RELRO_LDFLAGS and NO_INDIRECT_LDFLAGS

A readonly GOT and detecting indirect linkage is useful here too.

Delete obsolete / unused python test files

2013-07-30T13:13:58+00:00

The python/tests directory contains a number of so called
"tests" for the python API. These are all hardcoded to
look for Xen and cannot be run in any automated fashion,
and no one is ever manually running them. Given that they
don't meaningully contribute to the test coverage, delete
them.

For some reason these tests were also copied into the
filesystem as part of 'make install'. The change to the
RPM in commit 3347a4203278ec93d7b0ceb88b5ed10e4f14765c
caused a build failure, since it removed the code which
deleted these installed tests.

python: Drop TODO

2013-07-29T11:54:18+00:00

File hasn't been really touched for 7 years. And with recent rawhide
changes it contributed to an RPM build failure. Let's drop it.

This also removes installation of a libvirt-python doc dir, so drop
handling of it from the RPM spec.

maint: split long lines in Makefiles

2013-07-19T11:25:35+00:00

Makefiles are another easy file to enforce line limits.

Mostly straightforward; interesting tricks worth noting:
src/Makefile.am: $(confdir) was already defined, use it in more places
tests/Makefile.am: path_add and VG required some interesting compression

* cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_long_lines): Add another test.
* Makefile.am: Fix offenders.
* daemon/Makefile.am: Likewise.
* docs/Makefile.am: Likewise.
* python/Makefile.am: Likewise.
* src/Makefile.am: Likewise.
* tests/Makefile.am: Likewise.
