This adds the option FULLY_STATIC to create fully-static executables.
To create portable, fully-static release executables on Linux, we need
to use musl instead of glibc. Static executables from glibc are not
portable.
The popular musl-gcc wrapper does not support C++, so instead we use a
full musl cross-compiler toolchain in the build workflow.
To build FULLY_STATIC, the user must point to the appropriate
cross-compiler, as we do in the workflow. On systems where musl is the
native libc (such as Alpine Linux), this is not necessary.
I have also read that musl's allocator is not very fast in
multi-threaded applications. So when FULLY_STATIC is enabled, we will
also enable mimalloc, a replacement allocator that is very fast.
I tested a very basic packaging command to compare speeds of dynamic
glibc, static musl, and static musl+mimalloc:
dynamic glibc:
runs: 2.527, 2.798, 2.703, 2.756, 2.959
avg = 2.749, std dev = 0.156s
static musl:
runs: 2.813, 2.920, 3.129, 3.003, 2.738
avg = 2.921s, std dev = 0.154s
static musl+mimalloc:
runs: 2.291, 2.034, 2.415, 2.303, 2.265
avg = 2.262s, std dev = 0.140s
The mimalloc build is 82% faster than musl default allocator, 77% faster
than glibc, and has more consistent runtime characteristics (lower
standard deviation).
An updated version of PR #1027
That previous PR was done using 2021 code, and there were many changes
in the codebase from there, so a rebase was needed and also some minor
tweak here and there. But it's the same code, just reimplemented on a
newer codebase.
If you want to take a look at this in action, after building shaka
packager with this PR's code included, try this commands in 3 different
simultaneous bash sessions:
1. Video UDP input: `ffmpeg -f lavfi -re -i
"testsrc=s=320x240:r=30,format=yuv420p" -c:v h264 -sc_threshold 0 -g 30
-keyint_min 30 -r 30 -a53cc 1 -b:v 150k -preset ultrafast -r 30 -f
mpegts "udp://127.0.0.1:10000?pkt_size=1316"`
2. WebVTT UDP input: `for sec in $(seq 0 9999) ; do printf
"%02d:%02d.000 --> %02d:%02d.000\ntest second ${sec}\n\n" "$(( ${sec} /
60 ))" "$(( ${sec} % 60 ))" "$(( (${sec} + 1) / 60 ))" "$(( (${sec} + 1)
% 60 ))" ; sleep 1 ; done > /dev/udp/127.0.0.1/12345`
3. shaka packager command line: `timeout 60
path/to/build/packager/packager
'in=udp://127.0.0.1:10000?timeout=8000000,stream_selector=0,init_segment=240_init.m4s,segment_template=240_$Number%09d$.m4s,bandwidth=150000'
'in=udp://127.0.0.1:12345?timeout=8000000,stream_selector=0,input_format=webvtt,format=webvtt+mp4,init_segment=text_init.m4s,segment_template=text_$Number%09d$.m4s,language=eng,dash_roles=subtitle'
--mpd_output ./manifest.mpd --segment_duration 3.2

--minimum_update_period 3.2 --time_shift_buffer_depth 60
--preserved_segments_outside_live_window 1 --default_language=eng
--dump_stream_info 2>&1`
Note the added `input_format=webvtt` to the shaka packager command's
second selector. That's new from this PR. If you don't use that, shaka's
format autodetection will not detect the webvtt format from the input,
as explained in
https://github.com/shaka-project/shaka-packager/issues/685#issuecomment-1029407191.
Try the command without it if you want to.

adds an optional `--hls_start_time_offset` parameter, that, when
used, adds `EXT-X-START` tags to the HLS media playlists.
The EXT-X-START tag allows to specify the location where the player
starts playing, either from start (positive value) or from end (negative
value).
This is especially useful in case of livestreams where this tag can be
used to set the target latency of the playback.
Reference: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8216#section-4.3.5.2
The RFC says, that the `EXT-X-START` tag could also be added to the
master playlist, but my tests have shown that most players only respect
it when it's in the media playlists.

This work was done over ~80 individual commits in the `cmake` branch,
which are now being merged back into `main`. As a roll-up commit, it is
too big to be reviewable, but each change was reviewed individually in
context of the `cmake` branch. After this, the `cmake` branch will be
renamed `cmake-porting-history` and preserved.

This brings some workflow improvements and fixes from the `cmake` branch
to `main`, as well as some unique fixes to keep gclient working, so that
we can continue to accept contributions in `main` until the `cmake`
merge is ready.
- Fix docs build in GitHub Actions (from `cmake` branch)
- Cancel workflow when a PR is updated (from `cmake` branch)
- Fix docker failures caused by running as root (from `cmake` branch)
- Work around exception in depot_tools on Windows
- Use Windows 2019 images in GitHub Actions for compatibility with gyp
- Remove Docker build on ArchLinux, which no longer supports python2 at
all
- (NOTE: The `cmake` branch is still building on ArchLinux. Docker
builds for Arch will be restored to the `main` branch when the `cmake`
branch is finally merged to `main`.)
Using the latest depot_tools no longer works. depot_tools also wants
to auto-update itself, which must now be disabled.
We also need to disable the copy of python (vpython) included in
depot_tools, since for some distros, it has dependencies on system
libraries that no longer exist.
Finally, we need to force some distros to use python 2, because our
build system is ancient and needs to be ripped out and replaced some
day soon.
This fixes build issues in our CI, our Dockerfiles, and in general on
certain platforms or distros.
Closes#1023
The official, static-linked linux builds were crashing in their use of
getaddrinfo, which libcurl was configured to use. Both getaddrinfo
and all of its alternatives available in glibc fail with static
linking.
We can fix this by configuring libcurl to use libc-ares on Linux
instead. This allows us to keep the benefits of a statically-linked
Linux binary.

The newest pylint release complained about several issues that the
older release did not. This resolves those issues:
- removes unneeded "u" prefix from strings
- adds "encoding" parameter for all open() calls
- because "encoding" is a python3-only parameter, use python3 in all
the scripts that we control
Unfortunately, python2 is required for any scripts that import modules
from the ancient Chromium build system we're using (referenced by
DEPS), as well as kokoro scripts.

This brings our default build config more in line with what is
necessary for some platforms anyway: using the system-installed
toolchain and sysroot to build everything.
We will no longer fetch source or binaries for any specific build
tools, such as libc++, clang, gold, binutils, or valgrind.
The main part of this change is the changing of default gyp settings
in gyp_packager.py. For this, a bug in gyp_packager.py had to be
fixed, in which similar GYP_DEFINE key names (such as clang and
host_clang) would conflict, causing some defaults not to be installed
properly.
In order to enable clang=0 by default, some changes had to be made in
common.gypi:
- compiler macros added to fix a compatibility issue between
Chromium's base/mac/ folder and the actual OSX SDK
- replaced clang_warning_flags variables with standard cflags
settings, plus xcode_settings for OSX
- turned off warnings-as-errors for non-shaka code, rather than
allow-listing specific warning types, since we can't actually fix
those warnings on any platform
- disabled two specific warnings in shaka code, both of which are
caused by headers from our non-shaka dependencies
Also, one warning (missing "override" keyword) has been fixed in
vod_media_info_dump_muxer_listener.h.
Although these changes were done to make building simpler on a wider
array of platforms (arm64, for example), it seems to make the build a
bit faster, too. For me, at least, on my main Linux workstation:
- "gclient sync" now runs 20-30% faster
- "ninja -C out/Release" now runs 5-13% faster
The following environment variables are no longer required:
- DEPOT_TOOLS_WIN_TOOLCHAIN
- MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET
Documentation, Dockerfiles, and GitHub Actions workflows have been
updated to reflect this.
The following GYP_DEFINES are no longer required for anyone:
- clang=0
- host_clang=0
- clang_xcode=1
- use_allocator=none
- use_experimental_allocator_shim=0
Documentation, Dockerfiles, and GitHub Actions workflows have been
updated to reflect this.
The following repos are no longer dependencies in gclient:
- binutils
- clang
- gold
- libc++
- libc++abi
- valgrind
The following gclient hooks have been removed:
- clang
- mac_toolchain
- sysroot

This replaces Travis (for Linux & Mac) and Appveyor (for Windows) with
GitHub Actions. In addition to using GitHub Actions to test PRs, this
also expands the automation of releases so that the only manual steps
are:
1. Create a new CHANGELOG.md entry
2. Create a release tag
Workflows have been create for building and testing PRs and releases,
for publishing releases to GitHub, NPM, and Docker Hub, and for
updating documentation on GitHub Pages.
When a new PR is created, GitHub Actions will:
- Build and test on all combinations of OS, release type, and library
type
Appveyor's workflow took ~2 hours, whereas the new GitHub Actions
workflow takes ~30 minutes.
When a new release tag is created, GitHub Actions will:
- Create a draft release on GitHub
- Extract release notes from CHANGELOG.md & attach them to the
draft release
- Build and test on all combinations of OS, release type, and library
type, aborting if any build or test fails
- Attach release artifacts to the draft release, aborting if any
one artifact can't be prepared
- Fully publish the draft release on GitHub
- Publish the same release to NPM (triggered by GitHub release)
- Publish the same release to Docker Hub (triggered by GitHub release)
- Update the docs on GitHub pages

For windows running `GYP_DEFINES='target_arch=X64'` shows an error GYP_DEFINES is
not recognized as an internal or external command.
The actual command is to set the value of GYP_DEFINES. so it should be
`SET GYP_DEFINES='target_arch=X64'`.
This also allows setting the language of different text streams from
the same input. Multiple streams can use the same input stream
using different cc_index values and can each use a different language.
This also will try to pull the language from the input if not
specified.

HLS uses the EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE tag at the start of a live playlist in
order to specify the first segment sequence number. This is because any
live playlist have a limited number of segments, and they also keep
updating with new segments while removing old ones. When a player refreshes
the playlist, this information is important for keeping track of segments
positions.
When the packager starts, it naturally starts this count from zero. However,
there are many situations where the packager may be restarted, without this
meaning starting this value from zero (but continuing a previous sequence).
The most common situations are problems in the encoder feeding the packager.
With those cases in mind, this parameter allows to set the initial
EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE value. This way, it's possible to continue the sequence
number from previous packager run.
Closes#691.
Add dash_accessibilities stream descriptor, which is a semi-colon

VLC seems to generate access units with extra AUDs. In #526, the below
sequence is seen:
AUD | SPS | PPS | SPS | PPS | AUD | SEI | SEI | SEI | IDR_SLICE
Previously we exit early when seeing AUD, which results in delayed
processing of the access unit.
The behavior is changed to continue processing the following NAL units
to workaround the content issue.
Closes#526.
