Hard-Coded Paths in glibc.modulemap

Good day, Swift package manager development folks.

(There are at least two separate issues being inquired about, but with the same introductory context.)

"Cloudy" deployment options derived from or akin to CloudFoundry are agonizingly locked-down environments. Essentially Swift and all of its dependencies and one's project's dependencies must be stuffed into an arbitrary directory (henceforth referred to as "the hole," but usually /app/ ) and build processes performed without any root-user privileges. One consequence is that one cannot use the OS' package-management system to install dependencies, but one must obtain them and wrestle them into "the hole," instead. The strategy seems rather silly.

While developing a so-called "buildpack" for Swift 3 projects to be deployed via CloudFoundryish options and utilizing the 'swift build' command, I have come across a few issues.

One issue is that 'swift build' wants to do something with the /usr/lib/swift/linux/x86_64/glibc.modulemap file, but that file contains a hard-coded path to a ///usr/include/complex.h header-file. As is usually the case, this hard-coded path will only work in a narrow set of environments, which excludes "the hole" that CloudFoundry provides. I have attempted to use '-Xcc -I/the/hole' and '-Xswiftc -I/the/hole' command-line arguments, but I do not observe these paths (nor sub-paths) being tried for the complex.h header-file during complication. I used 'strace' to trace the compilation process, including all subprocesses.

Is there some other mechanism to instruct the Swift 3 package manager that its [unfortunately] hard-coded paths are relative to some particular path? If not, would it be sensible to introduce some logic to specify such a prefix path?

Thank you for your time and attention.

Why do you want the headers inside the app sandbox? Usually they would remain outside.

Have you looked at IBM's CloudFoundry build pack (https://github.com/IBM-Swift/swift-buildpack\)? How does it handle the problem you are trying to solve?

Thank you for your kind response.

As mentioned, there is no choice: If the headers aren't present in the base image that a particular Cloud provider provides, they can only be present in the application sand-box by one's own hand.

All Swift build-packs to date and to my knowledge use Swift 2.2 and do not use the Swift 3 'swift build' process. I'm trying to develop the next generation.

IBM's buildpack as well as the ones from which it descends (
GitHub - cloudfoundry-community/swift-buildpack and
https://github.com/kylef/heroku-buildpack-swift\) are all based around
SwiftPM and the `swift build` command. I have not personally experienced
the problem you are describing either, although I have not tried pushing
any apps using more recent Swift toolchain snapshots.

Can you provide more details about how the error presents itself? Have you
tried using any of these other buildpacks with your app code?

What underlying OS is your build process running on? And where are you
getting your Swift toolchain?

Within your toolchain is a `glibc.modulemap` which contains hard-coded
absolute paths to certain system headers. The failure you are seeing is
presumably due to the fact that system headers are not present at those
paths. You may have to manually modify the modulemap to point to the actual
location of the headers on the system that is performing the build.

This old bug contains some tidbits that may also help you understand what's
going on here: Issues · apple/swift · GitHub

The IBM build pack installs a number of system dependencies which should
include those headers, though. You should have the headers rooted at /usr,
not try and have them in the app sandbox.

Thanks, but let me try to explain for a third time: The build environment provided by CloudFoundry-style providers is locked-down. You have no choice where things go. They must all go inside a sandbox. That means you cannot put headers underneath the /usr/ directory. There is no way out of the sandbox, as there are no root-user privileges.

This is why I'm asking about whether or not it's reasonable for Swift to avoid hard-coded paths, or to at least allow a given prefix to be specified.

Thank you again.

My answers two your two questions are: Ubuntu 14.04. From here[3]. (Despite having shared this[2] link below, by mistake.)

The CloudFoundry build process is an automated process which involves downloading Swift. If that automated process then further has to modify portions of Swift source-code to "play nice" with the Cloud Foundry build environment's [silly] limitations, that is very tedious and means that a "delta" for a specific version of Swift has to be integrated into the automated build process. I am suggesting that hard-coded paths in Swift source-code is not a good idea and I am hopeful to meet with agreement or with a discovery that I'm missing a key idea for why these paths ought to remain hard-coded.

My two questions are:

Is there some other mechanism to instruct the Swift 3 package manager that its [unfortunately] hard-coded paths are relative to some particular path? If not, would it be sensible to introduce some logic to specify such a prefix path?

You have stated that, but the IBM build pack works, uses CloudFoundry, and it clearly uses apt-get to install things in the system. You haven't explained how your environment is different yet.

Clang modulemap files currently have a limitation in that they can only use
absolute paths for headers. Because the buildpack environment does not
allow installing files under /usr, you should look into editing the
modulemap to point to the correct location.

I am surprised, though, that a standard libc header like complex.h wouldn't
be available under /usr in your environment already. For example the Cloud
Foundry cflinuxfs2 environment provides an Ubuntu image with libc
development files already installed, which I would expect to work.

Thanks, but let me try to explain for a third time: The build environment
provided by CloudFoundry-style providers is locked-down. You have no
choice where things go. They must all go inside a sandbox. That means you
cannot put headers underneath the /usr/ directory. There is no way out of
the sandbox, as there are no root-user privileges.

This is why I'm asking about whether or not it's reasonable for Swift to
avoid hard-coded paths, or to at least allow a given prefix to be specified.

Note that the IBM buildpack works around the environmental restrictions by
configuring apt-get to install packages in subdirectories of the buildpack
sandbox, rather than in the standard system directories. This works great,
but can still cause issues with components that search for things with
absolute paths to the standard directories.

Ah, thanks! That was the missing piece of info and I missed that in the script.

If you truly need to install a full set of headers in a sandboxed location, then the compiler arguments to use to point at that location are the `--sysroot` ones for Clang. I haven't tried this myself, so YMMV, but something like `-Xcc --sysroot -Xcc /app/.delta` *might* work.

You have stated that, but the IBM build pack works, uses CloudFoundry, and it clearly uses apt-get to install things in the system. You haven't explained how your environment is different yet.

This is why I'm asking about whether or not it's reasonable for Swift to avoid hard-coded paths, or to at least allow a given prefix to be specified.

Within your toolchain is a `glibc.modulemap` which contains hard-coded absolute paths to certain system headers. The failure you are seeing is presumably due to the fact that system headers are not present at those paths. You may have to manually modify the modulemap to point to the actual location of the headers on the system that is performing the build.

Thank you for your kind response.

The command I execute is: swift build -Xcc -I/app/.delta/ -Xswiftc -I/app/.delta/ -v

The /app/.delta/ directory is where Swift and most dependencies have been dumped. The file /app/.delta/usr/include/complex.h exists. The error is:

Thank you for pointing out that these build-packs are using 'swift build'. The two build-packs I'd looked at earlier today did not and I thought I'd recalled them having derived from the others you've mentioned. I was mistaken. My command somewhat resembles the IBM Bluemix build-pack command[1], which is:
swift build --configuration release -Xcc -fblocks -Xcc -I$BUILD_DIR/.apt/usr/include ...and so on...

I am using this[2] Swift. Running 'strace' on the BASh and all of its subprocesses during the compilation yields only these two instances of "complex":

[pid 28678] stat("///usr/include/complex.h", 0x7ffe84061ef0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
[pid 28679] write(2, "header '///usr/include/complex.h' not found", 43) = 43

Thank you. The 'swiftc' command doesn't appear to care about the '--sysroot' parameter with respect to header-paths. 'strace' yields only examination of the absolute paths for the headers.
