      Fix bug #19 in permutations and sequences too · 032430e3
      xentrac authored
      In `h_sequence__ma` the same bug occurs, and it manifests as a crash
      in the same way, so I've added a test for it.  In `h_permutation__ma`
      it evidently exists in the same form, but I haven't figured out how to
      reproduce it; in that case I added a fix to the implementation, but no
      test.

      Add regression test for bug #19 · 302f2f9f
      xentrac authored
      I committed the fix for bug #19 without a test because I didn't know
      how our test worked yet; here's a test.
      
      A somewhat more desirable way to do this would be to commit the
      test *first*, marked as "incomplete" with `g_test_incomplete()` (an
      expected failure).  However, `g_test_incomplete()` does not handle
      segfaults!  There's no way to mark a segfaulting test as an "expected
      segfault".  So if you want to verify that this test reveals the bug,
      you'll need to `git show thiscommit | patch -p1` or something, in a
      tree that doesn't have the fix applied.  Or you can comment out the
      fix, I guess.

          >>> h.choice(h.ch('0')).compile(h._PB_GLR)

          ==18856==    by 0x49B0CA3: HParser__compile (hammer_wrap.c:3567)
      
      The particular thing that it's saying is uninitialized seems to be
      
            if(parser->desugared == NULL) {
      
      The `parser` in question is the `HParser` we're trying to desugar,
      which is presumably the choice object created by `h.choice`, which
      seems to be invoking `h_choice__a`:
      
          def choice(*args): return _h_choice__a(list(args))
      
      That was implemented as follows:
      
          HParser* h_choice__a(void *args[]) {
            return h_choice__ma(&system_allocator, args);
          }
      
          HParser* h_choice__ma(HAllocator* mm__, void *args[]) {
            size_t len = -1; // because do...while
            const HParser *arg;
      
            do {
              arg=((HParser **)args)[++len];
            } while(arg);
      
            HSequence *s = h_new(HSequence, 1);
            s->p_array = h_new(HParser *, len);
      
            for (size_t i = 0; i < len; i++) {
              s->p_array[i] = ((HParser **)args)[i];
            }
      
            s->len = len;
            HParser *ret = h_new(HParser, 1);
            ret->vtable = &choice_vt;
            ret->env = (void*)s;
            ret->backend = PB_MIN;
            return ret;
          }
      
      Indeed it does not seem to have been initializing `desugared`.  Fixing
      this cures this symptom.
      
      Other things it's probably worth checking out:
      
      - Are there other places where we create HParser objects where one or
        more fields may be uninitialized?
      - Perhaps `h_new` should zero the memory it returns, since it's only
        used for fixed-size objects and not things like variable-size
        character buffers?

      Get JNI shared library to build with SCons · 2fd2a1d8
      xentrac authored
      This was a real adventure since I didn’t know anything about SCons, and
      I can’t say that I’m fond of scons after it, but it does seem to work.
      There were two obstacles.
      
      First, the ConfigureJNI module doesn’t successfully configure the JNI on
      my system because it was expecting to find `JAVA_HOME` in .., so I added
      a little code to notice if it’s failing to find a place where `jni.h`
      exists.  (And on my system I did `export
      JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64` before running it, but your
      pathnames will vary.)  There was a hardcoded pathname in SConscript,
      presumably as an interim debugging measure, which I removed.  A
      reasonable default to try on Debian-derived systems such as Ubuntu and
      LinuxMint might be `/usr/lib/jvm/default-java`, but I didn’t implement
      that.
      
      Second, in SConscript, the JNI include directories were being stuck into
      a `javaenv` SCons environment object, which was used to build the Java
      classes providing the Java interfaces to Hammer, but not the C files
      containing the native methods themselves.  Consequently the compiler
      couldn’t find the JDK JNI headers when it tried to compile the C code
      into a shared library.  It might make sense to use `javaenv` to compile
      that shared library, but in case it doesn’t, I cloned the default
      environment with an extra include directory.
      
      I hope this is soon enough to be helpful!
