Scan globals conservatively by reading writable sections from the PE
header.
I'd like to get rid of needing to precisely scan globals eventually, and
this brings us one step closer. It also avoids a bug with ThinLTO on
Windows.
Do it all at once in preparation for Go 1.18 support.
To make this commit, I've simply modified the `fmt-check` Makefile
target to rewrite files instead of listing the differences. So this is a
fully mechanical change, it should not have introduced any errors.
When using the latest wasi-libc I experienced a
panic on an attempt to call realloc. My first attempt to
add it to arch_tinygowasm.go was obviously not good (PR #2194). So here
is another suggestion.
This layout parameter is currently always nil and ignored, but will
eventually contain a pointer to a memory layout.
This commit also adds module verification to the transform tests, as I
found out that it didn't (and therefore didn't initially catch all
bugs).
heapptr is assinged to heapStart (which is 0) when it's declared, but preinit()
may have moved the heap somewhere else. Set heapptr to the proper value
of heapStart when we initialize the heap properly.
This allows the leaking allocator to work on unix.
On WebAssembly it is possible to grow the heap with the memory.grow
instruction. This commit implements this feature and with that also
removes the -heap-size flag that was reportedly broken (I haven't
verified that). This should make it easier to use TinyGo for
WebAssembly, where there was no good reason to use a fixed heap size.
This commit has no effect on baremetal targets with optimizations
enabled.
dumb -> leaking:
make it more clear what this "GC" does: leak everything.
marksweep -> conservative:
"marksweep" is too generic, use "conservative" to differentiate
between future garbage collectors: precise marksweep / mark-compact /
refcounting.
