|
|
This influential article provides axes along which to describe build systems in general;
|
|
ASDF, in addition to being in-image (an axis not considered by these authors),
|
|
has the following characteristics:
|
|
ASDF’s persistent build information is file modification times
|
|
(the way ASDF is written, it should be easy enough to write an extension that modifies it
|
|
to use a “cloud cache” à la Bazel,
|
|
but that would involve using some database, network and cryptographic libraries,
|
|
which cannot reasonably be included in the base ASDF,
|
|
that must remain a minimal bootstrappable system with no external dependencies).
|
|
The object model of ASDF was initially designed for “static” dependencies
|
|
with a “topological” scheduler, but its <code>defsystem-depends-on</code> mechanism
|
|
(and more generally, the ability to call ASDF from within an <code>.asd</code> file)
|
|
allows for multiple <em>phases</em> of execution resulting
|
|
in “dynamic” dependencies with a “suspending” scheduler.
|
|
The rebuilder essentially uses a “dirty bit”, except that the in-image model
|
|
and the multiple phase support mean that’s actually more than a bit:
|
|
instead it’s three bits plus the timestamp plus a phase depth level.
|
|
The build is guaranteed “minimal” in number of steps computed.
|
|
It is local. It assumes but does not enforce determinism.
|
|
It does not assume early cutoff of the build when rebuild dependencies didn’t change.

This short article gives an overview of the changes in ASDF 3.2 and 3.3, including
|
|
improved application delivery, asynchronous subprocess management,
|
|
correct support for multi-phase builds, and enhanced source location configuration.

“Quick-build” (private communication), 2012.
|
|
<code>quick-build</code> is a simple and robust one file, one package build system,
|
|
similar to <code>faslpath</code>, in 182 lines of code
|
|
(117 of which are neither blank nor comments nor docstrings).
|
|
Unhappily, it remains unpublished and its IP status is unclear as of April 2014.
|
|
<code>asdf/package-system</code> is mostly compatible with it,
|
|
modulo a different setup for toplevel hierarchies.

This article describes XCVB, a proposed competitor for ASDF;

many of its ideas have been incorporated into ASDF 2 and 3,

though many other ideas still haven’t.

“faslpath”, 2009.
|
|
<code>faslpath</code> is similar to the latter <code>quick-build</code>
|
|
and our yet latter <code>asdf/package-system</code> extension,
|
|
except that it uses dot <code>.</code> rather than slash <code>/</code> as a separator.
