Set -resource-dir in a central place instead of passing the header path
around everywhere and adding it using the `-I` flag. I believe this is
closer to how Clang is intended to be used.
This change was inspired by my attempt to add a Nix flake file to
TinyGo.
The old LLVM pass manager is deprecated and should not be used anymore.
Moreover, the pass manager builder (which we used to set up a pass
pipeline) is actually removed from LLVM entirely in LLVM 17:
https://reviews.llvm.org/D145387https://reviews.llvm.org/D145835
The new pass manager does change the binary size in many cases: both
growing and shrinking it. However, on average the binary size remains
more or less the same.
This is needed as a preparation for LLVM 17.
This is a big change: apart from removing LLVM 14 it also removes typed
pointer support (which was only fully supported in LLVM up to version
14). This removes about 200 lines of code, but more importantly removes
a ton of special cases for LLVM 14.
This usually works by chance, but leads to crashes. So we should never
ever do this.
I'm pretty sure this is the crash behind this issue: https://github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/issues/3894
It may also have caused this crash: https://github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/issues/3874
I have a suspicion this is also behind the rather crash-prone CircleCI
jobs, that we haven't been able to find the source of. But we'll find
out soon enough once this fix is merged.
To avoid hitting this issue again in the future, I've created a PR to
remove these dangerous functions altogether from the go-llvm API:
https://github.com/tinygo-org/go-llvm/pull/54
This commit adds support for LLVM 16 and switches to it by default. That
means three LLVM versions are supported at the same time: LLVM 14, 15,
and 16.
This commit includes work by QuLogic:
* Part of this work was based on a PR by QuLogic:
https://github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/pull/3649
But I also had parts of this already implemented in an old branch I
already made for LLVM 16.
* QuLogic also provided a CGo fix here, which is also incorporated in
this commit:
https://github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/pull/3869
The difference with the original PR by QuLogic is that this commit is
more complete:
* It switches to LLVM 16 by default.
* It updates some things to also make it work with a self-built LLVM.
* It fixes the CGo bug in a slightly different way, and also fixes
another one not included in the original PR.
* It does not keep compiler tests passing on older LLVM versions. I
have found this to be quite burdensome and therefore don't generally
do this - the smoke tests should hopefully catch most regressions.
This should not happen under normal circumstances. It can still happen
when there is a mismatch between TinyGo version and the associated
runtime, or while developing the compiler package.
When a function is exported using //export, but also had a
//go:wasm-module pragma, the //export name was ignored. The
//go:wasm-module doesn't actually do anything besides breaking the
export (exported functions don't have a module name).
I've refactored and cleaned up the code, and in the process removed this
weird edge case.
This replaces our own manual detection of various variables (GOROOT,
GOPATH, Go version) with a simple call to `go env`.
If the `go` command is not found:
error: could not find 'go' command: executable file not found in $PATH
If the Go version is too old:
error: requires go version 1.18 through 1.20, got go1.17
If the Go tool itself outputs an error (using GOROOT=foobar here):
go: cannot find GOROOT directory: foobar
This does break the case where `go` wasn't available in $PATH but we
would detect it anyway (via some hardcoded OS-dependent paths). I'm not
sure we want to fix that: I think it's better to tell users "make sure
`go version` prints the right value" than to do some automagic detection
of Go binary locations.
This is a small change that's not really important in itself, but it
avoids duplicate errors in a future commit that adds error messages to
//go:wasmimport.
These functions can be implemented more efficiently using LLVM
intrinsics. That makes them the Go equivalent of functions like
__builtin_clz which are also implemented using these LLVM intrinsics.
I believe the Go compiler does something very similar: IIRC it converts
calls to these functions into optimal instructions for the given
architecture.
I tested these by running `tinygo test math/bits` after uncommenting the
tests that would always fail (the *PanicZero and *PanicOverflow tests).
This gives a small improvement now, and is needed to be able to use the
Heap2Stack transform that's available in the Attributor pass. This
Heap2Stack transform could replace our custom OptimizeAllocs pass.
Most of the changes are just IR that changed, the actual change is
relatively small.
To give an example of why this is useful, here is the code size before
this change:
$ tinygo build -o test -size=short ./testdata/stdlib.go
code data bss | flash ram
95620 1812 968 | 97432 2780
$ tinygo build -o test -size=short ./testdata/stdlib.go
code data bss | flash ram
95380 1812 968 | 97192 2780
That's a 0.25% reduction. Not a whole lot, but nice for such a small
patch.
It is possible to create function-local named types:
func foo() any {
type named int
return named(0)
}
This patch makes sure they don't alias with named types declared at the
package scope.
Bug originally found by Damian Gryski while working on reflect support.
Previously we only supported recursive types in structs. But there can
be other kinds of recursive types, like slices:
type RecursiveSlice []RecursiveSlice
This doesn't involve structs, so it led to infinite recursion in the
compiler. This fix avoids recursion at the proper level: at the place
where the named type is defined.
