Go 1.27 packages can emit stack probes on Windows amd64 and arm64.
Link the compiler-rt stack probe builtins and use compiler-rt for those
targets so these packages build.
* Add LinkerFlavor so the odd pairing of COFF+Linux is possible (necessary for UEFI)
* But back bits of builder.go that were mistakenly removed
* Update compileopts/config.go

Register a vectored exception handler at startup so Windows hardware
exceptions can be translated into Go panics. Access violations become
nil pointer panics, and integer divide-by-zero exceptions become divide
by zero panics, allowing defer/recover to handle them like ordinary
runtime panics.
OpenOCD can be somewhat outdated. `probe-rs` is a more modern tool
written in Rust with many interesting features, like built-in RTT
logging support.
This commit just adds basic support, to be able to flash devices with
probe-rs and debug them.
Add a new flash method that uses adb to flash boards over Android Debug
Bridge. The method supports running pre-flash shell commands via
"adb shell", pushing the firmware binary via "adb push", and running
post-flash shell commands with a {remote} token for the remote path.
New target JSON fields:
- adb-pre-commands: shell commands to run before pushing firmware
- adb-push-remote: remote device path for adb push
- adb-post-commands: shell commands to run after pushing firmware
Switch arduino-uno-q target to use the new adb flash method with
openocd running on the remote device.

* feat: add inheritable-only field to hide processor-level targets from listing
Processor-level targets like esp32, rp2040, etc. have flash-method set
so they leak through the existing heuristic filter in GetTargetSpecs and
appear in `tinygo targets` output. Add an "inheritable-only" JSON field
that is checked on raw JSON before inheritance resolution, preventing
these non-board targets from being listed while keeping them loadable
for direct builds and inheritance.
Ref: tinygo-org/tinygo#5178
* fix: prevent inheritable-only from propagating to child targets
The InheritableOnly bool field was propagating from parent to child
targets through overrideProperties, which would hide board targets
from GetTargetSpecs. Fix by preserving/restoring the field across
resolveInherits. Also simplify GetTargetSpecs by removing the raw
JSON pre-check workaround and remove nonexistent esp32c6 from tests.
* prevent build commands to use inheritable only targets
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 is not a scheduler in the runtime, instead every goroutine is
mapped to a single OS thread - meaning 1:1 scheduling.
While this may not perform well (or at all) for large numbers of
threads, it greatly simplifies many things in the runtime. For example,
blocking syscalls can be called directly instead of having to use epoll
or similar. Also, we don't need to do anything special to call C code -
the default stack is all we need.
A few small changes were needed to make this work. In particular, I
found a critical bug (see the previous commit) that needed to be fixed
to make this work on Windows.
Support for GOARCH=wasm was only available for `tinygo build`, not for
any of the other subcommands (`test`, `run`, etc). With this PR, these
subcommands should work again for supported values of GOOS.
This fixes the following error for example:
$ make tinygo-test-wasip1
GOOS=wasip1 GOARCH=wasm /home/ayke/bin/tinygo test cmp compress/lzw compress/zlib [...etc]
cannot resolve packages: GOARCH=wasm but GOOS is unset. Please set GOOS to wasm, wasip1, or wasip2.
make: *** [GNUmakefile:489: tinygo-test-wasip1] Error 1
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 requires an API introduced in MacOS 11. I think that's fine, since
the version before that (MacOS 10.15) is EOL since 2022. Though if
needed, we could certainly work around it by using an older and slightly
less nice API.
This adds support for the `//go:wasmexport` pragma as proposed here:
https://github.com/golang/go/issues/65199
It is currently implemented only for wasip1 and wasm-unknown, but it is
certainly possible to extend it to other targets like GOOS=js and
wasip2.
This should widen compatibility a bit, so that older CPUs can also
execute programs built by TinyGo. The performance may be lower, if
that's an issue we can look into implementing the proposal here:
https://github.com/golang/go/issues/60072
This still wouldn't make programs usable on MIPS II CPUs, I suppose we
can lower compatiblity down to that CPU if needed.
I tried setting the -cpu flag in the QEMU command line to be able to
test this, but it looks like there are no QEMU CPU models that are
mips32r1 and have a FPU. So it's difficult to test this.
This required a few compiler and runtime tricks to work, but I ran a
bunch of tests and it seems fine. (CI will of course do more exhaustive
testing).
The main benefit here is that we don't need to maintain the darwin
version of the syscall package, and reduce extra risks for bugs (because
we reuse the well-tested syscall package). For example, Go 1.23 needed a
bunch of new constants in the syscall package. That would have been
avoided if we had used the native syscall package on MacOS.
Print a message for SIGBUS, SIGSEGV, and SIGILL when they happen.
These signals are always fatal, but it's very useful to know which of
them happened.
Also, it prints the location in the binary which can then be parsed by
`tinygo run` (see https://github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/pull/4383).
While this does add some extra binary size, it's for Linux and MacOS
(systems that typically have plenty of RAM/storage) and could be very
useful when debugging some low-level crash such as a runtime bug.
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.
This more accurately describes the libc we are using.
This also adds the environment to _all_ Linux systems, not just ARM. And
selects the correct ABI (soft/hardfloat) that's in use.
I don't know whether it has any practical implications, but LLVM appears
to be using this information so it seems wise to use the correct values.
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.
Move triple calculation into defaultTarget. It was separate for historic
reasons that no longer apply. Merging the code makes future changes
easier (in particular, softfloat support).
The new code is actually shorter than the old code even though it has
more comments.
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.
This commit adds support for LLVM 16 and switches to it by default. That
means three LLVM versions are supported at the same time: LLVM 14, 15,
and 16.
This commit includes work by QuLogic:
* Part of this work was based on a PR by QuLogic:
https://github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/pull/3649
But I also had parts of this already implemented in an old branch I
already made for LLVM 16.
* QuLogic also provided a CGo fix here, which is also incorporated in
this commit:
https://github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/pull/3869
The difference with the original PR by QuLogic is that this commit is
more complete:
* It switches to LLVM 16 by default.
* It updates some things to also make it work with a self-built LLVM.
* It fixes the CGo bug in a slightly different way, and also fixes
another one not included in the original PR.
* It does not keep compiler tests passing on older LLVM versions. I
have found this to be quite burdensome and therefore don't generally
do this - the smoke tests should hopefully catch most regressions.
This adds true GOOS=wasip1 support in addition to our existing
-target=wasi support. The old support for WASI isn't removed, but should
be treated as deprecated and will likely be removed eventually to reduce
the test burden.
It looks like this on my system, for example:

}
This can be very useful while working on the automatically generated
target object for example (in my case, GOOS=wasip1).
Browsers previously didn't support the WebAssembly i64 type, so we had
to work around that limitation by converting the LLVM i64 type to
something else. Some people used a pair of i32 values, but we used a
pointer to a stack allocated i64.
Now however, all major browsers and Node.js do support WebAssembly
BigInt integration so that i64 values can be passed back and forth
between WebAssembly and JavaScript easily. Therefore, I think the time
has come to drop support for this workaround.
For more information: https://v8.dev/features/wasm-bigint (note that
TinyGo has used a slightly different way of passing i64 values between
JS and Wasm).

Some vector registers must be preserved across calls, but this wasn't
happening on Linux and MacOS. When I added support for windows/arm64, I
saw that it required these vector registers to be preserved and assumed
this was Windows deviating from the standard calling convention. But
actually, Windows was just implementing the standard calling convention
and the bug was on Linux and MacOS.
This commit fixes the bug on Linux and MacOS and at the same time merges
the Go and assembly files as they no longer need to be separate.
This was actually surprising once I got TinyGo to build on Windows 11
ARM64. All the changes are exactly what you'd expect for a new
architecture, there was no special weirdness just for arm64.
Actually getting TinyGo to build was kind of involved though. The very
short summary is: install arm64 versions of some pieces of software
(like golang, cmake) instead of installing them though choco. In
particular, use the llvm-mingw[1] toolchain instead of using standard
mingw.

This implements the block-based GC as a partially precise GC. This means
that for most heap allocations it is known which words contain a pointer
and which don't. This should in theory make the GC faster (because it
can skip non-pointer object) and have fewer false positives in a GC
cycle. It does however use a bit more RAM to store the layout of each
object.
Right now this GC seems to be slower than the conservative GC, but
should be less likely to run out of memory as a result of false
positives.
Before this patch, `tinygo lldb path/to/package` would result in an
error:
(lldb) target create --arch=arm64-unknown-macosx10.12.0 "/var/folders/17/btmpymwj0wv6n50cmslwyr900000gn/T/tinygo2731663853/main"
error: the specified architecture 'arm64-unknown-macosx10.12.0' is not compatible with 'arm64-apple-macosx10.12.0' in '/var/folders/17/btmpymwj0wv6n50cmslwyr900000gn/T/tinygo2731663853/main'
This patch fixes this error.
Unfortunately, it doesn't get debug information to work yet. I still
haven't figured out what's going wrong here. But it's progress, I guess.
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.
