When TinyGo is installed using `go install` or `go build`, it uses the
Clang resource directory from the host. This works for Linux, but
doesn't work anymore on macOS with a recent change I made.
This re-adds support for Darwin in that case (with much, much simpler
code than there used to be).
This adds a flake.nix file that makes it possible to quickly create a
development environment.
You can download Nix here, for use on your Linux or macOS system:
https://nixos.org/download.html
After you have installed Nix, you can enter the development environment
as follows:
nix develop
This drops you into a bash shell, where you can install TinyGo simply
using the following command:
go install
That's all! Assuming you've set up your $PATH correctly, you can now use
the tinygo command as usual:
tinygo version
You can also do many other things from this environment. Building and
flashing should work as you're used to: it's not a VM or container so
there are no access restrictions.
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.
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 environment variable can be set to 5, 6, or 7 and controls which
ARM version (ARMv5, ARMv6, ARMv7) is used when compiling for GOARCH=arm.
I have picked the default value ARMv6, which I believe is supported on
most common single board computers including all Raspberry Pis. The
difference in code size is pretty big.
We could even go further and support ARMv4 if anybody is interested. It
should be pretty simple to add this if needed.
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.
This makes it possible to query these environment variables from
anywhere, which might be useful. More importantly, it puts them in a
central location from where they can be queried, useful for a `go env`
subcommand.
