This is inspired by a mystifying linker failure when using `pkg-config` to
generate the linker args: `pkg-config` produces output that ends in a
space, thus resulting in an empty linker argument.
Also added some updates to the concerning error messages that helped
spotting this bug.
In #10422, I didn't actually test to make sure that the '-Z gen-crate-map'
option was usable before I implemented it. The crate map was indeed generated
when '-Z gen-crate-map' was specified, but the I/O factory slot was empty
because of an extra check in trans about filling in that location.
This commit both fixes that location, and checks in a "fancy test" which does
lots of fun stuff. The test will use the rustc library to compile a rust crate,
and then compile a C program to link against that crate and run the C program.
To my knowledge this is the first test of its kind, so it's a little ad-hoc, but
it seems to get the job done. We could perhaps generalize running tests like
this, but for now I think it's fine to have this sort of functionality tucked
away in a test.
This infrastructure is meant to support runnings tests that involve various
interesting interdependencies about the types of crates being linked or possibly
interacting with C libraries. The goal of these make tests is to not restrict
them to a particular test runner, but allow each test to run its own tests.
To this end, there is a new src/test/run-make directory which has sub-folders of
tests. Each test requires a `Makefile`, and running the tests constitues simply
running `make` inside the directory. The new target is `check-stageN-rmake`.
These tests will have the destination directory (as TMPDIR) and the local rust
compiler (as RUSTC) passed along to them. There is also some helpful
cross-platform utilities included in src/test/run-make/tools.mk to aid with
compiling C programs and running them.
The impetus for adding this new test suite is to allow various interesting forms
of testing rust linkage. All of the tests initially added are various flavors of
compiling Rust and C with one another as well as just making sure that rust
linkage works in general.
Closes#10434
