tests.regressions.modules.algorithms.static_chunker_2282 fails in the macOS CI (Debug) of every branch that includes 377889f, which enabled HPX_WITH_TASK_SIZE_DEFAULT_PARAMETERS there (all 25 most recent failed runs of that workflow, including release-2.0.X):

libc++abi: terminating due to uncaught exception of type hpx::detail::exception_with_info<hpx::exception>: Attempting to register a thread outside the HPX runtime and no default pool handler is installed. Did you mean to run this on an HPX thread?: HPX(invalid_status)

The test calls hpx::fill(hpx::execution::par, ...) before the runtime is started and expects an hpx::exception. With that option, default_parameters derives from task_size_chunk_size, whose processing_units_count is noexcept but calls the executor's processing_units_count, which throws invalid_status from get_self_or_default_pool when the runtime isn't running. The exception reaches the noexcept and the program terminates. num_cores::processing_units_count has the same problem.

This PR removes the noexcept from both. The test now also runs fill with par.with(num_cores(2)) and par.with(task_size_chunk_size()), so it covers both functions in all configurations, not only with HPX_WITH_TASK_SIZE_DEFAULT_PARAMETERS=ON.

Tested on Windows (MSVC 19.44, HPX_WITH_TASK_SIZE_DEFAULT_PARAMETERS=ON): with the headers from master the new test terminates (0xC0000409, std::terminate from a noexcept frame above get_self_or_default_pool), with this change static_chunker_2282 and executor_parameters pass.

…ze noexcept

Both call the executor's processing_units_count, which throws if the HPX runtime isn't running. An algorithm called before the runtime has started then ended in std::terminate instead of throwing. With HPX_WITH_TASK_SIZE_DEFAULT_PARAMETERS=ON, default_parameters derives from task_size_chunk_size, so this made static_chunker_2282 fail in the macOS CI. The test now also passes num_cores and task_size_chunk_size explicitly, so it covers both independent of that option.

Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Executor processing-unit queries can now report an error when the runtime is not running, rather than terminating if that error occurs.
  • Tests
    • Expanded regression coverage to check this behavior with multiple parallel execution configurations.

The executor processing-unit queries no longer declare noexcept, and their comments state that they can throw before runtime startup. The regression test checks hpx::fill with the parallel policy and two configured executor policies before runtime initialization.

Changes: Runtime exception contract

Layer / File(s) Summary
Executor query exception specifications
libs/core/execution/include/hpx/execution/executors/num_cores.hpp, libs/core/execution/include/hpx/execution/executors/task_size_chunk_size.hpp
Both processing_units_count methods no longer declare noexcept. Their comments state that the query can throw when the runtime is not running.
Uninitialized-runtime regression coverage
libs/core/algorithms/tests/regressions/static_chunker_2282.cpp
The test checks that hpx::fill throws before runtime initialization with parallel execution, num_cores(2), and task_size_chunk_size().

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 50.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 4 functions across 3 files.

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Return the test failures from main.

If a fill call returns without throwing, HPX_TEST records the failure, but main still returns zero. The test runner then reports success. Return hpx::util::report_errors() instead. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
