Previously the code size of the compiler-rt library might be displayed
like this:
```
1050 0 0 0 | 1050 0 | /home/ayke/src/tinygo/tinygo/llvm-project/compiler-rt/lib/builtins
146 0 0 0 | 146 0 | /home/ayke/src/tinygo/tinygo/llvm-project/compiler-rt/lib/builtins/arm
```
With this change, it is displayed nicely like this:
```
1196 0 0 0 | 1196 0 | C compiler-rt
```
This should fix a number of concurrency/threading issues.
I had to force-disable concurrency in the linker using a hack. I'm not
entirely sure what the cause is, possibly the MinGW version (version 12
appears to work for me, while version 11 as used on the GitHub runner
image seems to be broken).
There are a few ways to fix this in a better way:
* Fix the underlying cause (possibly by upgrading to MinGW-w64 12).
* Add the `--threads` flag to the LLD MinGW linker, so we can use a
regular parameter instead of this hack.
This metadata is emitted by Clang and I found it is important for source
level debugging on MacOS. This patch does not get source level debugging
to work yet (for that, it seems like packages need to be built
separately), but it is a step in the right direction.
This is a big commit that changes the way runtime type information is stored in
the binary. Instead of compressing it and storing it in a number of sidetables,
it is stored similar to how the Go compiler toolchain stores it (but still more
compactly).
This has a number of advantages:
* It is much easier to add new features to reflect support. They can simply
be added to these structs without requiring massive changes (especially in
the reflect lowering pass).
* It removes the reflect lowering pass, which was a large amount of hard to
understand and debug code.
* The reflect lowering pass also required merging all LLVM IR into one
module, which is terrible for performance especially when compiling large
amounts of code. See issue 2870 for details.
* It is (probably!) easier to reason about for the compiler.
The downside is that it increases code size a bit, especially when reflect is
involved. I hope to fix some of that in later patches.
This was actually surprising once I got TinyGo to build on Windows 11
ARM64. All the changes are exactly what you'd expect for a new
architecture, there was no special weirdness just for arm64.
Actually getting TinyGo to build was kind of involved though. The very
short summary is: install arm64 versions of some pieces of software
(like golang, cmake) instead of installing them though choco. In
particular, use the llvm-mingw[1] toolchain instead of using standard
mingw.

Before this patch, a compile error would prevent the 'ok' or 'FAIL' line
to be printed. That's unexpected. This patch changes the code in such a
way that it's obvious a test result line is printed in all cases.
To be able to also print the package name, I had to make sure the build
result is passed through everywhere even on all the failure paths. This
results in a bit of churn, but it's all relatively straightforward.
Found while working on Go 1.20.
This gets rid of the following messages:
ld.lld: warning: duplicate /export option: hypot
ld.lld: warning: duplicate /export option: nextafter
I've wanted to wait for the next release but that may take a long while,
so I've simply set the submodule to the commit that fixes this message.
- Use compiler-rt and picolibc instead of avr-libc.
- Use ld.lld instead of avr-ld (or avr-gcc).
This makes it much easier to get started with TinyGo on AVR because
installing these extra tools (gcc-avr, avr-libc) can be a hassle.
It also opens the door for future improvements such as ThinLTO.
There is a code size increase but I think it's worth it in the long run.
The code size increase can hopefully be reduced with improvements to the
LLVM AVR backend and to compiler-rt.
This flag controls whether to convert external i64 parameters for use in
a browser-like environment.
This flag was needed in the past because back then we only supported
wasm on browsers but no WASI. Now, I can't think of a reason why anybody
would want to change the default. For `-target=wasm` (used for
browser-like environments), the wasm_exec.js file expects this
i64-via-stack ABI. For WASI, there is no limitation on i64 values and
`-wasm-abi=generic` is the default.
This should hopefully fix the following issue:
DW_FORM_rnglistx index pointing outside of .debug_rnglists offset array [in module /tmp/tinygo4013272868/main]
This flag is necessary in LLVM 15 because it appears that LLVM 15 has
changed the default target ABI from lp64 to lp64d. This results in a
linker failure. Setting the "target-abi" forces the RISC-V backend to
use the intended target ABI.
The only reason a callback was used, was so that the temporary directory
gets removed once `Build` returns. But that is honestly a really bad
reason: the parent function can simply create a temporary function and
remove it when it returns. It wasn't worth the code complexity that this
callback created.
This change should not cause any observable differences in behavior (it
should be a non-functional change).
I have no reason to do this now, but this unclean code has been bugging
me and I just wanted to get it fixed.
The -x flag prints commands as they are executed. Unfortunately, for the link
command, they were printed too early: before the ThinLTO flags were added.
This is somewhat confusing while debugging.
Before, on the baremetal target or MacOS, we errored if the user
provided configuration to strip debug info.
Ex.
```bash
$ $ tinygo build -o main.go -scheduler=none --no-debug main.go
error: cannot remove debug information: MacOS doesn't store debug info in the executable by default
```
This is a poor experience which results in having OS-specific CLI
behavior. Silently succeeding is good keeping with the Linux philosophy
and less distracting than logging the same without failing.

This is really a few more-or-less separate changes:
* Remove all math aliases that were used in Go 1.16 and below (the
math.[A-Z] aliases).
* Replace math aliases with an assembly implementation (the math.arch*
aliases) with a LLVM intrinsic, where one is available.
* Include missing math functions in picolibc build.
This leaves just four math aliases:
* math.archHypot and math.archModf do not have a LLVM builtin
equivalent. They could be replaced with calls to libm, and I think
that would be a good idea in the long term.
* math.archMax and math.archMin do have a LLVM builtin equivalent
(llvm.maximum.f64, llvm.minimum.f64), but unfortunately they crash
when used. Apparently these exact operations are not yet widely
supported in hardware and they don't have a libm equivalent either.
There are more LLVM builtins that we could use for the math package
(such as FMA), but I will leave that to a future change. It could
potentially speed up some math operations.
This gives some more optimization opportunities to LLVM, because it
understands these intrinsics. For example, it might convert
llvm.sqrt.f64 to llvm.sqrt.f32 if possible.
Go 1.19 started reformatting code in a way that makes it more obvious
how it will be rendered on pkg.go.dev. It gets it almost right, but not
entirely. Therefore, I had to modify some of the comments so that they
are formatted correctly.
The MachO file format is a bit weird and doesn't store the DWARF debug
information directly in the file. Instead, it has to be looked up in the
original object file. This makes reading the DWARF debug information for
code size usage a bit more difficult. However, it works with this
change.
This adds early Go 1.19 support. There are a number of things that don't
work yet, but the smoke tests pass so it's at least working for a
significant subset of programs.
This change also switches from CircleCI convenience images to upstream
Go images. This makes it a bit easier to use the latest Go versions.
Also, the convenience images are not updated anymore.
Show the correct error message when trying to strip debug information.
Also, remove the special case for GOOS=linux that was probably dead
code: it was only reachable on baremetal systems which were already
checked before.
The transform package is the more appropriate location for package-level
optimizations, to match `transform.Optimize` for whole-program
optimizations.
This is just a refactor, to make later changes easier to read.
