This should add support for things like quotes around tags, if they are
ever needed.
Only making this change now because I happened to stumble across
buildutil.TagsFlag.
This matches the flash-command and is generally a bit easier to work
with.
This commit also prepares for allowing multiple formats to be used in
the emulator command, which is necessary for the esp32.
Switch over to LLVM 14 for static builds. Keep using LLVM 13 for regular
builds for now.
This uses a branch of the upstream Espressif branch to fix an issue,
see: https://github.com/espressif/llvm-project/pull/59
Without this patch, the include directory isn't found and picolibc.h
(used indirectly by stdint.h for example) can't be found.
I would like to add tests for this but we currently don't run Xtensa
tests. This should be possible however using https://github.com/espressif/qemu/wiki
(see also: https://github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/pull/2780).
ThinLTO optimizes across LLVM modules at link time. This means that
optimizations (such as inlining and const-propagation) are possible
between C and Go. This makes this change especially useful for CGo, but
not just for CGo. By doing some optimizations at link time, the linker
can discard some unused functions and this leads to a size reduction on
average. It does increase code size in some cases, but that's true for
most optimizations.
I've excluded a number of targets for now (wasm, avr, xtensa, windows,
macos). They can probably be supported with some more work, but that
should be done in separate PRs.
Overall, this change results in an average 3.24% size reduction over all
the tinygo.org/x/drivers smoke tests.
TODO: this commit runs part of the pass pipeline twice. We should set
the PrepareForThinLTO flag in the PassManagerBuilder for even further
reduced code size (0.7%) and improved compilation speed.
This means that it will be possible to generate a Darwin binary on any
platform (Windows, Linux, and MacOS of course), including CGo. Of
course, the resulting binaries can only run on MacOS itself.
The binary links against libSystem.dylib, which is a shared library. The
macos-minimal-sdk repository contains open source header files and
generated symbol stubs so we can generate a stub libSystem.dylib without
copying any closed source code.
This subcommand has been broken for a while, since libraries also use
the CPU flag. This commit fixes this.
Previously, libraries were usable for most Cortex-M cores. But with the
addition of the CPU field, I've limited it to three popular cores: the
Cortex-M0 (microbit), Cortex-M0+ (atsamd21), and Cortex-M4 (atsamd21,
nrf52, and many others).
In the future we might consider also building libraries for the current
OS/arch so that libraries like musl are already precompiled.
Some clang builds (e.g., Fedora's) enable unwind tables by default. As
tinygo does not need nor support them, that leads to undefined symbols
when linking.
This adds support for building with `-tags=llvm13` and switches to LLVM
13 for tinygo binaries that are statically linked against LLVM.
Some notes on this commit:
* Added `-mfloat-abi=soft` to all Cortex-M targets because otherwise
nrfx would complain that floating point was enabled on Cortex-M0.
That's not the case, but with `-mfloat-abi=soft` the `__SOFTFP__`
macro is defined which silences this warning.
See: https://reviews.llvm.org/D100372
* Changed from `--sysroot=<root>` to `-nostdlib -isystem <root>` for
musl because with Clang 13, even with `--sysroot` some system
libraries are used which we don't want.
* Changed all `-Xclang -internal-isystem -Xclang` to simply
`-isystem`, for consistency with the above change. It appears to
have the same effect.
* Moved WebAssembly function declarations to the top of the file in
task_asyncify_wasm.S because (apparently) the assembler has become
more strict.
Switching to a shared semaphore allows multi-build operations (compiler tests, package tests, etc.) to use the expected degree of parallelism efficiently.
While refactoring the job runner, the time complexity was also reduced from O(n^2) to O(n+m) (where n is the number of jobs, and m is the number of dependencies).
The extalloc collector has been broken for a while, and it doesn't seem reasonable to fix right now.
In addition, after a recent change it no longer compiles.
In the future similar functionality can hopefully be reintroduced, but for now this seems to be the most reasonable option.
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 sure that the LLVM target features match the one generated by
Clang:
- This fixes a bug introduced when setting the target CPU for all
targets: Cortex-M4 would now start using floating point operations
while they were disabled in C.
- This will make it possible in the future to inline C functions in Go
and vice versa. This will need some more work though.
There is a code size impact. Cortex-M4 targets are increased slightly in
binary size while Cortex-M0 targets tend to be reduced a little bit.
Other than that, there is little impact.
With this fix, `cflags` in the target JSON files is correctly ordered.
Previously, the cflags of a parent JSON file would come after the ones
in the child JSON file, which makes it hard to override properties in
the child JSON file.
Specifically, this fixes the case where targets/riscv32.json sets
`-march=rv32imac` and targets/esp32c3.json wants to override this using
`-march=rv32imc` but can't do this because its `-march` comes before the
riscv32.json one.
The target triples have to match mostly to be able to link LLVM modules.
Linking LLVM modules is already possible (the triples already match),
but testing becomes much easier when they match exactly.
For macOS, I picked "macosx10.12.0". That's an old and unsupported
version, but I had to pick _something_. Clang by default uses
"macos10.4.0", which is much older.
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 is really just a preparatory commit for musl support. The idea is
to store not just the archive file (.a) but also an include directory.
This is optional for picolibc but required for musl, so the main purpose
of this commit is the refactor needed for this change.
This brings a bit more consistency to libc configuration. It seems
better to me to set the header flags all in the same place, instead of
some in Go code and some in JSON target files (depending on the target).
This is for consistency with Clang, which always adds a CPU flag even if
it's not specified in CFLAGS.
This commit also adds some tests to make sure the Clang target-cpu
matches the CPU property in the JSON files.
This does have an effect on the generated binaries. The effect is very
small though: on average just 0.2% increase in binary size, apparently
because Cortex-M3 and Cortex-M4 are compiled a bit differently. However,
when rebased on top of https://github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/pull/2218
(minsize), the difference drops to -0.1% (a slight decrease on average).
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.
It is better to use environment variables (GOOS and GOARCH) for
consistency instead of providing two slightly incompatible ways. This
-target flag should only be used to specify a .json file (either
directly or in the TinyGo targets directory). Previously it was possible
to specify the LLVM target as well but that was never really fully
supported.
So:
- To specify a different OS/arch like you would in regular Go, use
GOOS and GOARCH.
- To specify a microcontroller chip or board, use the -target flag.
Also remove the old `os.Setenv` which might have had a purpose long ago
but doesn't have a purpose now.
... instead of setting a special -target= value. This is more robust and
makes sure that the test actually tests different arcitectures as they
would be compiled by TinyGo. As an example, the bug of the bugfix in the
previous commit ("arm: use armv7 instead of thumbv7") would have been
caught if this change was applied earlier.
I've decided to put GOOS/GOARCH in compileopts.Options, as it makes
sense to me to treat them the same way as command line parameters.
At the moment, thumbv7 is crashing. I'm not exactly sure why, but it
appears that there is an unknown instruction in __aeabi_uldivmod
(probably from libgcc).
I've fixed this by switching to armv7, which is also somewhat modern.
Maybe we can switch back to Thumb2 (aka thumbv7) once we start using
musl and compiler-rt. In the meantime, this does fix a miscompilation
(illegal instruction).
This commit changes a target triple like "armv6m-none-eabi" to
"armv6m-unknown-unknow-eabi". The reason is that while the former is
correctly parsed in Clang (due to normalization), it wasn't parsed
correctly in LLVM meaning that the environment wasn't set to EABI.
This change normalizes all target triples and uses the EABI environment
(-eabi in the triple) for Cortex-M targets.
This change also drops the `--target=` flag in the target JSON files,
the flag is now added implicitly in `(*compileopts.Config).CFlags()`.
This removes some duplication in target JSON files.
Unfortunately, this change also increases code size for Cortex-M
targets. It looks like LLVM now emits calls like __aeabi_memmove instead
of memmove, which pull in slightly more code (they basically just call
the regular C functions) and the calls themself don't seem to be as
efficient as they could be. Perhaps this is a LLVM bug that will be
fixed in the future, as this is a very common occurrence.
This brings some consistency to the CFlags and fixes the issue that on
some platforms (Linux, MacOS), no optimization level was set and
therefore C files in packages were not optimized at all.
