- add --quiet as a post-positional argument
- refactor verbose variable names
- aggregate ./ns3 --check-config|profile|version into ./ns3 show config|profile|version
- remove ns3 --check deprecated option
- set VERBOSE environment variable when building/running with -v/--verbose
https://gitlab.com/nsnam/ns-3-dev/-/issues/590#note_870520212

https://gitlab.com/nsnam/ns-3-dev/-/issues/590
- introduce default build profile and refactor others
https://gitlab.com/nsnam/ns-3-dev/-/issues/591
- use "-Og" in "CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug"/"ns3 -d debug"
- add back FindPython3 and fallback to FindPythonInterp if needed
- redirect pybindgen apiscan output to apiscan.log
- enable CMAKE_FIND_DEBUG_MODE with NS3_VERBOSE and CMake >= 3.17
- add search path logging to find_external_library
Requires NS3_VERBOSE=ON. This is an anternative to CMAKE_FIND_DEBUG_MODE=true available in CMake >= 3.17
- remove C support
- reduce Int128 checks
- fuse Boost Units Quantity and SI header checks
- replace not found messages with skipping
Includes:
- fix int64x64 parsing order, remove cached entries in macros-and-definitions and in the docs
- update launch.json scratch names
- add a ctest entry per executable
- forward POSIX signal in ns3 (to get segmentation fault)
- prioritize Ninja generator instead of Makefiles
- add tests for unused utils source files
- remove dummy file and add tests to check for unused source files
- add missing examples and clean up unnecessary definitions
- missing feature entry for LTE used by pybindgen
- refactor CMake related filenames
- fix python libraries and include directories bindings
- fix brite example name
- Keep C++ compiler and flags when refreshing
- Disable precompiled headers when Ccache is found
- Mark find_external_library headers as advanced
- consolidate auxiliary files: build-status.py, _cache.py and .lock-waf_sys.platform_build files are merged into .lock-ns3_sys.platform_build
- scan .cc sources used in bindings and update docs
Includes:
- refactor build_lib and build_lib_example macros
- unify src and contrib macros
- replace macro with function not to leak definitions
- parse list of arguments
- different cmake-format file for modules to list one item per line
Includes:
- inform ns3 user cmake was not found, or an unsupported version was found
- replace open-mpi environment variables with command-line arguments
- mark more variables as advanced
- add -v and --verbose option to run and only output the programs output by default
- fix scratch subdir prefixes and add tests
- prevent cmake crash when scratch sources do not have a main function
- disable MPI module by default
- wrap cmakelists_content in quotes to prevent failure of filter_libraries
- install pkgconfig files and add tests
- pkg-config generation (still missing installation)
- forward PYTHONPATH to modulegen
- fix dependency search for brite, click and openflow
This is a massive upgrade removing almost all pre-waf 1.6 script code. In addition, this does away with custom pkgconfig.py script for making .pc files and replaces it with waf's builtin mechanism.
Massive thanks to Alex Afanasyev for ideas and bugfixing, to Alina Quereilhac for bugfixing and testing, and to Tom Henderson for thorough testing.
