We also sever syntax's dependency on rustc_target as a result.
This should slightly improve pipe-lining.
Moreover, some cleanup is done in related code.
The idea here is to make a reusable library out of the existing
rust-lexer, by separating out pure lexing and rustc-specific concerns,
like spans, error reporting an interning.
So, rustc_lexer operates directly on `&str`, produces simple tokens
which are a pair of type-tag and a bit of original text, and does not
report errors, instead storing them as flags on the token.
Now that procedural macros no longer link transitively to libsyntax,
this shouldn't be needed any more! This commit is an experiment in
removing all dynamic libraries from rustc except for librustc_driver
itself. Let's see how far we can get with that!
This commit deletes the internal liblog in favor of the implementation that
lives on crates.io. Similarly it's also setting a convention for adding crates
to the compiler. The main restriction right now is that we want compiler
implementation details to be unreachable from normal Rust code (e.g. requires a
feature), and by default everything in the sysroot is reachable via `extern
crate`.
The proposal here is to require that crates pulled in have these lines in their
`src/lib.rs`:
#![cfg_attr(rustbuild, feature(staged_api, rustc_private))]
#![cfg_attr(rustbuild, unstable(feature = "rustc_private", issue = "27812"))]
This'll mean that by default they're not using these attributes but when
compiled as part of the compiler they do a few things:
* Mark themselves as entirely unstable via the `staged_api` feature and the
`#![unstable]` attribute.
* Allow usage of other unstable crates via `feature(rustc_private)` which is
required if the crate relies on any other crates to compile (other than std).
This commit updates the version number to 1.17.0 as we're not on that version of
the nightly compiler, and at the same time this updates src/stage0.txt to
bootstrap from freshly minted beta compiler and beta Cargo.
This commit introduces 128-bit integers. Stage 2 builds and produces a working compiler which
understands and supports 128-bit integers throughout.
The general strategy used is to have rustc_i128 module which provides aliases for iu128, equal to
iu64 in stage9 and iu128 later. Since nowhere in rustc we rely on large numbers being supported,
this strategy is good enough to get past the first bootstrap stages to end up with a fully working
128-bit capable compiler.
In order for this strategy to work, number of locations had to be changed to use associated
max_value/min_value instead of MAX/MIN constants as well as the min_value (or was it max_value?)
had to be changed to use xor instead of shift so both 64-bit and 128-bit based consteval works
(former not necessarily producing the right results in stage1).
This commit includes manual merge conflict resolution changes from a rebase by @est31.
The `rust-std` package that we produce is expected to have not only the standard
library but also libtest for compiling unit tests. Unfortunately this does not
currently happen due to the way rustbuild is structured.
There are currently two main stages of compilation in rustbuild, one for the
standard library and one for the compiler. This is primarily done to allow us to
fill in the sysroot right after the standard library has finished compiling to
continue compiling the rest of the crates. Consequently the entire compiler does
not have to explicitly depend on the standard library, and this also should
allow us to pull in crates.io dependencies into the build in the future because
they'll just naturally build against the std we just produced.
These phases, however, do not represent a cross-compiled build. Target-only
builds also require libtest, and libtest is currently part of the
all-encompassing "compiler build". There's unfortunately no way to learn about
just libtest and its dependencies (in a great and robust fashion) so to ensure
that we can copy the right artifacts over this commit introduces a new build
step, libtest.
The new libtest build step has documentation, dist, and link steps as std/rustc
already do. The compiler now depends on libtest instead of libstd, and all
compiler crates can now assume that test and its dependencies are implicitly
part of the sysroot (hence explicit dependencies being removed). This makes the
build a tad less parallel as in theory many rustc crates can be compiled in
parallel with libtest, but this likely isn't where we really need parallelism
either (all the time is still spent in the compiler).
All in all this allows the `dist-std` step to depend on both libstd and libtest,
so `rust-std` packages produced by rustbuild should start having both the
standard library and libtest.
Closes#32523
The standard library doesn't depend on rustc_bitflags, so move it to explicit
dependencies on all other crates. Additionally, the arena/fmt_macros deps could
be dropped from libsyntax.
