debugmergestate: make templated Our IntelliJ team wants to be able to read the merge state in order to help the user resolve merge conflicts. They had so far been reading file contents from p1() and p2() and their merge base. That is not ideal for several reasons (merge base is not necessarily the "graft base", renames are not handled, commands like `hg update -m` is not handled). It will get especially bad as of my D7827. This patch makes the output s a templated. I haven't bothered to make it complete (e.g. merge driver states are not handled), but it's probably good enough as a start. I've done a web search for "debugmergestate" and I can't find any indication that any tools currently rely on its output. If it turns out that we get bug reports for it once this is released, I won't object to backing this patch out on the stable branch (and then perhaps replace it by a separate command, or put it behind a new flag). The changes in test-backout.t are interesting, in particular this: ``` - other path: foo (node not stored in v1 format) + other path: (node foo) ``` I wonder if that means that we actually read v1 format incorrectly. That seems to be an old format that was switched away from in 2014, so it doesn't matter now anyway. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8120

Features

The following Cargo features are available:

localdev (default)

Produce files that work with an in-source-tree build.

In this mode, the build finds and uses a python2.7 binary from PATH. The hg binary assumes it runs from rust/target/<target>hg and it finds Mercurial files at dirname($0)/../../../.

Build Mechanism

The produced hg binary is bound to a CPython installation. The binary links against and loads a CPython library that is discovered at build time (by a build.rs Cargo build script). The Python standard library defined by this CPython installation is also used.

Finding the appropriate CPython installation to use is done by the python27-sys crate's build.rs. Its search order is:

  1. PYTHON_SYS_EXECUTABLE environment variable.
  2. python executable on PATH
  3. python2 executable on PATH
  4. python2.7 executable on PATH

Additional verification of the found Python will be performed by our build.rs to ensure it meets Mercurial's requirements.

Details about the build-time configured Python are built into the produced hg binary. This means that a built hg binary is only suitable for a specific, well-defined role. These roles are controlled by Cargo features (see above).

Running

The hgcli crate produces an hg binary. You can run this binary via cargo run:

$ cargo run --manifest-path hgcli/Cargo.toml

Or directly:

$ target/debug/hg
$ target/release/hg

You can also run the test harness with this binary:

$ ./run-tests.py --with-hg ../rust/target/debug/hg

Note

Integration with the test harness is still preliminary. Remember to cargo build after changes because the test harness doesn't yet automatically build Rust code.
