- Use compiler-rt and picolibc instead of avr-libc.
- Use ld.lld instead of avr-ld (or avr-gcc).
This makes it much easier to get started with TinyGo on AVR because
installing these extra tools (gcc-avr, avr-libc) can be a hassle.
It also opens the door for future improvements such as ThinLTO.
There is a code size increase but I think it's worth it in the long run.
The code size increase can hopefully be reduced with improvements to the
LLVM AVR backend and to compiler-rt.
The Espressif fork of LLVM now has Xtensa support in the linker LLD.
(This support was written mosly by me). This means we don't have to use
the Espressif GNU toolchain anymore and makes installing TinyGo simpler.
In the future, this also paves the way for ThinLTO support. Right now it
is mostly just a way to simplify TinyGo installation and speed up CI
slightly.
This fixes https://github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/issues/3146 by using a
prebuilt Docker image. I don't remember why I used `setup-go` but
probably to make it faster (setup-go usually uses cached binaries).
This updates to setup-go@v3 which is the only updated version (v2 last
updated in feb), and employs its cache to simplify workflow
configuration.
Notably, we can't do this for Alpine until #3146

This makes it easier to move the TinyGo compiler between Linux versions
because it doesn't depend on any system libraries anymore. For example,
binaries should be able to run on old Linux versions and on
distributions without glibc (such as Alpine Linux).
This commit will start to use a few more WebAssembly features, such as
bulk memory operations. This results in a significant code size saving.
How much it saves varies a lot but it's typically around 1300 bytes.
This change is possible by bumping our minimum Node.js version to 14.
The previous LTS version (12) has been marked end of life, so we can
start to depend on features in the current oldest LTS version, which is
version 14. Browsers have been supporting these features for a long time
now, it's just Node.js that prevented us doing this before.
This change adds support for compiler-rt, which supports float64 (unlike
libgcc for AVR). This gets a number of tests to pass that require
float64 support.
We're still using libgcc with this change, but libgcc will probably be
removed eventually once AVR support in compiler-rt is a bit more mature.
I've also pushed a fix for a small regression in our
xtensa_release_14.0.0-patched LLVM branch that has also been merged
upstream. Without it, a floating point comparison against zero always
returns true which is certainly a bug. It is necessary to correctly
print floating point values.
Switch over to LLVM 14 for static builds. Keep using LLVM 13 for regular
builds for now.
This uses a branch of the upstream Espressif branch to fix an issue,
see: https://github.com/espressif/llvm-project/pull/59
I didn't see how to run it easily from main_test.go, though I didn't try too hard.
And it doesn't really have a good place to go in Makefile.
So I added a new target tinygo-baremetal, and invoke it from CI at the end of assert-test-linux.
It only adds 7 seconds to the run, should be ok.
This means that it will be possible to generate a Darwin binary on any
platform (Windows, Linux, and MacOS of course), including CGo. Of
course, the resulting binaries can only run on MacOS itself.
The binary links against libSystem.dylib, which is a shared library. The
macos-minimal-sdk repository contains open source header files and
generated symbol stubs so we can generate a stub libSystem.dylib without
copying any closed source code.
This would conflict with our own heap. We previously defined all those
functions to make sure it's not used, but with a more recent wasi-libc
version (https://github.com/WebAssembly/wasi-libc/pull/250) we can
simply not compile the wasi-libc heap, which is the proper fix.
The scoop and brew package managers now bundle up-to-date copies of binaryen.
As a result, there is no longer a strong need for us to build and package our own copy.
This adds support for building with `-tags=llvm13` and switches to LLVM
13 for tinygo binaries that are statically linked against LLVM.
Some notes on this commit:
* Added `-mfloat-abi=soft` to all Cortex-M targets because otherwise
nrfx would complain that floating point was enabled on Cortex-M0.
That's not the case, but with `-mfloat-abi=soft` the `__SOFTFP__`
macro is defined which silences this warning.
See: https://reviews.llvm.org/D100372
* Changed from `--sysroot=<root>` to `-nostdlib -isystem <root>` for
musl because with Clang 13, even with `--sysroot` some system
libraries are used which we don't want.
* Changed all `-Xclang -internal-isystem -Xclang` to simply
`-isystem`, for consistency with the above change. It appears to
have the same effect.
* Moved WebAssembly function declarations to the top of the file in
task_asyncify_wasm.S because (apparently) the assembler has become
more strict.
