Build One C++ File

Use this skill when needing to compile one *.cc C++ file to check for errors. This provides a fast validation path without building the entire project.

Deterministic Rules

• MUST run only from ${IMPALA_HOME}.
• MUST configure the environment in the same shell session before building: export IMPALA_HOME=<git_repo_root> && cd "${IMPALA_HOME}" && source "${IMPALA_HOME}/bin/impala-config.sh" && source "${IMPALA_HOME}/bin/set-classpath.sh"
• MUST use .agents/skills/build-one-cc-file/scripts/omake.sh as the only build command path.
• MUST NOT use the agent's compile tool, Ninja, or direct CMake/Ninja invocation.

Available Scripts

• .agents/skills/build-one-cc-file/scripts/omake.sh [--dry-run] <input> — builds the single object file for one C++ source.
  • Accepts a bare basename (rpc-trace).
  • --dry-run: prints the resolved make command on stdout and exits 0. Does not build.
  • Without --dry-run: runs the make command; exits 0 on success, non-zero on failure.
  • If no build target is found: exits non-zero (grep failure propagated via set -e).

Input Contract

Pass exactly one argument: the source basename only.

• Input MUST be one token with no path separators.
• Input MUST NOT include a directory path.
• If input ends with .cc, strip .cc and continue.
• Basename MUST match this pattern: [A-Za-z0-9_-]+
• If validation fails, stop and request corrected input.

Examples:

• Correct: .agents/skills/build-one-cc-file/scripts/omake.sh rpc-trace
• Incorrect: .agents/skills/build-one-cc-file/scripts/omake.sh be/src/rpc/rpc-trace.cc
• Incorrect: .agents/skills/build-one-cc-file/scripts/omake.sh rpc-trace.cc

If starting from a path like be/src/rpc/rpc-trace.cc, convert it to rpc-trace before invocation.

Execution Procedure

1. Preflight and setup:
   • Ensure current directory is ${IMPALA_HOME}.
   • Ensure environment configuration has run in the current shell session.
2. First attempt MUST use dry-run:
   • Run: .agents/skills/build-one-cc-file/scripts/omake.sh --dry-run <basename>
   • If dry-run fails, stop and report failure details.
3. Execute real build after successful dry-run:
   • Run: .agents/skills/build-one-cc-file/scripts/omake.sh <basename>

Ambiguity Handling

If basename collision occurs (multiple candidate source files map to the same basename), do not guess.

• MUST ask the user to clarify which source path to use.
• MUST wait for clarification before running the real build command.

Failure and Retry Policy

On any failure:

• MUST report the exact command run.
• MUST report exit code.
• MUST report the first non-empty line from stderr; if stderr is empty, first stdout line containing "error:"

Retry behavior:

• MUST analyze the failure first.
• MUST attempt a concrete fix (for example corrected basename input or environment setup).
• MAY retry the real build (step 3) once after analysis and fix attempt.
• MUST NOT perform blind repeated retries.

Success Output Contract

On success, report:

• Normalized basename used.
• Dry-run command and result.
• Real build command and result.
• Final exit code and success confirmation.
