This attribute is also set by Clang when it compiles C source files
(unless -fexceptions is set). The advantage is that no unwind tables are
emitted on Linux (and perhaps other systems). It also avoids
__aeabi_unwind_cpp_pr0 on ARM when using the musl libc.
This commit changes a target triple like "armv6m-none-eabi" to
"armv6m-unknown-unknow-eabi". The reason is that while the former is
correctly parsed in Clang (due to normalization), it wasn't parsed
correctly in LLVM meaning that the environment wasn't set to EABI.
This change normalizes all target triples and uses the EABI environment
(-eabi in the triple) for Cortex-M targets.
This change also drops the `--target=` flag in the target JSON files,
the flag is now added implicitly in `(*compileopts.Config).CFlags()`.
This removes some duplication in target JSON files.
Unfortunately, this change also increases code size for Cortex-M
targets. It looks like LLVM now emits calls like __aeabi_memmove instead
of memmove, which pull in slightly more code (they basically just call
the regular C functions) and the calls themself don't seem to be as
efficient as they could be. Perhaps this is a LLVM bug that will be
fixed in the future, as this is a very common occurrence.
Do not store the context parameter (which is used for closures and
function pointers) in the goroutine start parameter bundle for direct
functions that don't need a context parameter. This avoids storing the
(undef) context parameter and thus makes the IR to start a new goroutine
simpler in most cases.
This reduces code size in the channel.go and goroutines.go tests.
Surprisingly, all test cases (when compiled with -target=microbit) have
a changed binary, I haven't investigated why but I suppose the codegen
is slightly different for the runtime.run function (which starts the
main goroutine).
Closure variables are allocated in a parent function and are thus never
nil. Don't do a nil check before reading or modifying the value.
This commit results in a slight reduction in code size in some test
cases: calls.go, channel.go, goroutines.go, json.go, sort.go -
presumably wherever closures are used.
Not sure why you would ever do this, but it appears to be allowed by the
Go specification and previously TinyGo would crash with an unhelpful
error message when you would do this. I don't see any practical use of
it.
The implementation simply runs the builtin directly.
This commit adds a test for both WebAssembly and Cortex-M targets (which
use a different way of goroutine lowering) to show how they lower
goroutines. It makes it easier to show how the output changes in future
commits.
