ThinLTO results in a small code size reduction, which is nice
(especially on these very small chips). It also brings us one step
closer to using ThinLTO everywhere.
LLVM wasn't aware that runtime.stackChainStart must be kept live and
can't be optimized away. With this hack, it is forced to consider
stackChainStart live at the time of the stack scan.
This fixes the corruption in https://github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/issues/3277
This reverts commit 0b3a7280fa and updates
the documentation a little bit to explain the purpose of -gc=none. (I'm
thinking about the attiny10 by the way where defaulting to -gc=none
makes sense).
I found that .data is not correctly initialized with firmware images
that use over 64kB of flash. The problem is that the data in .data
(which is stored in flash, and copied to RAM at reset) is beyond the
64kB limit and must therefore be loaded using the elpm instruction
instead of the lpm instruction.
I encountered this issue while getting testdata/math.go to work for AVR.
The following command mostly works with this patch, while it prints
garbage withtout it:
tinygo run -target=simavr -size=short -scheduler=none ./testdata/math.go
(This also requires a patch to picolibc to work, see
https://github.com/picolibc/picolibc/pull/371)
It still doesn't work entirely with this patch: some of the math
operations have an incorrect result. But at least it's an improvement as
it won't print garbage anymore.
- 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.
Before this patch, `tinygo lldb path/to/package` would result in an
error:
(lldb) target create --arch=arm64-unknown-macosx10.12.0 "/var/folders/17/btmpymwj0wv6n50cmslwyr900000gn/T/tinygo2731663853/main"
error: the specified architecture 'arm64-unknown-macosx10.12.0' is not compatible with 'arm64-apple-macosx10.12.0' in '/var/folders/17/btmpymwj0wv6n50cmslwyr900000gn/T/tinygo2731663853/main'
This patch fixes this error.
Unfortunately, it doesn't get debug information to work yet. I still
haven't figured out what's going wrong here. But it's progress, I guess.
This is now possible because we're using the LLVM linker. It results in
some very minor code size reductions. The main benefit however is
consistency: eventually, all targets will support ThinLTO at which point
we can remove support for GNU linkers and simplify the compiler.
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 flag controls whether to convert external i64 parameters for use in
a browser-like environment.
This flag was needed in the past because back then we only supported
wasm on browsers but no WASI. Now, I can't think of a reason why anybody
would want to change the default. For `-target=wasm` (used for
browser-like environments), the wasm_exec.js file expects this
i64-via-stack ABI. For WASI, there is no limitation on i64 values and
`-wasm-abi=generic` is the default.
Anonymous enums (often used in typedefs) triggered a problem that was
already solved for structs but wasn't yet solved for enums. So this
patch generalizes the code to work for both structs and enums, and adds
testing for both.
Running `go install` on MacOS produces the following warning:
# github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo
ld: warning: directory not found for option '-L/opt/homebrew/opt/libffi/lib'
It doesn't look like libffi is used anywhere, so I simply removed it.
Not sure why it was included in the first place.
(I updated the Makefile for consistency, but we really should be
removing that Makefile especially because the Go bindings are removed in
upstream LLVM).
This should hopefully fix the following issue:
DW_FORM_rnglistx index pointing outside of .debug_rnglists offset array [in module /tmp/tinygo4013272868/main]
This command didn't work anymore since the refactor in #3211.
The reason it doesn't work anymore is that before the refactor, the code
in the callback wasn't executed for .ll, .bc and .o files but after the
refactor it is, which causes a spurious error.
This commit fixes this oversight.
Example that didn't work anymore and is fixed with this change:
tinygo build -o test.ll examples/serial
These instructions sometimes pop up in LLVM 15, but they never occured
in LLVM 14. Implementing them is relatively straightforward: simply
generalize the code that already exists for llvm.ICmp interpreting.
This flag is necessary in LLVM 15 because it appears that LLVM 15 has
changed the default target ABI from lp64 to lp64d. This results in a
linker failure. Setting the "target-abi" forces the RISC-V backend to
use the intended target ABI.
There was a bug in the wasm ABI lowering pass (found using
AddressSanitizer on LLVM 15) that resulted in a rather subtle memory
corruption. This commit fixes this issues.
A number of llvm.Const* functions (in particular extractvalue and
insertvalue) were removed in LLVM 15, so we have to use a builder
instead. This builder will create the same constant values, it simply
uses a different API.
