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.
**Note**: I only tested on top of my #10670 PR, size reductions come from both change sets.
With this, [more enums are shrinked](https://gist.github.com/eddyb/08fef0dfc6ff54e890bc), the most significant one being `ast_node`, from 104 bytes (master) to 96 (#10670) and now to 32 bytes.
My own testcase requires **200MB** less when compiling (not including the other **200MB** gained in #10670), and rustc-stage2 is down by about **130MB**.
I believe there is more to gain by fiddling with the enums' layouts.
In this series of commits, I've implemented static linking for rust. The scheme I implemented was the same as my [mailing list post](https://mail.mozilla.org/pipermail/rust-dev/2013-November/006686.html).
The commits have more details to the nitty gritty of what went on. I've rebased this on top of my native mutex pull request (#10479), but I imagine that it will land before this lands, I just wanted to pre-emptively get all the rebase conflicts out of the way (becuase this is reorganizing building librustrt as well).
Some contentious points I want to make sure are all good:
* I've added more "compiler chooses a default" behavior than I would like, I want to make sure that this is all very clearly outlined in the code, and if not I would like to remove behavior or make it clearer.
* I want to make sure that the new "fancy suite" tests are ok (using make/python instead of another rust crate)
If we do indeed pursue this, I would be more than willing to write up a document describing how linking in rust works. I believe that this behavior should be very understandable, and the compiler should never hinder someone just because linking is a little fuzzy.
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 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
- Removed module reexport workaround for the integer module macros
- Removed legacy reexports of `cmp::{min, max}` in the integer module macros
- Combined a few macros in `vec` into one
- Documented a few issues
While tracking down how this function became dead, identified a spot
(@fn cannot happen) where we probably would prefer to ICE rather than
pass silently; so added fail! invocation.
Instead of forcibly always aborting compilation, allow usage of
#[warn(unknown_features)] and related lint attributes to selectively abort
compilation. By default, this lint is deny.

### Rationale
There is no reason to support more than 2³² nodes or names at this moment, as compiling something that big (even without considering the quadratic space usage of some analysis passes) would take at least **64GB**.
Meanwhile, some can't (or barely can) compile rustc because it requires almost **1.5GB**.
### Potential problems
Can someone confirm this doesn't affect metadata (de)serialization? I can't tell myself, I know nothing about it.
### Results
Some structures have a size reduction of 25% to 50%: [before](https://gist.github.com/luqmana/3a82a51fa9c86d9191fa) - [after](https://gist.github.com/eddyb/5a75f8973d3d8018afd3).
Sadly, there isn't a massive change in the memory used for compiling stage2 librustc (it doesn't go over **1.4GB** as [before](http://huonw.github.io/isrustfastyet/mem/), but I can barely see the difference).
However, my own testcase (previously peaking at **1.6GB** in typeck) shows a reduction of **200**-**400MB**.
The majority of this change is modifying some of the `ast_visit` methods to return multiple values.
It's prohibitively expensive to allocate a `~[Foo]` every time a statement, declaration, item, etc is visited, especially since the vast majority will have 0 or 1 elements. I've added a `SmallVector` class that avoids allocation in the 0 and 1 element cases to take care of that.
This patchset makes warning if crate-level attribute is used at other places, obsolete attributed is used, or unknown attribute is used, since they are usually from mistakes.
Closes#3348
This is needed so that the FFI works as expected on platforms that don't
flatten aggregates the way the AMD64 ABI does, especially for `#[repr(C)]`.
This moves more of `type_of` into `trans::adt`, because the type might
or might not be an LLVM struct.
Closes#10308.
