This makes reviewing PRs a lot easier because I don't have to run this
myself :)
This only uses the drivers repo so far, which is a good starting point
but doesn't include binary size changes for WebAssembly for example. A
future change could add some real-world programs to get a better idea of
the real-world impact.
To be clear: the intention is not to just look at the number at the
bottom. It is important to look at the actual size difference to see the
overall pattern (like, the difference may be due to a few outlier).
This test only applies when using the built-in LLVM version. This way,
we have a stable LLVM version to test against. Distribution versions of
LLVM (especially Debian) tend to be patched in a way that affect the
results.
This should fix a number of concurrency/threading issues.
I had to force-disable concurrency in the linker using a hack. I'm not
entirely sure what the cause is, possibly the MinGW version (version 12
appears to work for me, while version 11 as used on the GitHub runner
image seems to be broken).
There are a few ways to fix this in a better way:
* Fix the underlying cause (possibly by upgrading to MinGW-w64 12).
* Add the `--threads` flag to the LLD MinGW linker, so we can use a
regular parameter instead of this hack.
It can be difficult to find what went wrong in a test. Omitting -v
should make it easier to see the failing tests and the output for them
(note that output is still printed for tests that fail).
- 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.
