Mike Hommey e0bbb4aa9e Bug 1423802 - Handle stdc++compat and STLPORT_LIBS at the emitter level. r=nalexander
Bug 1256642 introduced magic at the emitter level to determine whether a
binary contains C++ sources and should be linked with the C compiler or
the C++ compiler.

Unfortunately, the Binary() moz.build template always adds C++ OS
libraries on Android (through STLPORT_LIBS), and C++ libraries on Linux
(stdc++compat).

The latter only ends up forcing every Binary() to be linked with the C++
linker, which is unfortunate, but doesn't cause much problems. The
former, however, involving OS libraries, the magic from bug 1256642
doesn't kick in, so we end up trying to link C++ OS libraries with the C
linker. Which ends up failing, because the libraries in STLPORT_LIBS
require -lm, which, while it's added by the C++ compiler when linking,
is not when the linkage is driven by the C compiler.

Because the fallible library, linked to all GeckoBinary()s is a C++
library, we still ended up linking with the C++ compiler on Android, so
this wasn't actually causing any problem... until I tried to remove that
fallible library in bug 1423803.

Anyways, the core problem is that moz.build evaluation is happening too
early to know whether any C++ sources are being linked together, so
there is no way the Binary() template can do the right thing. So this
change moves the logic to the emitter.

This also changes the type of STLPORT_LIBS to a list.

Breakpad

Breakpad is a set of client and server components which implement a crash-reporting system.

Getting started (from master)

  1. First, download depot_tools and ensure that theyre in your PATH.

  2. Create a new directory for checking out the source code (it must be named breakpad).

    mkdir breakpad && cd breakpad
    
  3. Run the fetch tool from depot_tools to download all the source repos.

    fetch breakpad
    cd src
    
  4. Build the source.

    ./configure && make
    

    You can also cd to another directory and run configure from there to build outside the source tree.

    This will build the processor tools (src/processor/minidump_stackwalk, src/processor/minidump_dump, etc), and when building on Linux it will also build the client libraries and some tools (src/tools/linux/dump_syms/dump_syms, src/tools/linux/md2core/minidump-2-core, etc).

  5. Optionally, run tests.

    make check
    
  6. Optionally, install the built libraries

    make install
    

If you need to reconfigure your build be sure to run make distclean first.

To update an existing checkout to a newer revision, you can git pull as usual, but then you should run gclient sync to ensure that the dependent repos are up-to-date.

To request change review

  1. Follow the steps above to get the source and build it.

  2. Make changes. Build and test your changes. For core code like processor use methods above. For linux/mac/windows, there are test targets in each project file.

  3. Commit your changes to your local repo and upload them to the server. http://dev.chromium.org/developers/contributing-code e.g. git commit ... && git cl upload ... You will be prompted for credential and a description.

  4. At https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/ you'll find your issue listed; click on it, then “Add reviewer”, and enter in the code reviewer. Depending on your settings, you may not see an email, but the reviewer has been notified with google-breakpad-dev@googlegroups.com always CCd.
