Previously the assembler was reordering this code:
jal tinygo_scanstack
move $a0, $sp
Into this:
jal tinygo_scanstack
nop
move $a0, $sp
So it was "helpfully" inserting a branch delay slot, even though this
was already being taken care of.
Somehow this didn't break, but it does break in the WIP threading branch
(https://github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/pull/4559) where this bug leads to
a crash.
This ensures that calls to print/println happening in different threads
are not interleaved. It's a task.PMutex, so this should only change
things when threading is used.
This matches the Go compiler, which does the same thing:
https://godbolt.org/z/na5KzE7en
The locks are not recursive, which means that we need to be careful to
not call `print` or `println` inside a runtime.print* implementation,
inside putchar (recursively), and inside signal handlers. Making them
recursive might be useful to do in the future, but it's not really
necessary.
This uses uint32 instead of uint64. The reason for this is that uint64
atomic operations aren't universally available (especially on 32-bit
architectures). We could also use uintptr, but that seems needlessly
complicated: it's unlikely real-world programs will use more than a
billion select states (2^30).
This uses the task.PMutex parallel-only-mutex type to make the leaking
GC parallelism safe. The task.PMutex type is currently a no-op but will
become a real mutex once we add true parallelism.
Use the alignment from the align attribute of the runtime.alloc call.
This is going to be a more accurate alignment, and is typically smaller
than the default.
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 really is the only sane way to register a signal. If this flag is
not set, many syscalls will return EINTR (and not complete their
operation) which will be a massive source of hard-to-debug bugs.
This rewrite simplifies the channel implementation considerably, with
34% less LOC. Perhaps the most important change is the removal of the
channel state, which made sense when we had only send and receive
operations but only makes things more compliated when multiple select
operations can be pending on a single channel.
I did this rewrite originally to make it possible to make channels
parallelism-safe. The current implementation is not parallelism-safe,
but it will be easy to make it so (the main additions will be a channel
lock, a global select lock, and an atomic compare-and-swap in
chanQueue.pop).
This only works on declarations, not definitions. This is intentional:
it follows the upstream Go implemetation.
However, we might want to loosen this requirement at some point: TinyGo
sometimes stores pointers in memory mapped I/O knowing they won't
actually escape, but the compiler doesn't know about this.
This moves all scheduler code into a separate file that is only compiled
when there's a scheduler in use (the tasks or asyncify scheduler, which
are both cooperative). The main goal of this change is to make it easier
to add a new "scheduler" based on OS threads.
It also fixes a few subtle issues with `-gc=none`:
- Gosched() panicked. This is now fixed to just return immediately
(the only logical thing to do when there's only one goroutine).
- Timers aren't supported without a scheduler, but the relevant code
was still present and would happily add a timer to the queue. It
just never ran. So now it exits with a runtime error, similar to any
blocking operation.
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 fixes a bug where output would not actually be written to stdout
before exiting the process, leading to a flaky Windows CI. Exiting using
`exit(0)` appears to fix this.
For some background, see: https://github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/pull/4589
* Move environment functions to their own files.
* Rewrite the WASIp2 version of environment variables to be much
simpler (don't go through C functions).
These should make sure basic functionality is still working.
Using the `-short` flag to avoid taking too long to run all tests (and
to install all the necessary emulators), and because some targets might
not work in older Go/LLVM versions (such as WASI).
This does _not_ run tests and checks against expected IR, because LLVM
IR changes a lot across versions.
It looks like this breaks on Windows:
https://github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/issues/4557
I haven't confirmed this is indeed the problem, but it would make sense.
And passing through the temporary directory seems like a good idea
regardless, there's not much that could break due to that.
Use a single package for certain constants that must be the same between
the compiler and the runtime.
While just using the same values in both places works, this is much more
obvious and harder to mess up. It also avoids the need for comments
pointing to the other location the constant is defined. And having it in
code makes it possible for IDEs to analyze the source.
In the future, more such constants and maybe algorithms can be added.
This is similar to https://github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/pull/3899, but
smaller and hopefully just as efficient.
Thanks to @HattoriHanzo031 for starting this work, benchmarking, and for
improving the performance of the code even further.
The git hash that's part of `tinygo version` is now read from the binary
itself instead of embedding it with a `-ldflags` flag. This means it is
also present when building TinyGo using `go build` or `go install`.
