Currently some `Allocation`s are interned, some are not, and it's very
hard to tell at a use point which is which.
This commit introduces `ConstAllocation` for the known-interned ones,
which makes the division much clearer. `ConstAllocation::inner()` is
used to get the underlying `Allocation`.
In some places it's natural to use an `Allocation`, in some it's natural
to use a `ConstAllocation`, and in some places there's no clear choice.
I've tried to make things look as nice as possible, while generally
favouring `ConstAllocation`, which is the type that embodies more
information. This does require quite a few calls to `inner()`.
The commit also tweaks how `PartialOrd` works for `Interned`. The
previous code was too clever by half, building on `T: Ord` to make the
code shorter. That caused problems with deriving `PartialOrd` and `Ord`
for `ConstAllocation`, so I changed it to build on `T: PartialOrd`,
which is slightly more verbose but much more standard and avoided the
problems.
Direct users towards using Rust target feature names in CLI
This PR consists of a couple of changes on how we handle target features.
In particular there is a bug-fix wherein we avoid passing through features that aren't prefixed by `+` or `-` to LLVM. These appear to be causing LLVM to assert, which is pretty poor a behaviour (and also makes it pretty clear we expect feature names to be prefixed).
The other commit, I anticipate to be somewhat more controversial is outputting a warning when users specify a LLVM-specific, or otherwise unknown, feature name on the CLI. In those situations we request users to either replace it with a known Rust feature name (e.g. `bmi` -> `bmi1`) or file a feature request. I've a couple motivations for this: first of all, if users are specifying these features on the command line, I'm pretty confident there is also a need for these features to be usable via `#[cfg(target_feature)]` machinery. And second, we're growing a fair number of backends recently and having ability to provide some sort of unified-ish interface in this place seems pretty useful to me.

Partially move cg_ssa towards using a single builder
Not all codegen backends can handle hopping between blocks well. For example Cranelift requires blocks to be terminated before switching to building a new block. Rust-gpu requires a `RefCell` to allow hopping between blocks and cg_gcc currently has a buggy implementation of hopping between blocks. This PR reduces the amount of cases where cg_ssa switches between blocks before they are finished and mostly fixes the block hopping in cg_gcc. (~~only `scalar_to_backend` doesn't handle it correctly yet in cg_gcc~~ fixed that one.)
`@antoyo` please review the cg_gcc changes.
Ensure that queries only return Copy types.
This should pervent the perf footgun of returning a result with an expensive `Clone` impl (like a `Vec` of a hash map).
I went for the stupid solution of allocating on an arena everything that was not `Copy`. Some query results could be made Copy easily, but I did not really investigate.
This puts every function and data object in their own section. This
allows the linker to omit unused functions and data objects with
--gc-sections.
On linux this shrinks a hello world binary without optimizations
(neither sysroot nor binary) from 17MB to 13MB. It shrinks a hello world
binary with only sysroot optimizations from 14MB to 13MB. For comparison
cg_llvm produces a 3.5MB debug mode hello world binary with an optimized
sysroot. Cg_clif produces a 10MB debug mode hello world binary without
an optimized sysroot.
