Builder:
- Update clang.cpp for LLVM 22 API changes: DiagnosticOptions is no
longer ref-counted, TextDiagnosticPrinter and DiagnosticsEngine take
references instead of pointers, createDiagnostics() signature changed.
- Update cc1as.cpp: clang/Driver/Options.h moved to
clang/Options/Options.h, namespace changed from clang::driver::options
to clang::options, MCInstPrinter now passed as unique_ptr.
- Add new LLVM 22 libraries to GNUmakefile: clangAnalysisLifetimeSafety,
clangOptions, LLVMDTLTO, and dtlto component.
- Add llvm22 build tag to all build/test commands.
CGo:
- Handle CXType_Unexposed in libclang.go by resolving via canonical
type. LLVM 22 reports builtin type aliases (e.g. __size_t) as
Unexposed instead of Typedef.
- Always make C typedefs into Go type aliases. LLVM 22 changed
getTypedefDeclUnderlyingType to return CXType_Enum directly instead
of wrapping in an elaborated type.
Compileopts:
- Add build-tag-guarded ClangTriple() to substitute wasm32-unknown-wasi
with wasm32-unknown-wasip1 for LLVM 22 (deprecated triple).
- Add build-tag-guarded patchFeatures() to map renamed Xtensa features
(atomctl, memctl, timerint, esp32s3) for LLVM 22.
Targets:
- Remove -zca from RISC-V target feature strings (esp32c3, esp32c6,
fe310, k210, riscv-qemu, tkey). LLVM 22 now implies +zca from +c.
- Remove -zcd from k210. LLVM 22 now implies +zcd from +c,+d.
Tests:
- Change TestClangAttributes to check individual feature flags instead
of exact string match, allowing new LLVM features without failures.
- Update TestBinarySize expected values for LLVM 22 codegen.

The -march flag for compiling C libraries (compiler-rt, picolibc) was
hardcoded to rv32imac for all riscv32 targets. This is incorrect for
targets that lack the atomic extension, such as ESP32-C3 (rv32imc) and
TKey (rv32iczmmul).
Extract the -march value from the target's cflags when available,
falling back to the previous defaults (rv32imac, rv64gc) for targets
that don't override it.

This adds support for `-gc=boehm` on `-target=wasip1` and `-target=wasm`
(in a browser or NodeJS). Notably it does *not* add Boehm GC support for
`-target=wasip2`, since that target doesn't have a real libc.
This may be a bit of a weird place to put the library path, but
otherwise it's difficult to get the pathname for the Config.CFlags
function. So I've put it here.
This should help to avoid stale library caches. The idea is to increment
it every time something changes to a library that means it needs to be
recompiled. It's a manual process.
Instead of relying on a build when TinyGo is being built, do it like all
other libraries when it is needed.
This brings a few benefits:
* No more running `make wasi-libc` on the command line as a special
case for WebAssembly. The generic `git submodule update --init` step
is now enough for wasi-libc.
* It becomes much easier to customize the build per system. For
example: include/exclude malloc as needed, disable/enable bulk
memory operations per target, etc.
Header files are built immediately, not in a separate job, so no
dependency is needed here. All we need is a flag whether to add flags
for that given libc.
This adds support for the well-known Boehm GC. It's significantly faster
than our own naive GC and could be used as an alternative on bigger
systems.
In the future, this GC might also be supported on WebAssembly with some
extra work. Right now it's Linux only (though Windows/MacOS shouldn't be
too difficult to add).
This adds softfloat support to GOARM, as proposed here:
https://github.com/golang/go/issues/61588
This is similar to https://github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/pull/4189 but
with a few differences:
* It is based on the work to support MIPS softfloat.
* It fixes the issue that the default changed to softfloat everywhere.
This PR defaults to softfloat on ARMv5 and hardfloat on ARMv6 and
ARMv7.
* It also compiles the C libraries (compiler-rt, musl) using the same
soft/hard floating point support. This is important because
otherwise a GOARM=7,softfloat binary could still contain hardware
floating point instructions.
Previously, the compiler would default to hardfloat. This is not
supported by some MIPS CPUs.
This took me much longer than it should have because of a quirk in the
LLVM Mips backend: if the target-features string is not set (like during
LTO), the Mips backend picks the first function in the module and uses
that. Unfortunately, in the case of TinyGo this first function is
`llvm.dbg.value`, which is an LLVM intrinsic and doesn't have the
target-features string. I fixed it by adding a `-mllvm -mattr=` flag to
the linker.
It's possible to detect the architecture from the target triple, but
there are a number of exceptions that make it unpleasant to use for this
purpose. There are just too many weird exceptions (like mips vs mipsel,
and armv6m vs thumv6m vs arm64 vs aarch64) so it's better to centralize
these to canonical architecture names.
I picked the architecture names that happen to match the musl
architecture names, because those seem the most natural to me.
These libraries will be automatically built when needed and cached.
The main reason these were needed is for play.tinygo.org, but I've now
prebuilt them there directly (so they don't need to be built for every
tarball).
This adds linux/mipsle (little endian Mips) support to TinyGo.
It also adds experimental linux/mips (big-endian) support. It doesn't
quite work yet, some parts of the standard library (like the reflect
package) currently seem to assume a little-endian system.
Set -resource-dir in a central place instead of passing the header path
around everywhere and adding it using the `-I` flag. I believe this is
closer to how Clang is intended to be used.
This change was inspired by my attempt to add a Nix flake file to
TinyGo.
This is a big change: apart from removing LLVM 14 it also removes typed
pointer support (which was only fully supported in LLVM up to version
14). This removes about 200 lines of code, but more importantly removes
a ton of special cases for LLVM 14.
This should hopefully fix the following issue:
DW_FORM_rnglistx index pointing outside of .debug_rnglists offset array [in module /tmp/tinygo4013272868/main]
This flag is necessary in LLVM 15 because it appears that LLVM 15 has
changed the default target ABI from lp64 to lp64d. This results in a
linker failure. Setting the "target-abi" forces the RISC-V backend to
use the intended target ABI.
This gives some more optimization opportunities to LLVM, because it
understands these intrinsics. For example, it might convert
llvm.sqrt.f64 to llvm.sqrt.f32 if possible.
This change adds support for compiler-rt, which supports float64 (unlike
libgcc for AVR). This gets a number of tests to pass that require
float64 support.
We're still using libgcc with this change, but libgcc will probably be
removed eventually once AVR support in compiler-rt is a bit more mature.
I've also pushed a fix for a small regression in our
xtensa_release_14.0.0-patched LLVM branch that has also been merged
upstream. Without it, a floating point comparison against zero always
returns true which is certainly a bug. It is necessary to correctly
print floating point values.
Previously, the wrong permission bits were emitted by
`tinygo build-library`. This commit fixes that, by `chmod`'ing to
reasonable default permission bits.
Some clang builds (e.g., Fedora's) enable unwind tables by default. As
tinygo does not need nor support them, that leads to undefined symbols
when linking.
Switching to a shared semaphore allows multi-build operations (compiler tests, package tests, etc.) to use the expected degree of parallelism efficiently.
While refactoring the job runner, the time complexity was also reduced from O(n^2) to O(n+m) (where n is the number of jobs, and m is the number of dependencies).
This change uses flock (when available) to acquire locks for build operations.
This allows multiple tinygo processes to run concurrently without building the same thing twice.
When a library is built concurrently by multiple TinyGo processes, they may sometimes both build the headers.
In that case a directory rename may fail due to conflict.
This change detects and handles the conflict similar to how GOROOT construction does.
This commit adds support for musl-libc and uses it by default on Linux.
The main benefit of it is that binaries are always statically linked
instead of depending on the host libc, even when using CGo.
Advantages:
- The resulting binaries are always statically linked.
- No need for any tools on the host OS, like a compiler, linker, or
libc in a release build of TinyGo.
- This also simplifies cross compilation as no cross compiler is
needed (it's all built into the TinyGo release build).
Disadvantages:
- Binary size increases by 5-6 kilobytes if -no-debug is used. Binary
size increases by a much larger margin when debugging symbols are
included (the default behavior) because musl is built with debugging
symbols enabled.
- Musl does things a bit differently than glibc, and some CGo code
might rely on the glibc behavior.
- The first build takes a bit longer because musl needs to be built.
As an additional bonus, time is now obtained from the system in a way
that fixes the Y2038 problem because musl has been a bit more agressive
in switching to 64-bit time_t.
This is really just a preparatory commit for musl support. The idea is
to store not just the archive file (.a) but also an include directory.
This is optional for picolibc but required for musl, so the main purpose
of this commit is the refactor needed for this change.
Instead of keeping a slice of jobs to run, let the runJobs function
determine which jobs should be run by investigating all dependencies.
This has two benefits:
- The code is somewhat cleaner, as no 'jobs' slice needs to be
maintained while constructing the dependency graph.
- Eventually, some jobs might not be required by any dependency.
While it's possible to avoid adding them to the slice, the simpler
solution is to build a new slice from the dependencies which will
only include required dependencies by design.
At the moment, all targets use the Clang compiler to compile C and
assembly files. There is no good reason to make this configurable
anymore and in fact it will make future changes more complicated (and
thus more likely to have bugs). Therefore, I've removed support for
setting the compiler.
Note that the same is not true for the linker. While it makes sense to
standardize on the Clang compiler (because if Clang doesn't support a
target, TinyGo is unlikely to support it either), linkers will remain
configurable for the foreseeable future. One example is Xtensa, which is
supported by the Xtensa LLVM fork but doesn't have support in ld.lld
yet.
I've also fixed a bug in compileAndCacheCFile: it wasn't using the right
CFlags for caching purposes. This could lead to using stale caches. This
commit fixes that too.
Add a 'result' member to the compileJob struct which is used by the link
job to get all the paths that should be linked together. This is not yet
necessary (the paths are fixed), but soon the paths are only known after
a linker dependency has run.
This flag is important for the Xtensa backend because by default a more
powerful backend (ESP32) is assumed. Therefore, compiling for the
ESP8266 won't work by default and needs the -mcpu flag.
This key was intended as some sort of cache key (as the name indicates)
but that never happened. Let's remove it to avoid clutter. The cacheLoad
and cacheStore functions are only used for C libraries (libc,
compiler-rt) so their caching behavior is a bit different from other
things worth caching.
This commit parallelizes almost everything that can currently be
parallelized. With that, it also introduces a framework for easily
parallelizing other parts of the compiler.
Code for baremetal targets already compiles slightly faster because it
can parallelize the compilation of supporting assembly files. However,
the speedup is especially noticeable when libraries (compiler-rt,
picolibc) also need to be compiled: they will be compiled in parallel
next to the Go files using all available cores. On my dual core laptop
(4 cores if you count hyperthreading) this cuts compilation time roughly
in half when compiling something for a Cortex-M board after running
`tinygo clean`.
Eventually we might want to start using the FPU, but the easy option
right now is to simply disable it everywhere. Previously, it depended on
whether Clang was built as part of TinyGo or it was an external binary.
By setting the floating point mode explicitly, such inconsistencies are
avoided.
This commit creates a new cortex-m4 target which can be the central
place for setting FPU-related settings across all Cortex-M4 chips.
The frame pointer was already omitted in the object files that TinyGo
emits, but wasn't yet omitted in the C files it compiles. Omitting the
frame pointer is good for code size (and perhaps performance).
The frame pointer was originally used for printing stack traces in a
debugger. However, advances in DWARF debug info have made it largely
unnecessary (debug info contains enough information now to recover the
frame pointer even without an explicit frame pointer register). In fact,
GDB has been able to produce backtraces in TinyGo compiled code for a
while now while it didn't include a frame pointer.
The main change is in building the libraries, where -fshort-enums was
passed on RISC-V while other C files weren't compiled with this setting.
Note: the test already passed before this change, but it seems like a
good idea to explicitly test for enum size consistency.
There is also not a particular reason not to pass -fshort-enums on
RISC-V. Perhaps it's better to do it there too (on baremetal targets
that don't have to worry about binary compatibility).
This refactor makes adding a new library (such as a libc) much easier in
the future as it avoids a lot of duplicate code. Additionally, CI should
become a little bit faster (~15s) as build-builtins now uses the build
cache.
