old-configure and js/src/old-configure interestingly didn't handle both
the same way. But vtune support is only actually implemented in js/src,
so only the rules from js/src/old-configure matter (nothing was
enforcing the decistion from old-configure to js/src/old-configure), and
this is what is implemented here.
Until we stop relying on the raw_cpu and raw_os values from target and
host, we need to keep normalizing them like old-configure.in did, which
involves filtering them through config.sub.
This aligns with the triplets used by clang/llvm. Technically, this
won't break iOS builds still using -darwin triplets until we move
MOZ_IOS_SDK to moz.configure and actively reject non iOS targets with
the iOS sdk.
Also allow to distinguish iOS and OSX with target.os.
Because some of the existing mozconfigs may be setting some variables,
we need to inject those that are handled by moz.configure now. It likely
doesn't matter for the variables currently in moz.configure, but it will
soon become important when more things are moved to moz.configure.
In fact, it is necessary for GENISOIMAGE and DSYMUTIL that we're going
to move in this bug, set in automation mozconfigs.
The implementation is cumbersome and quite horrible. We could do better
by changing the execution model in mozbuild.configure, which is probably
necessary for other reasons as well, but that requires more work and
testing.
With all the things that still depend on all the variables derived from
--host and --target in both old-configure and moz.build, we still need
to keep variables such as OS_ARCH, OS_TARGET, CPU_ARCH, OS_TEST, etc.
Eventually, we'd settle on the output of split_triplet.
This /tries/ to preserve the current values for all these variables,
while also trying to make things a little more consistent. It also
effectively rejects OSes such as HPUX or AIX, because it is unclear
the decades old accumulated scripts related to them still do anything
useful, and we might as well have them start again from scratch, which,
in the coming weeks, will be even easier.
While the long term goal is that js and top-level use the same configure
and the same overall setup, including the possibility to use mozconfigs,
figuring out what we want to do wrt mozconfig vs. command line and
environment variable is not a clear-cut case, and it's more important to
fix the immediate problem mozconfig causes to js developers by
"temporarily" returning to the previous behavior of not loading the
mozconfig for the js configure.
This was already done in the case of running it as a subconfigure, this
extends the exception. Unfortunately, there is no direct way to tell
whether the running configure is the js configure. The indirect way is
to look at the OLD_CONFIGURE path, which points to
js/src/old-configure.
I expect we'll have figured things out for mozconfigs well before
old-configure dies.
The implementation is a bit circumvoluted, but we do need to share
options between the top-level and js/src configures, possibly with
different defaults, and to properly pass things down from one to
the other. Until we are further down the road and can actually merge
both configures, this is a necessary evil.
Because --enable-application is the current way to do things, transpose
it to configure.py, but since --enable-application=js doesn't make
sense, make it an alias of a new --enable-project option.
This only partially moves --enable-application out of old-configure.in
because there are a lot of other things intertwined with it.
This moves all the reading mozconfig, finding autoconf, refreshing the
old configure, and running the old configure into sandboxed
moz.configure. This effectively bootstraps the sandboxed python configure.
