This commit allows starting a new goroutine directly from a func value,
not just when the static callee is known.
This is necessary to support the whole time package, not just the
commonly used subset that was compiled with the SimpleDCE pass enabled.
A bug was introduced in the previous commit that led to miscompilations
in the time.Sleep function when the scheduler was disabled, because
time.Sleep (implemented in the runtime) tried to switch to the scheduler
stack.
This commit restores the binary size of most examples to what it was
before, but still reduces static RAM consumption (.bss) slightly. This
gives me some confidence that it does indeed fix the introduced bug.
This scheduler is intended to live along the (stackless) coroutine based
scheduler which is needed for WebAssembly and unsupported platforms. The
stack based scheduler is somewhat simpler in implementation as it does
not require full program transform passes and supports things like
function pointers and interface methods out of the box with no changes.
Code size is reduced in most cases, even in the case where no scheduler
scheduler is used at all. I'm not exactly sure why but these changes
likely allowed some further optimizations somewhere. Even RAM is
slightly reduced, perhaps some global was elminated in the process as
well.
Implements nearly all of the test logging methods for both T and B
structs. Majority of the code has been copied from:
golang.org/src/testing/testing.go
then updated to match the existing testing.go structure.
Code structure/function/method order mimics upstream.
Both FailNow() and SkipNow() cannot be completely implemented,
because they require an early exit from the goroutine. Instead,
they call Error() to report the limitation.
This incomplete implementation allows more detailed test logging and
increases compatiblity with upstream.
Linked lists are usually implemented as follows:
type linkedList struct {
next *linkedList
data int // whatever
}
This caused a stack overflow while writing out the reflect run-time type
information. This has now been fixed by splitting the allocation of a
named type number from setting the underlying type in the sidetable.
Previously it would use a bitcast, which cannot directly be used on AVR
because functions live in a different address space on AVR. To fix this,
use a ptrtoint/inttoptr pair.
This allows testdata/coroutines.go to be compiled, but due to what
appears to be an LLVM bug cannot be optimized and codegen'ed:
tinygo: /home/ayke/src/github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/llvm-project/llvm/lib/IR/Constants.cpp:1776: static llvm::Constant *llvm::ConstantExpr::getBitCast(llvm::Constant *, llvm::Type *, bool): Assertion `CastInst::castIsValid(Instruction::BitCast, C, DstTy) && "Invalid constantexpr bitcast!"' failed.
This happens as one of the function passes after the TinyGo passes and
after the module has been verified so most likely it is a bug somewhere
in LLVM.
Strings are emitted in .rodata sections, which are not yet mentioned in the linker script.
I can't exactly explain why it didn't work before, as these sections should have been included in .bss and thus properly aligned, but it appears to work reliably.
There are a lot more fields that are important when comparing structs
with each other. Take them into account when building the unique ID per
struct type.
Example code that differs between the compilers:
https://play.golang.org/p/nDX4tSHOf_T
With this change, it becomes possible to get the element type of named
slices, pointers, and channels.
This is a prerequisite to enable the common named struct types. There's
more to come.
This commit fixes the following issue:
https://github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/issues/309
Also, it prepares for some other reflect-related changes that should
make it easier to add support for named types (etc.) in the future.
See the following bug: https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42881
I think this is a bug in LLVM, but the code in question wasn't the best
code anyway. By fixing this, about 16 bytes of code are saved on ARM
chips (and much more on AVR).
This release contains a small fix for some atsamd21-based boards to make
them usable on macOS: it now allows to specify the serial port using the
-port flag.
The build broke because the images got upgraded from stretch to buster.
Specify the stretch images (for now) so that it works again.
We can upgrade to buster for go1.12 at a later time.
In particular, while LLVM lld supports -L for linker scripts imported
with the `INCLUDE` command, GNU ld does not seem to support this.
This is a prerequisite for supporting the HiFive1 board in the TinyGo
Playground.
In particular, add support for a few math intrinsics for WebAssembly,
but add a few intrinsics to other systems as well at the same time. Some
may be missing still but will be easy to add if needed.
This increases the performance of one example by 50% to 100% depending
on the browser: the bottleneck was the inefficient sqrt implementation.
This makes sure that a stack overflow will cause a "memory access out of
bounds" error instead of a corruption of a global variable.
Here is more background on a very similar stack overflow protection:
https://blog.japaric.io/stack-overflow-protection/
When the target supports it, allow the (initial) heap size to be
configured. Currently only supported in WebAssembly.
This also changes the default heap size of WebAssembly from 64kB to 1MB.
This is a useful optimization for targets with the portable garbage
collector. It isn't as big as you might guess but it does optimize
functions inside the garbage collector itself (which obviously should
not allocate). WebAssembly output in one test is about 1% smaller.
This is directly useful to avoid some unsafety around runtime.alloc and
should be useful in general.
This pragma has the same form as in the main Go compiler:
https://github.com/golang/go/issues/12312
Some instructions do not create new values, they transform existing
values in some way (bitcast, getelementptr, etc.). Do not store them in
the stack object.
This lowers the size of the repulsion demo from 100kB to 98kB (with a
baseline of 72kB for the leaking GC). That's a useful reduction in file
size.
