Commit Message

Jason Merrill Jan. 13, 2022, 10:08 p.m. UTC
When a sequence of diagnostic messages bounces back and forth repeatedly
between two includes, as with

 #include <map>
 std::map<const char*, const char*> m ("123", "456");

The output is quite a bit longer than necessary because we dump the include
path each time it changes.  I'd think we could print the include path once
for each header file, and then expect that the user can look earlier in the
output if they're wondering.

Tested x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, OK for trunk?

gcc/ChangeLog:

	* diagnostic.c (includes_seen): New.
	(diagnostic_report_current_module): Use it.

Overall, I like the idea, but...

- the patch works at the level of line_map_ordinary instances, rather
than header files.  There are various ways in which a single header
file can have multiple line maps e.g. due to very long lines, or
including another file, etc.  I think it makes sense to do it at the
per-file level, assuming we aren't in a horrible situation where a
header is being included repeatedly, with different effects.  So maybe
this ought to look at what include directive led to this map, i.e.
looking at the ord_map->included_from field, and having a
hash_set<location_t> ?

- there's no test coverage, but it's probably not feasible to write
DejaGnu tests for this, given the way prune.exp's prune_gcc_output
strips these strings.  Maybe a dg directive to selectively disable the
pertinent pruning operations in prune_gcc_output???  Gah...

- global state is a pet peeve of mine; can the above state be put
inside the diagnostic_context instead?   (perhaps via a pointer to a
wrapper class to avoid requiring all users of diagnostic.h to include
hash-set.h?).

Hope this is constructive

Done.  This version doesn't affect printing of the module import path 
yet, pending more consideration of whether we always want to identify 
the module it comes from or just the file/line is enough.

It seems that using hash_set directly doesn't break any users.

Seems like a good choice given that everyone's going to be much less
familiar with modules than with include files, for some time.

Thanks.  The updated patch looks good to me.
