Add generation of static libraries to rustc This commit implements the support necessary for generating both intermediate and result static rust libraries. This is an implementation of my thoughts in https://mail.mozilla.org/pipermail/rust-dev/2013-November/006686.html. When compiling a library, we still retain the "lib" option, although now there are "rlib", "staticlib", and "dylib" as options for crate_type (and these are stackable). The idea of "lib" is to generate the "compiler default" instead of having too choose (although all are interchangeable). For now I have left the "complier default" to be a dynamic library for size reasons. Of the rust libraries, lib{std,extra,rustuv} will bootstrap with an rlib/dylib pair, but lib{rustc,syntax,rustdoc,rustpkg} will only be built as a dynamic object. I chose this for size reasons, but also because you're probably not going to be embedding the rustc compiler anywhere any time soon. Other than the options outlined above, there are a few defaults/preferences that are now opinionated in the compiler: * If both a .dylib and .rlib are found for a rust library, the compiler will prefer the .rlib variant. This is overridable via the -Z prefer-dynamic option * If generating a "lib", the compiler will generate a dynamic library. This is overridable by explicitly saying what flavor you'd like (rlib, staticlib, dylib). * If no options are passed to the command line, and no crate_type is found in the destination crate, then an executable is generated With this change, you can successfully build a rust program with 0 dynamic dependencies on rust libraries. There is still a dynamic dependency on librustrt, but I plan on removing that in a subsequent commit. This change includes no tests just yet. Our current testing infrastructure/harnesses aren't very amenable to doing flavorful things with linking, so I'm planning on adding a new mode of testing which I believe belongs as a separate commit. Closes #552

Store metadata separately in rlib files Right now whenever an rlib file is linked against, all of the metadata from the rlib is pulled in to the final staticlib or binary. The reason for this is that the metadata is currently stored in a section of the object file. Note that this is intentional for dynamic libraries in order to distribute metadata bundled with static libraries. This commit alters the situation for rlib libraries to instead store the metadata in a separate file in the archive. In doing so, when the archive is passed to the linker, none of the metadata will get pulled into the result executable. Furthermore, the metadata file is skipped when assembling rlibs into an archive. The snag in this implementation comes with multiple output formats. When generating a dylib, the metadata needs to be in the object file, but when generating an rlib this needs to be separate. In order to accomplish this, the metadata variable is inserted into an entirely separate LLVM Module which is then codegen'd into a different location (foo.metadata.o). This is then linked into dynamic libraries and silently ignored for rlib files. While changing how metadata is inserted into archives, I have also stopped compressing metadata when inserted into rlib files. We have wanted to stop compressing metadata, but the sections it creates in object file sections are apparently too large. Thankfully if it's just an arbitrary file it doesn't matter how large it is. I have seen massive reductions in executable sizes, as well as staticlib output sizes (to confirm that this is all working).

Add generation of static libraries to rustc This commit implements the support necessary for generating both intermediate and result static rust libraries. This is an implementation of my thoughts in https://mail.mozilla.org/pipermail/rust-dev/2013-November/006686.html. When compiling a library, we still retain the "lib" option, although now there are "rlib", "staticlib", and "dylib" as options for crate_type (and these are stackable). The idea of "lib" is to generate the "compiler default" instead of having too choose (although all are interchangeable). For now I have left the "complier default" to be a dynamic library for size reasons. Of the rust libraries, lib{std,extra,rustuv} will bootstrap with an rlib/dylib pair, but lib{rustc,syntax,rustdoc,rustpkg} will only be built as a dynamic object. I chose this for size reasons, but also because you're probably not going to be embedding the rustc compiler anywhere any time soon. Other than the options outlined above, there are a few defaults/preferences that are now opinionated in the compiler: * If both a .dylib and .rlib are found for a rust library, the compiler will prefer the .rlib variant. This is overridable via the -Z prefer-dynamic option * If generating a "lib", the compiler will generate a dynamic library. This is overridable by explicitly saying what flavor you'd like (rlib, staticlib, dylib). * If no options are passed to the command line, and no crate_type is found in the destination crate, then an executable is generated With this change, you can successfully build a rust program with 0 dynamic dependencies on rust libraries. There is still a dynamic dependency on librustrt, but I plan on removing that in a subsequent commit. This change includes no tests just yet. Our current testing infrastructure/harnesses aren't very amenable to doing flavorful things with linking, so I'm planning on adding a new mode of testing which I believe belongs as a separate commit. Closes #552
