Subject: [PATCH 03/11] otp: Add DEVELOPMENT howto and complete `make test`
 support

This commit polishes a lot of the make system to be more
robust and hopefully user friendly. A new DEVELOPMENT howto
guide has been added with instructions on how to work with
the Erlang/OTP code and the `make test` functionality has
been fixed so that it should work for all applications.

In order to solve the problem of some applications relying
on being tested using a release, each application has been
instrumented in its Makefile so that it knows if a release
has to be done or not.

+# Developing Erlang/OTP
+
+The Erlang/OTP development repository is quite large and the make system
+contains a lot of functionality to help when a developing. This howto
+will try to showcase the most important features of the make system.
+
+The guide is mostly aimed towards development on a Unix platform, but
+most things should work also work using WSL on Windows. The guide also
+assumes that you are working in the git repositiory. Many of the
+scripts and tools described here are not available in the prebuilt tar
+archive that you can download for each release.
+
+*WARNING*: Only some of APIs mentioned in this guide are supported. This
+means that they may be removed or changed without prior notice, so do
+not depend on them in CI. For supported make targets see the
+[Install howto](INSTALL.md) and the [Testing howto](TESTING.md).
+
+The make system is not always as robust as one might like, so if for
+any reason something does not work, try doing a `git clean -Xfdq` and
+start from the beginning again. This normally only needs to be done when
+you jump in between different git branches, but it can a good thing to
+keep in mind whenever things do not work as you expect them to.
+
+*NOTE*: This instructions may vary for different versions of Erlang/OTP,
+so make sure to read the instructions for the version that you are working
+with.

+6. [Writing and building documentation](#writing-and-building-documentation)
+
+## Short version
+
+First make sure you have done all [preparations](#preparations) then
+do this:
+
+```bash
+git clone -b maint git@github.com:erlang/otp
+cd otp && export ERL_TOP=`pwd`
+./otp_build configure && make
+```
+
+When you have done changes, added tests or updated documentation, build and test like this:
+
+```bash
+cd lib/$APPLICATION_NAME
+make            # Rebuid application
+make test       # Run application tests
+make dialyzer   # Run dialyzer
+make docs       # Build the docs
+make xmllint    # Run xmllint on the docs
+```
+
+## Preparations
+
+Before you start working you need to clone the Erlang/OTP git repository
+and install any dependencies that you do not have. See
+[Required Utilities](INSTALL.md#required-utilities) and
+[Optional Utilities](INSTALL.md#optional-utilities) in [INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md)
+for a list of utilities to install. (Windows has its own [INSTALL Guide](INSTALL-WIN32.md)
+with its own [Required Utilities](INSTALL-WIN32.md#tools-you-need-and-their-environment)).
+
+Then you need to set `ERL_TOP` to point at the repository you are developing in.
+Not all make commands needs this environment variable set, but many do so it is
+good to get into the habit of always setting it.
+
+```bash
+cd /path/to/repository/otp
+export ERL_TOP=`pwd`
+```
+
+Make sure that you have read the [Contributing to Erlang/OTP](../CONTRIBUTING.md)
+guide if you intend to make a contribution to Erlang/OTP.
+
+### Faster builds
+
+Both `configure` and `make` take advantage of running in parallel if told to,
+so in order to speed up your development environment make sure to set:
+
+```bash
+## Change N to be at least the number of cores or hyper-threads available
+export MAKEFLAGS=-jN
+```
+
+The Erlang compiler can be run using a [Compile Server](https://www.erlang.org/doc/man/erlc.html#compile-server),
+this can cut from the total build time of Erlang/OTP by quite a lot,
+especially if you have a relatively slow machine.
+To enable set this environment variable:
+
+```bash
+export ERLC_USE_SERVER=true
+```
+
+Re-building all application in Erlang/OTP can take a while so it is possible
+to build only a subset of the applications. This is done by setting either
+`OTP_SMALL_BUILD` or `OTP_TINY_BUILD` to `true` when doing make at the top
+level. However, the simplest way is probably to just use the `./otp_build`
+wrapper that takes the options `-t` (tiny) or `-a` (all) and defaults to
+a small build.
+
+```bash
+# You need to have done ./configure before calling make or boot.
+OTP_TINY_BUILD=true make      ## Equivalent to ./otp_build boot -t
+OTP_SMALL_BUILD=true make     ## Equivalent to ./otp_build boot
+./otp_build boot -a           ## Equivalent to make
+```
+
+## Configuring
+
+You run configure by issuing the command:
+
+```bash
+./otp_build configure
+```
+
+On all operating systems except Windows you can also just run:
+
+```bash
+./configure
+```
+
+If you change any `Makefile`s you will need to re-run configure.
+If you update any `configure.ac` scripts you need to
+[update the configure scripts](INSTALL.md#updating-configure-scripts).
+
+### Help
+
+The toplevel configure will give help about the features that it provides.
+To get a full list of all features you need to use:
+
+```bash
+./configure --help=r
+```
+
+There is documentation for what most of the options mean in the
+[INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md#Configuring) howto.
+
+## Building and testing
+
+After you have done configure, you can do
+
+```bash
+make
+```
+
+on the top of this repository. That will compile all of Erlang/OTP.
+
+You can also build a specific application:
+
+```bash
+make stdlib
+make common_test
+```
+
+These make commands do not manage any dependencies, so if an application needs
+something from another you need to make sure that it is built. It is therefore
+good practice to first build all of Erlang/OTP and then build just the one that
+you are updating.
+
+You can also run tests from the top:
+
+```bash
+make test                # Run all tests, takes a **very** long time
+make stdlib_test         # Run only stdlib tests, takes less time
+                         # Run only lists_SUITE, takes even less time
+make stdlib_test ARGS="-suite lists_SUITE"
+                         # Run only member testcase in lists_SUITE
+make stdlib_test ARGS="-suite lists_SUITE -case member"
+```
+
+See [ct_run](https://www.erlang.org/doc/man/ct_run.html#) for a list of all options
+that you can pass to ARGS.
+
+You can run static analysis test:
+
+```bash
+make dialyzer            # Checks all of Erlang/OTP source code
+make xmllint             # Checks all documentation for xmllint errors
+```
+
+Most of the above targets also works for a "phony" target called `emulator` that
+represents erts and all its tools. So you can do this:
+
+```bash
+make emulator            # Build erts, epmd etc
+make emulator_test       # Run all emulator tests
+```
+
+If you want to pass a run-time flag to the emulator running the tests you can
+use the `ERL_ARGS` flags to `make test`. For example if you want to run tests
+using [off heap message queue data](https://www.erlang.org/doc/man/erlang.html#process_flag_message_queue_data)
+for all process you would do this:
+
+```bash
+ERL_ARGS="+hmqd off_heap" make emulator_test
+```
+
+### Build and test a specific application
+
+You can also build the application from within itself. Like this:
+
+```bash
+cd lib/stdlib && make
+```
+
+Each application has a bunch of make targets that you can use.
+
+```bash
+make                                # build all source for this application
+make test                           # run all tests for this application
+make test ARGS="-suite lists_SUITE" # run the lists_SUITE tests
+make dialyzer                       # run dialyzer for this application
+make docs                           # build all docs for this application
+make docs DOC_TARGETS="html"        # build html docs for this application
+make xmllint                        # run xmllint on the docs for this application
+```
+
+If you want to view what the documentation looks like for only your application
+you can do this:
+
+```bash
+(cd doc/src && make local_docs)
+```
+
+and then view `doc/html/index.html`.
+
+### Preloaded and Primary Bootstrap
+
+The Erlang code loader and compiler are written in Erlang, so in order to
+[bootstrap](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootstrapping_(compilers))
+the system a number of compiled `.beam` files are commited into the
+Erlang/OTP git repository.
+
+The Erlang code located in [erts/preloaded/src](../erts/preloaded/src)
+is compiled into the VM and used to load enough code so that the code
+loader in the `kernel` application can be loaded. If you update any of
+that code you need to do a special preloaded update for the changes to
+take effect. This is done like this:
+
+```bash
+./otp_build update_preloaded [--no-commit]
+make  # Need to rebuild system after the preloaded has been updated
+```
+
+You need to have a working Erlang compiler in your path for this to work.
+In order to be able to compile the Erlang/OTP source code, there also needs
+to be a basic Erlang compiler committed into git. This is what is called the
+primary bootstrap. It is quite rare that you need to update this, but if you
+are extending the Erlang language and would like to use the new extensions
+in the Erlang/OTP source code you it needs to be updated. As an example, when
+we added `maps` to Erlang we first needed to have a commited primary bootstrap
+that could compile code with maps, before we actually could use maps anywhere.
+To update the primary bootstrap you do like this:
+
+```bash
+./otp_build update_primary [--no-commit]
+```
+
+*NOTE*: When submitting a PR to Erlang/OTP you will be asked to not include
+any commit updating preloaded or the primary bootstrap. This is because we
+cannot review the contents of binary files and thus cannot make sure they do
+not contain any malicious data.
+
+### Types and Flavors
+
+Erlang can be built using different types and flavors. Mostly the types and
+flavors change how the Erlang VM itself is built, but some also effect how
+application are built. Some of the types/flavors are:
+
+* Types
+  * opt (default)
+  * debug
+  * lcnt
+  * valgrind
+  * asan
+  * gcov
+* Flavor
+  * emu
+  * jit (default if available)
+
+To build using a type and or flavor you just pass it as a variable to make.
+For example:
+
+```bash
+make TYPE=debug
+make FLAVOR=emu
+make TYPE=lcnt FLAVOR=emu
+```
+
+As you can see it is possible to combine type and flavor to create many different
+versions of Erlang. You can then run these different versions by passing the
+`-emu_type` and/or `-emu_flavor` flags to `erl`. That is:
+
+```bash
+erl -emu_type lcnt
+erl -emu_flavor emu -emu_type debug
+```
+
+When running valgrind, asan or gcov those tools create special output files that
+need to be processed. To work with these files there is a special `erl` program
+called `cerl` that is only available in the source tree. You can read more about
+it in the [cerl section](#cerl) later in this guide.
+
+If you want to run the tests with a special flavor or type, the easiest way to
+do that is by setting the TYPE or FLAVOR when calling make. For example if you
+want to run the emulator tests using the debug emulator you can do it like this:
+
+```bash
+make emulator_test TYPE=debug
+```
+
+*NOTE*: Before you run tests using a TYPE or FLAVOR you need to build the **entire**
+Erlang/OTP repo using that TYPE or FLAVOR. That is `make TYPE=debug` for the example
+above.
+
+### cerl
+
+`cerl` is a program available in `$ERL_TOP/bin/` that has a number of features
+useful when developing the Erlang run-time system. It work just as normal `erl`,
+but accepts a couple of extra command line switches. Any other command line arguments
+passed to `cerl` will be passed on the Erlang as normal. The extra command line
+switches are:
+
+* -debug
+  * Start a debug run-time system.
+* -lcnt
+  * Start a lock count run-time system.
+* -valgrind
+  * Start valgrind with the correct settings and use the `valgrind` [type](types-and-flavors).
+  * Set environment variable `VALGRIND_LOG_XML` to true if want xml valgrind logs.
+  * Set environment variable `VALGRIND_LOG_DIR` to where you want valgrind logs.
+  * Set environment variable `VALGRIND_MISC_FLAGS` for any extra valgrind flags you want to pass.
+* -asan
+  * Start [Clang Address Sanitizer](https://clang.llvm.org/docs/AddressSanitizer.html)
+    with the the correct settings and use the `asan` [type](types-and-flavors).
+  * Set environment variable `ASAN_LOG_DIR` to where you want the logs.
+  * Set environment variable `ASAN_OPTIONS` for any extra asan options you want to pass.
+* -gcov
+  * Start a gcov run-time system.
+* -gdb
+  * Start an Emacs gdb debugging session. Can be combined with -debug.
+* -core /path/to/core/file
+  * Start an Emacs gdb debugging session for the core specified.
+* -rgdb
+  * Start a gdb debugging session in the current terminal. Can be combined with -debug.
+* -rcore /path/to/core/file
+  * Start a gdb debugging session in the current terminal for the core specified.
+* -lldb
+  * Start a lldb debugging session in the current terminal.
+* -rr
+  * Start Erlang under [rr](https://rr-project.org/) to record all events. Can be combined with -debug.
+* -rr replay [session]
+  * Load a recording session using `rr replay`, if no session is specified the latest run session is laoded.
+
+If you want to run tests using `cerl` (for example if you want to run asan on
+the nif_SUITE in emulator) you cannot use the `make test` approach to testing
+as that uses `ct_run` under the hood and `ct_run` does not support customizing
+the emulator start script. Instead you need to use the approach described in
+[Run tests with Address Sanitizer](INSTALL.md#run-tests-with-address-sanitizer).
+
+
+### Static analysis
+
+From the top level of Erlang/OTP you can run:
+
+```bash
+make xmllint
+make dialyzer
+make format-check
+```
+
+This will check that the documentation is correct and that there are no
+dialyzer errors.
+
+## Running test cases
+
+There is a detailed description about how to run tests in [TESTING.md](TESTING.md).
+
+## Writing and building documentation
+
+Most of the Erlang/OTP documentation is written in XML files located in
+`lib/$APPLICATION_NAME/doc/src`. The format of the XML is described in the
+[ErlDocgen User's Guide](https://www.erlang.org/doc/apps/erl_docgen/users_guide.html).
+
+There is also some documentation that is written using [edoc](https://www.erlang.org/doc/man/edoc.html).
+
+To view the documentation the simplest way is to release it. *NOTE*: The Erlang/OTP
+repository needs to have been [built](#building-and-testing) before you can build
+the documentation.
+
+```bash
+make release_docs
+```
+
+and then you can view `release/*/doc/index.html` in your favourite browser and
+make sure that it looks nice.
+
+This takes a while though and to speed up the edit-view cycle you can either
+limit what parts of the documentation is built using `DOC_TARGETS`. For example:
+
+```bash
+make release_docs DOC_TARGETS=html
+```
+
+The different `DOC_TARGETS` built are `html`, `man`, `pdf` and `chunks`.
+
+You can also build the docs only for a single application. For example:
+
+```bash
+cd lib/stdlib/doc/src && make local_docs DOC_TARGETS=html
+```
+
+and then view the results at `lib/stdlib/doc/html/index.html`.

-It can be convenient to run tests with a single command. This way, one

 There are several examples [on the website](http://erlang.org/faq/getting_started.html) to help you get started. The below example defines a function `world/0` that prints "Hello, world" in the Erlang shell:
+
 ```erlang
 -module(hello).
 -export([world/0]).
 
 world() -> io:format("Hello, world\n").
 ```
+
 Save the file as `hello.erl` and run `erl` to enter the Erlang shell to compile the module.
