I used these shell commands:
../glibc/scripts/update-copyrights $PWD/../gnulib/build-aux/update-copyright
(cd ../glibc && git commit -am"[this commit message]")
and then ignored the output, which consisted lines saying "FOO: warning:
copyright statement not found" for each of 6694 files FOO.
I then removed trailing white space from benchtests/bench-pthread-locks.c
and iconvdata/tst-iconv-big5-hkscs-to-2ucs4.c, to work around this
diagnostic from Savannah:
remote: *** pre-commit check failed ...
remote: *** error: lines with trailing whitespace found
remote: error: hook declined to update refs/heads/master
Add a small library to print JSON values and use it to improve the
readability of the benchmark output and the readability of the
benchmark code.
ChangeLog:
2014-04-11 Will Newton <will.newton@linaro.org>
* benchtests/Makefile (extra-objs): Add json-lib.o.
(bench-func): Tidy up JSON output.
* benchtests/bench-skeleton.c: Include json-lib.h.
(main): Use JSON library functions to do output of
benchmark results.
* benchtests/bench-timing-type.c (main): Output the
timing type simply, leaving formatting to the user.
* benchtests/json-lib.c: New file.
* benchtests/json-lib.h: Likewise.
This patch changes the output format of the main benchmark output file
(bench.out) to an extensible format. I chose JSON over XML because in
addition to being extensible, it is also not too verbose.
Additionally it has good support in python.
The significant change I have made in terms of functionality is to put
timing information as an attribute in JSON instead of a string and to
do that, there is a separate program that prints out a JSON snippet
mentioning the type of timing (hp_timing or clock_gettime). The mean
timing has now changed from iterations per unit to actual timing per
iteration.
