This allows TinyGo-built binaries to run under wasmtime, for example:
tinygo build -o test.wasm -no-debug -target=wasm examples/test
wasmtime run test.wasm 0
This avoids problems with goroutines in WebAssembly, and is generally a
good thing. It fixes some cases of the following problem:
LLVM ERROR: Coroutines cannot handle non static allocas yet
Thanks to Kyle Lemons for the inspiration and original design. The
implementation in this commit is very different however, building on top
of the software vectoring needed in RISC-V. The result is a flexible
interrupt handler that does not take up any RAM for configuration.
This is the same problem as in
https://github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/pull/605, but other targets also
suffer from it.
Discovered with the GBA target, but as pointed out in
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42881#c1 this appears to be a bug
in the way external globals are declared, not in LLVM. Therefore I
decided that fixing it everywhere would be the best thing to do.
This commit adds support for software vectoring in the PLIC interrupt.
The interrupt table is created by the compiler, which leads to very
compact code while retaining the flexibility that the interrupt API
provides.
This might sound crazy, but I think it's better to enable the GC by
default to avoid surprises. It costs 1130 bytes of flash and 16 bytes of
RAM (plus heap overhead) so it's not exactly free, but if needed it can
easily be disabled with `-gc=leaking`. On the Uno (32kB flash, 2kB RAM)
that's not massive, on the DigiSpark (8kB flash, 0.5kB RAM) that may be
too much depending on the application.
This implementation simply casts types without special support to an
interface, to make the implementation simpler and possibly reducing the
code size too. It will likely be slower than the canonical Go
implementation though (which builds special compare and hash functions
at compile time).
The wasi-libc Makefile uses the `find` command line tool. Unfortunately,
it was using the Windows find version instead of the MinGW version,
leading to lots of errors at a later stage.
This commit prepends /usr/bin to `$PATH` to make sure the MinGW version
is found first.
This allows CGo code to call some libc functions. Additionally, by
putting memset/memmove/memcpy in an archive they're not included anymore
when not necessary, reducing code size for small programs.
With this change, it's no longer necessary to set a specific pin mode:
it will get autodetected in the Configure() call.
Tested on an ItsyBitsy M4 with the mpu6050 example in the drivers repo.
On Windows, it is common that there is a colon in the path. avrdude will
treat that as a separator and everything behind it as the file format
specifier instead of defaulting to Intel hex format.
By explicitly specifying the Intel hex format (with `:i`), this issue
should be fixed.
A small footnote in the datasheet says that interrupt source numbers
correspond to the bit position in INTFLAG. We only need the RXC
interrupt for UART. In other words, ony the _2 interrupts (RXC is in the
2nd bit position) needs to be used for UART to work correctly.
In the future, more interrupts may be needed. They can then be added as
necessary.
I2C uses a hardcoded peripheral instead of referring to a specific
peripheral. In addition to that, it refers to the wrong SERCOM
(SERCOM3), which isn't used on any of the atsamd51 boards for I2C.
This commit lets the compiler know about interrupts and allows
optimizations to be performed based on that: interrupts are eliminated
when they appear to be unused in a program. This is done with a new
pseudo-call (runtime/interrupt.New) that is treated specially by the
compiler.
Use the cross compiling toolchains for compiling/linking. This fixes CGo
support, and therefore allows CGo to be used when cross compiling to
Linux on a different architecture.
This commit also removes some redundant testing code.
This results in a link error in the following commit (undefined
reference to runtime.trackedGlobalsBitmap from .debug_info). Solution:
don't emit debug info for declared but not defined symbols.
This greatly cuts down on compile time (by about 5x for small programs)
and also makes the program a whole lot smaller. Overall it cuts down
`make smoke-test` in the drivers repository by half (from 160s to 80s).
This will probably also fix the timeout issue in the Playground:
