dumb -> leaking:
make it more clear what this "GC" does: leak everything.
marksweep -> conservative:
"marksweep" is too generic, use "conservative" to differentiate
between future garbage collectors: precise marksweep / mark-compact /
refcounting.
Without this, clang tries to process the header line as part of
its valid input. eg:
main.ll:1:1: error: expected top-level entity
Generated LLVM IR:

Check various locations that $GOROOT may live, including the location of
the go binary. But make it possible to override this autodetection by
setting GOROOT manually as an environment variable.
On Debian, all LLVM commands have a version suffix (clang-8, ld.lld-8,
wasm-ld-8, etc.). However. Most other distributions only provide a
version prefix for Clang and not for all the other commands.
This commit fixes the issue by trying the command with the version
suffix first and falling back to one without if needed.
This commit avoids setting the working directory to the TinyGo root when
invocating Clang. This helps to weed out issues before we add support
for bundling Clang in a release.
Most of these errors are actually "todo" or "unimplemented" errors, so
the return type is known. This means that compilation can proceed (with
errors) even though the output will be incorrect. This is useful because
this way, all errors in a compilation unit can be shown together to the
user.
This commit adds the TinyGo root directory (`TINYGOROOT`) to the linker
script `-L` search path, so that linker scripts can be found when
running `tinygo` outside of the TinyGo root.
This was already working before when using an external linker by setting
the working directory, but this is not possible when using the internal
linker. However, by adding the root directory to the linker search path
(`-L`), it can now find these linker scripts.
fixes#265
This commit does a few things:
* remove the -8 suffix on macOS, where it is not necessary
* add smoke tests for compiling wasm files on Linux and macOS
The interp package does a much better job at interpretation, and is
implemented as a pass on the IR which makes it much easier to compose.
Also, the implementation works much better as it is based on LLVM IR
instead of Go SSA.
When building statically against LLVM, LLD is also included now. When
included, the built in wasm-ld will automatically be used instead of the
external command.
There is also support for linking ELF files but because lld does not
fully support armv6m this is not yet enabled (it produces a warning).
Do not try to use the ExectutionEngine of Go, instead compile the
program in the conventional way and run the binary.
This fixes some code duplication that causes slight (but problematic)
misbehavior between `tinygo build` and `tinygo run`.
This commit does two things:
* It adds support for the GOOS and GOARCH environment variables. They
fall back to runtime.GO* only when not available.
* It adds support for 3 new architectures: 386, arm, and arm64. For
now, this is Linux-only.
* all: add support for specifying target CPU in target config
* avr: specify the chip name in the target CPU
This reduces code size by a large margin. For examples/blinky, it
reduces code size from 1360 to 1266 when compiling for the Arduino Uno
(94 bytes, or ~7%).
This commit changes many things:
* Most interface-related operations are moved into an optimization
pass for more modularity. IR construction creates pseudo-calls which
are lowered in this pass.
* Type codes are assigned in this interface lowering pass, after DCE.
* Type codes are sorted by usage: types more often used in type
asserts are assigned lower numbers to ease jump table construction
during machine code generation.
* Interface assertions are optimized: they are replaced by constant
false, comparison against a constant, or a typeswitch with only
concrete types in the general case.
* Interface calls are replaced with unreachable, direct calls, or a
concrete type switch with direct calls depending on the number of
implementing types. This hopefully makes some interface patterns
zero-cost.
These changes lead to a ~0.5K reduction in code size on Cortex-M for
testdata/interface.go. It appears that a major cause for this is the
replacement of function pointers with direct calls, which are far more
susceptible to optimization. Also, not having a fixed global array of
function pointers greatly helps dead code elimination.
This change also makes future optimizations easier, like optimizations
on interface value comparisons.
