=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.

Many of perl's own test scripts exit 0 even if their TAP reports test
failures, and some need particular setup (such as running from the right
directory, or adding C<-T> to the command line). Hence if you want to bisect
a test script, you can specify it with the I<--target> option, and it will
be invoked using F<t/TEST> which performs all the setup, and exits non-zero
if the TAP reports failures. This works for any file ending C<.t>, so you can
use it with a file outside of the working checkout, for example to test a
particular version of a test script, as a path inside the repository will
(of course) be testing the version of the script checked out for the current
revision, which may be too early to have the test you are interested in.

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 ...>.
As a special case, if the first argument of the test case is a readable file
(whether executable or not), matching C<qr{\A#!./(?:mini)?perl\b}> then it
will have C<./perl> <-Ilib> (or C<./miniperl>) prepended to it.

You need a clean checkout to run a bisect. You can use the checkout
containing F<Porting/bisect.pl> if you wish - in this case
F<Porting/bisect.pl> will copy F<Porting/bisect-runner.pl> to a temporary
file generated by C<File::Temp::tempfile()>. If doing this, beware that when
the bisect ends (or you abort it) then your checkout is no longer at
C<blead>, so you will need to C<git checkout blead> before restarting, to
get the current version of F<Porting/bisect.pl> again. It's often easier
either to copy F<Porting/bisect.pl> and F<Porting/bisect-runner.pl> to
another directory (I<e.g.> F<~/bin>, if you have one), or to create a second
git repository for running bisect. To create a second local repository, if
your working checkout is called F<perl>, a simple 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 .0 perl releases until it finds one where the test case
passes. The default is to search from 5.002 to the most recent tagged stable
release (v5.18.0 at the time of writing). If F<bisect.pl> detects that the
checkout is on a case insensitive file system, it will search from 5.005 to
the most recent tagged stable release. Only .0 stable releases are used
because these are the only stable releases that are parents of blead, and
hence suitable for a bisect run.

=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<none>

Don't build anything - just run the user test case against a clean checkout.
Using this gives a couple of features that a plain C<git bisect run> can't
offer - automatic start revision detection, and test case C<--timeout>.

=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.

=item *

A file ending C<.t>

Build everything needed to run the tests, and then run this test script using
F<t/TEST>. This is actually implemented internally by using the target
I<test_prep>, and setting the test case to "sh", "-c", "cd t && ./TEST ..."

=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>. You can repeat C<-e> on the command
line, just like you can with C<perl>)

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 *

--crash

Treat any non-crash as success, any crash as failure. (Crashing defined
as exiting with a signal or a core dump.)

=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>.  The C<-D>, C<-A> and
C<-U> switches should be spelled as if you were normally giving them 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. A value of 0 suppresses
parallelism. 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>. On HP-UX with the
system make defaults to 0, 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 *

--valgrind

Run the test program under C<valgrind>. If you need to test for memory
errors when parsing invalid programs, the default parser fail exit code of
255 will always override C<valgrind>, so try putting the test case invalid
code inside a I<string> C<eval>, so that the perl interpreter will exit with 0.
(Be sure to check the output of $@, to avoid missing mistakes such as
unintended C<eval> failures due to incorrect C<@INC>)

Specifically, this option prepends C<valgrind> C<--error-exitcode=124> to
the command line that runs the testcase, to cause valgrind to exit non-zero
if it detects errors, with the assumption that the test program itself
always exits with zero. If you require more flexibility than this, either
specify your C<valgrind> invocation explicitly as part of the test case, or
use a wrapper script to control the command line or massage the exit codes.

In order for the test program to be seen as a perl script to valgrind
(rather than a shell script), the first line must be one of the following

  #!./perl
  #!./miniperl

=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 *

--module module1,module2,...

Install this (or these) module(s), die when it (the last of those)
cannot be updated to the current version.

Misnomer. the argument can be any argument that can be passed to CPAN
shell's install command. B<But>: since we only have the uptodate
command to verify that an install has taken place, we are unable to
determine success for arguments like
MSCHWERN/Test-Simple-1.005000_005.tar.gz.

In so far, it is not such a misnomer.

Note that this and I<--with-module> will both require a C<CPAN::MyConfig>.
If F<$ENV{HOME}/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm> does not exist, a CPAN shell will
be started up for you so you can configure one. Feel free to let
CPAN pick defaults for you. Enter 'quit' when you are done, and
then everything should be all set. Alternatively, you may
specify a custom C<CPAN::MyConfig> by using I<--cpan-config-dir>.

Also, if you want to bisect a module that needs a display (like
TK) and you don't want random screens appearing and disappearing
on your computer while you're working, you can do something like
this:

In a terminal:

 $ while true; do date ; if ! ps auxww | grep -v grep \
   | grep -q Xvfb; then Xvfb :121 & fi; echo -n 'sleeping 60 '; \
   sleep 60; done

And then:

  DISPLAY=":121" .../Porting/bisect.pl --module=TK

(Some display alternatives are vncserver and Xnest.)

=item *

--with-module module1,module2,...

Like I<--module> above, except this simply installs the requested
modules and they can then be used in other tests.

For example:

  .../Porting/bisect.pl --with-module=Moose -e 'use Moose; ...'

=item *

--no-module-tests

Use in conjunction with I<--with-module> to install the modules without
running their tests. This can be a big time saver.

For example:

  .../Porting/bisect.pl --with-module=Moose --no-module-tests \
       -e 'use Moose; ...'

=item *

--test-module

This is like I<--module>, but just runs the module's tests, instead of
installing it.

WARNING: This is a somewhat experimental option, known to work on recent
CPAN shell versions.  If you use this option and strange things happen,
please report them.

Usually, you can just use I<--module>, but if you are getting inconsistent
installation failures and you just want to see when the tests started
failing, you might find this option useful.

=item *

--cpan-config-dir /home/blah/custom

If defined, this will cause L<CPAN> to look for F<CPAN/MyConfig.pm> inside of
the specified directory, instead of using the default config of
F<$ENV{HOME}/.cpan/>.

If no default config exists, a L<CPAN> shell will be fired up for you to
configure things. Letting L<CPAN> automatically configure things for you
should work well enough. You probably want to choose I<manual> instead of
I<local::lib> if it asks. When you're finished with configuration, just
type I<q> and hit I<ENTER> and the bisect should continue.

=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.

--expect-pass [0|1]

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

=item *

--timeout I<seconds>

Run the testcase with the given timeout. If this is exceeded, kill it (and
by default all its children), and treat it as a failure.

=item *

--setpgrp

Run the testcase in its own process group. Specifically, call C<setpgrp 0, 0>
just before C<exec>-ing the user testcase. The default is not to set the
process group, unless a timeout is used.

=item *

--all-fixups

F<bisect-runner.pl> will minimally patch various files on a platform and
version dependent basis to get the build to complete. Normally it defers
doing this as long as possible - C<.SH> files aren't patched until after
F<Configure> is run, and C<C> and C<XS> code isn't patched until after
F<miniperl> is built. If C<--all-fixups> is specified, all the fixups are
done before running C<Configure>. In rare cases adding this may cause a
bisect to abort, because an inapplicable patch or other fixup is attempted
for a revision which would usually have already I<skip>ped. If this happens,
please report it as a bug, giving the OS and problem revision.

=item *

--early-fixup file

=item *

--late-fixup file

Specify a file containing a patch or other fixup for the source code. The
action to take depends on the first line of the fixup file

=over 4

=item *

C<#!perl>

If the first line starts C<#!perl> then the file is run using C<$^X>

=item *

C<#!/absolute/path>

If a shebang line is present the file is executed using C<system>

=item *

C<I<filename> =~ /I<pattern>/>

=item *

C<I<filename> !~ /I<pattern>/>

If I<filename> does not exist then the fixup file's contents are ignored.
Otherwise, for C<=~>, if it contains a line matching I<pattern>, then the
file is fed to C<patch -p1> on standard input. For C<=~>, the patch is
applied if no lines match the pattern.

As the empty pattern in Perl is a special case (it matches the most recent
successful match) which is not useful here, the treatment of an empty pattern
is special-cased. C<I<filename> =~ //> applies the patch if filename is
present. C<I<filename> !~ //> applies the patch if filename missing. This
makes it easy to unconditionally apply patches to files, and to use a patch
as a way of creating a new file.

=item *

Otherwise, the file is assumed to be a patch, and always applied.

=back

I<early-fixup>s are applied before F<./Configure> is run. I<late-fixup>s are
applied just after F<./Configure> is run.

These options can be specified more than once. I<file> is actually expanded
as a glob pattern. Globs that do not match are errors, as are missing files.

=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 (.0) revisions can be built. By default, attempts to
build I<blead>, then tagged stable releases in reverse order down to
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>
automatically 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>

=item *

--gold

Revision to use when checking out known-good recent versions of files,
such as F<hints/freebsd.sh>. F<bisect-runner.pl> defaults this to I<blead>,
but F<bisect.pl> will default it to the most recent stable release.

=item * Problem

Under C<make minitest> (but not under C<make test_harness>), F<t/re/pat.t> was
failing to compile.  What was the first commit at which that compilation
failure could be observed?

=item * Solution

Extract code from the test file at the point where C<./miniperl -Ilib -c> was
showing a compilation failure.  Use that in bisection with the C<miniperl>
target.

    .../Porting/bisect.pl --target=miniperl --start=2ec4590e \

User submitted code sample which when run caused F<perl> to segfault, but did
not claim that this was a recent change.

=item * Solution

Used locally installed production releases of perl (previously created by
F<perlbrew>) to identify the first production release at which the code would
not compile.  Used that information to shorten bisection time.

    .../perl Porting/bisect.pl \
        --start=v5.14.4 \
        --end=v5.16.3 \
        --crash -- ./perl -Ilib /tmp/gh-17333-map.pl

=head2 Interaction of debug flags caused crash on C<-DDEBUGGING> builds

=over 4

=item * Problem

In C<-DDEBUGGING> builds, the debug flags C<Xvt> would crash a program when
F<strict.pm> was loaded via C<require> or C<use>.

=item * Solution

Two-stage solution.  In each stage, to shorten debugging time investigator
made use of existing set of production releases of F<perl> built with
C<-DDEBUGGING>.

=over 4

=item * Stage 1

Investigator used existing C<-DDEBUGGING> builds to determine the production
cycle in which crash first appeared.  Then:

    .../perl/Porting/bisect.pl \
        --start v5.20.0 \
        --end v5.22.1 \
        -DDEBUGGING \
        --target miniperl \
        --crash \
        -- ./miniperl -Ilib -DXvt -Mstrict -e 1

First bad commit was identified as
L<ed958fa315|https://github.com/Perl/perl5/commit/ed958fa315>.

=item * Stage 2

A second investigator was able to create a reduction of the code needed to
trigger a crash, then used this reduced case and the commit reported at the
end of Stage 1 to further bisect.

    .../perl/Porting/bisect.pl \
        --start v5.18.4 \
        --end ed958fa315 \
        -DDEBUGGING \
        --target miniperl \
        --crash \
        -- ./miniperl -Ilib -DXv -e '{ my $n=1; *foo= sub () { $n }; }'

=back

The first bisect determined the point at which code was introduced to
F<strict.pm> that triggered the problem. With an understanding of the trigger,
the second bisect then determined the point at which such a trigger started
causing a crash.

=head2 When did perl start failing to build on a certain platform using C<g++> as the C-compiler?

=over 4

=item * Problem

On NetBSD-8.0, C<perl> had never been smoke-tested using C<g++> as the
C-compiler.  Once this was done, it became evident that changes in that
version of the operating system's code were incompatible with some C<perl>
source written long before that OS version was ever released!

=item * Solution

Bisection range was first narrowed using existing builds at release tags.
Then, bisection specified the C-compiler via C<Configure>-style switch and
used C<--test-build> to identify the commit which "broke" the build.

    .../perl Porting/bisect.pl \
        -Dcc=g++ \
        --test-build \
        --start=v5.21.6 \
        --end=v5.21.7

Then, problem was discussed with knowledgeable NetBSD user.

=head2 When did a test file start to emit warnings?

=over 4

=item * Problem

When F<dist/Tie-File/t/43_synopsis> was run as part of C<make test>, we
observed warnings not previously seen.  At what commit were those warnings
first emitted?

=item * Solution

We know that when this test file was first committed to blead, no warnings
were observed and there was no output to C<STDERR>.  So that commit becomes
the value for C<--start>.

Since the test file in question is for a CPAN distribution maintained by core,
we must prepare to run that test by including C<--target=test_prep> in the
bisection invocation.  We then run the test file in a way that captures
C<STDERR> in a file.  If that file has non-zero size, then we have presumably
captured the newly seen warnings.

    export ERR="/tmp/err"

    .../perl Porting/bisect.pl \
      --start=507614678018ae1abd55a22e9941778c65741ba3 \
      --end=d34b46d077dcfc479c36f65b196086abd7941c76 \
      --target=test_prep \
      -e 'chdir("t");
        system(
          "./perl harness ../dist/Tie-File/t/43_synopsis.t
            2>$ENV{ERR}"
        );
        -s $ENV{ERR} and die "See $ENV{ERR} for warnings thrown";'

Bisection pointed to a commit where strictures and warnings were first turned
on throughout the F<dist/Tie-File/> directory.

# 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.

| | |
| | |     phase 1 of somewhat major rearrangement of PERL_OBJECT stuff
| | |     (objpp.h is gone, embed.pl now does some of that); objXSUB.h
| | |     should soon be automated also; the global variables that
| | |     escaped the PL_foo conversion are now reined in; renamed
| | |     MAGIC in regcomp.h to REG_MAGIC to avoid collision with the
| | |     type of same name; duplicated lists of pp_things in various
| | |     places is now gone; result has only been tested on win32
