# @BLURB: parallelization with bash (wtf?)
# @DESCRIPTION:
# The multiprocessing eclass contains a suite of functions that allow ebuilds
# to quickly run things in parallel using shell code.
#
# It has two modes: pre-fork and post-fork. If you don't want to dive into any
# more nuts & bolts, just use the pre-fork mode. For main threads that mostly
# spawn children and then wait for them to finish, use the pre-fork mode. For
# main threads that do a bit of processing themselves, use the post-fork mode.
# You may mix & match them for longer computation loops.
# @EXAMPLE:
#
# @CODE
# # First initialize things:
# multijob_init
#
# # Then hash a bunch of files in parallel:
# for n in {0..20} ; do
# multijob_child_init md5sum data.${n} > data.${n}
# done
#
# # Then wait for all the children to finish:
# multijob_finish
# @CODE

# @FUNCTION: bashpid
# @DESCRIPTION:
# Return the process id of the current sub shell. This is to support bash
# versions older than 4.0 that lack $BASHPID support natively. Simply do:
# echo ${BASHPID:-$(bashpid)}
#
# Note: Using this func in any other way than the one above is not supported.
bashpid() {
# Running bashpid plainly will return incorrect results. This func must
# be run in a subshell of the current subshell to get the right pid.
# i.e. This will show the wrong value:
# bashpid
# But this will show the right value:
# (bashpid)
sh -c 'echo ${PPID}'
}
# @FUNCTION: makeopts_jobs
# @USAGE: [${MAKEOPTS}]
# @DESCRIPTION:
# Searches the arguments (defaults to ${MAKEOPTS}) and extracts the jobs number
# specified therein. Useful for running non-make tools in parallel too.
# i.e. if the user has MAKEOPTS=-j9, this will echo "9" -- we can't return the
# number as bash normalizes it to [0, 255]. If the flags haven't specified a
# -j flag, then "1" is shown as that is the default `make` uses. Since there's
# no way to represent infinity, we return 999 if the user has -j without a number.
makeopts_jobs() {
[[ $# -eq 0 ]] && set -- ${MAKEOPTS}
# This assumes the first .* will be more greedy than the second .*
# since POSIX doesn't specify a non-greedy match (i.e. ".*?").
local jobs=$(echo " $* " | sed -r -n \
-e 's:.*[[:space:]](-j|--jobs[=[:space:]])[[:space:]]*([0-9]+).*:\2:p' \
-e 's:.*[[:space:]](-j|--jobs)[[:space:]].*:999:p')
echo ${jobs:-1}
}
# @FUNCTION: makeopts_loadavg
# @USAGE: [${MAKEOPTS}]
# @DESCRIPTION:
# Searches the arguments (defaults to ${MAKEOPTS}) and extracts the value set
# for load-average. For make and ninja based builds this will mean new jobs are
# not only limited by the jobs-value, but also by the current load - which might
# get excessive due to I/O and not just due to CPU load.
# Be aware that the returned number might be a floating-point number. Test
# whether your software supports that.
makeopts_loadavg() {
[[ $# -eq 0 ]] && set -- ${MAKEOPTS}
# This assumes the first .* will be more greedy than the second .*
# since POSIX doesn't specify a non-greedy match (i.e. ".*?").
local lavg=$(echo " $* " | sed -r -n \
-e 's:.*[[:space:]](-l|--(load-average|max-load)[=[:space:]])[[:space:]]*([0-9]+|[0-9]+\.[0-9]+).*:\3:p' \
-e 's:.*[[:space:]](-l|--(load-average|max-load))[[:space:]].*:999:p')
# Default to 999 since the default is to not use a load limit.
echo ${lavg:-999}

# @FUNCTION: multijob_init

# @FUNCTION: multijob_child_init
# @USAGE: [--pre|--post] [command to run in background]
# @DESCRIPTION:
# This function has two forms. You can use it to execute a simple command
# in the background (and it takes care of everything else), or you must
# call this first thing in your forked child process.
#
# The --pre/--post options allow you to select the child generation mode.
#
# @CODE
# # 1st form: pass the command line as arguments:
# multijob_child_init ls /dev
# # Or if you want to use pre/post fork modes:
# multijob_child_init --pre ls /dev
# multijob_child_init --post ls /dev
#
# # 2nd form: execute multiple stuff in the background (post fork):
# (
# multijob_child_init
# out=`ls`
# if echo "${out}" | grep foo ; then
# echo "YEAH"
# fi
# ) &
# multijob_post_fork
#
# # 2nd form: execute multiple stuff in the background (pre fork):
# multijob_pre_fork
# (
# multijob_child_init
# out=`ls`
# if echo "${out}" | grep foo ; then
# echo "YEAH"
