This fixes two edge cases for min/max:
min/max(+0.0, -0.0) = -0.0, +0.0
min/max(number, NaN) = NaN, NaN
The compare and select method does not work here.
I switched to the llvm.minimum/llvm.maximum intrinsics which match the intended behavior.
The integer min/max were also swapped over to using intrinsics.
The compare and select path is now only used by strings.
Strings are readonly, but the compiler doesn't always know this. Marking
them as readonly in the frontend allows the compiler to optimize based
on this knowledge.
This provides some small code size benefits. I didn't measure running
speed.
This switches the Espressif fork from LLVM 19 to LLVM 20, so we can use
the improvements made between those LLVM versions. It also better aligns
with the system-LLVM build method, which currently also defaults to LLVM
20.
Note that this disables the machine outliner for RISC-V. It appears
there's a bug in there somewhere, with the machine outliner enabled the
crypto/elliptic package tests fail with -target=riscv-qemu.
This should ideally be investigated and reported upstream.
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.
