[PATCH] meson: Pass -j option to sphinx
Posted by Fabiano Rosas 1 year ago
Save a bit of build time by passing the number of jobs option to
sphinx.

To avoid warnings from sphinx, alter our plugins to inform whether
they support parallelism. The two plugins touched are quite simple and
I don't see anything that would indicate they do not support being
called in parallel, so return True for both reads and writes.

before:
 $ time make -j16 man html
 ...
 [1/2] Generating docs/QEMU manual with a custom command
 [2/2] Generating docs/QEMU man pages with a custom command

 real    0m49.770s
 user    0m49.425s
 sys     0m0.716s

after:
 $ time make -j16 man html
 ...
 [1/2] Generating docs/QEMU manual with a custom command (wrapped by meson because command contains newlines)
 [2/2] Generating docs/QEMU man pages with a custom command (wrapped by meson because command contains newlines)

Wouldn't it be better to use the value from "make -jXX" instead of always 
running with the maximum number of processors here?

IIUC, this is not exposed by meson.

When I test this on Fedora 38, the docs build hangs forever.

I ran sphinx directly and see it prints a traceback and then
fails to exit after this error

Ah it seems the DBus plugin is only in effect when using sphinx > 4.
I'll try to reproduce and see what it takes to implement this
merge_domaindata. Thanks for testing.
