| To test for problems with variable shadowing (for apps that compile against FLTK with e.g. -Wshadow), we could make one test program
that #include's all fltk widgets, instancing them once, and have just
that test program compile with -Wshadow (or equivalent depending on the compiler)
This way future builds will show any shadow errors in our .H's as part of the build. | |

| Attached a test/Makefile (shadow-variables-test-program.patch) patch to generate the shadow_variables.cxx automatically, based on all the include'able FL/*.H files, with some exceptions.
By automatically generating the shadow variable test program, devs don't have to modify the test program every time a new #include file is added. However, this patch uses a one-liner perl script to generate the file, also creating perhaps an unwanted dependence on perl.
Will follow up with an attachment of the 'generated' shadow-variables.cxx file, just to show what it should look like. I suppose the alternative to the above automated approach is to check in this .cxx file, and have devs add all new .H files to it.
The goal here is to have a build of FLTK fail if there are any shadowing variables in any of our .H files. | |

| Attaching a patch (Makefile.patch) for test/Makefile
that implements the shadow variable test.
The Makefile target generates the program's source code on the fly
based on the current headers in FL, and compiles it with the -wshadow
flag (if the local $CXX compiler is g++. If not, the test is skipped).
So if there are any shadow conflicts, the build stops with the error.
I don't want to check this in yet, as we currently still have
shadow variable errors; see recent follow up in STR #2714.
Suggest fixing that before checking this in. | |

| Attaching small revision: Makefile-v2.patch.
Added '-' to ensure compiler doesn't stop the build process.
Also, small mods to the Makefile comments. | |

| Thanks Albrecht; fixed in Makefile-v3.patch.
Also in v3, converted the perl commands to awk,
because perl is not standard in unix, whereas awk is.
Tested on Mac and linux, but not yet with windows mingw/msys suite.. | |

| The fact this RFE has not been implemented yet
should not hold up a 1.3.3 release. | |

| Fixed in Git repository.
Fixed in commit bb45198413ef8efe236afbd665a4623239ac0da0
and updated in 3fc8875756c3ce02b1b45bd0383a0c307c442dde.
I decided to add my own test/shadow_variables.cxx as a new test program only in CMake builds. This should be sufficient to detect warnings early. I deliberately decided not to add this to configure/make builds because that will be dropped in 1.5 anyway.
The header file 'include_all.h' is generated by CMake dynamically during the CMake configure phase. There's no shell involved (no perl, no awk etc.).
Side note: I detected two minor issues with this new feature and fixed them in commit 2c21e520f4859904739deb7d058b084f314ed47d *before* I added this new feature.
Thanks to Greg for the inspiration. | |
