- Add a changelog and instructions for updating it
- Use `changelog-seen` in `config.toml` and `VERSION` in bootstrap to determine whether the changelog has been read
- Nag people if they haven't read the x.py changelog
+ Print message twice to make sure it's seen
- Give different error messages depending on whether the version needs to be updated or added
- Reflect changes in x.py defaults
- Remove recommendation to use nightly for incremental; it works fine on
beta
- Remove note that incremental chooses stage 1 by default; stage 1 is
already the default
- Update Discord -> Zulip
Making it consistent across the board, as most of them already use `$`.
Also split one continues bash run into two, to make it easier see
different runs: one with warning and another with error.
This commit rewrites our ancient `./configure` script from shell into Python.
The impetus for this change is to remove `config.mk` which is just a vestige of
the old makefile build system at this point. Instead all configuration is now
solely done through `config.toml`.
The python script allows us to more flexibly program (aka we can use loops
easily) and create a `config.toml` which is based off `config.toml.example`.
This way we can preserve comments and munge various values as we see fit.
It is intended that the configure script here is a drop-in replacement for the
previous configure script, no functional change is intended. Also note that the
rationale for this is also because our build system requires Python, so having a
python script a bit earlier shouldn't cause too many problems.
Closes#40730
As we continue to add more crates to the compiler and use them to implement
various features we want to be sure we're not accidentally expanding the API
surface area of the compiler! To that end this commit adds a new `run-make` test
which will attempt to `extern crate foo` all crates in the sysroot, verifying
that they're all unstable.
This commit discovered that the `std_shim` and `test_shim` crates were
accidentally stable and fixes the situation by deleting those shims. The shims
are no longer necessary due to changes in Cargo that have happened since they
were originally incepted.
rustbuild: Add cli option --keep-stage
This option is intended to be used like:
./x.py build --stage 1 --keep-stage 0
Which skips all stage 0 steps, so that stage 1 can be recompiled
directly (even if for example libcore has changes).
This is useful when working on `cfg(not(stage0))` parts of the
libraries or when re-running stage 1 tests in libraries in general.
Fixes#38326
This commit switches the default build system for Rust from the makefiles to
rustbuild. The rustbuild build system has been in development for almost a year
now and has become quite mature over time. This commit is an implementation of
the proposal on [internals] which slates deletion of the makefiles on
2016-01-02.
[internals]: https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/proposal-for-promoting-rustbuild-to-official-status/4368
This commit also updates various documentation in `README.md`,
`CONTRIBUTING.md`, `src/bootstrap/README.md`, and throughout the source code of
rustbuild itself.
Closes#37858
This commit is a rewrite of the user-facing interface to the rustbuild build
system. The intention here is to make it much easier to compile/test the project
without having to remember weird rule names and such. An overall view of the new
interface is:
# build everything
./x.py build
# document everyting
./x.py doc
# test everything
./x.py test
# test libstd
./x.py test src/libstd
# build libcore stage0
./x.py build src/libcore --stage 0
# run stage1 run-pass tests
./x.py test src/test/run-pass --stage 1
The `src/bootstrap/bootstrap.py` script is now aliased as a top-level `x.py`
script. This `x` was chosen to be both short and easily tab-completable (no
collisions in that namespace!). The build system now accepts a "subcommand" of
what to do next, the main ones being build/doc/test.
Each subcommand then receives an optional list of arguments. These arguments are
paths in the source repo of what to work with. That is, if you want to test a
directory, you just pass that directory as an argument.
The purpose of this rewrite is to do away with all of the arcane renames like
"rpass" is the "run-pass" suite, "cfail" is the "compile-fail" suite, etc. By
simply working with directories and files it's much more intuitive of how to run
a test (just pass it as an argument).
The rustbuild step/dependency management was also rewritten along the way to
make this easy to work with and define, but that's largely just a refactoring of
what was there before.
The *intention* is that this support is extended for arbitrary files (e.g.
`src/test/run-pass/my-test-case.rs`), but that isn't quite implemented just yet.
Instead directories work for now but we can follow up with stricter path
filtering logic to plumb through all the arguments.
This commit expands the bootstrap build system's `README.md` as well as ensuring
that all API documentation is present and up-to-date. Additionally a new
`config.toml.example` file is checked in with commented out versions of all
possible configuration values.
This commit is the start of a series of commits which start to replace the
makefiles with a Cargo-based build system. The aim is not to remove the
makefiles entirely just yet but rather just replace the portions that invoke the
compiler to do the bootstrap. This commit specifically adds enough support to
perform the bootstrap (and all the cross compilation within) along with
generating documentation.
More commits will follow up in this series to actually wire up the makefiles to
call this build system, so stay tuned!
