refactor(deps): Document standard rules for writing lib install tasks and apply across all existing tasks:

[Bill-hbrhbr]

• Remove redundant checksum validation for antlr-jar.
• Refactor antlr-runtime to build via utils:install-remote-cmake-lib.
• Modify CMAKE_GEN_ARGS of each task to conform to the newly set rules.
• Make spider platform check POSIX-compatible

Description

Due to various CMAKE_GEN_ARGS issues encountered while reviewing other PRs such as #1377 and #1414, we standardize CMake lib writing once and for all to cut down on future review/development time.

Walkthrough

Adds a dependency-taskfiles README and refactors taskfiles/deps/main.yaml to centralize dependency installation via install-remote-cmake-lib, inline tarball URLs/SHA256, standardize extraction naming, and normalize CMake generation arguments across many libraries.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Documentation taskfiles/deps/README.md	New guidelines for writing/updating dependency installation taskfiles: preferred install tasks, checksum guidance, extraction dir naming, and recommended CMake generation arguments and flags.
Centralized installer & per-lib updates taskfiles/deps/main.yaml	Reworked dependency entries to use install-remote-cmake-lib with parameters (LIB_NAME, TARBALL_URL, TARBALL_SHA256, CMAKE_GEN_ARGS, CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR); inlined many tarball URLs/SHA256; removed numerous legacy public vars (e.g., VERSION, CHECKSUM_FILE, OUTPUT_FILE) and consolidated CMake flags and extraction naming conventions (e.g., -src → -extracted).
Specific dependency adjustments taskfiles/deps/main.yaml — antlr-jar, antlr-runtime, boost, catch2, liblzma, log-surgeon, lz4, mariadb-connector-cpp, mongocxx, msgpack-cxx, nlohmann_json, simdjson, spdlog, sqlite3, utfcpp, yaml-cpp, ystdlib, zlib, zstd	Per-package changes include: removal of legacy public variables; fixed-versioned TARBALL_URLs; added/normalized CMAKE_GEN_ARGS (enable shared libs, disable tests/docs/examples, set CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release, CMAKE_INSTALL_MESSAGE=LAZY, CMake policy flags where needed); extraction dir/name changes; and smaller formatting/script tweaks.

Estimated code review effort

🎯 3 (Moderate) | ⏱️ ~25 minutes

• Review focus areas:
  • Verify per-package CMAKE_GEN_ARGS correctness (flags and policy changes).
  • Confirm inlined TARBALL_URL/TARBALL_SHA256 values match intended releases.
  • Ensure extraction dir/name changes (-extracted) and any downstream consumers are updated.
  • Check removal of public variables doesn't break callers that reference them.

Possibly related issues

• Rework library installation processes in dep task. #1477: Matches this PR's centralization of installs, checksum/tarball handling, CMake settings normalization, and extraction-directory naming changes.

Learning: In the CLP project, when reviewing CMakeLists.txt changes that introduce new compression library dependencies (BZip2, LibLZMA, LZ4, ZLIB), the team prefers to address conditional linking improvements in separate PRs rather than expanding the scope of focused migration PRs like the LibArchive task-based installation migration.

Timestamp: 2025-05-28T18:33:30.155Z
Learning: In the taskfiles dependency system (taskfiles/deps/main.yaml), echo commands are used to generate .cmake settings files that are consumed by the main CMake build process. These files set variables like ANTLR_RUNTIME_HEADER to point to dependency locations for use during compilation.

Other ZLIB_BUILD_* flags (MINIZIP, SHARED, STATIC, TESTING) and ZLIB_INSTALL are not defined in the CMakeLists.txt and have no effect. Use BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON for shared library control and ZLIB_BUILD_EXAMPLES=OFF to disable examples.

🔇 Additional comments (4)

taskfiles/deps/main.yaml (2)

167-186: Refactor of antlr-runtime to centralized installer is sound.

The migration from per-component build sequences to utils:install-remote-cmake-lib with inlined tarball URLs/SHA256 and CMAKE_GEN_ARGS is well-structured. The addition of CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR: "runtime/Cpp" correctly targets the C++ runtime subdirectory, and the CMP0135 policy flag ensures consistent timestamp handling.

---

155-165: Checksum removal for antlr-jar is appropriate.

The redundant checksum validation step has been properly removed. The yscope-dev-utils:remote:curl task inherently includes checksum verification via the FILE_SHA256 parameter, eliminating the need for a separate validation step. This aligns with the PR's goal to standardize and streamline dependency installation.

taskfiles/deps/README.md (2)

5-11: Guideline hierarchy is clear and actionable.

The preference order for installation tasks (install-remote-cmake-lib first, then install-remote-tar, then special cases) is explicit and aligns with the centralized installer approach. The requirement to include utils:init in deps: for special tasks and to provide rationale is well-documented.

---

20-40: CMake Generate Arguments guidelines align with standardization goals.

The documented rules for CMAKE_GEN_ARGS—including CMP0074 handling, shared/static library building, test/doc/example skipping, and library-specific flags over generic BUILD_TESTING—are well-reasoned and provide concrete direction. The exceptions for CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE and CMAKE_INSTALL_MESSAGE are appropriately justified.

@Bill-hbrhbr: Here are the diffs for each lib install task between PR #1377 and current PR #1479, with all comments inside the tasks preserved:

The key structural differences across all tasks:

PR #1377 structure (separate files):

version: "3"

tasks:
  default:
    # task content

Current PR #1479 structure (inline in main.yaml):

  task-name:
    # task content

Main changes:

1. Task references: :task → utils:task or yscope-dev-utils:task
2. Variables: Template variables like {{.VERSION}} → hardcoded values
3. Dependencies: for loops → direct task dependencies
4. Missing CMAKE flags: Some tasks added -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release and -DCMAKE_INSTALL_MESSAGE=LAZY (e.g., ystdlib)

Special cases:

• liblzma: The liblzma-install helper task was embedded in the same file in PR refactor(taskfile): Split main dependency Taskfile into category-specific modules; Migrate antlr-runtime and utfcpp to use utils:install-remote-cmake-lib. #1377, but is now a separate task in main.yaml
• mariadb-connector-cpp: Extraction incomplete (only shows task name) - this task has platforms and preconditions that may have affected extraction

All 23 complete lib install tasks have been compared with their full content including comments preserved in the diffs above.

@Bill-hbrhbr Here are the diffs for each lib install task comparing the current version in PR #1479 against PR #1377:

Summary of Key Differences

The diffs reveal the structural changes between the two approaches:

PR #1377 (Modular Approach)

• Each library has its own separate YAML file in taskfiles/deps/installs/
• Each file has version: "3" declaration
• Uses default: as the task name (standard for included taskfiles)
• Task references use : prefix to reference parent namespace (e.g., :utils:install-remote-cmake-lib)
• Some tasks use for loops for dependencies (log-surgeon, msgpack-cxx, spdlog, ystdlib)
• Some use variables for versions (boost, mongocxx, msgpack-cxx)

Current PR #1479 (Monolithic Approach)

• All library tasks embedded directly in taskfiles/deps/main.yaml
• Task names match library names (e.g., absl:, boost:)
• Task references are relative (e.g., utils:install-remote-cmake-lib)
• Dependencies are listed explicitly rather than using for loops
• Versions are hardcoded in URLs rather than using variables
• Additional CMAKE_GEN_ARGS in ystdlib task (-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release, -DCMAKE_INSTALL_MESSAGE=LAZY)

Notable Content Differences

1. ystdlib: Current version includes additional CMAKE arguments
2. liblzma: Slightly different YAML formatting for TARBALL_URL (folded string vs. literal)
3. boost, mongocxx, msgpack-cxx: PR refactor(taskfile): Split main dependency Taskfile into category-specific modules; Migrate antlr-runtime and utfcpp to use utils:install-remote-cmake-lib. #1377 uses version variables, current has hardcoded versions

All 23 library install task diffs are shown in the output above. The main difference is the organizational structure, with PR #1377 splitting each library into its own file following a standard pattern, while the current PR keeps them all in main.yaml.

Timestamp: 2025-07-23T09:54:45.185Z
Learning: In the CLP project, when reviewing CMakeLists.txt changes that introduce new compression library dependencies (BZip2, LibLZMA, LZ4, ZLIB), the team prefers to address conditional linking improvements in separate PRs rather than expanding the scope of focused migration PRs like the LibArchive task-based installation migration.

Timestamp: 2025-05-28T18:33:30.155Z
Learning: In the taskfiles dependency system (taskfiles/deps/main.yaml), echo commands are used to generate .cmake settings files that are consumed by the main CMake build process. These files set variables like ANTLR_RUNTIME_HEADER to point to dependency locations for use during compilation.

Learning: In zlib v1.3.1's CMake build system, only ZLIB_BUILD_EXAMPLES is a valid option. Other ZLIB_BUILD_* flags (MINIZIP, SHARED, STATIC, TESTING) and ZLIB_INSTALL are not defined in the CMakeLists.txt and have no effect. Use BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON for shared library control and ZLIB_BUILD_EXAMPLES=OFF to disable examples.

🔇 Additional comments (6)

taskfiles/deps/main.yaml (6)

155-186: LGTM: antlr-jar and antlr-runtime refactoring is clean.

The antlr-jar task correctly references the global G_ANTLR_JAR_FILE variable, and the antlr-runtime task is properly refactored to use install-remote-cmake-lib with appropriate CMake flags. The CMP0135 policy and comment explaining its purpose are well preserved.

---

296-313: Verify whether log-surgeon needs CMP0074=NEW policy.

The task uses -C {{.G_DEPS_CPP_CMAKE_SETTINGS_DIR}}/{{.G_FMT_LIB_NAME}}.cmake and {{.G_GSL_LIB_NAME}}.cmake config files for dependencies, which may internally use <PackageName>_ROOT variables. Per the README, CMP0074 should be set to NEW when the component depends on another via <lib_name>_ROOT. Compare this to msgpack-cxx (line 401) and spdlog (line 454), which both set CMAKE_POLICY_DEFAULT_CMP0074=NEW when using similar config files.

Does log-surgeon's CMakeLists.txt use find_package(fmt) and find_package(Microsoft.GSL) that would benefit from CMP0074? If so, add:

  CMAKE_GEN_ARGS:
    - "-C {{.G_DEPS_CPP_CMAKE_SETTINGS_DIR}}/{{.G_FMT_LIB_NAME}}.cmake"
    - "-C {{.G_DEPS_CPP_CMAKE_SETTINGS_DIR}}/{{.G_GSL_LIB_NAME}}.cmake"
+   - "-DCMAKE_POLICY_DEFAULT_CMP0074=NEW"
    - "-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release"

---

530-546: Verify whether ystdlib needs CMP0074=NEW policy.

The task uses -C {{.G_DEPS_CPP_CMAKE_SETTINGS_DIR}}/{{.G_BOOST_LIB_NAME}}.cmake to load Boost configuration, which is the same pattern as msgpack-cxx (line 401) and spdlog (line 454). Both of those tasks explicitly set CMAKE_POLICY_DEFAULT_CMP0074=NEW, but ystdlib does not.

Confirm whether ystdlib's CMakeLists.txt uses find_package(Boost) in a way that would benefit from CMP0074. If so, add it to CMAKE_GEN_ARGS:

  CMAKE_GEN_ARGS:
    - "-C {{.G_DEPS_CPP_CMAKE_SETTINGS_DIR}}/{{.G_BOOST_LIB_NAME}}.cmake"
+   - "-DCMAKE_POLICY_DEFAULT_CMP0074=NEW"
    - "-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release"

465-514: LGTM: sqlite3 and utfcpp follow new naming conventions.

Both tasks correctly use the -extracted directory suffix as per README guidance. The direct CMake config file generation via heredoc is appropriate for these special cases that don't use standard CMake install paths.

---

548-564: LGTM: zlib CMake arguments are correct.

Uses only valid zlib v1.3.1 configuration options (specifically ZLIB_BUILD_EXAMPLES=OFF rather than invalid ZLIB_BUILD_* variants). The special CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX handling is appropriate for zlib's structure.

241-256: Verify whether fmt should build both shared and static libraries.

Per the README, tasks should "build both shared and static libraries when possible." The fmt task (line 248) only sets BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON. Verify whether fmt's CMake supports static library builds and whether both variants are needed by downstream consumers.

If fmt supports and should build static libraries, add a corresponding flag or consider a pattern similar to liblzma (which invokes the task twice with different BUILD_SHARED_LIBS values).

The code lgtm. The doc needs some more works.

LGTM. This PR just makes me think that we need some documents in yscope-dev-utils to explain how to use the tasks. Some logic, e.g. checksum validation should be in task dependency, is hard to understand at first glance. Do you think it worth the effort @kirkrodrigues ?

@davidlion In the near future, we could add some simple docs on how-to-use the checksum stuff.
