The default on MacOS is `md5`, while Nix only has `md5sum` available.
Therefore, make it possible to override the variable via the environment
so that flake.nix can set the correct binary name.
Hopefully this won't break anybody: while all tests still pass, there
could in theory be systems where not supplying those libraries leads to
linker errors.
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 allows us to test and use LLVM 17, now that it is available in
Homebrew.
Full support for LLVM 17 (including using it by default) will have to
wait until Espressif rebases their Xtensa fork of LLVM.
These parts aren't critical and lead to crashes on small chips without
long jumps (like the attiny85) with LLVM 17. (Older LLVM versions would
emit long jumps regardless, even if the chip didn't support those).

This happens with `tinygo test` for example when testing multiple
packages at the same time. I found this because the compiler crashed in
`make tinygo-test-fast`:

My solution is essentially to copy the map over instead of modifying it
directly.
I've also moved the code up a little, because I think that's a more
sensible place (out of the way of the whole package compile logic).
Previously all (except one!) usage of goenv.Version manually added the
git sha1 hash, leading to duplicate code. I've moved this to do it all
in one place, to avoid this duplication.
The old LLVM pass manager is deprecated and should not be used anymore.
Moreover, the pass manager builder (which we used to set up a pass
pipeline) is actually removed from LLVM entirely in LLVM 17:
https://reviews.llvm.org/D145387https://reviews.llvm.org/D145835
The new pass manager does change the binary size in many cases: both
growing and shrinking it. However, on average the binary size remains
more or less the same.
This is needed as a preparation for LLVM 17.
This is a big change: apart from removing LLVM 14 it also removes typed
pointer support (which was only fully supported in LLVM up to version
14). This removes about 200 lines of code, but more importantly removes
a ton of special cases for LLVM 14.
Prior to this commit, the build instructions were encoded in Makefiles
that contained GNU extensions that are unique to GNU Make and
incompatible with older implementations.
Thie commit renames all Makefiles to GNUmakefile which clearly denotes
that the file contains GNU extensions.
GNU Make actually first looks for a GNUmakefile, then makefile, THEN
Makefile so in addition to simply being more correct and portable, it
saves a few unnecessary failed attempts to open the correct build
file.
Prior to this commit, our Makefiles assumed the name of the make program
was simply "make".
Since we use GNU make extensions, this isn't always the case --
operating systems like FreeBSD come with their own implementation named
make which can be incompatible with the extensions used in by tinygo.
To run a compatible make on some of these systems, we have explicitly
call GNU make by running gmake.
This commit changes references to the command "make" to "$(MAKE)" which
is a variable that contains the name of the executable invoked to
process the Makefile.
This allow the Makefiles to be uniformly processed by the same make
program.
This fixes https://github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/issues/3926.
While working on this I've found another bug: if C.bool is referenced
from within Go, it isn't available anymore on the C side. This is an
existing bug that also applies to float and double, but may be less
likely to be triggered there.
This bug is something to be fixed at a later time (it has something to
do with preprocessor defines).
Previously, this pass would convert any read-only use of a
runtime.stringToBytes call to use the original string buffer instead.
This is incorrect: if there are any writes to the resulting buffer, none
of the slice buffer pointers can be converted to use the original
read-only string buffer.
This commit fixes that bug and adds a test to prove the new (correct)
behavior.
The old traceback would look like this:
# internal/godebug
/usr/local/go/src/internal/godebug/godebug.go:101:11: interp: test
call <2> 0 <3> 0
traceback:
/usr/local/go/src/internal/godebug/godebug.go:101:11:
call <2> 0 <3> 0
/usr/local/go/src/internal/godebug:
call <1> 0
With this patch, it looks like this:
# io/fs
/usr/local/go/src/io/fs/fs.go:144:45: interp: test
%0 = load %runtime._interface, ptr @"internal/oserror.ErrInvalid", align 8, !dbg !316

/usr/local/go/src/io/fs/fs.go:144:45:

%0 = call %runtime._interface @"io/fs.errInvalid"(ptr undef), !dbg !317
For developers (like me) who are familiar with LLVM, this is probably
easier to read. For users, I'm not sure: the instructions have quite a
lot of distracting fluff in them. But at least it contains the function
names that are called (which are not currently present in the old
traceback).
...that said, having the LLVM instructions in a bug report is probably
going to be easier for people who are familar with LLVM.
This is a small release just in time for GopherCon US.
Some of the big changes of this release are:
- switch to LLVM 16
- fixes for two separate hard-to-reproduce compiler crashes
- added support for the Adafruit Gemma M0
This usually works by chance, but leads to crashes. So we should never
ever do this.
I'm pretty sure this is the crash behind this issue: https://github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/issues/3894
It may also have caused this crash: https://github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/issues/3874
I have a suspicion this is also behind the rather crash-prone CircleCI
jobs, that we haven't been able to find the source of. But we'll find
out soon enough once this fix is merged.
To avoid hitting this issue again in the future, I've created a PR to
remove these dangerous functions altogether from the go-llvm API:
https://github.com/tinygo-org/go-llvm/pull/54
This commit adds support for LLVM 16 and switches to it by default. That
means three LLVM versions are supported at the same time: LLVM 14, 15,
and 16.
This commit includes work by QuLogic:
* Part of this work was based on a PR by QuLogic:
https://github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/pull/3649
But I also had parts of this already implemented in an old branch I
already made for LLVM 16.
* QuLogic also provided a CGo fix here, which is also incorporated in
this commit:
https://github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/pull/3869
The difference with the original PR by QuLogic is that this commit is
more complete:
* It switches to LLVM 16 by default.
* It updates some things to also make it work with a self-built LLVM.
* It fixes the CGo bug in a slightly different way, and also fixes
another one not included in the original PR.
* It does not keep compiler tests passing on older LLVM versions. I
have found this to be quite burdensome and therefore don't generally
do this - the smoke tests should hopefully catch most regressions.
This was bug https://github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/issues/3890.
See the diff for details. Essentially, it means that `copy` in the
interpreter was copying data that wasn't known yet, or copying data into
a slice that could be read externally after the interp pass.
