For example, this commit moves the 'throw' branch of an assertion (nil
check, slice index check, etc) to the end of the function while
inserting the "continue" branch right after the insert location. This
makes the resulting IR easier to follow.
For some reason, this also reduces code size a bit on average. The
TinyGo smoke tests saw a reduction of 0.22%, mainly from WebAssembly.
The drivers repo saw little average change in code size (-0.01%).
This commit also adds a few compiler tests for the defer keyword.
llvm.AddBasicBlock should never be used. Instead, we should use the
AddBasicBlock method of the current LLVM context.
This didn't lead to any bugs... yet. But probably would, eventually.
Move it from *builder to *compilerContext, so that it can be called in
more places. This is necessary to create a string value (for the file
name) in createEmbedGlobal.
In the go protobuf code, a pattern is used to statically prevent
comparable structs by embedding:
```
type DoNotCompare [0]func()
type message struct {
DoNotCompare
data *uint32
}
```
Previously, sizezof(message{}) is 2 words large, but it only needs to be
1 byte. Making it be 1 byte allows protobufs to compile slightly more
(though not all the way).
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
Memory references (`*m` in LLVM IR inline assembly) need a pointer type
starting in LLVM 14. This is a bit inconvenient and requires a new API
in the go-llvm package.
Instead of doing that, I'd like to remove support for memory references
from AsmFull (and possibly AsmFull entirely if possible: it's hard to
use correctly).
This breaks tinygo.org/x/drivers/ws2812 for AVR, ARM, and RISC-V which
need to be updated. Probably using CGo.
There used to be a difference between `byte` and `uint8` in interface
methods. These are aliases, so they should be treated the same.
This patch introduces a custom serialization format for types,
circumventing the `Type.String()` method that is slightly wrong for our
purposes.
This also fixes an issue with the `any` keyword in Go 1.18, which
suffers from the same problem (but this time actually leads to a crash).
This removes the parentHandle argument from the internal calling convention.
It was formerly used to implment coroutines.
Now that coroutines have been removed, it is no longer necessary.
When a package only uses runtime.trackPointer to create interface packs, the compiler fails to find runtime.trackPointer.
This change predeclares it alongside runtime.alloc and updates the tests to use runtime.trackPointer when the test's target uses it.
The AVR backend has several critical atomics bugs.
This change invokes libcalls for all atomic operations on AVR.
Now `testdata/atomic.go` compiles and runs correctly.
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.
Large object layouts don't fit in a pointer-sized integer and therefore
need to be stored in a global instead. However, the way the data was
stored in these globals was not correct for buffers that don't have
pointers near the end. This commit fixes this issue by using math/big
FillBytes() instead of Bytes().
This gets the unicode package to compile on AVR.
This adds proper debug locations to interp errors. For example, when
trying to use the unicode package on AVR (which currently doesn't work),
the following error is shown with this commit:
/usr/local/go1.17/src/unicode/casetables.go:13:31: interp: ptrtoint integer size does not equal pointer size
Before this commit, that error was a lot less helpful:
unicode/<init>:13:31: interp: ptrtoint integer size does not equal pointer size
Instead of storing an increasing version number in relevant packages
(compiler.Version, interp.Version, cgo.Version, ...), read the build ID
from the currently running executable. This has several benefits:
* All changes relevant to the compiled packages are caught.
* No need to bump the version for each change to these packages.
This avoids merge conflicts.
* During development, `go install` is enough. No need to run
`tinygo clean` all the time.
Of course, the drawback is that it might be updated a bit more often
than necessary but I think the overall benefit is big.
Regular release users shouldn't see any difference. Because the tinygo
binary stays the same, the cache works well.
This change swaps the stack chain when switching goroutines, ensuring that the chain is maintained consistently.
This is only really currently necessary with asyncify on wasm.
Some map keys are hard to compare, such as floats. They are stored as if
the map keys are of interface type instead of the key type itself. This
makes working with them in the runtime package easier: they are compared
as regular interfaces.
Iterating over maps didn't care about this special case though. It just
returns the key, value pair as it is stored in the map. This is buggy,
and this commit fixes this bug.
FreeBSD support has been broken for a long time, probably since
https://github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/pull/1860 (merged in May). Nobody
has complained yet, so I am going to assume nobody uses it.
This doesn't remove support for FreeBSD entirely: the code necessary to
build TinyGo on FreeBSD is still there. It just removes the code
necessary to build binaries targetting FreeBSD. But again, it could very
well be broken as we don't test it.
If anybody wants to re-enable support for FreeBSD, they would be welcome
to do that. But I think it would at the very least need a smoke test of
some sort.
This patch adds //go: pragmas directly to declared functions and
globals found during CGo processing. This simplifies the logic in the
compiler: it no longer has to consider special "C." prefixed function
names. It also makes the cgo pass more flexible in the pragmas it emits
for functions and global variables.
This change implements a new "scheduler" for WebAssembly using binaryen's asyncify transform.
This is more reliable than the current "coroutines" transform, and works with non-Go code in the call stack.
runtime (js/wasm): handle scheduler nesting
If WASM calls into JS which calls back into WASM, it is possible for the scheduler to nest.
The event from the callback must be handled immediately, so the task cannot simply be deferred to the outer scheduler.
This creates a minimal scheduler loop which is used to handle such nesting.
This PR fixes two bugs at once:
1. Indices were incorrectly extended to a bigger type. Specifically,
unsigned integers were sign extended and signed integers were zero
extended. This commit swaps them around.
2. The getelementptr instruction was given the raw index, even if it
was a uint8 for example. However, getelementptr assumes the indices
are signed, and therefore an index of uint8(200) was interpreted as
an index of int8(-56).
This matches Clang, and with that, it adds support for inlining between
Go and C because LLVM only allows inlining if the "target-cpu" and
"target-features" string attributes match.
For example, take a look at the following code:
// int add(int a, int b) {
// return a + b;
// }
import "C"
func main() {
println(C.add(3, 5))
}
The 'add' function is not inlined into the main function before this
commit, but after it, it can be inlined and trivially be optimized to
`println(8)`.
This makes sure that the LLVM target features match the one generated by
Clang:
- This fixes a bug introduced when setting the target CPU for all
targets: Cortex-M4 would now start using floating point operations
while they were disabled in C.
- This will make it possible in the future to inline C functions in Go
and vice versa. This will need some more work though.
There is a code size impact. Cortex-M4 targets are increased slightly in
binary size while Cortex-M0 targets tend to be reduced a little bit.
Other than that, there is little impact.
Instead of doing everything in the interrupt lowering pass, generate
some more code in gen-device to declare interrupt handler functions and
do some work in the compiler so that interrupt lowering becomes a lot
simpler.
This has several benefits:
- Overall code is smaller, in particular the interrupt lowering pass.
- The code should be a bit less "magical" and instead a bit easier to
read. In particular, instead of having a magic
runtime.callInterruptHandler (that is fully written by the interrupt
lowering pass), the runtime calls a generated function like
device/sifive.InterruptHandler where this switch already exists in
code.
- Debug information is improved. This can be helpful during actual
debugging but is also useful for other uses of DWARF debug
information.
For an example on debug information improvement, this is what a
backtrace might look like before this commit:
Breakpoint 1, 0x00000b46 in UART0_IRQHandler ()
(gdb) bt
#0 0x00000b46 in UART0_IRQHandler ()
#1 <signal handler called>
[..etc]
Notice that the debugger doesn't see the source code location where it
has stopped.
After this commit, breaking at the same line might look like this:
Breakpoint 1, (*machine.UART).handleInterrupt (arg1=..., uart=<optimized out>) at /home/ayke/src/github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/src/machine/machine_nrf.go:200
200 uart.Receive(byte(nrf.UART0.RXD.Get()))
(gdb) bt
#0 (*machine.UART).handleInterrupt (arg1=..., uart=<optimized out>) at /home/ayke/src/github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/src/machine/machine_nrf.go:200
#1 UART0_IRQHandler () at /home/ayke/src/github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/src/device/nrf/nrf51.go:176
#2 <signal handler called>
[..etc]
By now, the debugger sees an actual source location for UART0_IRQHandler
(in the generated file) and an inlined function.
The target triples have to match mostly to be able to link LLVM modules.
Linking LLVM modules is already possible (the triples already match),
but testing becomes much easier when they match exactly.
For macOS, I picked "macosx10.12.0". That's an old and unsupported
version, but I had to pick _something_. Clang by default uses
"macos10.4.0", which is much older.
