Setup cppyy for development

Build Instructions (Includes instructions both Unix systems and Windows)

Build instructions for CppInterOp and its dependencies are as follows. CppInterOP can be built with either Cling and Clang-REPL, so instructions will differ slightly depending on which option you would like to build, but should be clear from the section title which instructions to follow.

Clone CppInterOp and cppyy-backend

First clone the CppInterOp repository, as this contains patches that need to be applied to the subsequently cloned llvm-project repo (these patches are only applied if building CppInterOp with Clang-REPL)

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/compiler-research/CppInterOp.git

and clone cppyy-backend repository where we will be installing the CppInterOp library

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/compiler-research/cppyy-backend.git

Setup Clang-REPL

Clone the 17.x release of the LLVM project repository.

git clone --depth=1 --branch release/17.x https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project.git
cd llvm-project

Get the following patches required for development work. To apply these patches on Linux and MacOS execute the following command

git apply -v ../CppInterOp/patches/llvm/clang17-*.patch

and

cp -r ..\CppInterOp\patches\llvm\clang17* .
git apply -v clang17-1-NewOperator.patch

on Windows.

Build Clang-REPL

Clang-REPL is an interpreter that CppInterOp works alongside. Build Clang (and Clang-REPL along with it). On Linux and MaxOS you do this by executing the following command

mkdir build 
cd build 
cmake -DLLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS=clang                  \
                -DLLVM_TARGETS_TO_BUILD="host;NVPTX"          \
                -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release                    \
                -DLLVM_ENABLE_ASSERTIONS=ON                   \
                -DLLVM_USE_LINKER=lld                         \
                -DCLANG_ENABLE_STATIC_ANALYZER=OFF            \
                -DCLANG_ENABLE_ARCMT=OFF                      \
                -DCLANG_ENABLE_FORMAT=OFF                     \
                -DCLANG_ENABLE_BOOTSTRAP=OFF                  \
                ../llvm
cmake --build . --target clang clang-repl --parallel $(nproc --all)

On Windows you would do this by executing the following

$env:ncpus = %NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS%
mkdir build 
cd build 
cmake   -DLLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS=clang                  `
        -DLLVM_TARGETS_TO_BUILD="host;NVPTX"          `
        -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release                    `
        -DLLVM_ENABLE_ASSERTIONS=ON                   `
        -DCLANG_ENABLE_STATIC_ANALYZER=OFF            `
        -DCLANG_ENABLE_ARCMT=OFF                      `
        -DCLANG_ENABLE_FORMAT=OFF                     `
        -DCLANG_ENABLE_BOOTSTRAP=OFF                  `
        ..\llvm
        cmake --build . --target clang clang-repl --parallel $env:ncpus

Note the 'llvm-project' directory location. On linux and MacOS you execute the following

cd ../
export LLVM_DIR=$PWD
cd ../

On Windows you execute the following

cd ..\
$env:LLVM_DIR= $PWD.Path
cd ..\

Build Cling and related dependencies

Besides the Clang-REPL interpreter, CppInterOp also works alongside the Cling interpreter. Cling depends on its own customised version of llvm-project, hosted under the root-project (see the git path below). Use the following build instructions to build on Linux and MacOS

git clone https://github.com/root-project/cling.git
cd ./cling/
git checkout tags/v1.0
cd ..
git clone --depth=1 -b cling-llvm13 https://github.com/root-project/llvm-project.git
mkdir llvm-project/build
cd llvm-project/build
cmake -DLLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS=clang                \
    -DLLVM_EXTERNAL_PROJECTS=cling                \
    -DLLVM_EXTERNAL_CLING_SOURCE_DIR=../../cling  \
    -DLLVM_TARGETS_TO_BUILD="host;NVPTX"          \
    -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release                    \
    -DLLVM_ENABLE_ASSERTIONS=ON                   \
    -DLLVM_USE_LINKER=lld                         \
    -DCLANG_ENABLE_STATIC_ANALYZER=OFF            \
    -DCLANG_ENABLE_ARCMT=OFF                      \
    -DCLANG_ENABLE_FORMAT=OFF                     \
    -DCLANG_ENABLE_BOOTSTRAP=OFF                  \
    ../llvm
cmake --build . --target clang --parallel $(nproc --all)
cmake --build . --target cling --parallel $(nproc --all)
cmake --build . --target gtest_main --parallel $(nproc --all)

Use the following build instructions to build on Windows

git clone https://github.com/root-project/cling.git
cd .\cling\
git checkout tags/v1.0
cd ..
git clone --depth=1 -b cling-llvm13 https://github.com/root-project/llvm-project.git
$env:ncpus = %NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS%
$env:PWD_DIR= $PWD.Path
$env:CLING_DIR="$env:PWD_DIR\cling"
mkdir llvm-project\build
cd llvm-project\build
cmake   -DLLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS=clang                  `
        -DLLVM_EXTERNAL_PROJECTS=cling                `
        -DLLVM_EXTERNAL_CLING_SOURCE_DIR="$env:CLING_DIR"   `
        -DLLVM_TARGETS_TO_BUILD="host;NVPTX"          `
        -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release                    `
        -DLLVM_ENABLE_ASSERTIONS=ON                   `
        -DCLANG_ENABLE_STATIC_ANALYZER=OFF            `
        -DCLANG_ENABLE_ARCMT=OFF                      `
        -DCLANG_ENABLE_FORMAT=OFF                     `
        -DCLANG_ENABLE_BOOTSTRAP=OFF                  `
        ../llvm
cmake --build . --target clang --parallel $env:ncpus
cmake --build . --target cling --parallel $env:ncpus
cmake --build . --target gtest_main --parallel $env:ncpus

Note the 'llvm-project' directory location. On linux and MacOS you execute the following

cd ../
export LLVM_DIR=$PWD
cd ../

On Windows you execute the following

cd ..\
$env:LLVM_DIR= $PWD.Path
cd ..\

Environment variables

Regardless of whether you are building CppInterOP with Cling or Clang-REPL you will need to define the following Envirnoment variables (as they clear for a new session, it is recommended that you also add these to your .bashrc in linux, .bash_profile if on MacOS, or profile.ps1 on Windows). On Linux and MacOS you define as follows

export CB_PYTHON_DIR="$PWD/cppyy-backend/python"
export CPPINTEROP_DIR="$CB_PYTHON_DIR/cppyy_backend"
export CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH="${CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH}:${LLVM_DIR}/llvm/include:${LLVM_DIR}/clang/include:${LLVM_DIR}/build/include:${LLVM_DIR}/build/tools/clang/include"
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:$CPYCPPYY_DIR:$CB_PYTHON_DIR

If on MacOS you will also need the following envirnoment variable defined

export SDKROOT=`xcrun --show-sdk-path`

On Windows you define as follows (assumes you have defined $env:PWD_DIR= $PWD.Path )

$env:CB_PYTHON_DIR="$env:PWD_DIR\cppyy-backend\python"
$env:CPPINTEROP_DIR="$env:CB_PYTHON_DIR\cppyy_backend"
$env:CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH="$env:CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH;$env:LLVM_DIR\llvm\include;$env:LLVM_DIR\clang\include;$env:LLVM_DIR\build\include;$env:LLVM_DIR\build\tools\clang\include"
$env:PYTHONPATH="$env:PYTHONPATH;$env:CPYCPPYY_DIR;$env:CB_PYTHON_DIR"

Build CppInterOp

Now CppInterOp can be installed. On Linux and MacOS execute

mkdir CppInterOp/build/
cd CppInterOp/build/

On Windows execute

mkdir CppInterOp\build\
cd CppInterOp\build\

Now if you want to build CppInterOp with Clang-REPL then execute the following commands on Linux and MacOS

cmake -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON -DUSE_CLING=Off -DUSE_REPL=ON -DLLVM_DIR=$LLVM_DIR/build/lib/cmake/llvm -DClang_DIR=$LLVM_DIR/build/lib/cmake/clang -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$CPPINTEROP_DIR ..
cmake --build . --target install --parallel $(nproc --all)

and

cmake -DUSE_CLING=Off -DUSE_REPL=ON -DLLVM_DIR=$LLVM_DIR\build\lib\cmake\llvm -DClang_DIR=$LLVM_DIR\build\lib\cmake\clang -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$env:CPPINTEROP_DIR ..
cmake --build . --target install --parallel $env:ncpus

on Windows. If alternatively you would like to install CppInterOp with Cling then execute the following commands on Linux and MacOS

cmake -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON -DUSE_CLING=ON -DUSE_REPL=Off -DCling_DIR=$LLVM_DIR/build/tools/cling -DLLVM_DIR=$LLVM_DIR/build/lib/cmake/llvm -DClang_DIR=$LLVM_DIR/build/lib/cmake/clang -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$CPPINTEROP_DIR ..
cmake --build . --target install --parallel $(nproc --all)

and

cmake -DUSE_CLING=ON -DUSE_REPL=Off -DCling_DIR=$LLVM_DIR\build\tools\cling -DLLVM_DIR=$LLVM_DIR\build\lib\cmake\llvm -DClang_DIR=$LLVM_DIR\build\lib\cmake\clang -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$env:CPPINTEROP_DIR ..
cmake --build . --target install --parallel $env:ncpus

Testing CppInterOp

To test the built CppInterOp execute the following command in the CppInterOP build folder on Linux and MacOS

cmake --build . --target check-cppinterop --parallel $(nproc --all)

and

cmake --build . --target check-cppinterop --parallel $env:ncpus

on Windows. Now go back to the top level directory in which your building CppInterOP. On Linux and MacOS you do this by executing

cd ../..

and

cd ..\..

on Windows. Now you are in a position to install cppyy following the instructions below.

Building and Install cppyy-backend

Clone the repo, build it and copy library files into python/cppyy-backend directory:

cd cppyy-backend
mkdir -p python/cppyy_backend/lib build 
cd build
cmake -DCppInterOp_DIR=$CPPINTEROP_DIR ..
cmake --build .

If on a linux system now execute the following command

cp libcppyy-backend.so ../python/cppyy_backend/lib/

and if on MacOS execute the following command

cp libcppyy-backend.dylib ../python/cppyy_backend/lib/

Note go back to the top level build directory

cd ../..

Install CPyCppyy

Create virtual environment and activate it:

python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/compiler-research/CPyCppyy.git
mkdir CPyCppyy/build
cd CPyCppyy/build
cmake ..
cmake --build .

Note down the path to the build directory as CPYCPPYY_DIR:

export CPYCPPYY_DIR=$PWD
cd ../..

Install cppyy

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/compiler-research/cppyy.git
cd cppyy
python -m pip install --upgrade . --no-deps
cd ..

Run cppyy

Each time you want to run cppyy you need to: Activate the virtual environment

source .venv/bin/activate

Now you can import cppyy in python

python -c "import cppyy"

Run cppyy tests

Follow the steps in Run cppyy. Change to the test directory, make the library files and run pytest:

cd cppyy/test
make all
python -m pip install pytest
python -m pytest -sv
