Making this work on all targets was interesting but there's now a test
in place to make sure this works on all targets that have the CGo test
enabled (which is almost all targets).
This function is needed for Go 1.22, and is used from various packages
like math/rand.
When there is no random number generator available, it falls back to a
static sequence of numbers. I think this is fine, because as far as I
can see it is only used for non-cryptographic needs.
Instead of markGlobals calling markRoots unconditionally (which doesn't
make sense for -gc=none and -gc=leaking), provide markRoots as a
callback function.
This is in preparation for -gc=boehm, where the previous design is even
more awkward and a callback makes far more sense.
I've tested the size impact using `make smoketest XTENSA=0`. There is
none, except for two cases:
* One with `-opt=0` so const-propagation for the callback didn't take
place.
* One other on AVR, I don't know why but as it's only 16 bytes in a
very specific case I'm going to assume it's just a random change in
compiler output that caused a size difference.
We have an optimization for this specific pattern, but it's really just
a hack. With the addition of unsafe.Add in Go 1.17 we can directly
specify the intent instead and eventually remove this special case.
The code is also easier to read.
Go 1.19 started reformatting code in a way that makes it more obvious
how it will be rendered on pkg.go.dev. It gets it almost right, but not
entirely. Therefore, I had to modify some of the comments so that they
are formatted correctly.
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.
In the early days of TinyGo, the idea of `postinit` was to enable
interrupts only after initializers have run. Which kind of makes
sense... except that `time.Sleep` is allowed in init code and
`time.Sleep` requires interrupts to be enabled. Therefore, interrupts
must be enabled while initializers are being run.
This commit simply moves the enabling of interrupts to a point right
before running package initializers. It also removes `runtime.postinit`,
which is not necessary anymore (and was only used on AVR).
There is no reason to specialize this per chip as it is only ever used
for JavaScript. Not only that, it is causing confusion and is yet
another quirk to learn when porting the runtime to a new
microcontroller.
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.
* Heap allocation based on available ram
* Added homebrew launcher parser (for overriden heap)
* Removed unused stuff (moved to gonx)
* Kept require code at minimum to work in a real device
* Moved everything to a single file
The only architecture that actually needs special support for scanning
the stack is WebAssembly. All others allow raw access to the stack with
a small bit of assembly. Therefore, don't manually keep track of all
these objects on the stack manually and instead just use conservative
stack scanning.
This results in a massive code size decrease in the affected targets
(only tested linux/amd64 for code size) - sometimes around 33%. It also
allows for future improvements such as using proper stackful goroutines.
