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.
machine/stm32, nrf: implement machine.Flash
Implements the machine.Flash interface using the same definition as the tinyfs BlockDevice.
This implementation covers the stm32f4, stm32l4, stm32wlx, nrf51, nrf52, and nrf528xx processors.
Blocking inside an interrupt is always unsafe and will lead to all kinds
of bad behavior (even if it might appear to work sometimes). So disallow
it, just like allocating heap memory inside an interrupt is not allowed.
I suspect this will usually be caused by channel sends, like this:
ch <- someValue
The easy workaround is to make it a non-blocking send instead:
select {
case ch <- someValue:
default:
}
This does mean the application might become a bit more complex to be
able to deal with this case, but the alternative (undefined behavior) is
IMHO much worse.
Add the timers test because they now work correctly on AVR, probably as
a result of the reflect refactor: https://github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/pull/2640
I've also updated a few of the other tests to indicate the new status
and why they don't work. It's no longer because of compiler errors, but
because of linker or runtime errors (which is at least some progress).
For example, I found that testdata/reflect.go works if you disable
`testAppendSlice` and increase the stack size.
It can be difficult to find what went wrong in a test. Omitting -v
should make it easier to see the failing tests and the output for them
(note that output is still printed for tests that fail).
Some vector registers must be preserved across calls, but this wasn't
happening on Linux and MacOS. When I added support for windows/arm64, I
saw that it required these vector registers to be preserved and assumed
this was Windows deviating from the standard calling convention. But
actually, Windows was just implementing the standard calling convention
and the bug was on Linux and MacOS.
This commit fixes the bug on Linux and MacOS and at the same time merges
the Go and assembly files as they no longer need to be separate.
Running binaries in QEMU (when debugging on Linux for example) did not
work correctly as qemu-user expects the `-g` flag to be first on the
command line before the program name. Putting it after will make it a
command line parameter for the emulated program, which is not what we
want.
I don't think this ever worked correctly.
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.
