pidl: optionally annotate output for debug purposes
It can sometimes be hard to tell which bit of pidl generated which bit
of C. This commit wants to help.
If the PIDL_DEVELOPER environment variable is set (via waf
--pidl-developer or some other means), pidl will annotate *most* C
indicating which lines were generated by which bits of pidl. It looks
something like this:
_PUBLIC_ enum ndr_err_code ndr_push_auth_session_info(struct ndr_push *ndr, int ndr_flags, const struct auth_session_info *r)
{ //:PIDL: Parse::Pidl::Samba4::NDR::Parser::ParseTypePushFunction lib/Parse/Pidl/Samba4/NDR/Parser.pm:3079
NDR_PUSH_CHECK_FLAGS(ndr, ndr_flags); //:PIDL: Parse::Pidl::Samba4::NDR::Parser::ParseStructPush lib/Parse/Pidl/Samba4/NDR/Parser.pm:604
if (ndr_flags & NDR_SCALARS) {
NDR_CHECK(ndr_push_align(ndr, 5)); //:PIDL: Parse::Pidl::Samba4::NDR::Parser::ParseStructPushPrimitives lib/Parse/Pidl/Samba4/NDR/Parser.pm:1448
NDR_CHECK(ndr_push_unique_ptr(ndr, r->security_token)); //:PIDL: Parse::Pidl::Samba4::NDR::Parser::ParsePtrPush lib/Parse/Pidl/Samba4/NDR/Parser.pm:604
NDR_CHECK(ndr_push_unique_ptr(ndr, r->unix_token));
NDR_CHECK(ndr_push_unique_ptr(ndr, r->info));
NDR_CHECK(ndr_push_unique_ptr(ndr, r->unix_info));
NDR_CHECK(ndr_push_uint3264(ndr, NDR_SCALARS, 0));
/* [ignore] 'torture' */ //:PIDL: Parse::Pidl::Samba4::NDR::Parser::ParseElementPushLevel lib/Parse/Pidl/Samba4/NDR/Parser.pm:729
NDR_CHECK(ndr_push_DATA_BLOB(ndr, NDR_SCALARS, r->session_key)); //:PIDL: Parse::Pidl::Samba4::NDR::Parser::ParseDataPush lib/Parse/Pidl/Samba4/NDR/Parser.pm:604
NDR_CHECK(ndr_push_uint3264(ndr, NDR_SCALARS, 0)); //:PIDL: Parse::Pidl::Samba4::NDR::Parser::ParsePtrPush lib/Parse/Pidl/Samba4/NDR/Parser.pm:604
/* [ignore] 'credentials' */ //:PIDL: Parse::Pidl::Samba4::NDR::Parser::ParseElementPushLevel lib/Parse/Pidl/Samba4/NDR/Parser.pm:729
The comments starting with '//:PIDL:' have the function name, the filename,
and line number. The comment follows the ordinary output, and uses the '//'
style so as not to interfere with multiline /* */ comments if they happen
to exist.
A '//:PIDL:' comment is added whenever the pidl function or indentation
level changes, and very occasionally at other places if pidl runs for a
while without either of these things happening.
This does not affect pidl parsers that do not inherit from Parse::Pidl::Base,
and is careful to have no performance impact on non-debug generation.
This may help with semi-automated flow analysis.
