Bug#838260: diffoscope: Reduce noise from offsets deltas in readelf(1) diffs

2016-09-19 Thread Daniel Shahaf 
Package: diffoscope
Version: 60
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

A difference in an ELF binary file can cause offsets throughout the
file to shift, usually by all of them by the same amount.

Typical example:

│   │   │   │   │  ./build/../src/nvim/indent_c.c:658
│   │   │   │   │ -   44436:48 8d 35 01 77 1c 00lea
0x1c7701(%rip),%rsi
│   │   │   │   │ +   44436:48 8d 35 f8 76 1c 00lea
0x1c76f8(%rip),%rsi
│   │   │   │   │  ./build/../src/nvim/main.c:749
│   │   │   │   │ 46eea:48 8b 3c 24 mov(%rsp),%rdi
│   │   │   │   │ -   46eee:48 8d 35 7f 50 1c 00lea
0x1c507f(%rip),%rsi
│   │   │   │   │ +   46eee:48 8d 35 76 50 1c 00lea
0x1c5076(%rip),%rsi

Here, 0x1c7701-0x1c76f8 = 0x1c507f-0x1c5076 = 9.  There are several
screenfuls of such differences, which reduces the signal-to-noise ratio
of the output, since all of these differences are secondary; the primary
difference is whatever caused the 9 bytes shift in the first place.

(On this instance, the 9 bytes offset was caused by a string literal
being present in the first build but not in the second build.)

Could these offset differences in readelf(1) output be ignored, at least
optionally?  This would make it easier to find the root cause by reading
the diff.

Cheers,

Daniel

Bug#838260: diffoscope: Reduce noise from offsets deltas in readelf(1) diffs

2016-09-19 Thread Chris Lamb 
Hi Daniel,

> optionally?

Love the idea! However, my gut cautions against ignoring them. even with an
option. 

Perhaps there is a perfect solution whereby we would normalise these two
offsets to — making it up here! — relative values, but simply need to 
nclude that we have done that once in the diff. That way, we have a) still
captured the underlying issue, b) reduced the noise, and c) avoided a
cumbersome option flag.

Apologies, I had assumed it was just a case of changing a few specific
lines in the Jenkins config file to point to new locations.

no. we need a job then to build the stuff etc. see my previous reply to
this thread…

currently we have git hook which builds the website. as we move the git
repo on another host we need something new.

OK, it turns out they use this to mean the parent of the package's source root, 
i.e. the directory that contains many packages' source code. This is what I was 
afraid some projects might use "source root" to mean (i.e. something like 
/usr/src), in the same way that $datarootdir in GNU conventions means 
/usr/share and $datadir refers to /usr/share/$pkg.

This is too long, I will just go with SOURCE_ROOT_DIR for the time being unless 
I get some better ideas. SOURCE_TOP_DIR is another candidate (used by 1 package 
as a python constant [1]) but I think both "top" and "root" suffers similarly 
from the ambiguity issue described previously.

[1] https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=\bSOURCE_ROOT_DIR\b

On an unrelated note, I don't like this overuse of "I disagree" and it's a 
really bad pattern I've seen in various other internet threads. It's (1) a 
waste of readers' time (2) adds nothing to the discussion and (3) is 
pointlessly antagonistic. Indeed if 10 people replied to this thread merely to 
say "I disagree" I would completely disregard these replies; they don't push 
the discussion forward, nor explain why something is to be disagreed with. The 
statement is useless, let's focus on writing sentences actually related to the 
topic at hand.
