Uwe Schindler commented on LUCENE-4335:
---------------------------------------

bq. But now I think we need to edit Uwe Schindler's groovy script to be a macro 
that fails also if any files were modified.

If we change the top-level task that runs on ant validate, the problem with 
that is that you are then no longer be able to run validate on a modified 
checkout before committing. But I think you are thinking of running this check 
only on the generated files?

We could create a separate svnkit macro that does a before/after check. I am 
thinking about a groovy script that runs a check for modified files, saves that 
information in a Set<?>, then calls a subant with the regenerate task and runs 
the macro code again, this time adding to a different set. If the Sets are not 
identical something has changed :-)

I can assist with that!

> We have more and more sources that are generated programmatically (query 
> parsers, fuzzy levN tables from Moman, packed ints specialized decoders, 
> etc.), and it's dangerous because developers may directly edit the generated 
> sources and forget to edit the meta-source.  It's happened to me several 
> times ... most recently just after landing the BlockPostingsFormat branch.
> I think we should re-gen all of these in our builds and fail the build if 
> this creates a difference.  I know some generators (eg JavaCC) embed 
> timestamps and so always create mods ... we can leave them out of this for 
> starters (or maybe post-process the sources to remove the timestamps) ...
