I mostly tried to remain backwards compatible with old invocations of
the `configure` script; if you do not want to use `CC` et al., you
should not have to; you can keep using `--enable-clang` and/or
`--enable-ccache`.
The overall intention is to capture the following precedences for
guessing the C compiler:
1. Value of `CC` at make invocation time.
2. Value of `CC` at configure invocation time.
3. Compiler inferred at configure invocation time (`gcc` or `clang`).
The strategy is to check (at `configure` time) if each of the
environment variables is set, and if so, save its value in a
corresponding `CFG_` variable (e.g. `CFG_CC`).
Then, in the makefiles, if `CC` is not set but `CFG_CC` is, then we
use the `CFG_CC` setting as `CC`.
Also, I fold the potential user-provided `CFLAGS` and `CXXFLAGS`
values into all of the per-platform `CFLAGS` and `CXXFLAGS` settings.
(This was opposed to adding `$(CFLAGS)` in an ad-hoc manner to various
parts of the mk files.)
Fix#13805.
----
Note that if you try to set the compiler to clang via the `CC` and
`CXX` environment variables, you will probably need to also set
`CXXFLAGS` to `--enable-libcpp` so that LLVM will be configured
properly.
----
Introduce CFG_USING_CLANG, which is distinguished from
CFG_ENABLE_CLANG because the former represents "we think we're using
clang, choose appropriate warning-control options" while the latter
represents "we asked configure (or the host required) that we attempt
to use clang, so check that we have an appropriate version of clang."
The main reason I added this is that I wanted to allow the user to
choose clang via setting the `CC` environment variable, but I did not
want that method of selection to get confused with the user passing
the `--enable-clang` option.
----
A digression: The `configure` script does not infer the compiler
setting if `CC` is set; but if `--enable-clang` was passed, then it
*does* still attempt to validate that the clang version is compatible.
Supporting this required revising `CLANG_VERSION` check to be robust
in face of user-provided `CC` value.
In particular, on Travis, the `CC` is set to `gcc` and so the natural
thing to do is to attempt to use `gcc` as the compiler, but Travis is
also passing `--enable-clang` to configure. So, what is the right
answer in the face of these contradictory requests?
One approach would be to have `--enable-clang` supersede the setting
for `CC` (and instead just call whatever we inferred for `CFG_CLANG`).
That sounds maximally inflexible to me (pnkfelix): a developer
requesting a `CC` value probably wants it respected, and should be
able to set it to something else; it is harder for that developer to
hack our configure script to change its inferred path to clang.
A second approach would be to blindly use the `CC` value but keep
going through the clang version check when `--enable-clang` is turned
on. But on Travis (a Linux host), the `gcc` invocation won't print a
clang version, so we would not get past the CLANG_VERSION check in
that context.
A third approach would be to never run the CLANG_VERSION check if `CC`
is explicitly set. That is not a terrible idea; but if the user uses
`CC` to pass in a path to some other version of clang that they want
to test, probably should still send that through the `CLANG_VERSION`
check.
So in the end I (pnkfelix) took a fourth approach: do the
CLANG_VERSION check if `CC` is unset *or* if `CC` is set to a string
ending with `clang`. This way setting `CC` to things like
`path/to/clang` or `ccache clang` will still go through the
CLANG_VERSION check, while setting `CC` to `gcc` or some unknown
compiler will skip the CLANG_VERSION check (regardless of whether the
user passed --enable-clang to `configure`).
----
Drive-by fixes:
* The call that sets `CFG_CLANG_VERSION` was quoting `"$CFG_CC"` in
its invocation, but that does not play nicely with someone who sets
`$CFG_CC` to e.g. `ccache clang`, since you do not want to intepret
that whole string as a command.
(On the other hand, a path with spaces might need the quoted
invocation. Not sure which one of these corner use-cases is more
important to support.)
* Fix chk_cc error message to point user at `gcc` not `cc`.
There's no need to include this specific flag just for android. We can
already deal with what it tries to solve by using -C linker=/path/to/cc
and -C ar=/path/to/ar. The Makefiles for rustc already set this up when
we're crosscompiling.
I did add the flag to compiletest though so it can find gdb. Though, I'm
pretty sure we don't run debuginfo tests on android anyways right now.
[breaking-change]
Instead of passing through CC which may have things like ccache and other
arguments (when using clang) this commit filters out the necessary arguments
from CC to pass the right linker to rustc.
Closes#13562
Includes an upstream commit by pcwalton to improve codegen of our enums getting
moved around.
This also introduces a new commit on top of our stack of patches to fix a mingw32 build issue. I have submitted the patch upstream: http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvm-commits/Week-of-Mon-20140210/204653.html
I verified that this builds on the try bots, which amazes me because I think that c++11 is turned on now, but I guess we're still lucky!
Closes#10613 (pcwalton's patch landed)
Closes#11992 (llvm has removed these options)
This commit implements the support necessary for generating both intermediate
and result static rust libraries. This is an implementation of my thoughts in
https://mail.mozilla.org/pipermail/rust-dev/2013-November/006686.html.
When compiling a library, we still retain the "lib" option, although now there
are "rlib", "staticlib", and "dylib" as options for crate_type (and these are
stackable). The idea of "lib" is to generate the "compiler default" instead of
having too choose (although all are interchangeable). For now I have left the
"complier default" to be a dynamic library for size reasons.
Of the rust libraries, lib{std,extra,rustuv} will bootstrap with an
rlib/dylib pair, but lib{rustc,syntax,rustdoc,rustpkg} will only be built as a
dynamic object. I chose this for size reasons, but also because you're probably
not going to be embedding the rustc compiler anywhere any time soon.
Other than the options outlined above, there are a few defaults/preferences that
are now opinionated in the compiler:
* If both a .dylib and .rlib are found for a rust library, the compiler will
prefer the .rlib variant. This is overridable via the -Z prefer-dynamic option
* If generating a "lib", the compiler will generate a dynamic library. This is
overridable by explicitly saying what flavor you'd like (rlib, staticlib,
dylib).
* If no options are passed to the command line, and no crate_type is found in
the destination crate, then an executable is generated
With this change, you can successfully build a rust program with 0 dynamic
dependencies on rust libraries. There is still a dynamic dependency on
librustrt, but I plan on removing that in a subsequent commit.
This change includes no tests just yet. Our current testing
infrastructure/harnesses aren't very amenable to doing flavorful things with
linking, so I'm planning on adding a new mode of testing which I believe belongs
as a separate commit.
Closes#552
Explicitly have the only C++ portion of the runtime be one file with exception
handling. All other runtime files must now live in C and be fully defined in C.
- remove /usr/include from the include path since the iOS SDK provides the correct version
- `_NSGetEnviron()` is private and not available on iOS
- `.align` without an argument is not allowed with the Apple tools. 2^2 should be the default alignment
- ignore error messages for XCode < 5
- pass include path to libuv
OS X 10.9's linker has a bug that results in it failing to preserve
DWARF unwind information when passed the -no_compact_unwind flag.
This flag is passed on OS X because the unwind information for
__morestack cannot be represented by the compact unwind format.
We can work around this problem by using a more targeted approach
to disabling compact unwind information. The OS X linker looks for
a particular pattern in the DWARF unwind information and will not
attempt to convert the unwind information to the compact format.
The pattern in question is the return address register being saved
twice to the same location.
Fixes#6849.
This commit resumes management of the stack boundaries and limits when switching
between tasks. This additionally leverages the __morestack function to run code
on "stack overflow". The current behavior is to abort the process, but this is
probably not the best behavior in the long term (for deails, see the comment I
wrote up in the stack exhaustion routine).
This change adds -Z soft-float option for generating
software floating point library calls.
It also implies using soft float ABI, that is the same as llc.
It is useful for targets that have no FPU.
This patch fixes some errors of MIPS target, however, MIPS C ABI is still broken. I will send another PR to fix the problem.
Because MIPS target has no "generic" CPU name, I add --target-cpu and --target-feature to RUST_FLAGS. In order to workaround the "compact frame descriptions incompatible with DWARF2 .eh_frame" problem, the linker I used is CXX but not CC.
This works by adding this directory to GCC include search path before mingw system headers directories,
so we can intercept their inclusions and add missing definitions without having to modify files in mingw/include.
We currently have no need for the frame pointers on any platform. They
may eventually be needed on platforms without an equivalent to the DWARF
call frame information to walk the stack in the garbage collector.
Closes#7477
It uses the private field of TCB head to store stack limit. I tested on my Raspberry PI. A simple hello world program ran without any problem. However, for a more complex program, it segfaulted as #6231.
