So far, we've pretended to be js/wasm in baremetal targets to make the
stdlib happy. Unfortunately, this has various problems because
syscall/js (a dependency of many stdlib packages) thinks it can do JS
calls, and emulating them gets quite hard with all changes to the
syscall/js packages in Go 1.12.
This commit does a few things:
* It lets baremetal targets pretend to be linux/arm instead of
js/wasm.
* It lets the loader only select particular packages from the src
overlay, instead of inserting them just before GOROOT. This makes it
possible to pick which packages to overlay for a given target.
* It adds a baremetal-only syscall package that stubs out almost all
syscalls.
Implement two trivial uses of the select statement.
Always blocking:
select {}
No-op:
select {
default:
}
Go 1.12 added a `select {}` instruction to syscall/js, so this is needed
for Go 1.12 support. More complete support for select will be added in
the future.
This function returns the current timestamp, or 0 at compile time.
runtime.nanotime is used at package initialization by the time package
starting with Go 1.12.
This commit implements nil checks for all platforms. These nil checks
can be optimized on systems with a MMU, but since a major target is
systems without MMU, keep it this way for now.
It implements three checks:
* Nil checks before dereferencing a pointer.
* Nil checks before calculating an address (*ssa.FieldAddr and
*ssa.IndexAddr)
* Nil checks before calling a function pointer.
The first check has by far the biggest impact, with around 5% increase
in code size. The other checks only trigger in only some test cases and
have a minimal impact on code size.
This first nil check is also the one that is easiest to avoid on systems
with MMU, if necessary.
In LLVM 8, the AVR backend has moved all function pointers to address
space 1 by default. Much of the code still assumes function pointers
live in address space 0, leading to assertion failures.
This commit fixes this problem by autodetecting function pointers and
avoiding them in interface pseudo-calls.
Without this, the following code would not panic:
func getInt(i int) { return i }
make([][1<<18], getInt(1<<18))
Or this code would be allowed to compile for 32-bit systems:
make([][1<<18], 1<<18)
Previously, this would have resulted in a LLVM verification error
because runtime.sliceBoundsCheckMake would not accept 64-bit integers on
these platforms.
The math package uses routines written in Go assembly language which
LLVM/Clang cannot parse. Additionally, not all instruction sets are
supported.
Redirect all math functions written in assembly to their Go equivalent.
This is not the fastest option, but it gets packages requiring math
functions to work.
This commit makes sure all Go types can be encoded in the interface type
code, so that Type.Kind() always returns a proper type kind for any
non-nil interface.
Some instructions emitted by LLVM (like movaps) expect 16-byte
alignment, while the allocator assumed that 8-byte alignment is good
enough.
TODO: this issue came to light with LLVM optimizing a complex128 store
to the movaps instruction, which must be aligned. It looks like this
means that the <2 x double> IR type is actually 16-byte aligned instead
of 8-byte like a double. If this is the case, the alignment of complex
numbers needs to be updated in the whole compiler.
* machine/atsamd21: implement PWM interface for all pins that support it
* machine/atsamd21: correct PWM channel mapping for pin PA18
* machine/atsamd21: move clock init into InitPWM() to hopefully save power
Use stringIterator.byteindex as the loop index, and remove
stringIterator.rangeindex, as "the index of the loop is the starting
position of the current rune, measured in bytes". This patch also fixes
the current loop index returned by stringNext, using `it.byteindex'
before - not after - `length' is added.
* machine/uart: add core support for multiple UARTs by allowing for multiple RingBuffers
* machine/uart: complete core support for multiple UARTs
* machine/uart: no need to store pointer to UART, better to treat like I2C and SPI
* machine/uart: increase ring buffer size to 128 bytes
* machine/uart: improve godocs comments and use comma-ok idiom for buffer Put/Get methods
Support for channels is not complete. The following pieces are missing:
* Channels with values bigger than int. An int in TinyGo can always
contain at least a pointer, so pointers are okay to send.
* Buffered channels.
* The select statement.
Before this commit, goroutine support was spread through the compiler.
This commit changes this support, so that the compiler itself only
generates simple intrinsics and leaves the real support to a compiler
pass that runs as one of the TinyGo-specific optimization passes.
The biggest change, that was done together with the rewrite, was support
for goroutines in WebAssembly for JavaScript. The challenge in
JavaScript is that in general no blocking operations are allowed, which
means that programs that call time.Sleep() but do not start goroutines
also have to be scheduled by the scheduler.
