FreeBSD support has been broken for a long time, probably since
https://github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/pull/1860 (merged in May). Nobody
has complained yet, so I am going to assume nobody uses it.
This doesn't remove support for FreeBSD entirely: the code necessary to
build TinyGo on FreeBSD is still there. It just removes the code
necessary to build binaries targetting FreeBSD. But again, it could very
well be broken as we don't test it.
If anybody wants to re-enable support for FreeBSD, they would be welcome
to do that. But I think it would at the very least need a smoke test of
some sort.
Previously, -scheduler=none wasn't possible for WASM targets:
$ tinygo run -target=wasm -scheduler=none ./testdata/stdlib.go
src/runtime/runtime_wasm_js.go:34:2: attempted to start a goroutine without a scheduler
With this commit, it works just fine:
$ tinygo run -target=wasm -scheduler=none ./testdata/stdlib.go
stdin: /dev/stdin
stdout: /dev/stdout
stderr: /dev/stderr
pseudorandom number: 1298498081
strings.IndexByte: 2
strings.Replace: An-example-string
Supporting `-scheduler=none` has some benefits:
* it reduces file size a lot compared to having a scheduler
* it allows JavaScript to call exported functions
internal/itoa wasn't around back in go 1.12 days when tinygo's syscall/errno.go was written.
It was only added as of go 1.17 ( https://github.com/golang/go/commit/061a6903a232cb868780b )
so we have to have an internal copy for now.
The internal copy should be deleted when tinygo drops support for go 1.16.
FWIW, the new version seems nicer.
It uses no allocations when converting 0,
and although the optimizer might make this moot, uses
a multiplication x 10 instead of a mod operation.
The assembly symbols were not marked as hidden and so were exported,
leading to unreferenced symbols.
Example error message:
Error: failed to run main module `/tmp/tinygo3961039405/main`
Caused by:
0: failed to instantiate "/tmp/tinygo3961039405/main"
1: unknown import: `asyncify::stop_rewind` has not been defined
This commit fixes this issue.
This change implements a new "scheduler" for WebAssembly using binaryen's asyncify transform.
This is more reliable than the current "coroutines" transform, and works with non-Go code in the call stack.
runtime (js/wasm): handle scheduler nesting
If WASM calls into JS which calls back into WASM, it is possible for the scheduler to nest.
The event from the callback must be handled immediately, so the task cannot simply be deferred to the outer scheduler.
This creates a minimal scheduler loop which is used to handle such nesting.
The implementation has been mostly copied from the Go reference
implementation with some small changes to fit TinyGo.

In addition, this commit also contains the following:
- A set of tests copied from the Go reflect package.
- An increased stack size for the riscv-qemu and hifive1-qemu targets
(because they otherwise fail to run the tests). Because these
targets are only used for testing, this seems fine to me.
In the case where:
- Value.Index() was called on an array
- that array was bigger than a pointer
- the element type fits in a pointer
- the 'indirect' flag isn't set
the Value.Index() method would still (incorrectly) load the value.
This commit fixes that.
The next commit adds a test which would have triggered this bug so works
as a regression test.
v.Interaface() could construct an interface in interface value if v was
of type interface. This is not correct, and doesn't follow upstream Go
behavior. Instead, it should return the interface value itself.
Instead of doing everything in the interrupt lowering pass, generate
some more code in gen-device to declare interrupt handler functions and
do some work in the compiler so that interrupt lowering becomes a lot
simpler.
This has several benefits:
- Overall code is smaller, in particular the interrupt lowering pass.
- The code should be a bit less "magical" and instead a bit easier to
read. In particular, instead of having a magic
runtime.callInterruptHandler (that is fully written by the interrupt
lowering pass), the runtime calls a generated function like
device/sifive.InterruptHandler where this switch already exists in
code.
- Debug information is improved. This can be helpful during actual
debugging but is also useful for other uses of DWARF debug
information.
For an example on debug information improvement, this is what a
backtrace might look like before this commit:
Breakpoint 1, 0x00000b46 in UART0_IRQHandler ()
(gdb) bt
#0 0x00000b46 in UART0_IRQHandler ()
#1 <signal handler called>
[..etc]
Notice that the debugger doesn't see the source code location where it
has stopped.
After this commit, breaking at the same line might look like this:
Breakpoint 1, (*machine.UART).handleInterrupt (arg1=..., uart=<optimized out>) at /home/ayke/src/github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/src/machine/machine_nrf.go:200
200 uart.Receive(byte(nrf.UART0.RXD.Get()))
(gdb) bt
#0 (*machine.UART).handleInterrupt (arg1=..., uart=<optimized out>) at /home/ayke/src/github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/src/machine/machine_nrf.go:200
#1 UART0_IRQHandler () at /home/ayke/src/github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/src/device/nrf/nrf51.go:176
#2 <signal handler called>
[..etc]
By now, the debugger sees an actual source location for UART0_IRQHandler
(in the generated file) and an inlined function.
This generally means that code size is reduced, especially when the os
package is not imported.
Specifically:
- On Linux (which currently statically links musl), it avoids calling
malloc, which avoids including the musl C heap for small programs
saving around 1.6kB.
- On WASI, it avoids initializing the args slice when the os package
is not used. This reduces binary size by around 1kB.
WriteString just does the simple and and converts the passed string
to a byte-slice. This can be made zero-copy later with unsafe, if needed.
WriteAt returns ErrNotImplemented, to match Seek() and ReadAt().
Fixes#2157
This commit adds support for musl-libc and uses it by default on Linux.
The main benefit of it is that binaries are always statically linked
instead of depending on the host libc, even when using CGo.
Advantages:
- The resulting binaries are always statically linked.
- No need for any tools on the host OS, like a compiler, linker, or
libc in a release build of TinyGo.
- This also simplifies cross compilation as no cross compiler is
needed (it's all built into the TinyGo release build).
Disadvantages:
- Binary size increases by 5-6 kilobytes if -no-debug is used. Binary
size increases by a much larger margin when debugging symbols are
included (the default behavior) because musl is built with debugging
symbols enabled.
- Musl does things a bit differently than glibc, and some CGo code
might rely on the glibc behavior.
- The first build takes a bit longer because musl needs to be built.
As an additional bonus, time is now obtained from the system in a way
that fixes the Y2038 problem because musl has been a bit more agressive
in switching to 64-bit time_t.
This layout parameter is currently always nil and ignored, but will
eventually contain a pointer to a memory layout.
This commit also adds module verification to the transform tests, as I
found out that it didn't (and therefore didn't initially catch all
bugs).
This commit simplifies the IR a little bit: instead of calling
pseudo-functions runtime.interfaceImplements and
runtime.interfaceMethod, real declared functions are being called that
are then defined in the interface lowering pass. This should simplify
the interaction between various transformation passes. It also reduces
the number of lines of code, which is generally a good thing.
The division and remainder operations were lowered directly to LLVM IR.
This is wrong however because the Go specification defines exactly what
happens on a divide by zero or signed integer overflow and LLVM IR
itself treats those cases as undefined behavior. Therefore, this commit
implements divide by zero and signed integer overflow according to the
Go specification.
This does have an impact on the generated code, but it is surprisingly
small. I've used the drivers repo to test the code before and after, and
to my surprise most driver smoke tests are not changed at all. Those
that are, have only a small increase in code size. At the same time,
this change makes TinyGo more compliant to the Go specification.
This adds support for stdio in picolibc and fixes wasm_exec.js so that
it can also support C puts. With this, C stdout works on all supported
platforms.
There is no need to put these in the board files as the I2S is the same
on all Microchip SAM D21 chips. This simplifies the code and avoids some
special *_baremetal.go files.
This change does not change the resulting binaries.
This has practically no effect on the resulting binaries, the only
difference I could find was for the flash/console/spi driver example.
I'm not sure how to test that one, but I think it's very unlikely that
code will have changed in any meaningful way (apart from reordering some
globals).
This commit changes the I2C declarations so that the objects are
instantiated in each chip file (e.g. machine_atsamd21e18.go) and used to
define I2C0 (and similar) in the board file (e.g. board_qtpy.go). This
should make it easier to define new board files, and reduces the need
for separate *_baremetal.go files.
I have tested this the following way:
- With the LIS3DH driver example on the Circuit Playground Express and
the PyBadge.
- With the LSM6DS3 driver example on the Arduino Nano 33 IoT.
They both still work fine.
Instead of defining them separately for each board, define them once in
the chip definition and later simply use &sercomUART1 etc. to refer to
them. This is simpler and less error-prone.
I found two bugs while working on this:
- The P1AM-100 board mixed SERCOM 5 and SERCOM 3. It looks like SERCOM
5 was intended, based on the used pins.
- The Adafruit Matrix Portal appears to have configured the wrong
interrupt.
Unfortunately, I can't test these fixes. However, they make it clear
that such a change is important to avoid bugs.
I tested this commit on the PyBadge and the Circuit Playground Express.
This chip can run so much faster! Let's update the default frequency.
Also, change the UART implementation to be more fexible regarding the
clock frequency.
