--------------------------------
Hi [~cmccabe]. Let me clarify about the small jiras that I've thought of (their
order, what they do, and what is the outcome).
The overall goal is that once all of these JIRA get in, libhdfs3 can be built
and run successfully in Windows Visual Studio. However, each individual JIRA
will not guarantee this big goal. Rather, it serves as a step toward the
overall goal. One requirement for each JIRA is that it should not break build
in Linux or Mac.
With this overview, here is the list of the proposed JIRAs.
# make cmake generate a solution file for VS 2010 (HDFS-7574). This JIRA only
contains changes for Cmakelist files. _Outcome_: running "cmake -G Visual
Studio 10 2010" will generate a solution file, loadable by VS 2010. Of course,
build in Windows will not be successful.
# add additional headers needed by Windows (HDFS-7577). This JIRA contains two
set of changes: (a) missing dummy headers file in Windows, and (b) cmake
changes to add header dirs. _Outcome_: build in Windows will still fail (with
smaller number of errors though, because now the missing headers are there).
# restructure the platform specific functions. The goal here is to make POSIX
specific code (e.g., in logging, stack printer, get local network address)
platform aware. Some examples would be {{platform_vsnprintf}} and
{{GetAdaptersAddresses}}, as you mentioned above. _Outcome_: build will success
in Windows, but the library will not function correctly, because Windows
counterpart are only placeholders.
# Implement platform specific functions in Windows. This JIRA simply fills in
those placeholders in #3 with the large chunks of Windows-specific code I
already have. _Outcome_: libhdfs3 now can be built successfully _and_ run
correctly.
Please let me know your thoughts.
