* Supply MacOS deployment target to delocate, use build+uv frontend
This shaves off multiple minutes from the wheel builds alone.
Also revert to trusted publishing for wheel uploads as it is now set up.
* Bump oldest supported Python to 3.10, eliminate setuptools-scm
The version is now a string again, under the same attribute as it was
before. This is a pragmatic decision in order to be able to upload wheels
again, possibly directly from main.
We could in the future also set the Python version to a development version
if we want to avoid accidental uploads of `main`.
* Add a note on supported Python versions in the docs
Also fixes the setuptools failure observed in the latest CI by pinning
to the last version before v73 until the problem is identified and resolved.
Until the PyPI account is recovered, it should be possible to upload
wheels with the GitHub secrets that were previously used.
Changes the PyPI upload action sourcing to point to the v1 stable release
branch, which receives rolling updates and is the canonical way of
including the wheel publishing action.
Uploading will probably need another release, because setuptools_scm
needs to produce a clean tag that the PyPI API allows as an upload.
It is now possible to build Mac wheels on native machines in Github
Actions, so ARM64 Mac wheels are now built and tested on M1 machines.
Also, the artifact up-/download was migrated to v4, which made it
necessary to upload wheels to unique artifact names, and then later
stitch them together again in a subsequent job.
The cross-platform Mac build injection in setup.py was removed,
since it is no longer necessary.
I relanded a monkey-patching of Bazel build files, this time for
MODULE.bazel. This is because `rules_python` does not allow running
as the root user, which is the case in cibuildwheel+Linux (happens
in a Docker container). Since I did not see a quick way of switching
to rootless containers, and did not want to hardcode the config change
(it can apparently cause cache misses and build failures), I inject the
"ignore_root_user_error" flag into the MODULE.bazel file when running
in cibuildwheel on Linux.
The reason for this is that `setuptools-scm` installs a version relative
to the last release tag - if no tag is found, the default version is taken
to be v0.1.0. This was the case in GitHub Actions, where only the PR
branch is checked out.
Also unpins build system requirements in the `pyproject.toml`.
The sdist build system was changed to `build` from `python setup.py sdist`
for forward compatibility - `build` is superior in every way, and the
advertised solution by both cibuildwheel and PyPA itself.
Bump `actions/setup-python` to v5, `pypa/gh-action-pypi-publish` to v1.8.11,
and `docker/setup-qemu-action` to v3.
* Add Python 3.12 support tag
* Bump nanobind to latest stable v1.6.2 tag
* Add PyPI trusted publishing to GitHub workflow, add Python 3.12 wheel builds
Trusted publishing has been available since v1.8.0 of the pypa-publish
action. It enables password-less authentication and wheel uploads from
the wheel upload job.
`cibuildwheel` was bumped to v2.16.2 to allow Python 3.12 wheel builds.
More info on trusted publishing:
https://github.com/marketplace/actions/pypi-publish#trusted-publishing
The Windows distribution was reverted to `latest` in the OS matrix,
since the discovery problem of MSVC was fixed in a Bazel patch release.
* Bump nanobind to stable v1.7.0 tag
The Windows toolchain detection fix made it into Bazel 6.3.0, so the CI
should work again with the re-enabled `windows-latest` marker.
Require Bazel 6.3.0 in the Linux container setup in `cibuildwheel`.
* End support for Python 3.7, update cibuildwheel and publish actions
Removes Python 3.7 from the support matrix, since it does not support
PEP590 vectorcalls.
Bumps the `cibuildwheel` and `pypa-publish` actions to their latest
available versions respectively.
* Add nanobind to the Bazel dependencies, add a BUILD file
The build file builds nanobind as a static `cc_library`. Currently,
the git SHA points to HEAD, since some necessary features have not
been included in a release yet.
* Delete pybind11 BUILD file
* Switch bindings implementation to nanobind
Switches over the binding tool to `nanobind` from `pybind11`. Most
changes in the build setup itself were drop-in replacements of existing
code changed to nanobind names, no new concepts needed to be
implemented.
Sets the minimum required macOS to 10.14 for full C++17 support. Also,
to avoid ambiguities in Bazel, build for macOS 11 on Mac ARM64.
* Use Bazel select for linker options
Guards against unknown linker option errors by selecting required
linker options for nanobind only on macOS, where they are relevant.
Other changes:
* Bump cibuildwheel action to v2.12.0
* Bump Bazel for aarch64 linux wheels to 6.0.0
* Remove C++17 flag from build files since it is present in setup.py `bazel build` command
* Bump nanobind commit to current HEAD (TBD: Bump to next stable release)
* Unbreak Windows builds of nanobind-based bindings
Guards compiler options behind a new `select` macro choosing between
MSVC and not MSVC.
Other changes:
* Inject the proper C++17 standard cxxopt in the `setup.py` build
command.
* Bump nanobind to current HEAD.
* Make `macos` a benchmark-wide condition, with public visibility to
allow its use in the nanobind BUILD file.
* Fall back to `nb::implicitly_convertible` for Counter construction
Since `benchmark::Counter` only has a constructor for `double`,
the nanobind `nb::init_implicit` template cannot be used. Therefore,
to support implicit construction from ints, we fall back to the
`nb::implicitly_convertible` template instead.
This commit bumps the pybind11 version to 2.10.0, which is the first
pybind version coming with Python 3.11 support. This change is necessary
to facilitate wheel builds for Python 3.11 and upward, as changes to
Python internals in 3.11 broke compatibility with older pybind11
versions.

This commit enables arm64 Linux wheel builds for Python.
It also changes the build procedure on Linux using
cibuildwheel in GitHub Actions. Instead of the more granular, verbose
approach that was used until now, we opt for the GitHub Action released
by cibuildwheel directly.
We also change the Bazel install procedure in the manylinux Docker
container image. Previously, Bazel was installed from an added RHEL repo, since that is
the recommended official way of installing Bazel on CentOS platforms.
However, the last successful build available for manylinux2014 has been Bazel 4,
which is showing its age with the release of Bazel 6 coming up as of this commit.
After this change, prebuilt Bazel binaries are downloaded using
wget directly from the Bazel GitHub release page. Since Bazel is built
for both x86 and arm64 on Linux, we immediately gain wheel build
support for these architectures. However, since the architecture
of the manylinux image is aarch64 instead of arm64,
a shell script was added that normalizes aarch64 to arm64,
and installs the correct arm64 Bazel binary if necessary.
Previously, with the unrolled job matrix, all jobs had to be listed individually in the `needs` section of the PyPI upload job. But as the wheel build job was reimplemented as a job matrix now, with a
single build job name `build_wheels`, we need to adjust the name in the PyPI upload job as well here to avoid errors.
This commit adds a `bazel shutdown` command to the setuptools BazelExtension. This has the effect that wheel builds shut down the Bazel server and terminate gracefully after the build, something
that was previously an issue on Windows builds.
Since the windows-specific `--no-clean` flag option to `pip wheel` becomes unnecessary due to this change, this change has the side-effect that GitHub Actions wheel builds via `cibuildwheel` can now
be written as a compact job matrix again, which leads to a lot of deduplicated code in the corresponding workflow file.
Lastly, some GitHub-provided actions (checkout, setup-python, upload/download-artifact) were bumped to the latest v3 version.
This commit adds a job running after the wheel building job responsible for uploading the built wheels to PyPI.
The job only runs on successful completion of all build jobs, and uploads to PyPI using a secret added to the Google Benchmark repo (TBD).
Also, the setup-python action has been bumped to the latest version v3.
* Fix dependency typo and unpin cibuildwheel version in wheel building action
* Move to monolithic build jobs, restrict to x64 architectures
As of this commit, all wheel building jobs complete on GitHub Actions. Since some platform-specific options had to be set to fix different types of build problems underway, the build job matrix was unrolled.
Still left TODO:
* Wheel testing after build (running the Python bindings test)
* Emulating bazel on other architectures to build aarch64/i686/ppc64le
* Enabling Win32 (this fails due to linker errors).
* Add binding test commands for all wheels, set macOSX deployment target to 10.9
* Add instructions for updating Python __version__ variable before release creation
