We probably want to do a bit more interrogation as this is a sort of safety check(?)
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Good point. Replaced the blanket except ValueError with an explicit check in 3d96ddb: the overlap check is now skipped only when the two paths are on genuinely different drives (os.path.splitdrive comparison), documented as "neither path can contain the other". Same-drive paths always get the full commonpath check, and any other unexpected condition now raises loudly instead of being silently skipped.

I don't love this, I'd prefer people actual configure the environment (which dev-init.py should help with ... which also installs the script?). However, if we're only doing this for the pre-push.py script (as a sort of "balancing act" to handle weird edge cases), I think that's fine.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Understood: it is deliberately only in pre-push.py, as the balancing act you describe. Every other tool is invoked from a configured environment, but git runs this hook with the ambient environment, and nothing surfaced that distinction to the user today (the failure was an ImportError inside a closing console window). And yes, dev-init.py installs the hook (it writes the .git/hooks/pre-push shim that executes .git-hooks/pre-push.py), so dev-init users get the self-locating version automatically.

Confession: I wrote the original logic here, I'm not a "Windows guy" but it seemed to work and be reasonably correct; I'll defer to others that know Windows better as to if this is an improvement.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Thanks for the context! The Windows rationale: CONIN$ is the console input device and works like /dev/tty: it can be opened regardless of what stdin is connected to (git feeds the hook the ref list on stdin, so stdin itself can't serve the prompts). With a console attached (cmd, PowerShell, Windows Terminal), everything now stays in the user's current terminal. Your relaunch is preserved as the fallback for the cases where CONIN$ cannot open (GUI git clients, mintty-style pseudo-terminals), so that intent is kept; that fallback window also now waits for Enter on failure so its output can't flash away.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
cmd and PowerShell are shells, and Windows Terminal is a terminal GUI. From the Windows perspective, none of them are consoles; only conhost.exe and openconsole.exe are.

For performance, NtQueryVolumeInformationFile should be used, but since this is a Python script, the current approach is acceptable.

@YexuanXiao when you say "the current approach" you mean the CONIN approach, correct? (or was this advocating for the kernel32 approach in main?)
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Thanks for the reference! Agreed this isn't performance-sensitive here (it runs once per push), so the single GetConsoleMode call through ctypes is fine. Noted for anyone porting the check to C++ later, where the NtQueryVolumeInformationFile approach would matter.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
You're right, thanks for the correction: cmd and PowerShell are shells, and Windows Terminal is a terminal emulator; the console itself is hosted by conhost.exe (or OpenConsole.exe, including the ConPTY sessions used by Windows Terminal). The relevant condition for this code is simply whether the process is attached to such a console session, which is the case for a push from cmd/PowerShell/Windows Terminal, and not for GUI git clients or mintty-style pseudo terminals (where CONIN$ cannot be opened and the relaunch fallback kicks in). My wording above was sloppy; no behavior change is needed.

This seems mostly reasonable, although, I think we should probably just handle this as:
returncode = checker.run()
if returncode != 0:
pause_delegate_window()
sys.exit(returncode)rather than doing the exception based mechanism.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Done in 3d96ddb, exactly along those lines: checker.run() now returns an exit status (int), and the mid-run sys.exit call sites (policy failure in check_commits, the q answer, and the too-many-attempts case in confirm_okay) were converted to an abort flag, so every failure path flows through main():
def main():
checker = PrePushChecker()
returncode = checker.run()

We used this same sort of check in a few different tools. It would probably be good to generalize this in edgutil as something like edgutil.is_interactive_terminal().
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Done in 3d96ddb: the check now lives in edgutil as edgutil.is_interactive_terminal() (with the GetConsoleMode rationale in its docstring), and edgdocker calls it. Happy to switch other tools over to it in a follow-up if you point me at them.

We historically haven't done changes entries for "incomplete" features like modules; that's something we might want to reconsider.
I'll also note that typically we try to keep changes entries brief and high level, this is a bit too long and thorough for that guideline.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Shortened in 8289ec9 to a single brief paragraph (bug and fix, no examples). On the policy question: I'd leaned on the entry being about a fix (modes were broken) rather than the incomplete feature itself, but if you'd rather keep module entries out of the changelog entirely until the coverage gap is closed, I'm happy to drop it; your call.

I'd personally be a fan of adding a small INLINE function helper (or macro) to types.h so this logic is centralized between sys_predef.c and modules.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Done in 8289ec9: INLINE a_float_kind float16_kind(void) now lives in types.h (next to skip_typerefs), and both sys_predef.c and the IFC reader use it. (lang_feat.h, which defines the version macros, is already pulled in ahead of types.h through basic_hdrs.h in the standard include order, so the inline definition is safe.)

I'm a little worried about treating fk_float16 and fk_fp16 the same as they have different manglings so if this shows up somewhere mangling-relevant we could end up in a weird place. It's probably better to move fp16 to the list of cases we're going to have to handle separately.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Good catch, and it's exactly a round-trip hazard: the reader maps float+bit16 back to the _Float16 kind, so an exported __fp16 would have come back with a different mangling. Moved fk_fp16 to the still-rejected group in 8289ec9, with a comment noting the distinct mangling.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
I talked to some IFC-experts and I think what we want to do is handle the fk_std_ fixed width float types via the Fundamental type and then @znoffel1 has some similar work to add an EDG extension type that we'll layer on top of this to cover the non-std fixed width floating point types.
The desires is to avoid any sort of ambiguity about which type was used in the original file (e.g., __float128 vs _Float128). I can make this tweak when I merge or you can; just wanted to give you that update ... and thanks for the work!
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Thanks for the update, and that plan makes sense! We went ahead and made the tweak in d17c4dd so this PR matches it: the fundamental float+bit128 encoding is now produced only for fk_std_float128 (_Float128/std::float128_t), the reader maps it back to fk_std_float128, and fk_float128 (__float128) joins the still-rejected group awaiting the EDG extension type (with the mangling rationale noted in the comment). Verified: _Float128 exports round-trip (compile, import, link, run) while __float128 now produces the documented catastrophic error. Happy to adjust if the extension work (issue #357) lands with different boundaries.

Hi,
Problem
Compiling any module interface unit in a gnu or clang emulation mode
(
--gnu_version/--clang_vtogether with--modules) failed:even for a trivial
export int f();. This blocks module support for gccdialects entirely ΓÇö including EDG-based IntelliSense for g++ projects
(microsoft/vscode-cpptools#6302).
Root cause
Writing a module interface unit serializes the declarations of the scopes it
touches, and the failure is a four-step chain (each step verified by a gdb
breakpoint on
ifc_write_catastrophein a debug build):Predeclaration. In emulation modes, the predefined type entry
processing (
enter_predefined_typedefinsrc/sys_predef.c, aroundline 3091) enters typedefs such as
_Float16ΓÇöfk_std_float16for--gnu_version >= 130000ΓÇö plus__float80,__float128,_Float32x,_Float64x, etc. into the global scope. These are compiler-generateddeclarations; user code did not mention them.
Unconditional scope walk. When the IFC file is written,
ifc_modules_write_outrecursively dumps the scopes reachable from themodule (
dump_scope_recursively→dump_scope_typesinsrc/ifc_modules_write.c), which enters every type in those scopes —including the predeclared typedefs from step 1, whether or not the module
uses them. This is why even
export int f();failed: the walk reachesthe predeclared typedefs regardless of the module's contents.
Type entry. Entering the typedef enters its underlying type, landing
in
an_ifc_il_map::enter_float_type(src/ifc_modules_write.c:2691).Incomplete encoding table. That function's switch had IFC encodings
for only four float kinds ΓÇö
fk_float,fk_double,fk_long_double,fk_float128. Every extended kind (fk_float16,fk_fp16,fk_std_float16,fk_std_float32/64/128,fk_float32x,fk_float64x,fk_float80,fk_std_bfloat16) calledifc_write_catastrophe(),terminating the compilation.
Evidence ΓÇö the observed backtrace (frames elided between):
Why the existing tests never caught this: plain
--c++20mode predeclaresnone of these typedefs into the walked scope, so the entire in-tree modules
suite (which runs only in default mode) was unaffected ΓÇö and, before this PR,
contained no emulation-mode module test at all.
Why the fix is correct
Two complementary changes, one per root cause:
dump_scope_types):these declarations are generated by the compiler itself, and any importing
translation unit runs the same predefined type entry processing with the
same dialect options before reading the IFC file ΓÇö recreating them. They
are therefore not part of the module's interface and never need to be
serialized. The skip only stops the unconditional walk of
compiler-generated typedef declarations; types that are actually used
by exported entities are still entered through the encoding of those
entities.
enter_float_typewriter +
ifc_tbs_floatreader):_Float16/std::float16_t->float+bit16,_Float32->bit32,_Float64->bit64, and_Float128/std::float128_t->bit128, so interfaces canlegitimately export entities involving those types. The fundamental
encodings are reserved for the standard kinds (to avoid
__float128vs
_Float128ambiguity; see the follow-up note in the review thread).The reader previously asserted on any precision other than
default;bit16selects the_Float16kind matching the current dialect,mirroring the predefined type entry processing.
Limitations (documented in the changelog)
_Float32x,_Float64x,__float80,__fp16,__float128, andstd::bfloat16_tstill cannot be written: the IFC fundamental-typeencoding has no representation that distinguishes them from other
floating-point types of the same size. An attempt to export an entity
involving them still produces the same catastrophic error. Covering them
via a dedicated EDG extension type is tracked in #357.
