A CPlatformConfigForSqueak acts as a compatability layer for Squeak and an Abstract Base Class for extended functionality required for the Squeak CMakeVMMaker use-case.
I make (very) heavy use of a specific design pattern for configuring myself and remaining compatible with pharo's CMakeVMMaker. The entry point for that pattern is my method 'configureForBuildType: aSymbol' . Each method send in there detects my buildType and routes the send to the approriate method for that buildType.
Subclasses of me 'must' configure themselves for each build type per that pattern. However this can be very easy by just returning the base configuration.
Tests are written to verify that this support infrastructure is in place.
+ I have two important methods. - I have two important variables.
excludeFromBuild and isAbstractBaseClass.
excludeFromBuild is used to exclude a configuration from being built by a Builder. is used to exclude a configuration from Testing.
isAbstractBaseClass + is used by configurations that exclude themselves from being built by a Builder BUT need to be included in Testing. - is a class instance variable used by configurations that exclude themselves from being built by a Builder BUT need to be included in Testing.
excludeFromBuild | isAbstractBaseClass | should build | should test T T NO YES T F NO NO F T YES YES F F YES YES
The use-case is as follows.
An abstract base class contains a lot of functionality that must be implemented and tested for the system to work, but it is not meant to be compiled.
concrete classes of that AbstractBase class can exclude themselves from being built by builders and by doing so are not tested. However, once a concrete configuration is enabled to be built, it must pass all tests.
Linux32x86Config is an example of an AbstractBase class that must pass all testing, but is not buildable. Its subclass Linux32x86SqueakCogV3Config needs testing, but a developer can toggle 'exclude from build' to hide it from Builders or make it available to them.
Tests make the decision on what configurations to test. Here are some examples. (o excludeFromBuild not) & (configuration isAbstractBaseClass not) this is a concrete [Lang][VM][MemoryManager][etc] configuration that will be built. No platform classes considered (o excludeFromBuild) & (configuration isAbstractBaseClass not) This is a concrete [Lang][VM][MemoryManager][etc] configuration that will be NOT built. (o excludeFromBuild not) | (configuration isAbstractBaseClass) concrete implementation may depend on its [OS][VMWordSize][Processor] AbstractBaseClass for platform level methods. example: Linux32x86Config ccBuild has the '-m32' compiler flag that is common to all builds on that platform (o excludeFromBuild not) & (configuration isAbstractBaseClass) Not allowed. [OS][VMWordSize][Processor] AbstractBaseClasses should not be built. This is a useful test in its own right. (o excludeFromBuild) & (configuration isAbstractBaseClass) These are the AbstractBaseClasses. An AbstractBaseClass should always be excluded from a build
