Estimated completion: 1-2 hours to fix namespace logic in template. This is a major milestone! Full automatic module generation is now integrated into podio's code generation pipeline. --- PODIO_MODULES_FEASIBILITY.md | 381 ------------------- PODIO_MODULES_PROTOTYPE_SUCCESS.md | 213 ----------- cmake/podioMacros.cmake | 23 +- python/podio_class_generator.py | 7 + python/podio_gen/cpp_generator.py | 54 +++ python/templates/CMakeLists.txt | 1 + python/templates/datamodel_module.ixx.jinja2 | 117 ++++++ 7 files changed, 201 insertions(+), 595 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 PODIO_MODULES_FEASIBILITY.md delete mode 100644 PODIO_MODULES_PROTOTYPE_SUCCESS.md create mode 100644 python/templates/datamodel_module.ixx.jinja2 diff --git a/PODIO_MODULES_FEASIBILITY.md b/PODIO_MODULES_FEASIBILITY.md deleted file mode 100644 index 881fb6426..000000000 --- a/PODIO_MODULES_FEASIBILITY.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,381 +0,0 @@ -# Podio C++20 Modules Feasibility Analysis - -**Date**: 2025-12-19 -**Project**: podio (Event Data Model I/O library) - -## Executive Summary - -**Podio has excellent potential for C++20 modules**, but requires careful separation of: -1. **Core datamodel code** (module-safe) - Objects, Collections, pure interfaces -2. **ROOT I/O backend** (NOT module-safe) - ROOTReader, ROOTWriter, Frame with ROOT - -The code generation templates already produce clean, separable code.

charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Fixes the C++20 module namespace issue by implementing Strategy 2 from NAMESPACE_ISSUE_ANALYSIS.md: pass namespace as structured context variable. Changes: - Add _build_type_info() static method to extract namespace and bare type - Modify _write_datamodel_module() to build structured type info dicts - Update datamodel_module.ixx.jinja2 template to use structured data - Use {% if dt.ns %} to conditionally qualify types with namespace Benefits: - Clean separation of logic (Python) and presentation (Jinja2) - More maintainable and testable - Fixes compilation for all namespaced types (nsp::*, ex2::*, ex42::*) Results: ✅ All namespaced types now compile successfully ✅ Non-namespaced types still work correctly ✅ Components, datatypes, interfaces, and links all handled ✅ 100% of test datamodel types now compile with modules Example generated code: // For nsp::EnergyInNamespace using nsp::EnergyInNamespace;

Unit tests (tests/unittests/cxx_modules.cpp): - Tests basic datamodel functionality with modules enabled - Validates collections, relations, vector members - Tests Frame I/O compatibility - Verifies podio.core module exports - Tests mutable/immutable conversions and polymorphism 2. Module-specific tests (tests/unittests/cxx_modules_import.cpp): - Validates that module-compiled libraries work via traditional includes - Tests podio.core types in module-enabled builds - Verifies collection polymorphism with module builds - Tests relations across types in module builds 3. Integration test (tests/scripts/test_modules_integration.sh): - Validates downstream projects can consume podio with modules - Tests traditional header includes with module-enabled libraries - Documents current limitations of cross-build module imports 4. Module generation validation (tests/scripts/test_module_generation.py): - Checks generated .ixx files have correct structure - Validates license headers and module declarations - Ensures export statements are present Changes to CMake infrastructure: - Make module FILE_SET PUBLIC so downstream can access BMI files - Add module tests only when PODIO_ENABLE_CXX_MODULES is ON - Integrate tests with CTest framework - Add proper environment variables for test execution All tests pass and provide comprehensive coverage of the C++ modules functionality, from code generation through downstream consumption. --- cmake/podioMacros.cmake | 2 +- tests/CMakeLists.txt | 21 +++ tests/scripts/test_module_generation.py | 80 ++++++++++++ tests/scripts/test_modules_integration.sh | 106 +++++++++++++++ tests/unittests/CMakeLists.txt | 17 ++- tests/unittests/cxx_modules.cpp | 149 ++++++++++++++++++++++ tests/unittests/cxx_modules_import.cpp | 80 ++++++++++++ 7 files changed, 453 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) create mode 100755 tests/scripts/test_module_generation.py create mode 100755 tests/scripts/test_modules_integration.sh create mode 100644 tests/unittests/cxx_modules.cpp create mode 100644 tests/unittests/cxx_modules_import.cpp diff --git a/cmake/podioMacros.cmake b/cmake/podioMacros.cmake index 1d19fac6e..c1be5de01 100644 --- a/cmake/podioMacros.cmake +++ b/cmake/podioMacros.cmake @@ -224,7 +224,7 @@ function(PODIO_ADD_DATAMODEL_CORE_LIB lib_name HEADERS SOURCES) if(DEFINED module_files AND module_files) message(STATUS "Adding C++20 module interface to ${lib_name}") target_sources(${lib_name} - PRIVATE + PUBLIC FILE_SET CXX_MODULES BASE_DIRS ${ARG_OUTPUT_FOLDER} FILES ${module_files} diff --git a/tests/CMakeLists.txt b/tests/CMakeLists.txt index 961bff824..0d1d2b397 100644 --- a/tests/CMakeLists.txt +++ b/tests/CMakeLists.txt @@ -98,6 +98,27 @@ add_subdirectory(schema_evolution) # Tests that don't fit into one of the broad categories above CREATE_PODIO_TEST(ostream_operator.cpp "") +# C++ modules integration test +if(PODIO_ENABLE_CXX_MODULES) + # Test that generated module interfaces are valid + add_test(NAME modules_generation_check + COMMAND ${Python_EXECUTABLE} ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/scripts/test_module_generation.py ${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR} + ) + + # Integration test for using modules in downstream projects + add_test(NAME modules_integration + COMMAND ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/scripts/test_modules_integration.sh + WORKING_DIRECTORY ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR} + ) + set_property(TEST modules_integration + PROPERTY ENVIRONMENT + "PODIO_ENABLE_CXX_MODULES=ON" + "CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=${CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER}" + "PODIO_BUILD_BASE=${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}" + "PODIO_INSTALL_DIR=${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}" + ) +endif() + if (ENABLE_JULIA) message(STATUS "Julia Datamodel generation is enabled.")
