Enforce linux style line endings to support WSL (#1073)
* Enforce linux style line endings to support WSL

If you clone in windows, but run under WSL, the line endings cause errors. This enforces linux style line endings.

* Update .gitattributes to use text=auto

WIP Cranelift codegen backend for rust

⚠⚠⚠ Certain kinds of FFI don't work yet. ⚠⚠⚠

The goal of this project is to create an alternative codegen backend for the rust compiler based on Cranelift. This has the potential to improve compilation times in debug mode. If your project doesn't use any of the things listed under "Not yet supported", it should probably work fine. If not please open an issue.

Building

$ git clone https://github.com/bjorn3/rustc_codegen_cranelift.git
$ cd rustc_codegen_cranelift
$ ./prepare.sh # download and patch sysroot src and install hyperfine for benchmarking
$ ./test.sh --release

Usage

rustc_codegen_cranelift can be used as a near-drop-in replacement for cargo build or cargo run for existing projects.

Assuming $cg_clif_dir is the directory you cloned this repo into and you followed the instructions (prepare.sh and test.sh).

Cargo

In the directory with your project (where you can do the usual cargo build), run:

$ $cg_clif_dir/cargo.sh run

This should build and run your project with rustc_codegen_cranelift instead of the usual LLVM backend.

If you compiled cg_clif in debug mode (aka you didn't pass --release to ./test.sh) you should set CHANNEL="debug".

Rustc

You should prefer using the Cargo method.

$ rustc +$(cat $cg_clif_dir/rust-toolchain) -Cpanic=abort -Zcodegen-backend=$cg_clif_dir/target/release/librustc_codegen_cranelift.so --sysroot $cg_clif_dir/build_sysroot/sysroot my_crate.rs

Shell

These are a few functions that allow you to easily run rust code from the shell using cg_clif as jit.

function jit_naked() {
    echo "$@" | CG_CLIF_JIT=1 rustc -Zcodegen-backend=$cg_clif_dir/target/release/librustc_codegen_cranelift.so --sysroot $cg_clif_dir/build_sysroot/sysroot - -Cprefer-dynamic
}

function jit() {
    jit_naked "fn main() { $@ }"
}

function jit_calc() {
    jit 'println!("0x{:x}", ' $@ ');';
}

Env vars

CG_CLIF_JIT
Enable JIT mode to immediately run a program instead of writing an executable file.
CG_CLIF_JIT_ARGS
When JIT mode is enable pass these arguments to the program.
CG_CLIF_INCR_CACHE_DISABLED
Don't cache object files in the incremental cache. Useful during development of cg_clif to make it possible to use incremental mode for all analyses performed by rustc without caching object files when their content should have been changed by a change to cg_clif.
CG_CLIF_DISPLAY_CG_TIME
If "1", display the time it took to perform codegen for a crate

Not yet supported

  • Good non-rust abi support (several problems)
  • Inline assembly (no cranelift support
    • On Linux there is support for invoking an external assembler for global_asm! and asm!. llvm_asm! will remain unimplemented forever. asm! doesn't yet support reg classes. You have to specify specific registers instead.
  • SIMD (tracked here, some basic things work)
