=head1 DESCRIPTION

Together F<bisect.pl> and F<bisect-runner.pl> attempt to automate the use
of C<git bisect> as much as possible. With one command (and no other files)
it's easy to find out

=back

usually without needing to know which versions of perl to use as start and
end revisions.

By default F<bisect.pl> will process all options, then use the rest of the
command line as arguments to list C<system> to run a test case. By default,
the test case should pass (exit with 0) on earlier perls, and fail (exit
non-zero) on I<blead> (note that running most of perl's test files directly
won't do this, you'll need to run them through a harness to get the proper
error code). F<bisect.pl> will use F<bisect-runner.pl> to find the earliest
stable perl version on which the test case passes, check that it fails on
blead, and then use F<bisect-runner.pl> with C<git bisect run> to find the
commit which caused the failure.

Because the test case is the complete argument to C<system>, it is easy to
run something other than the F<perl> built, if necessary. If you need to run
the perl built, you'll probably need to invoke it as C<./perl -Ilib ...>

You need a clean checkout to run a bisect, and you can't use the checkout
which contains F<Porting/bisect.pl> (because C<git bisect>) will check out
a revision before F<Porting/bisect-runner.pl> was added, which
C<git bisect run> needs). If your working checkout is called F<perl>, the
simplest solution is to make a local clone, and run from that. I<i.e.>:

    cd ..
    git clone perl perl2
    cd perl2
    ../perl/Porting/bisect.pl ...

By default, F<bisect-runner.pl> will automatically disable the build of
L<DB_File> for commits earlier than ccb44e3bf3be2c30, as it's not practical
to patch DB_File 1.70 and earlier to build with current Berkeley DB headers.
(ccb44e3bf3be2c30 was in September 1999, between 5.005_62 and 5.005_63.)
If your F<db.h> is old enough you can override this with C<-Unoextensions>.

=head1 OPTIONS

=over 4

=item *

--start I<commit-ish>

Earliest revision to test, as a I<commit-ish> (a tag, commit or anything
else C<git> understands as a revision). If not specified, F<bisect.pl> will
search stable perl releases until it finds one where the test case passes.
The default is to search from 5.002 to 5.14.0. If F<bisect.pl> detects that
the checkout is on a case insensitive file system, it will search from
5.005 to 5.14.0

=item *

--end I<commit-ish>

Most recent revision to test, as a I<commit-ish>. If not specified, defaults
to I<blead>.

=item *

--target I<target>

F<Makefile> target (or equivalent) needed, to run the test case. If specified,
this should be one of

=over 4

=item *

I<config.sh>

Just run F<./Configure>

=item *

I<config.h>

Run the various F<*.SH> files to generate F<Makefile>, F<config.h>, I<etc>.

=item *

I<miniperl>

Build F<miniperl>.

=item *

I<lib/Config.pm>

Use F<miniperl> to build F<lib/Config.pm>

=item *

I<Fcntl>

Build F<lib/auto/Fcntl/Fnctl.so> (strictly, C<.$Config{so}>). As L<Fcntl>
is simple XS module present since 5.000, this provides a fast test of
whether XS modules can be built. Note, XS modules are built by F<miniperl>,
hence this target will not build F<perl>.

=item *

I<perl>

Build F<perl>. This also builds pure-Perl modules in F<cpan>, F<dist> and
F<ext>. XS modules (such as L<Fcntl>) are not built.

=item *

I<test_prep>

Build everything needed to run the tests. This is the default if we're
running test code, but is time consuming, as it means building all
XS modules. For older F<Makefile>s, the previous name of C<test-prep>
is automatically substituted. For very old F<Makefile>s, C<make test> is
run, as there is no target provided to just get things ready, and for 5.004
and earlier the tests run very quickly.

=back

=item *

--one-liner 'code to run'

=item *

-e 'code to run'

Example code to run, just like you'd use with C<perl -e>.

This prepends C<./perl -Ilib -e 'code to run'> to the test case given,
or F<./miniperl> if I<target> is C<miniperl>.

(Usually you'll use C<-e> instead of providing a test case in the
non-option arguments to F<bisect.pl>)

C<-E> intentionally isn't supported, as it's an error in 5.8.0 and earlier,
which interferes with detecting errors in the example code itself.

=item *

-c

Add C<-c> to the command line, to cause perl to exit after syntax checking.

=item *

-l

Add C<-l> to the command line with C<-e>

This will automatically append a newline to every output line of your testcase.
Note that you can't specify an argument to F<perl>'s C<-l> with this, as it's
not feasible to emulate F<perl>'s somewhat quirky switch parsing with
L<Getopt::Long>. If you need the full flexibility of C<-l>, you need to write
a full test case, instead of using C<bisect.pl>'s C<-e> shortcut.

=item *

-w

Add C<-w> to the command line with C<-e>

It's not valid to pass C<-c>,  C<-l> or C<-w> to C<bisect.pl> unless you are
also using C<-e>

=item *

--expect-fail

The test case should fail for the I<start> revision, and pass for the I<end>
revision. The bisect run will find the first commit where it passes.

=item *

-D I<config_arg=value>

=item *

-U I<config_arg>

=item *

-A I<config_arg=value>

Arguments (C<-A>, C<-D>, C<-U>) to pass to F<Configure>. For example,

    -Dnoextensions=Encode
    -Uusedevel
    -Accflags=-DNO_MATHOMS

Repeated C<-A> arguments are passed
through as is. C<-D> and C<-U> are processed in order, and override
previous settings for the same parameter. F<bisect-runner.pl> emulates
C<-Dnoextensions> when F<Configure> itself does not provide it, as it's
often very useful to be able to disable some XS extensions.

=item *

--make I<make-prog>

The C<make> command to use. If this not set, F<make> is used. If this is
set, it also adds a C<-Dmake=...> else some recursive make invocations
in extensions may fail. Typically one would use this as C<--make gmake>
to use F<gmake> in place of the system F<make>.

=item *

--jobs I<jobs>

=item *

-j I<jobs>

Number of C<make> jobs to run in parallel. If F</proc/cpuinfo> exists and
can be parsed, or F</sbin/sysctl> exists and reports C<hw.ncpu>, or
F</usr/bin/getconf> exists and reports C<_NPROCESSORS_ONLN> defaults to 1 +
I<number of CPUs>. Otherwise defaults to 2.

=item *

--match pattern

=item *

--no-match pattern

Instead of running a test program to determine I<pass> or I<fail>,
C<--match> will pass if the given regex matches, and hence search for the
commit that removes the last matching file. C<--no-match> inverts the test,
to search for the first commit that adds files that match.

The remaining command line arguments are treated as glob patterns for files
to match against. If none are specified, then they default as follows:

=over 4

=item *

If no I<target> is specified, the match is against all files in the
repository (which is fast).

=item *

If a I<target> is specified, that target is built, and the match is against
only the built files.

=back

Treating the command line arguments as glob patterns should not cause
problems, as the perl distribution has never shipped or built files with
names that contain characters which are globbing metacharacters.

Anything which is not a readable file is ignored, instead of generating an
error. (If you want an error, run C<grep> or C<ack> as a test case). This
permits one to easily search in a file that changed its name. For example:

    .../Porting/bisect.pl --match 'Pod.*Functions' 'pod/buildtoc*'

C<--no-match ...> is implemented as C<--expect-fail --match ...>

=item *

--test-build

Test that the build completes, without running any test case.

By default, if the build for the desired I<target> fails to complete,
F<bisect-runner.pl> reports a I<skip> back to C<git bisect>, the assumption
being that one wants to find a commit which changed state "builds && passes"
to "builds && fails". If instead one is interested in which commit broke the
build (possibly for particular F<Configure> options), use I<--test-build>
to treat a build failure as a failure, not a "skip".

Often this option isn't as useful as it first seems, because I<any> build
failure will be reported to C<git bisect> as a failure, not just the failure
that you're interested in. Generally, to debug a particular problem, it's
more useful to use a I<target> that builds properly at the point of interest,
and then a test case that runs C<make>. For example:

    .../Porting/bisect.pl --start=perl-5.000 --end=perl-5.002 \
        --expect-fail --force-manifest --target=miniperl make perl

will find the first revision capable of building L<DynaLoader> and then
F<perl>, without becoming confused by revisions where F<miniperl> won't
even link.

=item *

--force-manifest

By default, a build will "skip" if any files listed in F<MANIFEST> are not
present. Usually this is useful, as it avoids false-failures. However, there
are some long ranges of commits where listed files are missing, which can
cause a bisect to abort because all that remain are skipped revisions.

In these cases, particularly if the test case uses F<miniperl> and no modules,
it may be more useful to force the build to continue, even if files
F<MANIFEST> are missing.

=item *

--force-regen

Run C<make regen_headers> before building F<miniperl>. This may fix a build
that otherwise would skip because the generated headers at that revision
are stale. It's not the default because it conceals this error in the true
state of such revisions.

=item *

--expect-pass [0|1]

C<--expect-pass=0> is equivalent to C<--expect-fail>. I<1> is the default.

=item *

--no-clean

Tell F<bisect-runner.pl> not to clean up after the build. This allows one
to use F<bisect-runner.pl> to build the current particular perl revision for
interactive testing, or for debugging F<bisect-runner.pl>.

Passing this to F<bisect.pl> will likely cause the bisect to fail badly.

=item *

--validate

Test that all stable revisions can be built. By default, attempts to build
I<blead>, I<v5.14.0> .. I<perl-5.002> (or I<perl5.005> on a case insensitive
file system). Stops at the first failure, without
cleaning the checkout. Use I<--start> to specify the earliest revision to
test, I<--end> to specify the most recent. Useful for validating a new
OS/CPU/compiler combination. For example

    ../perl/Porting/bisect.pl --validate -le 'print "Hello from $]"'

If no testcase is specified, the default is to use F<t/TEST> to run
F<t/base/*.t>

=item *

--check-args

Validate the options and arguments, and exit silently if they are valid.

=item *

--check-shebang

Validate that the test case isn't an executable file with a
C<#!/usr/bin/perl> line (or similar). As F<bisect-runner.pl> does B<not>
prepend C<./perl> to the test case, a I<#!> line specifying an external
F<perl> binary will cause the test case to always run with I<that> F<perl>,
not the F<perl> built by the bisect runner. Likely this is not what you
wanted. If your test case is actually a wrapper script to run other
commands, you should run it with an explicit interpreter, to be clear. For
example, instead of C<../perl/Porting/bisect.pl ~/test/testcase.pl> you'd
run C<../perl/Porting/bisect.pl /usr/bin/perl ~/test/testcase.pl>

# ccache is an easy win. Remove it if it causes problems.
# Commit 1cfa4ec74d4933da adds ignore_versioned_solibs to Configure, and sets it
# to true in hints/linux.sh
# On dromedary, from that point on, Configure (by default) fails to find any
# libraries, because it scans /usr/local/lib /lib /usr/lib, which only contain
# versioned libraries. Without -lm, the build fails.
# Telling /usr/local/lib64 /lib64 /usr/lib64 works from that commit onwards,
# until commit faae14e6e968e1c0 adds it to the hints.
# However, prior to 1cfa4ec74d4933da telling Configure the truth doesn't work,
# because it will spot versioned libraries, pass them to the compiler, and then
# bail out pretty early on. Configure won't let us override libswanted, but it
# will let us override the entire libs list.
