By default, the linker in use under OpenBSD is the linker of base, which
don't include /usr/local/lib where libstdc++ of gcc-4.9 lives. We need
to add this directory to linker-path-search (using -L).
Search the path of libstdc++.a, which is a known name (libstdc++.so has
SO_VERSION) in the same directory.
This means that we no longer need to ship the `llvm-ar.exe` binary in the MSVC
distribution, and after a snapshot we can remove a good bit of logic from the
makefiles!
Rust's current compilation model makes it impossible on Windows to generate one
object file with a complete and final set of dllexport annotations. This is
because when an object is generated the compiler doesn't actually know if it
will later be included in a dynamic library or not. The compiler works around
this today by flagging *everything* as dllexport, but this has the drawback of
exposing too much.
Thankfully there are alternate methods of specifying the exported surface area
of a dll on Windows, one of which is passing a `*.def` file to the linker which
lists all public symbols of the dynamic library. This commit removes all
locations that add `dllexport` to LLVM variables and instead dynamically
generates a `*.def` file which is passed to the linker. This file will include
all the public symbols of the current object file as well as all upstream
libraries, and the crucial aspect is that it's only used when generating a
dynamic library. When generating an executable this file isn't generated, so all
the symbols aren't exported from an executable.
To ensure that statically included native libraries are reexported correctly,
the previously added support for the `#[linked_from]` attribute is used to
determine the set of FFI symbols that are exported from a dynamic library, and
this is required to get the compiler to link correctly.
This means that we no longer need to ship the `llvm-ar.exe` binary in the MSVC
distribution, and after a snapshot we can remove a good bit of logic from the
makefiles!
This commit removes all morestack support from the compiler which entails:
* Segmented stacks are no longer emitted in codegen.
* We no longer build or distribute libmorestack.a
* The `stack_exhausted` lang item is no longer required
The only current use of the segmented stack support in LLVM is to detect stack
overflow. This is no longer really required, however, because we already have
guard pages for all threads and registered signal handlers watching for a
segfault on those pages (to print out a stack overflow message). Additionally,
major platforms (aka Windows) already don't use morestack.
This means that Rust is by default less likely to catch stack overflows because
if a function takes up more than one page of stack space it won't hit the guard
page. This is what the purpose of morestack was (to catch this case), but it's
better served with stack probes which have more cross platform support and no
runtime support necessary. Until LLVM supports this for all platform it looks
like morestack isn't really buying us much.
cc #16012 (still need stack probes)
Closes#26458 (a drive-by fix to help diagnostics on stack overflow)
This commit modifies the configure script and our makefiles to support building
32-bit MSVC targets. The MSVC toolchain is now parameterized over whether it can
produce a 32-bit or 64-bit binary. The configure script was updated to export
more variables at configure time, and the makefiles were rejiggered to
selectively reexport the relevant environment variables for the applicable
targets they're going to run for.
The changes scaled back in 4cc025d8 were a little too aggressive and broke a
bunch of cross compilations by not defining the `LINK_$(1)` variable for all
targets. This commit ensures that the variable is defined for all targets by
defaulting it to the normal compiler if it's not already defined (it's only
defined specially for MSVC).
Closes#25723
Currently the MSVC compilers don't have any cross prefixes and we're only able
to make an MSVC compiler with a cross compile, so just avoid this logic on msvc
for now.
We have a number of support C/C++ files in Rust that we link into the standard
library and other various locations, and these all need to be built with cl.exe
instead of gcc.exe when targeting MSVC. This commit adds helper macros for this
functionality to use different sets of programs/flags/invocations on MSVC than
on GNU-like platforms.
Previously libmorestack.a and libcompiler-rt.a were installed, but link.exe
looks for morestack.lib and compiler-rt.lib by default, so we need to install
these with the correct name
This commit removes the libuv and gyp submodules, as well as all build
infrastructure related to them.

Not included are two required patches:
* LLVM: segmented stack support for DragonFly [1]
* jemalloc: simple configure patches
[1]: http://reviews.llvm.org/D4705
I mostly tried to remain backwards compatible with old invocations of
the `configure` script; if you do not want to use `CC` et al., you
should not have to; you can keep using `--enable-clang` and/or
`--enable-ccache`.
The overall intention is to capture the following precedences for
guessing the C compiler:
1. Value of `CC` at make invocation time.
2. Value of `CC` at configure invocation time.
3. Compiler inferred at configure invocation time (`gcc` or `clang`).
The strategy is to check (at `configure` time) if each of the
environment variables is set, and if so, save its value in a
corresponding `CFG_` variable (e.g. `CFG_CC`).
Then, in the makefiles, if `CC` is not set but `CFG_CC` is, then we
use the `CFG_CC` setting as `CC`.
Also, I fold the potential user-provided `CFLAGS` and `CXXFLAGS`
values into all of the per-platform `CFLAGS` and `CXXFLAGS` settings.
(This was opposed to adding `$(CFLAGS)` in an ad-hoc manner to various
parts of the mk files.)
Fix#13805.
----
Note that if you try to set the compiler to clang via the `CC` and
`CXX` environment variables, you will probably need to also set
`CXXFLAGS` to `--enable-libcpp` so that LLVM will be configured
properly.
----
Introduce CFG_USING_CLANG, which is distinguished from
CFG_ENABLE_CLANG because the former represents "we think we're using
clang, choose appropriate warning-control options" while the latter
represents "we asked configure (or the host required) that we attempt
to use clang, so check that we have an appropriate version of clang."
The main reason I added this is that I wanted to allow the user to
choose clang via setting the `CC` environment variable, but I did not
want that method of selection to get confused with the user passing
the `--enable-clang` option.
----
A digression: The `configure` script does not infer the compiler
setting if `CC` is set; but if `--enable-clang` was passed, then it
*does* still attempt to validate that the clang version is compatible.
Supporting this required revising `CLANG_VERSION` check to be robust
in face of user-provided `CC` value.
In particular, on Travis, the `CC` is set to `gcc` and so the natural
thing to do is to attempt to use `gcc` as the compiler, but Travis is
also passing `--enable-clang` to configure. So, what is the right
answer in the face of these contradictory requests?
One approach would be to have `--enable-clang` supersede the setting
for `CC` (and instead just call whatever we inferred for `CFG_CLANG`).
That sounds maximally inflexible to me (pnkfelix): a developer
requesting a `CC` value probably wants it respected, and should be
able to set it to something else; it is harder for that developer to
hack our configure script to change its inferred path to clang.
A second approach would be to blindly use the `CC` value but keep
going through the clang version check when `--enable-clang` is turned
on. But on Travis (a Linux host), the `gcc` invocation won't print a
clang version, so we would not get past the CLANG_VERSION check in
that context.
A third approach would be to never run the CLANG_VERSION check if `CC`
is explicitly set. That is not a terrible idea; but if the user uses
`CC` to pass in a path to some other version of clang that they want
to test, probably should still send that through the `CLANG_VERSION`
check.
So in the end I (pnkfelix) took a fourth approach: do the
CLANG_VERSION check if `CC` is unset *or* if `CC` is set to a string
ending with `clang`. This way setting `CC` to things like
`path/to/clang` or `ccache clang` will still go through the
CLANG_VERSION check, while setting `CC` to `gcc` or some unknown
compiler will skip the CLANG_VERSION check (regardless of whether the
user passed --enable-clang to `configure`).
----
Drive-by fixes:
* The call that sets `CFG_CLANG_VERSION` was quoting `"$CFG_CC"` in
its invocation, but that does not play nicely with someone who sets
`$CFG_CC` to e.g. `ccache clang`, since you do not want to intepret
that whole string as a command.
(On the other hand, a path with spaces might need the quoted
invocation. Not sure which one of these corner use-cases is more
important to support.)
* Fix chk_cc error message to point user at `gcc` not `cc`.
There's no need to include this specific flag just for android. We can
already deal with what it tries to solve by using -C linker=/path/to/cc
and -C ar=/path/to/ar. The Makefiles for rustc already set this up when
we're crosscompiling.
I did add the flag to compiletest though so it can find gdb. Though, I'm
pretty sure we don't run debuginfo tests on android anyways right now.

Instead of passing through CC which may have things like ccache and other
arguments (when using clang) this commit filters out the necessary arguments
from CC to pass the right linker to rustc.
Closes#13562
Includes an upstream commit by pcwalton to improve codegen of our enums getting
moved around.
This also introduces a new commit on top of our stack of patches to fix a mingw32 build issue. I have submitted the patch upstream: http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvm-commits/Week-of-Mon-20140210/204653.html
I verified that this builds on the try bots, which amazes me because I think that c++11 is turned on now, but I guess we're still lucky!
Closes#10613 (pcwalton's patch landed)
Closes#11992 (llvm has removed these options)
