Currently, a virtual spec is composed of just a name and a version. When a virtual spec contains other components, such as variants, Spack won't emit warnings or errors but will silently drop them - which is unexpected by users.
This PR changes the default behavior of `spack config get` and `spack config blame`
to print a flattened version of the entire spack configuration, including any active
environment, if the commands are invoked with no section arguments.
The new behavior is used in Gitlab CI to help debug CI configuration, but it can also
be useful when asking for more information in issues, or when simply debugging Spack.
Convert the 'develop' section of an environment to a dedicated configuration section.
This means for example that instead of having to define `develop` specs in the
`spack.yaml`, the environment can `include:` another `develop.yaml` configuration
which specifies which specs should be developed in the environment.
This change is not expected to be disruptive given that existing environment `spack.yaml`
files will conform to the new schema.
(Update 11/28/2023) I have implemented the `develop`/`undevelop` commands in terms
of more-generic modification functions added to the `config` module: `change_or_add`
and `update_all`. It is assumed that the semantics added here (described in 11/18 update)
would be desirable to extend to other config update actions (e.g. adding compilers,
changing package requirements, adding mirrors).
(Update 11/18/2023) I have updated this such that `spack develop`, and
`spack undevelop` to potentially modify all writable scopes, like
https://github.com/spack/spack/pull/41147. https://github.com/spack/spack/pull/35307
will be useful for modifying included scopes, but generally speaking specifying a
`--scope` will not be required for `spack develop`: `spack develop` will add new
develop specs to whatever scope already has develop specs defined, or to the
highest-priority writable scope (which should be the env scope).
TODOs:
- [x] If you `spack undevelop` a package which is mentioned at multiple layers of
configuration, then currently this would only modify one of them. That's not
technically a new issue (has always existed for configuration modification), but
may be confusing to users when presented via an interface other than `spack config set`
- [x] Need to add (or confirm) the ability to modify individual config files by providing
a path (rather than using a scope identifier as a key to retrieve associated config).
- [x] `spack develop` adds new develop specs to the scope that defines them
(potentially skipping higher priority scopes to e.g. augment included scope files)

This PR does several things:
- [x] Allow any character to appear in the quoted values of variants and flags.
- [x] Allow easier passing of quoted flags on the command line, e.g. `cflags="-O2 -g"`.
- [x] Handle quoting better in spec output, using single quotes around double
quotes and vice versa.
- [x] Disallow spaces around `=` and `==` when parsing variants and flags.
## Motivation
This PR is motivated by the issues above and by ORNL's
[tips for launching at scale on Frontier](https://docs.olcf.ornl.gov/systems/frontier_user_guide.html#tips-for-launching-at-scale).
ORNL recommends using `sbcast --send-libs` to broadcast executables and their
libraries to compute nodes when running large jobs (e.g., 80k ranks). For an
executable named `exe`, `sbcast --send-libs` stores the needed libraries in a
directory alongside the executable called `exe_libs`. ORNL recommends pointing
`LD_LIBRARY_PATH` at that directory so that `exe` will find the local libraries and
not overwhelm the filesystem.
There are other ways to mitigate this problem:
* You could build with `RUNPATH` using `spack config add config:shared_linking:type:runpath`,
which would make `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` take precedence over Spack's `RUNPATHs`.
I don't recommend this one because `RUNPATH` can cause many other things to go wrong.
* You could use `spack config add config:shared_linking:bind:true`, added in #31948, which
will greatly reduce the filesystem load for large jobs by pointing `DT_NEEDED` entries in
ELF *directly* at the needed `.so` files instead of relying on `RPATH` search via soname.
I have not experimented with this at 80,000 ranks, but it should help quite a bit.
* You could use [Spindle](https://github.com/hpc/Spindle) (as LLNL does on its machines)
which should transparently fix this without any changes to your executable and without
any need to use `sbcast` or other tools.
But we want to support the `sbcast` use case as well.
## `sbcast` and Spack
Spack's `RPATHs` break the `sbcast` fix because they're considered with higher precedence
than `LD_LIBRARY_PATH`. So Spack applications will still end up hitting the shared filesystem
when searching for libraries. We can avoid this by injecting some `ldflags` in to the build, e.g.,
if were were going to launch, say, `LAMMPS` at scale, we could add another `RPATH`
specifically for use with `sbcast`:
spack install lammps ldflags='-Wl,-rpath=$ORIGIN/lmp_libs'
This will put the `lmp_libs` directory alongside `LAMMPS`'s `lmp` executable first in the
`RPATH`, so it will be searched before any directories on the shared filesystem.
## Issues with quoting
Before this PR, the command above would've errored out for two reasons:
1. `$` wasn't an allowed character in our spec parser.
2. You would've had to double quote the flags to get them to pass through correctly:
spack install lammps ldflags='"-Wl,-rpath=$ORIGIN/lmp_libs"'
This is ugly and I don't think many users will easily figure it out. The behavior was added in
#29282, and it improved parsing of specs passed as a single string, e.g.:
spack install 'lammps ldflags="-Wl,-rpath=$ORIGIN/lmp_libs"'
but a lot of users are naturally going to try to quote arguments *directly* on the command
line, without quoting their entire spec. #29282 used a heuristic to detect unquoted flags
and warn the user, but the warning could be confusing. In particular, if you wrote
`cflags="-O2 -g"` on the command line, it would break the flags up, warn, and tell you
that you could fix the issue by writing `cflags="-O2 -g"` even though you just wrote
that. It's telling you to *quote* that value, but the user has to know to double quote.
## New heuristic for quoted arguments from the CLI
There are only two places where we allow arbitrary quoted strings in specs: flags and
variant values, so this PR adds a simpler heuristic to the CLI parser: if an argument in
`sys.argv` starts with `name=...`, then we assume the whole argument is quoted.
This means you can write:
spack install bzip2 cflags="-O2 -g"
directly on the command line, without multiple levels of quoting. This also works:
spack install 'bzip2 cflags="-O2 -g"'
The only place where this heuristic runs into ambiguity is if you attempt to pass
anonymous specs that start with `name=...` as one large string. e.g., this will be
interpreted as one large flag value:
spack find 'cflags="-O2 -g" ~bar +baz'
This sets `cflags` to `"-O2 -g" ~bar +baz`, which is likely not what you wanted. You
can fix this easily by either removing the quotes:
spack find cflags="-O2 -g" ~bar +baz
Or by adding a space at the start, which has the same effect:
spack find ' cflags="-O2 -g" ~bar +baz'
You may wonder why we don't just look for quotes inside of flag arguments, and the
reason is that you *might* want them there. If you are passing arguments like:
spack install zlib cppflags="-D DEBUG_MSG1='quick fox' -D DEBUG_MSG2='lazy dog'"
You *need* the quotes there. So we've opted for one potentially confusing, but easily
fixed outcome vs. limiting what you can put in your quoted strings.
## Quotes in formatted spec output
In addition to being more lenient about characters accepted in quoted strings, this PR fixes
up spec formatting a bit. We now format quoted strings in specs with single quotes, unless
the string has a single quote in it, in which case we JSON-escape the string (i.e., we add
`\` before `"` and `\`).
zlib cflags='-D FOO="bar"'
zlib cflags="-D FOO='bar'"
zlib cflags="-D FOO='bar' BAR=\"baz\""
MySQL was performing a core API call to `Spec.flat_dependencies`
when setting up the build environment. This function is an
implementation detail of the old concretizer, where multiple nodes
from the same package are not allowed.
This PR uses a more idiomatic way to check if "python" is
in the DAG.
For reference, see #11356 to check why the call was introduced.

ginkgo: add a commit sha to v1.5.0.glu_experimental
This was missed while backporting the new `spack info` command from #40326.
Variants should be sorted by name when invoking `spack info --variants-by-name`.
This looks to me like the best compromise regarding externals in a
build cache. I wouldn't want `spack install` on my machine to install
specs that were marked external on another. At the same time there are
centers that control the target systems on which spack is used, and
would want to use external in buildcaches.
As a solution, reuse concretization will now consider those externals
used in buildcaches that match a locally configured external in
packages.yaml.
So for example person A installs and pushes specs with this config:
```yaml
packages:
ncurses:
externals:
- spec: ncurses@6.0.12345 +feature
prefix: /usr
```
and person B concretizes and installs using that buildcache with the
following config:
```yaml
packages:
ncurses:
externals:
- spec: ncurses@6
prefix: /usr
```
the spec will be reused (or rather, will be considered for reuse...)

PR #40929 reverted the argument parsing to make `spack --verbose
install` work again. It looks like `--verbose` is the only instance
where this kind of argument inheritance is used since all other commands
override arguments with the same name instead. For instance, `spack
--bootstrap clean` does not invoke `spack clean --bootstrap`.
Therefore, fix multi-line aliases again by parsing the resolved
arguments and instead explicitly pass down `args.verbose` to commands.
This commit discards type mismatches or failures to validate a package preference during concretization. The values discarded are logged as debug level messages. It also adds a config audit to help users spot misconfigurations in packages.yaml preferences.
This roughly restores the order of operation from Spack 0.20,
where where `AutotoolsPackage.setup_build_environment` would
override the env variable set in `setup_platform_environment` on
macOS.
When improving the error message, we started #showing in the
answer set a lot more symbols - but we forgot to suppress the
debug messages warning about UNKNOWN SYMBOLs

Tests didn't cover the new `--variants-by-name` parameter in #40998.
Add some parameterization to hit that.
This changeset makes me think that the main section-printing loop in `spack info` isn't
factored so well. It makes it difficult to pass different arguments to different helper
functions. I could break it out into if statements if folks think that would be cleaner.
We have two ways to concretize now:
* `spack concretize` concretizes only the root specs that are not concrete in the environment.
* `spack concretize -f` eliminates all cached concretization data and reconcretizes the *entire* environment.
This PR adds `spack deconcretize`, which eliminates cached concretization data for a spec. This allows
users greater control over what is preserved from their `spack.lock` file and what is reused when not
using `spack concretize -f`. If you want to update a spec installed in your environment, you can call
`spack deconcretize` on it, and that spec and any relevant dependents will be removed from the lock file.
`spack concretize` has two options:
* `--root`: limits deconcretized specs to *specific* roots in the environment. You can use this to
deconcretize exactly one root in a `unify: false` environment. i.e., if `foo` root is a dependent
of `bar`, both roots, `spack deconcretize bar` will *not* deconcretize `foo`.
* `--all`: deconcretize *all* specs that match the input spec. By default `spack deconcretize`
will complain about multiple matches, like `spack uninstall`.
The ^mkl pattern was used to refer to three packages
even though none of software using it was depending
on "mkl".
This pattern, which follows Hyrum's law, is now being
removed in favor of a more explicit one.
In this PR gromacs, abinit, lammps, and quantum-espresso
are modified.
Intel packages are also modified to provide "lapack"
and "blas" together.
And improve the error message (load vs unload).
Of course you could have some uninstalled dependency too, but as long as
it doesn't implement `setup_run_environment` etc, I don't think it hurts
to attempt to load the root anyways, given that failure to do so is a
warning, not a fatal error.
This changes variant display to use a much more legible format, and to use screen space
much better (particularly on narrow terminals). It also adds color the variant display
to match other parts of `spack info`.
Descriptions and variant value lists that were frequently squished into a tiny column
before now have closer to the full terminal width.
This change also preserves any whitespace formatting present in `package.py`, so package
maintainers can make easer-to-read descriptions of variant values if they want. For
example, `gasnet` has had a nice description of the `conduits` variant for a while, but
it was wrapped and made illegible by `spack info`. That is now fixed and the original
newlines are kept.
Conditional variants are grouped by their when clauses by default, but if you do not
like the grouping, you can display all the variants in order with `--variants-by-name`.
I'm not sure when people will prefer this, but it makes it easier to tell that a
particular variant is/isn't there. I do think grouping by `when` is the better default.
This commit improves forward compatibility of Spack with newer build cache metadata formats.
Before this commit, invalid or unrecognized metadata would be fatal errors, now they just cause
a mirror to be skipped.

Before this PR, variant were not propagated to leaf nodes that could accept
the propagated value, if some intermediate node couldn't accept it.
This PR fixes that issue by marking nodes as "candidate" for propagation
and by setting the variant only if it can be accepted by the node.

Modify the packages.yaml schema so that soft-preferences on targets,
compilers and providers can only be specified under the "all" attribute.
This makes them effectively global preferences.
Version preferences instead can only be specified under a package
specific section.
If a preference attribute is found in a section where it should
not be, it will be ignored and a warning is printed to screen.
Most queries will end up calling `spec.satisfies(query)` on everything in the DB, which
will cause Spack to ask whether the query spec is virtual if its name doesn't match the
target spec's. This can be expensive, because it can cause Spack to check if any new
virtuals showed up in *all* the packages it knows about. That can currently trigger
thousands of `stat()` calls.
We can avoid the virtual check for most successful queries if we consider that if there
*is* a match by name, the query spec *can't* be virtual. This PR adds an optimization to
the query loop to save any comparisons that would trigger a virtual check for last.
- [x] Add a `deferred` list to the `query()` loop.
- [x] First run through the `query()` loop *only* checks for name matches.
- [x] Query loop now returns early if there's a name match, skipping most `satisfies()` calls.
- [x] Second run through the `deferred()` list only runs if query spec is virtual.
- [x] Fix up handling of concrete specs.
- [x] Add test for querying virtuals in DB.
- [x] Avoid allocating deferred if not necessary.

Currently there's some hacky logic in the AppleClang compiler that makes
it also accept `gfortran` as a fortran compiler if `flang` is not found.
This is guarded by `if sys.platform` checks s.t. it only applies to
Darwin.
But on Linux the feature of detecting mixed toolchains is highly
requested too, cause it's rather annoying to run into a failed build of
`openblas` after dozens of minutes of compiling its dependencies, just
because clang doesn't have a fortran compiler.
In particular in CI where the system compilers may change during system
updates, it's typically impossible to fix compilers in a hand-written
compilers.yaml config file: the config will almost certainly be outdated
sooner or later, and maintaining one config file per target machine and
writing logic to select the correct config is rather undesirable too.
---
This PR introduces a flag `spack compiler find --mixed-toolchain` that
fills out missing `fc` and `f77` entries in `clang` / `apple-clang` by
picking the best matching `gcc`.
It is enabled by default on macOS, but not on Linux, matching current
behavior of `spack compiler find`.
The "best matching gcc" logic and compiler path updates are identical to
how compiler path dictionaries are currently flattened "horizontally"
(per compiler id). This just adds logic to do the same "vertically"
(across different compiler ids).
So, with this change on Ubuntu 22.04:
```
$ spack compiler find --mixed-toolchain
==> Added 6 new compilers to /home/harmen/.spack/linux/compilers.yaml
gcc@13.1.0 gcc@12.3.0 gcc@11.4.0 gcc@10.5.0 clang@16.0.0 clang@15.0.7
==> Compilers are defined in the following files:
/home/harmen/.spack/linux/compilers.yaml
```
you finally get:
```
compilers:
- compiler:
spec: clang@=15.0.7
paths:
cc: /usr/bin/clang
cxx: /usr/bin/clang++
f77: /usr/bin/gfortran
fc: /usr/bin/gfortran
flags: {}
operating_system: ubuntu23.04
target: x86_64
modules: []
environment: {}
extra_rpaths: []
- compiler:
spec: clang@=16.0.0
paths:
cc: /usr/bin/clang-16
cxx: /usr/bin/clang++-16
f77: /usr/bin/gfortran
fc: /usr/bin/gfortran
flags: {}
operating_system: ubuntu23.04
target: x86_64
modules: []
environment: {}
extra_rpaths: []
```
The "best gcc" is automatically default system gcc, since it has no
suffixes / prefixes.
Add a new config section: `config:aliases`, which is a dictionary mapping aliases
to commands.
For instance:
```yaml
config:
aliases:
sp: spec -I
```
will define a new command `sp` that will execute `spec` with the `-I`
argument.
Aliases cannot override existing commands, and this is ensured with a test.
We cannot currently alias subcommands. Spack will warn about any aliases
containing a space, but will not error, which leaves room for subcommand
aliases in the future.

This adds a rather trivial context manager that lets you deduplicate repeated
arguments in directives, e.g.
```python
depends_on("py-x@1", when="@1", type=("build", "run"))
depends_on("py-x@2", when="@2", type=("build", "run"))
depends_on("py-x@3", when="@3", type=("build", "run"))
depends_on("py-x@4", when="@4", type=("build", "run"))
```
can be condensed to
```python
with default_args(type=("build", "run")):
depends_on("py-x@1", when="@1")
depends_on("py-x@2", when="@2")
depends_on("py-x@3", when="@3")
depends_on("py-x@4", when="@4")
```
The advantage is it's clear for humans, the downside it's less clear for type checkers due to type erasure.
Create chains of causation for error messages.
The current implementation is only completed for some of the many errors presented by the concretizer. The rest will need to be filled out over time, but this demonstrates the capability.
The basic idea is to associate conditions in the solver with one another in causal relationships, and to associate errors with the proximate causes of their facts in the condition graph. Then we can construct causal trees to explain errors, which will hopefully present users with useful information to avoid the error or report issues.
Technically, this is implemented as a secondary solve. The concretizer computes the optimal model, and if the optimal model contains an error, then a secondary solve computes causation information about the error(s) in the concretizer output.
Examples:

Future work:
In addition to fleshing out the causes of other errors, I would like to find a way to associate different components of the error messages with different causes. In this example it's pretty easy to infer which part is which, but I'm not confident that will always be the case.
See the previous PR #34500 for discussion of how the condition chains are incomplete. In the future, we may need custom logic for individual attributes to associate some important choice rules with conditions such that clingo choices or other derivations can be part of the explanation.

This PR implements the concept of "default environment", which doesn't have to be
created explicitly. The aim is to lower the barrier for adopting environments.
To (create and) activate the default environment, run
```
$ spack env activate
```
This mimics the behavior of
```
$ cd
```
which brings you to your home directory.
This is not a breaking change, since `spack env activate` without arguments
currently errors. It is similar to the already existing `spack env activate --temp`
command which always creates an env in a temporary directory, the difference
is that the default environment is a managed / named environment named `default`.
The name `default` is not a reserved name, it's just that `spack env activate`
creates it for you if you don't have it already.
With this change, you can get started with environments faster:
```
$ spack env activate [--prompt]
$ spack install --add x y z
```
instead of
```
$ spack env create default
==> Created environment 'default in /Users/harmenstoppels/spack/var/spack/environments/default
==> You can activate this environment with:
==> spack env activate default
$ spack env activate [--prompt] default
$ spack install --add x y z
```
Notice that Spack supports switching (but not stacking) environments, so the
parallel with `cd` is pretty clear:
```
$ spack env activate named_env
$ spack env status
==> In environment named_env
$ spack env activate
$ spack env status
==> In environment default
```
* Add command suggestions
This adds suggestions of similar commands in case users mistype a
command. Before:
```
$ spack spack
==> Error: spack is not a recognized Spack command or extension command; check with `spack commands`.
```
After:
```
$ spack spack
==> Error: spack is not a recognized Spack command or extension command; check with `spack commands`.
Did you mean one of the following commands?
spec
patch
```
* Add package name suggestions
* Remove suggestion to run spack clean -m
This PR adds support for including separate definitions from `spack.yaml`.
Supporting the inclusion of files with definitions enables user to make
curated/standardized collections of packages that can re-used by others.
Currently module globals aren't set before running
`setup_[dependent_]run_environment` to compute environment modifications
for module files. This commit fixes that.
Looking at the memory profiles of concurrent solves
for environment with unify:false, it seems memory
is only ramping up.
This exchange in the potassco mailing list:
https://sourceforge.net/p/potassco/mailman/potassco-users/thread/b55b5b8c2e8945409abb3fa3c935c27e%40lohn.at/#msg36517698
Seems to suggest that clingo doesn't release memory
until end of the application.
Since when unify:false we distribute work to processes,
here we give a maxtaskperchild=1, so we clean memory
after each solve.
Some providers must provide virtuals "together", i.e.
if they provide one virtual of a set, they must be the
providers also of the others.
There was a bug though, where we were not checking if
the other virtuals in the set were needed at all in
the DAG.
This commit fixes the bug.
This PR makes it possible to select only a subset of virtual dependencies from a spec that _may_ provide more. To select providers, a syntax to specify edge attributes is introduced:
```
hdf5 ^[virtuals=mpi] mpich
```
With that syntax we can concretize specs like:
```console
$ spack spec strumpack ^[virtuals=mpi] intel-parallel-studio+mkl ^[virtuals=lapack] openblas
```
On `develop` this would currently fail with:
```console
$ spack spec strumpack ^intel-parallel-studio+mkl ^openblas
==> Error: Spec cannot include multiple providers for virtual 'blas'
Requested 'intel-parallel-studio' and 'openblas'
```
In package recipes, virtual specs that are declared in the same `provides` directive need to be provided _together_. This means that e.g. `openblas`, which has:
```python
provides("blas", "lapack")
```
needs to provide both `lapack` and `blas` when requested to provide at least one of them.
## Additional notes
This capability is needed to model compilers. Assuming that languages are treated like virtual dependencies, we might want e.g. to use LLVM to compile C/C++ and Gnu GCC to compile Fortran. This can be accomplished by the following[^1]:
```
hdf5 ^[virtuals=c,cxx] llvm ^[virtuals=fortran] gcc
```
[^1]: We plan to add some syntactic sugar around this syntax, and reuse the `%` sigil to avoid having a lot of boilerplate around compilers.
Modifications:
- [x] Add syntax to interact with edge attributes from spec literals
- [x] Add concretization logic to be able to cherry-pick virtual dependencies
- [x] Extend semantic of the `provides` directive to express when virtuals need to be provided together
- [x] Add unit-tests and documentation
Allowing white space around `:` in version ranges introduces an ambiguity:
```
a@1: b
```
parses as `a@1:b` but should really be parsed as two separate specs `a@1:` and `b`.
With white space disallowed around `:` in ranges, the ambiguity is resolved.
Call setup_dependent_run_environment on both link and run edges,
instead of only run edges, which restores old behavior.
Move setup_build_environment into get_env_modifications
Also call setup_run_environment on direct build deps, since their run
environment has to be set up.
* Add tests to ensure variant propagation syntax can round-trip to/from string
* Add a regression test for the bug in 35298
* Reconstruct the spec constraints in the worker process
Specs do not preserve any information on propagation of variants
when round-tripping to/from JSON (which we use to pickle), but
preserve it when round-tripping to/from strings.
Therefore, we pass a spec literal to the worker and reconstruct
the Spec objects there.
- [x] Add links to information people are going to want to know when adding license
information to their packages (namely OSI licenses and SPDX identifiers).
- [x] Update the packaging docs for `license()` with Spack as an example for `when=`.
After all, it's a dual-licensed package that changed once in the past.
- [x] Add link to https://spdx.org/licenses/ in the `spack create` boilerplate as well.
Typically MSVC is detected via the VSWhere program. However, this may
not be available, or may be installed in an unpredictable location.
This PR adds an additional approach via Windows Registry queries to
determine VS install location root.
Additionally:
* Construct vs_install_paths after class-definition time (move it to
variable-access time).
* Skip over keys for which a user does not have read permissions
when performing searches (previously the presence of these keys
would have caused an error, regardless of whether they were
needed).
* Extend helper functionality with option for regex matching on
registry keys vs. exact string matching.
* Some internal refactoring: remove boolean parameters in some cases
where the function was always called with the same value
(e.g. `find_subkey`)
.bat or .exe files can be considered executable on Windows. This PR
expands the regex for detectable packages to allow for the detection
of packages that vendor .bat wrappers (intel mpi for example).
Additional changes:
* Outside of Windows, when searching for executables `path_hints=None`
was used to indicate that default path hints should be provided,
and `[]` was taken to mean that no defaults should be chosen
(in that case, nothing is searched); behavior on Windows has
now been updated to match.
* Above logic for handling of `path_hints=[]` has also been extended
to library search (for both Linux and Windows).
* All exceptions for external packages were documented as timeout
errors: this commit adds a distinction for other types of errors
in warning messages to the user.
