* Update bootstrap compiler
* Update version to 1.33.0
* Remove some `#[cfg(stage0)]` annotations
Actually updating the version number is blocked on updating Cargo
Ever since we added a Cargo-based build system for the compiler the
standard library has always been a little special, it's never been able
to depend on crates.io crates for runtime dependencies. This has been a
result of various limitations, namely that Cargo doesn't understand that
crates from crates.io depend on libcore, so Cargo tries to build crates
before libcore is finished.
I had an idea this afternoon, however, which lifts the strategy
from #52919 to directly depend on crates.io crates from the standard
library. After all is said and done this removes a whopping three
submodules that we need to manage!
The basic idea here is that for any crate `std` depends on it adds an
*optional* dependency on an empty crate on crates.io, in this case named
`rustc-std-workspace-core`. This crate is overridden via `[patch]` in
this repository to point to a local crate we write, and *that* has a
`path` dependency on libcore.
Note that all `no_std` crates also depend on `compiler_builtins`, but if
we're not using submodules we can publish `compiler_builtins` to
crates.io and all crates can depend on it anyway! The basic strategy
then looks like:
* The standard library (or some transitive dep) decides to depend on a
crate `foo`.
* The standard library adds
```toml
[dependencies]
foo = { version = "0.1", features = ['rustc-dep-of-std'] }
```
* The crate `foo` has an optional dependency on `rustc-std-workspace-core`
* The crate `foo` has an optional dependency on `compiler_builtins`
* The crate `foo` has a feature `rustc-dep-of-std` which activates these
crates and any other necessary infrastructure in the crate.
A sample commit for `dlmalloc` [turns out to be quite simple][commit].
After that all `no_std` crates should largely build "as is" and still be
publishable on crates.io! Notably they should be able to continue to use
stable Rust if necessary, since the `rename-dependency` feature of Cargo
is soon stabilizing.
As a proof of concept, this commit removes the `dlmalloc`,
`libcompiler_builtins`, and `libc` submodules from this repository. Long
thorns in our side these are now gone for good and we can directly
depend on crates.io! It's hoped that in the long term we can bring in
other crates as necessary, but for now this is largely intended to
simply make it easier to manage these crates and remove submodules.
This should be a transparent non-breaking change for all users, but one
possible stickler is that this almost for sure breaks out-of-tree
`std`-building tools like `xargo` and `cargo-xbuild`. I think it should
be relatively easy to get them working, however, as all that's needed is
an entry in the `[patch]` section used to build the standard library.
Hopefully we can work with these tools to solve this problem!
[commit]: 28ee12db81
beta was switched to bootstrap from stable 1.29.2 since 1.29.2 got the aliasing bug workaround.
For extra sanity we should probably bootstrap from a beta that was built with these fixed appied in the host compiler.
* Bump the release version to 1.25
* Bump the bootstrap compiler to the recent beta
* Allow using unstable rustdoc features on beta - this fix has been applied to
the beta branch but needed to go to the master branch as well.
We've got a freshly minted beta compiler, let's update to use that on nightly!
This has a few other changes associated with it as well
* A bump to the rustc version number (to 1.19.0)
* Movement of the `cargo` and `rls` submodules to their "proper" location in
`src/tools/{cargo,rls}`. Now that Cargo workspaces support the `exclude`
option this can work.
* Updates of the `cargo` and `rls` submodules to their master branches.
* Tweak to the `src/stage0.txt` format to be more amenable for Cargo version
numbers. On the beta channel Cargo will bootstrap from a different version
than rustc (e.g. the version numbers are different), so we need different
configuration for this.
* Addition of `dev` as a readable key in the `src/stage0.txt` format. If present
then stage0 compilers are downloaded from `dev-static.rust-lang.org` instead
of `static.rust-lang.org`. This is added to accomodate our updated release
process with Travis and AppVeyor.
There was a serious ARM codegen bug in LLVM that was fixed by #40779,
also backported to beta. This updates stage0 to 1.17.0-beta.3 to pick
up that change, so ARM can bootstrap natively again.
Fixes#41291

Now that we've also updated cargo's release process this commit also changes the
download location of Cargo from Cargos archives back to the static.r-l.o
archives. This should ensure that the Cargo download is the exact Cargo paired
with the rustc that we release.
The original motivation for hard links was to speed up the various stages of
rustbuild, but in the end this is causing problems on Windows (#39504).
This commit tweaks the build system to use copies instead of hard links
unconditionally to ensure that the files accessed by Windows are always
disjoint.
Locally this added .3s to a noop build, so it shouldn't be too much of a
regression hopefully!
This commit updates the version number to 1.17.0 as we're not on that version of
the nightly compiler, and at the same time this updates src/stage0.txt to
bootstrap from freshly minted beta compiler and beta Cargo.
I updated the beta compiler used to bootstrap the master branch in #38438 with
the intention of fixing Travis OSX linkage issues but I mistakenly forgot that
the PR only updated rustc, not Cargo itself. Cargo has a new release process
with downloads in a different location, so this commit updates rustbuild to
download from this new location by tracking revisions instead of Cargo nightly
dates.
The current beta that rustc is bootstrapping from contains a bug in Cargo that
erroneously links to OpenSSL in /usr/local, but this is fixed in the most recent
1.14 beta, so let's use that.
This will make it easier for packagers to bootstrap rustc when they happen
to have a bootstrap compiler with a slightly different version number.
It's not ok for anything other than the build system to set this environment variable.
This commit removes all infrastructure from the repository for our so-called
snapshots to instead bootstrap the compiler from stable releases. Bootstrapping
from a previously stable release is a long-desired feature of distros because
they're not fans of downloading binary stage0 blobs from us. Additionally, this
makes our own CI easier as we can decommission all of the snapshot builders and
start having a regular cadence to when we update the stage0 compiler.
A new `src/etc/get-stage0.py` script was added which shares some code with
`src/bootstrap/bootstrap.py` to read a new file, `src/stage0.txt`, which lists
the current stage0 compiler as well as cargo that we bootstrap from. This script
will download the relevant `rustc` package an unpack it into `$target/stage0` as
we do today.
One problem of bootstrapping from stable releases is that we're not able to
compile unstable code (e.g. all the `#![feature]` directives in libcore/libstd).
To overcome this we employ two strategies:
* The bootstrap key of the previous compiler is hardcoded into `src/stage0.txt`
(enabled as a result of #32731) and exported by the build system. This enables
nightly features in the compiler we download.
* The standard library and compiler are pinned to a specific stage0, which
doesn't change, so we're guaranteed that we'll continue compiling as we start
from a known fixed source.
The process for making a release will also need to be tweaked now to continue to
cadence of bootstrapping from the previous release. This process looks like:
1. Merge `beta` to `stable`
2. Produce a new stable compiler.
3. Change `master` to bootstrap from this new stable compiler.
4. Merge `master` to `beta`
5. Produce a new beta compiler
6. Change `master` to bootstrap from this new beta compiler.
Step 3 above should involve very few changes as `master` was previously
bootstrapping from `beta` which is the same as `stable` at that point in time.
Step 6, however, is where we benefit from removing lots of `#[cfg(stage0)]` and
get to use new features. This also shouldn't slow the release too much as steps
1-5 requires little work other than waiting and step 6 just needs to happen at
some point during a release cycle, it's not time sensitive.
