Currently, turning optimizations off causes compile failures.
We rely on the optimizer removing some dead symbols.
Avoid providing an option that does not work right now.
In the future once everything has been fixed we can re-enable this.
This option was broken for a long time, in part because we didn't test
for it. This commit fixes that and adds a test to make sure it won't
break again unnoticed.
For now, this is just an extra flag that can be used to print stack
frame information, but this is intended to provide a way to determine
stack sizes for goroutines at compile time in many cases.
Stack sizes are often somewhere around 350 bytes so are in fact not all
that big usually. Once this can be determined at compile time in many
cases, it is possible to use this information when available and as a
result increase the fallback stack size if the size cannot be determined
at compile time. This should reduce stack overflows while at the same
time reducing RAM consumption in many cases.
Interesting output for testdata/channel.go:
function stack usage (in bytes)

This shows that the stack size (if these numbers are correct) can in
fact be determined automatically in many cases, especially for small
goroutines. One of the great things about Go is lightweight goroutines,
and reducing stack sizes is very important to make goroutines
lightweight on microcontrollers.
Debug information is often useful and there is no reason to include it
for Go code but not for C code. Also, disabling debug information should
disable it entirely, not just for Go code.
- Fix UART & putChar
- Timer-based sleep
- Enable systick in abort
- Buffered, interrupt-based UART TX
- Use the new interrupt API and fix sleepTicks
- Make pins behave more like other boards
- Use the MCU's UART numbering
- Allow interrupts to wake the scheduler (#1214)
The BUILDING.md file is not intended for developer builds but for
release builds. The website contains more specific and more complete
information on how to build TinyGo, so provide links to these pages.
The Windows link doesn't work yet, but should work with the next
release when we update the website.
This is needed to avoid linking errors because the globals are placed
in memory at address 0x80000000 which is out of bounds for the default
code model.
