By disabling some configuration options (and updating the library), the
library becomes a lot smaller. With `-no-debug`, binaries become ~18kB
smaller on Linux, ~4kB smaller on MacOS, ~9kB smaller on Windows, and
~12kB smaller on WebAssembly.
This function is called when a hard fault occurs. Hard faults happen
when something really bad happens - like writing to unwritable memory or
an unaligned memory access on Cortex-M0. It is not generally possible to
recover from these.
This commit optimizes the code size overhead of hard fault handling:
* It removes the stack overflow checking code.
This may seem like a bad thing, but the only thing this could check
were stack overflows outside goroutines. In practice, this could
only really happen on a stack overflow in the scheduler (unlikely),
or in interrupt code (possible, but interrupts are small so still
unlikely). Most stack overflows happen in regular goroutines, and
weren't caught in the HardFault.
* It makes the panic message similar to a regular panic. This has two
advantages:
* It reduces code size, because the string can be reused between
the HardFault handler and the runtime panic function.
* Using the same pattern automatically makes `-monitor` print the
source address for the hard fault. Not a big benefit as we could
trivially add any other pattern but a nice benefit nonetheless.

panic: runtime error at 0x00000344: HardFault with sp=0x200007d0
[tinygo: panic at /home/ayke/src/tinygo/tinygo/src/internal/task/task_stack_cortexm.go:48:4]
(This is with https://github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/pull/3680 not yet
fixed and some local changes to configure the UART so I can actually see
the panic).
For atsamd21/nrf51 chips this results in a binary size reduction of
around 100 bytes. For other Cortex-M chips it's around 24 bytes but I
hope to change this in the future because a lot of the fault decoding in
runtime_cortexm_hardfault_debug.go should IMHO be done by the TinyGo
monitor instead (I estimate that this would save around 800 bytes on
these chips).
When debugging is enabled for interp, print better errors in a specific
case.
Before:
!! revert because of error: interp: unsupported instruction (to be emitted at runtime)
After:
!! revert because of error: /usr/local/go1.24.0/src/regexp/syntax/parse.go:927:27: interp: unsupported instruction (to be emitted at runtime)
So this adds error location information, which can be quite useful.
the test-macos-homebrew job, and it conflicts with the actual build
that we want, which is macOS 14 for backwards-compatibility.

and it also seems like a safer bet to have our own mirror just in case.

- do not install cmake, instead use the version already installed
- add macOS 15 to the CI builds
- update a could of GH actions to latest release

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.
The revive command seems to have had a syntax error in the file
input glob. It appears to have been broken in a way that did not
result in a return code being set. This change uses 'find' to
build the input to the linter.
Note that it is expected to fail the CI script, because it is
uncovering some existing lint issues that were not being caught.
With these flags, the TinyGo binary gets 18.8MB (11.6%) smaller. That
seems like a quite useful win for such a small change!
This is only for Linux for now. MacOS and Windows can be tested later,
the flags for those probably need to be modified.
Originally inspired by:
https://discourse.llvm.org/t/state-of-the-art-for-reducing-executable-size-with-heavily-optimized-program/87952/18
There are some other flags like -Wl,--pack-dyn-relocs=relr that did not
shrink binary size in my testing, so I've left them out.
This also switches the linker to prefer mold or lld over the default
linker, since the system linker is usually ld.bfd which is very slow.
(Also, for some reason mold produces smaller binaries than lld).
In some cases, e.g nothing connected on the bus, repeated resume-stop sequences can lead to the bus never reaching the stop state, hanging Tx.
This change ensures the resume-stop sequence is submitted once on error. It also moves the error code read to before the sequence to ensure it's valid.
Fixes: #4998
Writing to the UART takes time and that may not be a good idea inside an
interrupt, but it is essential for debugging sometimes (especially since
USB-CDC typically doesn't work inside an interrupt).
This fixes UART support in interrupts for the RP2040 at least. You can
test it with `-serial=uart` and connecting a USB-UART adapter to the
right pins.
Account for the sleep queue base time in the computation of the wakeup
time.
Tested with the following program on pico2.
func main() {
go func() {
for i := range 60 {
const delay = 20 * time.Millisecond
before := time.Now()
time.Sleep(delay)
if d := time.Since(before); true || d < delay {
log.Println(i, "actual", d, "delay", delay)
}
}
}()
time.Sleep(500 * time.Millisecond)
log.Println("******** done sleeping ********")
select {}
}
Without this change, the program would print lines such as:
17 actual 15.494ms delay 20ms
18 actual 15.49ms delay 20ms
19 actual 15.585ms delay 20ms
20 actual 15.493ms delay 20ms
21 actual 15.494ms delay 20ms
22 actual 15.487ms delay 20ms
23 actual 15.498ms delay 20ms
******** done sleeping ********
24 actual 15.548ms delay 20ms
25 actual 20.011ms delay 20ms
26 actual 20.01ms delay 20ms
27 actual 20.011ms delay 20ms
28 actual 20.015ms delay 20ms
Note that while more than one sleeping goroutine is in the timer queue,
the sleep duration is 5ms short.
* Add -o flag support to flash command. Fixes#4937
* Remove empty outpath check in validateOutputFormat

This gets the path package tests to pass, so we can move ahead with Go
1.25. It should be implemented in the future at some point (that, or
we'll use the upstream testing package instead).
