This commit adds the entry `"fma\0"` to the whitelist for the x86
target. LLVM already supports fma but rustc did not directly. Previously
rustc permitted `+fma` in the target-feature argument and enabled the use
of FMA instructions, but it did not list it in the configuration and
attributes.
fixes#40406
This commit adds a new attribute that instructs the compiler to emit
target specific code for a single function. For example, the following
function is permitted to use instructions that are part of SSE 4.2:
#[target_feature = "+sse4.2"]
fn foo() { ... }
In particular, use of this attribute does not require setting the
-C target-feature or -C target-cpu options on rustc.
This attribute does not have any protections built into it. For example,
nothing stops one from calling the above `foo` function on hosts without
SSE 4.2 support. Doing so may result in a SIGILL.
This commit also expands the target feature whitelist to include lzcnt,
popcnt and sse4a. Namely, lzcnt and popcnt have their own CPUID bits,
but were introduced with SSE4.
This commit is an implementation of [RFC 1721] which adds a new target feature
to the compiler, `crt-static`, which can be used to select how the C runtime for
a target is linked. Most targets dynamically linke the C runtime by default with
the notable exception of some of the musl targets.
[RFC 1721]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/1721-crt-static.md
This commit first adds the new target-feature, `crt-static`. If enabled, then
the `cfg(target_feature = "crt-static")` will be available. Targets like musl
will have this enabled by default. This feature can be controlled through the
standard target-feature interface, `-C target-feature=+crt-static` or
`-C target-feature=-crt-static`.
Next this adds an gated and unstable `#[link(cfg(..))]` feature to enable the
`crt-static` semantics we want with libc. The exact behavior of this attribute
is a little squishy, but it's intended to be a forever-unstable
implementation detail of the liblibc crate.
Specifically the `#[link(cfg(..))]` annotation means that the `#[link]`
directive is only active in a compilation unit if that `cfg` value is satisfied.
For example when compiling an rlib, these directives are just encoded and
ignored for dylibs, and all staticlibs are continued to be put into the rlib as
usual. When placing that rlib into a staticlib, executable, or dylib, however,
the `cfg` is evaluated *as if it were defined in the final artifact* and the
library is decided to be linked or not.
Essentially, what'll happen is:
* On MSVC with `-C target-feature=-crt-static`, the `msvcrt.lib` library will be
linked to.
* On MSVC with `-C target-feature=+crt-static`, the `libcmt.lib` library will be
linked to.
* On musl with `-C target-feature=-crt-static`, the object files in liblibc.rlib
are removed and `-lc` is passed instead.
* On musl with `-C target-feature=+crt-static`, the object files in liblibc.rlib
are used and `-lc` is not passed.
This commit does **not** include an update to the liblibc module to implement
these changes. I plan to do that just after the 1.14.0 beta release is cut to
ensure we get ample time to test this feature.
cc #37406
Assert that the feature strings are NUL terminated, so that they will
be well-formed as C strings.
This is a safety check to ease the maintaninace and update of the
feature lists.
The different generations of ARM floating point VFP correspond to the
LLVM CPU features named `vfp2`, `vfp3`, and `vfp4`; they are now
exposed in Rust under the same names.
This commit fixes some crashes that would occour when checking if the
`vfp` feature exists (the crash occurs because the linear scan of the
LLVM feature goes past the end of the features whenever it searches
for a feature that does not exist in the LLVM tables).
