Postgresql源码（140）理解PG的编译流程（make、Makefile、Makefile.global.in）

PG16

PG中使用的makefile看起来代码比较多，但是实际逻辑比较简单，这里做一些抽象总结。

总结

Makefile.global.in的$(recurse)宏自动生成了target，可以方便的进入内存目录进行编译。

all: all-common-recurse
all-common-recurse:  submake-generated-headersMAKE -C common allall: all-backend-recurse
all-backend-recurse:  submake-generated-headersMAKE -C backend allinstall: install-common-recurse
install-common-recurse:  submake-generated-headersMAKE -C common installinstall: install-backend-recurse
install-backend-recurse:  submake-generated-headersMAKE -C backend installcheck: check-common-recurse
check-common-recurse:  submake-generated-headers  temp-installMAKE -C common checkcheck: check-backend-recurse
check-backend-recurse:  submake-generated-headers  temp-installMAKE -C backend check

Makefile.global.in同时定义了对.o合.bc文件的生成规则：

%.o : %.c@if test ! -d $(DEPDIR); then mkdir -p $(DEPDIR); fi$(COMPILE.c) -o $@ $< -MMD -MP -MF $(DEPDIR)/$(*F).Po%.o : %.cpp@if test ! -d $(DEPDIR); then mkdir -p $(DEPDIR); fi$(COMPILE.cc) -o $@ $< -MMD -MP -MF $(DEPDIR)/$(*F).Po%.bc : %.c$(COMPILE.c.bc) -o $@ $<%.bc : %.cpp$(COMPILE.cxx.bc) -o $@ $<

在最内层目录的Makefile定义了OBJS例如：OBJS=aset.o mcxt.o ...，然后调用common.mk文件，对OBJS中的每一个元素进行隐式编译，common.mk：

简化版内层Makefile：

OBJS = aset.o mcxt.o# 没有OBJS生成规则，make隐式生成.o文件，调用上面定义的%.o : %.c规则
objfiles.txt: $(OBJS)# echo or touch objfiles

如果打开了llvm，简化版内层Makefile：

OBJS = aset.o mcxt.o# 没有aset.bc mcxt.bc生成规则，make隐式生成.bc文件，调用上面定义的%.bc : %.c规则。
objfiles.txt: $(patsubst %.o,%.bc, $(OBJS))     ## objfiles.txt: aset.bc mcxt.bc
# 没有OBJS生成规则，make隐式生成.o文件，调用上面定义的%.o : %.c规则
$(patsubst %.o,%.bc, $(OBJS)): $(OBJS)          ## aset.bc mcxt.bc: aset.o mcxt.o

1 执行make后发生了什么？

简单工程中的makefile中可以看到很多target，依赖关系一般也比较直接，例如下面例子中：

OrcV2CBindingsAddObjectFile 依赖 OrcV2CBindingsAddObjectFile.o 依赖 OrcV2CBindingsAddObjectFile.c

all: __BUILD_DIR \$(BUILD_DIR)/OrcV2CBindingsAddObjectFile \$(BUILD_DIR)/OrcV2CBindingsBasicUsage.PHONY: __BUILD_DIR$(BUILD_DIR)/OrcV2CBindingsAddObjectFile: $(BUILD_DIR)/OrcV2CBindingsAddObjectFile.o${CXX} $< ${CXXFLAGS} ${LLVM_LD_FLAGS} -o $@ 
$(BUILD_DIR)/OrcV2CBindingsAddObjectFile.o: OrcV2CBindingsAddObjectFile.c${CC} -c $< ${CFLAGS} ${LLVM_CC_FLAGS} -o $@

但打开PG根目录下的Makefile：

subdir = src
top_builddir = ..
include Makefile.globalSUBDIRS = \common \port \timezone \backend \backend/utils/mb/conversion_procs \backend/snowball \include \interfaces \backend/replication/libpqwalreceiver \backend/replication/pgoutput \fe_utils \bin \pl \makefiles \test/regress \test/isolation \test/perlifeq ($(with_llvm), yes)
SUBDIRS += backend/jit/llvm
endif# There are too many interdependencies between the subdirectories, so
# don't attempt parallel make here.
.NOTPARALLEL:$(recurse)...
...

看不到target信息，代码的可读性比较差，因为所有target都是生成的。优点是target动态生成，代码量少，比较灵活。
所有的细节都封装在$(recurse)中，具体在Makefile.global.in中定义。

2 Makefile.global.in

截取关键代码：


standard_targets = all install installdirs uninstall distprep clean distclean maintainer-clean coverage check checkprep installcheck init-po update-po
# these targets should recurse even into subdirectories not being built:
standard_always_targets = distprep clean distclean maintainer-clean.PHONY: $(standard_targets) install-strip html man installcheck-parallel update-unicode# make `all' the default target

endefrecurse = $(foreach target,$(if $1,$1,$(standard_targets)),$(foreach subdir,$(if $2,$2,$(SUBDIRS)),$(eval $(call

在最后面我们看到了recurse的定义：
recurse = $(foreach target,$(if $1,$1,$(standard_targets)),$(foreach subdir,$(if $2,$2,$(SUBDIRS)),$(eval $(call _create_recursive_target,$(target),$(subdir),$(if $3,$3,$(target))))))
这里调用了_create_recursive_target函数来生成所有目录的target。

PG的例子太复杂，这里抽象出来一个最小用例来继续分析。

3 $(recurse)最小DEMO

Makefile


subdir = src
top_builddir = ..
include Makefile.globalSUBDIRS = \common \port \timezone \backend$(recurse)

Makefile.global


standard_targets = all install check
.PHONY: $(standard_targets)all:###############################
all install check installcheck: submake-generated-headers.PHONY: submake-generated-headerssubmake-generated-headers:
ifndef NO_GENERATED_HEADERS
ifeq ($(MAKELEVEL),0)$(info ------------GENERATEHEADERS------------)
endif
endif###############################
define _create_recursive_target
.PHONY: $(1)-$(2)-recurse
$(1): $(1)-$(2)-recurse
$(1)-$(2)-recurse: $(if $(filter all install check installcheck, $(3)), submake-generated-headers) $(if $(filter check, $(3)), temp-install)$(info ------------GENERATE TATGETS------------)$(info $$1: $1, $$2: $2, $$3: $3)$(info $(1): $(1)-$(2)-recurse)$(info $(1)-$(2)-recurse: $(if $(filter all install check installcheck, $(3)), submake-generated-headers) $(if $(filter check, $(3)), temp-install))$(info MAKE -C $(2) $(3))$$(MAKE) -C $(2) $(3)
endefrecurse = $(foreach target,$(if $1,$1,$(standard_targets)),$(foreach subdir,$(if $2,$2,$(SUBDIRS)),$(eval $(call _create_recursive_target,$(target),$(subdir),$(if $3,$3,$(target))))))# recurse = \
#     $(foreach target,$(if $1,$1,$(standard_targets)),\
#         $(foreach subdir,$(if $2,$2,$(SUBDIRS)),\
#             $(eval $(call _create_recursive_target,$(target),$(subdir),$(if $3,$3,$(target))))\
#         )\
#     )

执行结果：
在这里插入图片描述

4 $(recurse)最小DEMO结果分析

recurse = $(foreach target,$(if $1,$1,$(standard_targets)),$(foreach subdir,$(if $2,$2,$(SUBDIRS)),$(eval $(call _create_recursive_target,$(target),$(subdir),$(if $3,$3,$(target))))))

展开后

recurse = \$(foreach target,$(if $1,$1,$(standard_targets)),\$(foreach subdir,$(if $2,$2,$(SUBDIRS)),\$(eval $(call _create_recursive_target,$(target),$(subdir),$(if $3,$3,$(target))))\)\)

外层循环遍历standard_targets = all install check，也就是PG定义的所有make指令，需要为每个指令定义target。
内层循环遍历SUBDIRS = common backend，这个是Makefile中定义的，也就是谁include Makefile.global，谁负责定义好SUBDIRS。表示当前目录下，哪些子目录需要进行编译。

调用_create_recursive_target函数，为makefile动态定义target：

define _create_recursive_target
.PHONY: $(1)-$(2)-recurse
$(1): $(1)-$(2)-recurse
$(1)-$(2)-recurse: $(if $(filter all install check installcheck, $(3)), submake-generated-headers) $(if $(filter check, $(3)), temp-install)$$(MAKE) -C $(2) $(3)
endef

函数执行后，生成一系列target，两个小细节：

如果target是all install check installcheck集中情况，需要增加submake-generated-headers依赖，这个是生成头文件的，PG的一些头文件是编译时生成出来的。
如果target是check，需要增加temp-install依赖，temp-install是负责regress测试的target。

5 继续完善demo

前面提到的demo只构造了target，并没有真正编译.c文件。
继续增加了.c文件编译到.o的部分。

#             $(eval $(call _create_recursive_target,$(target),$(subdir),$(if $3,$3,$(target))))\
#         )\
#     )

这里主要需要关注的就是common.mk。每个源码目录中都有一些文件需要编译，所以都需要配一个Makefile，这些Makefile中相同的逻辑抽取到了common.mk中。

objfiles.txt: $(OBJS)......

注意这里OBJS = aset.o，这里makefile构造objfiles.txt依赖aset.o，而aset.o触发了Makefile的隐式规则，会自动从aset.c编译为aset.o。

除了规则外，具体的编译方法也可以在Makefile中定义，例如PG的makefile.global.in中定义了对.o文件的处理方法。

%.o : %.c@if test ! -d $(DEPDIR); then mkdir -p $(DEPDIR); fi$(COMPILE.c) -o $@ $< -MMD -MP -MF $(DEPDIR)/$(*F).Po%.o : %.cpp@if test ! -d $(DEPDIR); then mkdir -p $(DEPDIR); fi$(COMPILE.cc) -o $@ $< -MMD -MP -MF $(DEPDIR)/$(*F).Po

llvm支持：common.mk中还有一段，如果打开了llvm后，objfiles.txt会同时依赖.o和.bc文件。

ifeq ($(with_llvm), yes)
objfiles.txt: $(patsubst %.o,%.bc, $(OBJS))
$(patsubst %.o,%.bc, $(OBJS)): $(OBJS)
endif

在makefile.global.in中也定义了对.bc文件的处理方法：

%.bc : %.c$(COMPILE.c.bc) -o $@ $<%.bc : %.cpp$(COMPILE.cxx.bc) -o $@ $<
