This patch adds new filtering capabilities to jextract, along the lines of what discussed in [1] (thanks Duncan for all the insightful comments on the topic!).

The patch adds some new options:

  • --include-{union, struct, var, function, typedef} = <symbol-name>

When one (or more) options like these are specified, jextract goes into some kind of avdanced filtering mode, and will only emit bindings for the specified symbols. Note: when no --include-xyz option is used, jextract behaves exactly like before - e.g. everything is extracted.

To help the user with the filtering process, another option has been added:

  • --dump-includes <file-name>

When this option is used, jextract will not emit any bindings - instead, it will dump all the included symbol on the specified file. The file is a simple text file, organized as follows (the following has been obtained extracting OpenGL):

In other words, the generated file contains all the symbols that have been inclided, in the form of "options". In fact, the generated file can be played back into jextract - assuming foo.conf is the name of our file, the we can do the following:

jextract @foo.conf Foo.h

Multiple @file can be used with jextract, and can also be mixed with explicit command-line options (all this support predates the work discussed in this patch, but makes it very worthwhile); this is also the same syntax supported by other launchers like javac.

The output file should be stable - e.g. all entries are grouped by header file (and header files are sorted alphabetially); whithin each header, entries are sorted by category (e.g. variable vs. function) and then also alphabetically within same category. This should help users finding things quickly.

In addition, each line has a comment which states from which header is the symbol coming from. I found this super helpful to define custom header-based filtering scheme using grep and regex (similar to what --filter used to do).

The implementation is relatively straightforward - other than adding support for the new option, it was mostly matter of making sure that OutputFactory does notgenerate the filtered out symbols.

Mailing list message from Duncan Gittins on panama-dev:

Maurizio

This works very well and I've abandoned my local jextract edits as I can
use jextract as-is to filter out unused symbols. The per line #header
comments are very helpful to filter with findstr/grep and to understand
where symbols come from.

As you mentioned in JDK-8260976, point #7 will help to warn if there are
un-used --includes, plus I think it would useful in all cases if
jextract reported a one line totals summary "Generated X symbols of Y,
filtered out (Y-X)" to give quick / easy feedback on the impact after a
command line or config file change.

Kind regards

Duncan
