This commit also adds a bit of version independence, in particular for
external commands. It also adds the LLVM version to the `tinygo version`
command, which might help while debugging.
This fixes an error like the following:
E: The method driver /usr/lib/apt/methods/https could not be found.
N: Is the package apt-transport-https installed?
Apparently apt.llvm.org has been switched over to HTTPS. One solution
could be to install apt-transport-https, but another (easier) solution
is to switch to a newer container.
Note: I did not switch the other containers, to make sure TinyGo is
still built with an older Debian release. That ensures the resulting
binaries are relatively portable across distros, even relatively old
distros.
This makes the `make wasi-libc` command much more reliable and makes the
CI configuration simpler. Also, it avoids warnings when they are not
relevant.
This allows CGo code to call some libc functions. Additionally, by
putting memset/memmove/memcpy in an archive they're not included anymore
when not necessary, reducing code size for small programs.
Use the cross compiling toolchains for compiling/linking. This fixes CGo
support, and therefore allows CGo to be used when cross compiling to
Linux on a different architecture.
This commit also removes some redundant testing code.
This should make it more maintainable. Another big advantage that
generation time (including gofmt) is now 3 times faster. No real attempt
at refactoring has been made, that will need to be done at a later time.
Now that we use LLVM 9, RISC-V support in LLVM has far fewer bugs and we
can avoid the GNU toolchain.
* replace GNU linker with lld
* replace GCC with clang
Additionally, RISC-V was promoted to stable so it can be enabled by
default in CI.
Also add unit tests.
This is the first of several transformation (optimization/lowering)
passes that I'd like to move to the new transform package. This
separates the compiler from the optimizer.
Also, it finally adds unit tests for the compiler, not just end-to-end
compilation tests. This should improve robustness and should make it
easier to change these transformation passes in the future.
While the heap-to-stack transform is relatively simple, other passes are
much more complex. Adding unit tests not only helps robustness over
time, but also doubles as documentation as to what these transformation
passes do exactly.
The build broke because the images got upgraded from stretch to buster.
Specify the stretch images (for now) so that it works again.
We can upgrade to buster for go1.12 at a later time.
These two dependencies are optional but enabled by default when
available. Disable them in the Makefile so that the tinygo binary is
portable to systems that don't have them or have a different version
(for example, Arch has a newer version of libcurses and thus libtinfo).
Adds another example showing the simple case
of executing main, adds a README explaining how
everything fits together and how to execute the compiled
code in the browser. Include a minimal webserver for
local testing.
This replaces the older way which just does the following:
go install .
and
go test -v .
Instead, `make` and `make test` will now build TinyGo statically linked
against LLVM, so that `go install` and `go test -v` should be used
manually.
The ar file format is pretty simple and can be implemented by using a Go
library. Use that instead of calling out to llvm-ar.
There are a few limitations to the used package, but that doesn't seem
to matter for our use case (linking compiler-rt for use with ld.lld):
* no index is created
* long filenames are truncated
* no support for archives bigger than 4GB
This provides several advantages. Among others:
* Much faster and hopefully more reliable.
* Good caching support to store LLVM builds.
* Building and testing of release-ready artifacts.
LLD version 8 has added support for armv6m:
https://reviews.llvm.org/D55555
This means we can use LLD instead of arm-none-eabi-ld, eliminating our
dependency on GNU binutils.
There are small differences in code size, but never more than a few
bytes.
This commit does a few things:
* remove the -8 suffix on macOS, where it is not necessary
* add smoke tests for compiling wasm files on Linux and macOS
CircleCI is faster and has more features than Travis CI. Additionally,
based on the recent news, the future of Travis CI is rather uncertain.
Keep using Travis CI for macOS testing at the moment, as open source
projects will need to get special permission to use CircleCI for macOS
tests.
