This is a quick and dirty conversion of the atypical, and undocumented,
logging done by env_universal_common.cpp to the usual `debug()` pattern. I
didn't want to drop the messages because they could be useful when
debugging future issues. So I simply converted them to the lowest debug
level using the normal debug() function.
Fixes#2887
We identify when the universal variable file has changed out from under us by
comparing a bunch of fields from its stat: inode, device, size, high-precision
timestamp, generation. Linux aggressively reuses inodes, and the size may be
the same by coincidence (which is the case in the tests). Also, Linux
officially has nanosecond precision, but in practice it seems to only uses
millisecond precision for storing mtimes. Thus if there are three or more
updates within a millisecond, every field we check may be the same, and we are
vulnerable to the ABA problem. I believe this explains the occasional test
failures.
The solution is to manually set the nanosecond field of the mtime timestamp to
something unlikely to be duplicated, like a random number, or better yet, the
current time (with nanosecond precision). This is more in the spirit of the
timestamp, and it means we're around a million times less likely to collide.
This seems to fix the tests.
This change moves source files into a src/ directory,
and puts object files into an obj/ directory. The Makefile
and xcode project are updated accordingly.
Fixes#1866
