[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 2/3] configure: require glib 2.26

[marcandre.lureau]

From: Marc-André Lureau <marcandre.lureau@redhat.com>

This allows to use the GLIB_VERSION macros that will help to ensure the
newer symbols are not being used (or with compatibility code).

Apologies if I missed some discussions, but isn't SLES 11 still at
2.22? (The SLES 11 system I used has been upgraded to SLES 12, so I
can't check myself.)

Do we still aim to be able to build on any still-supported enterprise
distro?

We had a discussion about glib min version a few months back where it
was decided 2.22 was the maximum we could use at the current time
without us loosing support for certain platforms we care about.

Simply being able to use the GLIB_VERSION macro does not seem like a
compelling enough reason to re-vist this min version again right now,
as I doubt we've changed our mind on what platforms we wish to target
in the last couple of months.

Daniel

Fair enough, I couldn't find the discussion where 2.22 was decided to
be the maximum requirement, but SLES11 seems to be the reason then.

What about just using the macro, but not bumping glib requirement?

It would be desirable -  I think someone explored using the GLIB_VERSION
macros before, without bumping version. I can't remember what the problem
was that made them abandon that though - maybe someone else recalls...

I think that was David Gilbert, and I vaguely recall there being
bad interactions with our glib-compat.h header.

The version check macros will complain about our back-porting of glib
functions as seen in glib-compat, yes. I think David Gilbert and I each
had a stab at it.

It's fine if you're running 2.22 or so, but if you are running a more
modern version that actually provides the functions we backport/emulate,
the version check macros will catch that and set an error.

Not sure if there's some sort of squelch mechanism. "I know I told you
to complain if I use a 2.23+ function, but forgive me just this once."

My notes and memory are both somewhat fuzzy on it.

I think that the GLIB_VERSION_MIN/MAX macros only went in in 2.32
but then once you have them they offer a range allowing you to state you
need a minimum of 2.26;  so if we bump the minimum to 2.26
then becareful to check it still works at that.

The interaction of stuff that includes glib.h and others that
include glib-compat.h was messy; I was working on the assumption
that stuff that included glib-compat.h knew it was using newer
things and didn't expect a warning; the problem that Peter
pointed out was that glib-compat gets included by qemu-common so
actually the warnings get disabled in loads of places.

Yep; I also want glib-compat to be included by osdep.h and
every .c file to include osdep.h, at which point every source
file ends up including it.
