Abseil adaptation for KasperskyOS (C++ Common Libraries)

This project is an adaptation of the Abseil library for KasperskyOS. The project is based on the 20220623.1 version and includes an example that demonstrates the use of the previously built and installed Abseil library in KasperskyOS.

The Abseil library for KasperskyOS is an open source collection of C++ libraries designed to augment the C++ standard library. For more information about the original abseil-cpp library, see its README.md file or Abseil website.

For additional details on KasperskyOS, including its limitations and known issues, please refer to the KasperskyOS Community Edition Online Help.

Getting started

Prerequisites

1. Install KasperskyOS Community Edition SDK. You can download the latest version of the KasperskyOS Community Edition for free from os.kaspersky.com. The minimum required version of KasperskyOS Community Edition SDK is 1.3. For more information, see System requirements.
2. Copy source files to your project directory. The example of KasperskyOS-based solution are located in the ./kos directory.

Building and installing

Abseil library for KasperskyOS

The Abseil library for KasperskyOS is built using the CMake build system, which is provided in the KasperskyOS Community Edition SDK.

To build and install the Abseil library for KasperskyOS, execute the cross-build.sh script located in the ./kos directory. There are environment variables that affect the build and installation of the library:

• SDK_PREFIX specifies the path to the installed version of the KasperskyOS Community Edition SDK. The value of this environment variable must be set.
• INSTALL_PREFIX specifies the installation path of the library. If not specified, the library will be installed in the ./kos/install directory.
• TARGET specifies the target platform. (Currently only the aarch64-kos platform is supported.)

For example, review the following command:

$ SDK_PREFIX=/opt/KasperskyOS-Community-Edition-<version> INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/libs/Abseil-kos ./cross-build.sh

The Abseil library is built and installed in the /home/libs/Abseil-kos/ directory using the SDK toolchain found in the /opt/KasperskyOS-Community-Edition-<version> path, where version is the latest version number of the KasperskyOS Community Edition SDK.

You can also use the following options:

• -h, --help

  Help text.

• -s, --sdk SDK_PREFIX

  Path to the installed version of the KasperskyOS Community Edition SDK. The value specified in the -s option takes precedence over the value of the SDK_PREFIX environment variable.

• -i, --install INSTALL_PREFIX

  Directory where Abseil for KasperskyOS binary files are installed. If not specified, the library will be installed in the ./kos/install directory. The value specified in the -i option takes precedence over the value of the INSTALL_PREFIX environment variable.

For example:

$ ./cross-build.sh -s /opt/KasperskyOS-Community-Edition-<version> -i /opt/libs

Tests

The Abseil library's tests have been adapted to run on KasperskyOS. The tests have the following limitations:

• Unit tests for KasperskyOS are currently available only for QEMU.
• Death tests are not supported by KasperskyOS.
• Tests such as symbolize_test, demangle_test and stack_consumption_test cannot be compiled due to the absence of POSIX sigaltstack() implementation in KasperskyOS.
• Some tests are skipped:
  • Tests with excessive memory allocation.
  • Tests converting float and double types to the string type and vice versa.
  • Uint128.ConversionTests case for the highest_precision_in_long_double test, where the precision is not as high as expected.
  • Int128FloatConversionTest.ConstructAndCastTest cases for large values.

Tests use an out-of-source build. The build tree is situated in the generated build_tests subdirectory of the ./kos directory. For each test suite, a separate image will be created. As it can be taxing on disk space, the tests will run sequentially.

There are environment variables that affect the build and installation of the tests:

• SDK_PREFIX specifies the path to the installed version of the KasperskyOS Community Edition SDK. The value of this environment variable must be set.
• TARGET specifies the target platform. (Currently only the aarch64-kos platform is supported.)

To build and run the tests, go to the ./kos directory and run the command:

$ [TARGET="aarch64-kos"] ./run-tests.sh [-s SDK_PREFIX] [--help] [--list] [-t TIMEOUT] [-n TEST_NAME_1] ... [-n TEST_NAME_N] [-t TIMEOUT] [-o OUT_PATH] [-j N_JOBS],

where:

• -s, --sdk SDK_PREFIX

  Path to the installed version of the KasperskyOS Community Edition SDK. The value specified in the -s option takes precedence over the value of the SDK_PREFIX environment variable.

• -h, --help

  Help text.

• -l, --list

  List of tests that can be run.

• -n, --name TEST_NAME

  Test name to execute. The parameter can be repeated multiple times. If not specified, all tests will be executed.

• -t, --timeout TIMEOUT

  Time, in seconds, allotted to start and execute a single test case. Default value is 300 seconds.

• -o, --out OUT_PATH

  Path where the results of the test run will be stored. If not specified, the results will be stored in the ./kos/build_tests/logs directory.

• -j, --jobs N_JOBS

  Number of jobs for parallel build. If not specified, the default value obtained from the nproc command is used.

For example, to start executing all tests, use the following command:

$ SDK_PREFIX=/opt/KasperskyOS-Community-Edition-<version> ./run-tests.sh

Usage

When you develop a KasperskyOS-based solution, use the recommended structure of project directories to simplify usage of CMake scripts.

To include the Abseil library in a KasperskyOS-based solution, it is recommended to use a previously built and installed Abseil library in KasperskyOS. The project's example demonstrates this methods.

Example

./kos/example—Example of using the previously installed Abseil library.

Tests

./kos/run-tests.sh—Script downloads the GoogleTest framework and then runs unit tests using that framework.
