=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>. 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 from 5.002 to 5.14.0 until it finds one where
the test case passes.

=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 *

--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 *

-Dnoextensions=Encode

=item *

-Uusedevel

=item *

-Accflags=-DNO_MATHOMS

Arguments to pass to F<Configure>. 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 *

--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

Instead of running a test program to determine I<pass> or I<fail>, pass
if the given regex matches, and hence search for the commit that removes
the last matching file.

If no I<target> is specified, the match is against all files in the
repository (which is fast). If a I<target> is specified, that target is
built, and the match is against only the built files. C<--expect-fail> can
be used with C<--match> to search for a commit that adds files that 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>. 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 -e'print "Hello from $]\n"'

=item *

--check-args

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

=item *

--usage

=item *

--help

=item *

-?

Display the usage information and exit.
