Now that LLVM has been updated, the only remaining roadblock to implementing
unwinding for MSVC is to fill out the runtime support in `std::rt::unwind::seh`.
This commit does precisely that, fixing up some other bits and pieces along the
way:
* The `seh` unwinding module now uses `RaiseException` to initiate a panic.
* The `rust_try.ll` file was rewritten for MSVC (as it's quite different) and is
located at `rust_try_msvc_64.ll`, only included on MSVC builds for now.
* The personality function for all landing pads generated by LLVM is hard-wired
to `__C_specific_handler` instead of the standard `rust_eh_personality` lang
item. This is required to get LLVM to emit SEH unwinding information instead
of DWARF unwinding information. This also means that on MSVC the
`rust_eh_personality` function is entirely unused (but is defined as it's a
lang item).
More details about how panicking works on SEH can be found in the
`rust_try_msvc_64.ll` or `seh.rs` files, but I'm always open to adding more
comments!
A key aspect of this PR is missing, however, which is that **unwinding is still
turned off by default for MSVC**. There is a [bug in llvm][llvm-bug] which
causes optimizations to inline enough landing pads that LLVM chokes. If the
compiler is optimized at `-O1` (where inlining isn't enabled) then it can
bootstrap with unwinding enabled, but when optimized at `-O2` (inlining is
enabled) then it hits a fatal LLVM error.

In #26252 support was added to have prettier paths printed out on failure by not
passing the full path to the source file to the compiler, but instead just a
small relative path. To preserve this relative path across configurations, the
`SREL` variable was used for reconfiguring, but if `SREL` is empty then it will
attempt to run the command `configure` which is distinct from running
`./configure` (e.g. doesn't run the local script).
This commit modifies the `SREL` value to re-run the configure script by setting
it to `./` in the case where `SREL` is empty.

mk: Build crates with relative source file paths
The path we pass to rustc will be visible in panic messages and
backtraces: they will be user visible!
Avoid junk in these paths by passing relative paths to rustc.
For most advanced users, `libcore` or `libstd` in the path will be
a clue to the location -- inside our code, not theirs.
Store both the relative path to the source as well as the absolute.
Use the relative path where it matters, compiling the main crates,
instead of changing all of the build process to cope with relative
paths.

Right now the distribution tarball for MSVC only includes the *.dll files for
the supporting libraries, but not the corresponding *.lib files which allow
actually linking to the dll. This means that the current MSVC nightlies cannot
produce dynamically linked binaries as the *.lib files are not available to link
against.
This commit modifies the `LIB_GLOB` used to copy the files around to include the
`lib` variant of the `dll`.
On MSVC there are two ways that the CRT can be linked, either statically or
dynamically. Each object file produced by the compiler is compiled against
msvcrt (a dll) or libcmt (a static library). When the linker is dealing with
more than one object file, it requires that all object files link to the same
CRT, or else the linker will spit out some errors.
For now, compile code with `-MD` as it seems to appear more often in C libraries
so we'll stick with the same trend.

GDB and LLDB pretty printers have some common functionality and also access some common information, such as the layout of standard library types. So far, this information has been duplicated in the two pretty printing python modules. This PR introduces a common module used by both debuggers.
This PR also implements proper rendering of `String` and `&str` values in LLDB.
Now that MSVC support has landed in the most recent nightlies we can now have
MSVC bootstrap itself without going through a GNU compiler first. Unfortunately,
however, the bootstrap currently fails due to the compiler not being able to
find the llvm-ar.exe tool during the stage0 libcore compile. The compiler cannot
find this tool because it's looking inside a directory that does not exist:
$SYSROOT/rustlib/x86_64-pc-windows-gnu/bin
The `gnu` on this triple is because the bootstrap compiler's host architecture
is GNU. The build system, however, only arranges for the llvm-ar.exe tool to be
available in this location:
$SYSROOT/rustlib/x86_64-pc-windows-msvc/bin
To resolve this discrepancy, the build system has been modified to understand
triples that are bootstrapped from another triple, and in this case copy the
native tools to the right location.
This commit adds a ./configure option called `--disable-elf-tls` which disables
ELF based TLS (that which is communicated to LLVM) on platforms which already
support it. OSX 10.6 does not support this form of TLS, and some users of Rust
need to target 10.6 and are unable to do so due to the usage of TLS. The
standard library will continue to use ELF based TLS on OSX by default (as the
officially supported platform is 10.7+), but this adds an option to compile the
standard library in a way that is compatible with 10.6.

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

defined specially for MSVC).
Closes#25723Closes#25802
The current codegen tests only compare IR line counts between similar
rust and C programs, the latter getting compiled with clang. That looked
like a good idea back then, but actually things like lifetime intrinsics
mean that less IR isn't always better, so the metric isn't really
helpful.
Instead, we can start doing tests that check specific aspects of the
generated IR, like attributes or metadata. To do that, we can use LLVM's
FileCheck tool which has a number of useful features for such tests.
To start off, I created some tests for a few things that were recently
added and/or broken.

The recent MSVC patch made the build system pass explicit linkers to
rustc, but did not set that up for anything other than MSVC.
This is blocking nightlies.
The install target depends on compiler-docs but 'all' does not.
This means that running 'make && make install' will run additional
doc builds and tests during installation, which hides bugs in
the build.
For now this just unconditionally stops building compiler docs.

# MSVC Support
This goal of this series of commits is to add MSVC support to the Rust compiler
and build system, allowing it more easily interoperate with Visual Studio
installations and native libraries compiled outside of MinGW.
The tl;dr; of this change is that there is a new target of the compiler,
`x86_64-pc-windows-msvc`, which will not interact with the MinGW toolchain at
all and will instead use `link.exe` to assemble output artifacts.
## Why try to use MSVC?
With today's Rust distribution, when you install a compiler on Windows you also
install `gcc.exe` and a number of supporting libraries by default (this can be
opted out of). This allows installations to remain independent of MinGW
installations, but it still generally requires native code to be linked with
MinGW instead of MSVC. Some more background can also be found in #1768 about the
incompatibilities between MinGW and MSVC.
Overall the current installation strategy is quite nice so long as you don't
interact with native code, but once you do the usage of a MinGW-based `gcc.exe`
starts to get quite painful.
Relying on a nonstandard Windows toolchain has also been a long-standing "code
smell" of Rust and has been slated for remedy for quite some time now. Using a
standard toolchain is a great motivational factor for improving the
interoperability of Rust code with the native system.
## What does it mean to use MSVC?
"Using MSVC" can be a bit of a nebulous concept, but this PR defines it as:
* The build system for Rust will build as much code as possible with the MSVC
compiler, `cl.exe`.
* The build system will use native MSVC tools for managing archives.
* The compiler will link all output with `link.exe` instead of `gcc.exe`.
None of these are currently implemented today, but all are required for the
compiler to fluently interoperate with MSVC.
## How does this all work?
At the highest level, this PR adds a new target triple to the Rust compiler:
x86_64-pc-windows-msvc
All logic for using MSVC or not is scoped within this triple and code can
conditionally build for MSVC or MinGW via:
#[cfg(target_env = "msvc")]
It is expected that auto builders will be set up for MSVC-based compiles in
addition to the existing MinGW-based compiles, and we will likely soon start
shipping MSVC nightlies where `x86_64-pc-windows-msvc` is the host target triple
of the compiler.
# Summary of changes
Here I'll explain at a high level what many of the changes made were targeted
at, but many more details can be found in the commits themselves. Many thanks to
@retep998 for the excellent writeup in rust-lang/rfcs#1061 and @rick26 for a lot
of the initial proof-of-concept work!
## Build system changes
As is probably expected, a large chunk of this PR is changes to Rust's build
system to build with MSVC. At a high level **it is an explicit non goal** to
enable building outside of a MinGW shell, instead all Makefile infrastructure we
have today is retrofitted with support to use MSVC instead of the standard MSVC
toolchain. Some of the high-level changes are:
* The configure script now detects when MSVC is being targeted and adds a number
of additional requirements about the build environment:
* The `--msvc-root` option must be specified or `cl.exe` must be in PATH to
discover where MSVC is installed. The compiler in use is also required to
target x86_64.
* Once the MSVC root is known, the INCLUDE/LIB environment variables are
scraped so they can be reexported by the build system.
* CMake is required to build LLVM with MSVC (and LLVM is also configured with
CMake instead of the normal configure script).
* jemalloc is currently unconditionally disabled for MSVC targets as jemalloc
isn't a hard requirement and I don't know how to build it with MSVC.
* Invocations of a C and/or C++ compiler are now abstracted behind macros to
appropriately call the underlying compiler with the correct format of
arguments, for example there is now a macro for "assemble an archive from
objects" instead of hard-coded invocations of `$(AR) crus liboutput.a ...`
* The output filenames for standard libraries such as morestack/compiler-rt are
now "more correct" on windows as they are shipped as `foo.lib` instead of
`libfoo.a`.
* Rust targets can now depend on native tools provided by LLVM, and as you'll
see in the commits the entire MSVC target depends on `llvm-ar.exe`.
* Support for custom arbitrary makefile dependencies of Rust targets has been
added. The MSVC target for `rustc_llvm` currently requires a custom `.DEF`
file to be passed to the linker to get further linkages to complete.
## Compiler changes
The modifications made to the compiler have so far largely been minor tweaks
here and there, mostly just adding a layer of abstraction over whether MSVC or a
GNU-like linker is being used. At a high-level these changes are:
* The section name for metadata storage in dynamic libraries is called `.rustc`
for MSVC-based platorms as section names cannot contain more than 8
characters.
* The implementation of `rustc_back::Archive` was refactored, but the
functionality has remained the same.
* Targets can now specify the default `ar` utility to use, and for MSVC this
defaults to `llvm-ar.exe`
* The building of the linker command in `rustc_trans:🔙:link` has been
abstracted behind a trait for the same code path to be used between GNU and
MSVC linkers.
## Standard library changes
Only a few small changes were required to the stadnard library itself, and only
for minor differences between the C runtime of msvcrt.dll and MinGW's libc.a
* Some function names for floating point functions have leading underscores, and
some are not present at all.
* Linkage to the `advapi32` library for crypto-related functions is now
explicit.
* Some small bits of C code here and there were fixed for compatibility with
MSVC's cl.exe compiler.
# Future Work
This commit is not yet a 100% complete port to using MSVC as there are still
some key components missing as well as some unimplemented optimizations. This PR
is already getting large enough that I wanted to draw the line here, but here's
a list of what is not implemented in this PR, on purpose:
## Unwinding
The revision of our LLVM submodule [does not seem to implement][llvm] does not
support lowering SEH exception handling on the Windows MSVC targets, so
unwinding support is not currently implemented for the standard library (it's
lowered to an abort).
[llvm]: https://github.com/rust-lang/llvm/blob/rust-llvm-2015-02-19/lib/CodeGen/Passes.cpp#L454-L461
It looks like, however, that upstream LLVM has quite a bit more support for SEH
unwinding and landing pads than the current revision we have, so adding support
will likely just involve updating LLVM and then adding some shims of our own
here and there.
## dllimport and dllexport
An interesting part of Windows which MSVC forces our hand on (and apparently
MinGW didn't) is the usage of `dllimport` and `dllexport` attributes in LLVM IR
as well as native dependencies (in C these correspond to
`__declspec(dllimport)`).
Whenever a dynamic library is built by MSVC it must have its public interface
specified by functions tagged with `dllexport` or otherwise they're not
available to be linked against. This poses a few problems for the compiler, some
of which are somewhat fundamental, but this commit alters the compiler to attach
the `dllexport` attribute to all LLVM functions that are reachable (e.g. they're
already tagged with external linkage). This is suboptimal for a few reasons:
* If an object file will never be included in a dynamic library, there's no need
to attach the dllexport attribute. Most object files in Rust are not destined
to become part of a dll as binaries are statically linked by default.
* If the compiler is emitting both an rlib and a dylib, the same source object
file is currently used but with MSVC this may be less feasible. The compiler
may be able to get around this, but it may involve some invasive changes to
deal with this.
The flipside of this situation is that whenever you link to a dll and you import
a function from it, the import should be tagged with `dllimport`. At this time,
however, the compiler does not emit `dllimport` for any declarations other than
constants (where it is required), which is again suboptimal for even more
reasons!
* Calling a function imported from another dll without using `dllimport` causes
the linker/compiler to have extra overhead (one `jmp` instruction on x86) when
calling the function.
* The same object file may be used in different circumstances, so a function may
be imported from a dll if the object is linked into a dll, but it may be
just linked against if linked into an rlib.
* The compiler has no knowledge about whether native functions should be tagged
dllimport or not.
For now the compiler takes the perf hit (I do not have any numbers to this
effect) by marking very little as `dllimport` and praying the linker will take
care of everything. Fixing this problem will likely require adding a few
attributes to Rust itself (feature gated at the start) and then strongly
recommending static linkage on Windows! This may also involve shipping a
statically linked compiler on Windows instead of a dynamically linked compiler,
but these sorts of changes are pretty invasive and aren't part of this PR.
## CI integration
Thankfully we don't need to set up a new snapshot bot for the changes made here as our snapshots are freestanding already, we should be able to use the same snapshot to bootstrap both MinGW and MSVC compilers (once a new snapshot is made from these changes).
I plan on setting up a new suite of auto bots which are testing MSVC configurations for now as well, for now they'll just be bootstrapping and not running tests, but once unwinding is implemented they'll start running all tests as well and we'll eventually start gating on them as well.
---
I'd love as many eyes on this as we've got as this was one of my first interactions with MSVC and Visual Studio, so there may be glaring holes that I'm missing here and there!

This commit updates the `dist` target for MSVC to not build the mingw components
and to also ensure that the `llvm-ar.exe` binary is ferried along into the right
location for installs.
Windows needs explicit exports of functions from DLLs but LLVM does not mention
any of its symbols as being export-able from a DLL. The compiler, however,
relies on being able to use LLVM symbols across DLL boundaries so we need to
force many of LLVM's symbols to be exported from `rustc_llvm.dll`. This commit
adds support for generation of a `rustc_llvm.def` file which is passed along to
the linker when generating `rustc_llvm.dll` which should keep all these symbols
exportable and usable.
The compiler will require that `llvm-ar.exe` be available for MSVC-targeting
builds (more comments on this soon), so this commit adds support for targets to
depend on LLVM tools. The `core` library for MSVC depends on `llvm-ar.exe` which
will be copied into place for the target before the compiler starts to run.
Note that these targets all depend on `llvm-config.exe` to ensure that they're
built before they're attempted to be copied.
This commit updates the rustllvm.mk file with the necessary flags and such to
build rustllvm.lib with cl.exe instead of gcc. Some comments can be found in the
commit itself.
It looks like compiler-rt has a cmake build sytem inside its source, but I have
been unable to figure out how to use it and actually build the right library.
For now this commit hard-wires MSVC-targeting builds of libcompiler-rt to
continue using `make` as the primary bulid system, but some frobbing of the
flags are necessary to ensure that the right compiler is used.
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.
This commit modifies the makefiles to enable building LLVM with cmake and Visual
Studio to generate an LLVM that targets MSVC. Rust's configure script requires
cmake to be installed when targeting MSVC and will configure LLVM with cmake
instead of the normal `./configure` script LLVM provides. The build will then
run cmake to execute the build instead of the normal `make`.
Currently `make clean-llvm` isn't supported on MSVC as I can't figure out how to
run a "clean" target for the Visual Studio files.
This commit starts to add MSVC support to the ./configure script to enable the
build system to detect and build an MSVC target with the cl.exe compiler and
toolchain. The primary change here is a large sanity check when an MSVC target
is requested (and currently only `x86_64-pc-windows-msvc` is recognized).
When building an MSVC target, the configure script either requires the
`--msvc-root` argument or for `cl.exe` to be in `PATH`. It also requires that if
in the path `cl.exe` is the 64-bit version of the compiler.
Once detected the configure script will run the `vcvarsall.bat` script provided
by Visual Studio to learn about the `INCLUDE` and `LIB` variables needed by the
`cl.exe` compiler to run (the default include/lib paths for the
compiler/linker). These variables are then reexported when running `make` to
ensure that our own compiles are running the same toolchain.
The purpose of this detection and environment variable scraping is to avoid
requiring the build itself to be run inside of a `cmd.exe` shell but rather
allow it to run in the currently expected MinGW/MSYS shell.
We use a script called `mklldeps.py` to run `llvm-config` to generate a list
of LLVM libraries and native dependencies needed by LLVM, but all cross-compiled
LLVM builds were using the *host triple's* `llvm-config` instead of the
*target's* `llvm-config`. This commit alters this to require the right
`llvmdeps.rs` to be generated which will run the correct `llvm-config`.
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
The code takes a prefix of the MD5 hash of the version string.
Since the hash command differs across GNU and BSD platforms, we scan for
the right one in the configure script.
Closes#25007

Then, decouple the question of whether the compiler/stdlib carry
debuginfo (which is controlled via `--enable-debuginfo` and implied by
`--enable-debug`) from the question of whether the tests carry
debuginfo (which now no longer is implied by `--enable-debug` nor
`--enable-debuginfo`, and is off by default).
These commits build on [some great work on reddit](http://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/33boew/weekend_experiment_link_rust_programs_against/) for adding MUSL support to the compiler. This goal of this PR is to enable a `--target x86_64-unknown-linux-musl` argument to the compiler to work A-OK. The outcome here is that there are 0 compile-time dependencies for a MUSL-targeting build *except for a linker*. Currently this also assumes that MUSL is being used for statically linked binaries so there is no support for dynamically linked binaries with MUSL.
MUSL support largely just entailed munging around with the linker and where libs are located, and the major highlights are:
* The entirety of `libc.a` is included in `liblibc.rlib` (statically included as an archive).
* The entirety of `libunwind.a` is included in `libstd.rlib` (like with liblibc).
* The target specification for MUSL passes a number of ... flavorful options! Each option is documented in the relevant commit.
* The entire test suite currently passes with MUSL as a target, except for:
* Dynamic linking tests are all ignored as it's not supported with MUSL
* Stack overflow detection is not working MUSL yet (I'm not sure why)
* There is a language change included in this PR to add a `target_env` `#[cfg]` directive. This is used to conditionally build code for only MUSL (or for linux distros not MUSL). I highly suspect that this will also be used by Windows to target MSVC instead of a MinGW-based toolchain.
To build a compiler targeting MUSL you need to follow these steps:
1. Clone the current MUSL repo from `git://git.musl-libc.org/musl`. Build this as usual and install it.
2. Clone and build LLVM's [libcxxabi](http://libcxxabi.llvm.org/) library. Only the `libunwind.a` artifact is needed. I have tried using upstream libunwind's source repo but I have not gotten unwinding to work with it unfortunately. Move `libunwind.a` adjacent to MUSL's `libc.a`
3. Configure a Rust checkout with `--target=x86_64-unknown-linux-musl --musl-root=$MUSL_ROOT` where `MUSL_ROOT` is where you installed MUSL in step 1.
I hope to improve building a copy of libunwind as it's still a little sketchy and difficult to do today, but other than that everything should "just work"! This PR is not intended to include 100% comprehensive support for MUSL, as future modifications will probably be necessary.
There were a few test cases to fix:
* Dynamic libraries are not supported with MUSL right now, so all of those
related test which force or require dylibs are ignored.
* Looks like the default stack for MUSL is smaller than glibc, so a few stack
allocations in benchmarks were boxed up (shouldn't have a perf impact).
* Some small linkage tweaks here and there
* Out-of-stack detection does not currently work with MUSL
This commit adds support to the makefiles, configuration script, and build
system to understand MUSL. This is broken up into a few parts:
* Any target of the form `*-musl` requires the `--musl-root` option to
`./configure` which will indicate the root of the MUSL installation. It is
also expected that there is a libunwind build inside of that installation
built against that MUSL.
* Objects from MUSL are copied into the build tree for Rust to be statically
linked into the appropriate Rust library.
* Objects for binary startup and shutdown are included in each Rust installation
by default for MUSL. This requires MUSL to only be installed on the machine
compiling rust. Only a linker will be necessary for compiling against MUSL on
a target machine.
Eventually a MUSL and/or libunwind build may be integrated by default into the
build but for now they are just always assumed to exist externally.
In most places in mk/tests.mk, it's positioned after rpass-full and
before cfail-full (because rfail comes before cfail). The order of tests
seems a little inconsistent, but reordering everywhere would obscure this
commit.
This required fixing the `pretty-rpass-full` tests to have the same `$$(CSREQ$(1)_T_$(2)_H_$(3))` dependencies as the `rpass-full` and `cfail-full` tests. It also required fixing the `run-make/simd-ffi` test to use unique names for its output files.
The current code attempts to define the
PRETTY_DEPS$(1)_H_$(3)_pretty-rpass-full variable, which does not work,
because $(1) and $(3) are not inside a function. Moreover, there is a test
(run-pass-fulldeps/compiler-calls.rs) that uses rustc_driver, which is not
an indirect dependency of librustc or libsyntax. Listing all the
dependencies will be hard to maintain, but there's a better way to do
this...
As with the rpass-full and cfail-full tests, add dependencies using the
$$(CSREQ$(1)_T_$(3)_H_$(3)) variable, which includes the complete set of
host and target crates, built for a particular stage and host. We use
T_$(3), not T_$(2), because we only build LLVM for host triples (not
target triples), so we can only build rustc_llvm for host triples. The
fulldeps tests that use plugins need host rustc crates, whereas fulldeps
tests that link against rustc and run should be skipped for
cross-compilation (such as Android).
Fixes#22021
Instead of rustc-1.0.0-beta-$triple.tar.gz, betas will be named
rustc-beta-$triple.tar.gz. This will give betas a stable download
URL, prevent old artifacts from accumulating in the dist server's
root directory, and not require the website to be updated every
beta.
As a tradeoff, it will be harder to download previous betas because
they will need to be located in the archives.

1. renames libunicode to librustc_unicode,
2. deprecates several pieces of libunicode (see below), and
3. removes references to deprecated functions from
librustc_driver and libsyntax. This may change pretty-printed
output from these modules in cases involving wide or combining
characters used in filenames, identifiers, etc.
The following functions are marked deprecated:
1. char.width() and str.width():
--> use unicode-width crate
2. str.graphemes() and str.grapheme_indices():
--> use unicode-segmentation crate
3. str.nfd_chars(), str.nfkd_chars(), str.nfc_chars(), str.nfkc_chars(),
char.compose(), char.decompose_canonical(), char.decompose_compatible(),
char.canonical_combining_class():
--> use unicode-normalization crate

This commit series starts out with more official test harness support for rustdoc tests, and then each commit afterwards adds a test (where appropriate). Each commit should also test and finish independently of all others (they're all pretty separable).
I've uploaded a [copy of the documentation](http://people.mozilla.org/~acrichton/doc/std/) generated after all these commits were applied, and a double check on issues being closed would be greatly appreciated! I'll also browse the docs a bit and make sure nothing regressed too horribly.
This commit ceases documentation-by-default of crates such as `term`,
`serialize`, and `alloc`. Crates like `term` and `rand` have duplicates on
`crates.io` and the search index entries generated in the local tree end up
only leading to confusion. Crates like the entire compiler infrastructure,
`flate`, or `rbml` don't need to be documented in such a prominent location.
This change also means that doc tests will no longer be run for crates beyond
the facade (e.g. `serialize` or `term`), but there were very few doc tests in
there to begin with.
Closes#22168
Add a new test directory called 'rustdoc' where all files inside are documented
and run against the `htmldocck` script to have assertions about the output.
Rationale for this, is that I lurked `ulimit -c unlimited` into my .profile to debug an unrelated crash, that I kept forgetting to set before hand. I then ran the test suite and discovered that I had 150 gigs of core dumps in `/cores`.
Very open to another approach, or to setting the limit to something higher than 0, but I think it would be nice if the build system tried to save you from yourself here.
This saves a bunch of a time and will make distributions smaller, as well as
avoiding filling the implementors page with internal garbage. Turn it back on
with `--enable-compiler-docs` if you want them.
(Crates behind the facade are not documented at all)

The RUST_TARGET_STAGE_N rule uses LLVM_LIBDIR_RUSTFLAGS_<target-triple>,
which expands to -L "$(llvm-config --libdir)" when the target-triple is
also a host-triple. Rather than expand to -L "" if llvm-config has not yet
been built, add a dependency on the target llvm-config.

This commit is an implementation of [RFC 563][rfc] which adds a new
`cfg(debug_assertions)` directive which is specially recognized and calculated
by the compiler. The flag is turned off at any optimization level greater than 1
and may also be explicitly controlled through the `-C debug-assertions`
flag.
[rfc]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/563
The `debug_assert!` and `debug_assert_eq!` macros now respect this instead of
the `ndebug` variable and `ndebug` no longer holds any meaning to the standard
library.
Code which was previously relying on `not(ndebug)` to gate expensive code should
be updated to rely on `debug_assertions` instead.

[breaking-change]
This commit deprecates the majority of std::old_io::fs in favor of std::fs and
its new functionality. Some functions remain non-deprecated but are now behind a
feature gate called `old_fs`. These functions will be deprecated once
suitable replacements have been implemented.
The compiler has been migrated to new `std::fs` and `std::path` APIs where
appropriate as part of this change.
Strategy: If the end goal is to touch e.g. `stamp.std`, then we first
touch `stamp.std.start_time` before doing anything else. Then when
the receipe finishes, we touch `stamp.std` using the timestamp from
`stamp.std.start_time` as the reference time, and remove
`stamp.std.start_time`.
Fix#6518.
This pulls out the implementations of most built-in lints into a
separate crate, to reduce edit-compile-test iteration times with
librustc_lint and increase parallelism. This should enable lints to be
refactored, added and deleted much more easily as it slashes the
edit-compile cycle to get a minimal working compiler to test with (`make
rustc-stage1`) from
librustc -> librustc_typeck -> ... -> librustc_driver ->
libcore -> ... -> libstd
to
librustc_lint -> librustc_driver -> libcore -> ... libstd
which is significantly faster, mainly due to avoiding the librustc build
itself.
The intention would be to move as much as possible of the infrastructure
into the crate too, but the plumbing is deeply intertwined with librustc
itself at the moment. Also, there are lints for which diagnostics are
registered directly in the compiler code, not in their own crate
traversal, and their definitions have to remain in librustc.
This is a [breaking-change] for direct users of the compiler APIs:
callers of `rustc::session::build_session` or
`rustc::session::build_session_` need to manually call
`rustc_lint::register_builtins` on their return value.
This should make #22206 easier.
After making `rustc` fail on errors at a stop point, like `-Z parse-only`, in #22117, the files in this PR also fail during the parse stage and should be moved as well. Sorry for spliting this move up in two PRs.

`cp -a` is a GNU extension. Use an alternate combinaison of POSIX options
(`-PRp`) that do nearly the same.
The difference is `-a` will preserve context, links and xattr attributes,
whereas `-p` not. But as we use it only for copy a file, there is no
difference in the current context.
This is a patch for #22291.
PLEASE_BENCH=1 adds --bench to the arguments passed to the executable to be tested. At the moment, compiletest does not accept a --bench argument, because it is not needed for any test in src/test/, even the tests in src/test/bench do not use #[bench].
I have updated the makefile to only add the --bench flag for crate tests. I do not think that changing compiletest add --bench to the run arguments of all compile tests makes sense, because it would mess up tests which check command line arguments. Also the bench option can be added as comment in a compile test as well.
Highlights:
* Adds an 'uninstall.sh' script to `/usr/local/lib/rustlib/uninstall.sh`, the path to which is printed during installation.
* Components can be deselected during install, like `install.sh --without=rust-docs`.
* Components can be listed with `install.sh --list-components`.
* Vastly reduces spew during install (but supporting a `--verbose` option).

This adds a new lexer/parser combo for the entire Rust language can be generated with with flex and bison, taken from my project at https://github.com/bleibig/rust-grammar. There is also a testing script that runs the generated parser with all *.rs files in the repository (except for tests in compile-fail or ones that marked as "ignore-test" or "ignore-lexer-test"). If you have flex and bison installed, you can run these tests using the new "check-grammar" make target.
This does not depend on or interact with the existing testing code in the grammar, which only provides and tests a lexer specification.
OS X users should take note that the version of bison that comes with the Xcode toolchain (2.3) is too old to work with this grammar, they need to download and install version 3.0 or later.
The parser builds up an S-expression-based AST, which can be displayed by giving the "-v" argument to parser-lalr (normally it only gives output on error). It is only a rough approximation of what is parsed and doesn't capture every detail and nuance of the program.
Hopefully this should be sufficient for issue #2234, or at least a good starting point.
The regex library was largely used for non-critical aspects of the compiler and
various external tooling. The library at this point is duplicated with its
out-of-tree counterpart and as such imposes a bit of a maintenance overhead as
well as compile time hit for the compiler itself.
The last major user of the regex library is the libtest library, using regexes
for filters when running tests. This removal means that the filtering has gone
back to substring matching rather than using regexes.
Initial support for aarch64-linux-android (#18920)

- Modify some options to compile & link succesfully.

- To build, refer to https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/wiki/Doc-building-for-android.
(tested with platform=21 and toolchain=aarch64-linux-android-4.9)
This does the bare minimum to make registration of error codes work again. After this patch, every call to `span_err!` with an error code gets that error code validated against a list in that crate and a new tidy script `errorck.py` validates that no error codes are duplicated globally.
There are further improvements to be made yet, detailed in #19624.

Removed use of unused LDPATH variable on Windows as is done for other platforms, and added GCC flag to ensure MINGW's ANSI compatible STDIO functions are used wherever available (required by jemalloc).
Without these changes it ends up setting the PATH twice, and the second time the PATH begins with `:` which is invalid. Also the regular msvcrt printf-like functions would be used which don't understand stuff like %hhd and %z which jemalloc uses.
This change ought not to make any difference to the output but it fixes the build process for me since at least my build environment couldn't handle that broken path caused by LDPATH being empty.

Would really love to get this out before 1.0. r? @alexcrichton
There is likely to be new users with the alpha release, and there are a lot of documents on the internet (StackOverflow, reddit, blogs) that refer to these guides, so emitting a more helpful error than "404" is nice. Hence, I've temporarily reinstated stub documents for each of the old guides, referring to as relevant a part of the book as possible.
Also, rustbook was silently ignoring some errors, which lead to an inconsistency with directory creation/file writing. This meant the CSS file was not being written if no `doc` directory existed in the users build dir (e.g. the buildbots). This should mean that the CSS will appear automatically in later builds.
Without this, rustbook was failing because it was expecting the
directory to exist. (Previously, rustbook was just silently failing to
install the CSS files due to this.)
There are hundreds of stackoverflow answers, reddit posts and blog
articles that link to these documents, so it's a nicer user experience
if they're not plain 404s.
The intention is to let these hang around only for relatively short
while. The alpha is likely to bring in many new users and they will be
reading the documents mentioned above.
This pulls all of our long-form documentation into a single document,
nicknamed "the book" and formally titled "The Rust Programming
Language."
A few things motivated this change:
* People knew of The Guide, but not the individual Guides. This merges
them together, helping discoverability.
* You can get all of Rust's longform documentation in one place, which
is nice.
* We now have rustbook in-tree, which can generate this kind of
documentation. While its style is basic, the general idea is much
better: a table of contents on the left-hand side.
* Rather than a almost 10,000-line guide.md, there are now smaller files
per section.
This partially implements the feature staging described in the
[release channel RFC][rc]. It does not yet fully conform to the RFC as
written, but does accomplish its goals sufficiently for the 1.0 alpha
release.
It has three primary user-visible effects:
* On the nightly channel, use of unstable APIs generates a warning.
* On the beta channel, use of unstable APIs generates a warning.
* On the beta channel, use of feature gates generates a warning.
Code that does not trigger these warnings is considered 'stable',
modulo pre-1.0 bugs.
Disabling the warnings for unstable APIs continues to be done in the
existing (i.e. old) style, via `#[allow(...)]`, not that specified in
the RFC. I deem this marginally acceptable since any code that must do
this is not using the stable dialect of Rust.
Use of feature gates is itself gated with the new 'unstable_features'
lint, on nightly set to 'allow', and on beta 'warn'.
The attribute scheme used here corresponds to an older version of the
RFC, with the `#[staged_api]` crate attribute toggling the staging
behavior of the stability attributes, but the user impact is only
in-tree so I'm not concerned about having to make design changes later
(and I may ultimately prefer the scheme here after all, with the
`#[staged_api]` crate attribute).
Since the Rust codebase itself makes use of unstable features the
compiler and build system to a midly elaborate dance to allow it to
bootstrap while disobeying these lints (which would otherwise be
errors because Rust builds with `-D warnings`).
This patch includes one significant hack that causes a
regression. Because the `format_args!` macro emits calls to unstable
APIs it would trigger the lint. I added a hack to the lint to make it
not trigger, but this in turn causes arguments to `println!` not to be
checked for feature gates. I don't presently understand macro
expansion well enough to fix. This is bug #20661.

After 8b3c67690c the `make install`
command fails if docs are not disabled through CFG_DISABLE_DOCS,
because now the `install` target uses
../../tmp/dist/$(DOC_PKG_NAME)-$(CFG_BUILD)/install.sh
Instead of explicitly depending on
dist/$(PKG_NAME)-$(CFG_BUILD).tar.gz, the `prepare_[un]install`
targets now depend on `dist-tar-bins`, which packages the appropriate
dist archives depending on the configuration.
This removes a large array of deprecated functionality, regardless of how
recently it was deprecated. The purpose of this commit is to clean out the
standard libraries and compiler for the upcoming alpha release.
Some notable compiler changes were to enable warnings for all now-deprecated
command line arguments (previously the deprecated versions were silently
accepted) as well as removing deriving(Zero) entirely (the trait was removed).
The distribution no longer contains the libtime or libregex_macros crates. Both
of these have been deprecated for some time and are available externally.

In 714a2c678c the `prepare_install`

Adds a new 'beta cycle' variable that can be appended to the '-beta' version label, e.g. '-beta1'. Changes the version label for the beta channel temporarily to 'alpha'. Changes the artifact name of the beta channel to contain the version number instead of just being called 'beta'. The beta cycle number is currently set to 1.
The impact of this is that the first alphas will be called '1.0.0-alpha1' and the artifacts will also be called '1.0.0-alpha1-*.tar.gz'. We could alternately leave out the cycle number if we are confident there will be only one alpha cycle.

This distributes docs in a separate package called rust-docs. The rust-packaging
project will combine it with Rust and Cargo into a single installer in a variety of formats.
I would like to look into some issues related to the model lexer #15883.
I stumbled upon 2 minor problems when I tried running the lexer tests:
* antlr did not put the generated files in the correct directory
* grammer/verify.rs did not work with the most recent version of rust
With these changes (and setting CLASSPATH=/usr/share/java/antlr-4.4-complete.jar:$CLASSPATH) I was able to execute the tests.
Note that I just fixed the syntax errors and added `None` as 2. argument of `Literal`. I am not sure if this is correct however. I still have to take a closer look at what verify.rs actually does. Are there any helpful pointers?
These crates are all deprecated for their rust-lang/$crate equivalents and by
generating docs we're generating broken links. The documentation for these
crates are generated out-of-tree and are managed separately, so we're not losing
the documentation altogether, just the links from the main distribution's docs.
Closes#20096
It's quite possible that small programs don't use all of jemalloc, and building
with -ffunction-sections and -fdata-sections allows the linker (via
--gc-sections) to strip out all unused code at link time. This decreases the
size of a "hello world" executable for me from 716K to 482K with no measurable
impact on link time. After this patch jemalloc is still the largest portion of
our hello world executables, but this helps cut down on the size at least
somewhat!

In the HTML version of the documentation, it isn't rendered so might as well use the unicode representation.
Part of the problem was that putting a math unicode character wasn't
rendering properly in the pdf, so extra steps were needed to define
the unicode charecter ⊥ in reference.tex

This commit merges the `rustrt` crate into `std`, undoing part of the
facade. This merger continues the paring down of the runtime system.
Code relying on the public API of `rustrt` will break; some of this API
is now available through `std::rt`, but is likely to change and/or be
removed very soon.

If you configure with `--disable-docs`, the `doc` directory does not get generated, so
`cp -r doc dist/` fails when you `make dist{,-tar-bins,-doc}` or `make install`
Fix `make TAGS.emacs`.
@nikomatsakis has been complaining to me about this. (I had not noticed since I drive `ctags` with a separate script.)
(Suitable for a rollup build.)
Makes a couple changes that support the implementation of a REPL:
* Implementation of wrapper code for LLVM ExecutionEngine API
* Fixing a change I made earlier to reset compiler state in `phase_1_[...]`
instead of `compile_input` as the latter is not used in a REPL
- Support gcc-less installation on Windows. To do so in unattended mode run:`<intaller>.exe /TYPE=compact /SILENT`.
- Do not require admin privileges to install.

This is a work in progress, but this should get *extensive* review, so I'm putting it up early and often.
This is the start of a draft of the new 'ownership guide,' which explains ownership, borrowing, etc. I'm feeling better about this framing than last time's, but we'll see.
I stumbled across this today, and it's not really working. It's been around for a very, very long time, and seems to be based on stuff we don't even have anymore.
I asked in `#rust-internals`, and @cmr said we should just kill it, so here I am. :) I don't think that anything else uses Java, but maybe I missed something.
And if this _isn't_ what we want, I'm fine with closing too. Just some housekeeping.
This patch merges the `libsync` crate into `libstd`, undoing part of the
facade. This is in preparation for ultimately merging `librustrt`, as
well as the upcoming rewrite of `sync`.
Because this removes the `libsync` crate, it is a:
[breaking-change]
However, all uses of `libsync` should be able to reroute through
`std::sync` and `std::comm` instead.
This is a collection of misc issues I've run into while adding bindir & libdir support that aren't really bindir & libdir specific.
While I continue to fiddle with bindir and libdir bugs, I figured these might be useful for others to have merged.
Right now we'll end up globbing them into the accepted targets and (ever worse) they will override the make variables of real target files because we `include`d everything in that directory.
As a side effect, editors get a better hint on file types.
Fixies #11671
This commit changes default relative libdir 'lib' to a relative libdir calculated using LIBDIR provided by --libdir configuration option. In case if no option was provided behavior does not change.
We add CFG_LLVM_TARGET_$(target) (which can be defined in any of the
mk/cfg/* files) and supply a default to the plain target name
CFG_LLVM_TARGET mirrors the value of llvm_target (aka llvm-target) in
the librustc_back runtime target specification.
Without this, if we we're using a non-standard host libdir, the target
bindir would not exist (and rustc would fail to write to the
non-existent directory).
If the expected rustc snapshot is not where we expect it to be,
complain and fail at that point rather than creating a empty rustc file
and continuing until we try to run it.
Futureproof Rust for fancier suffixed literals. The Rust compiler tokenises a literal followed immediately (no whitespace) by an identifier as a single token: (for example) the text sequences `"foo"bar`, `1baz` and `1u1024` are now a single token rather than the pairs `"foo"` `bar`, `1` `baz` and `1u` `1024` respectively.
The compiler rejects all such suffixes in the parser, except for the 12 numeric suffixes we have now.
I'm fairly sure this will affect very few programs, since it's not currently legal to have `<literal><identifier>` in a Rust program, except in a macro invocation. Any macro invocation relying on this behaviour can simply separate the two tokens with whitespace: `foo!("bar"baz)` becomes `foo!("bar" baz)`.
This implements [RFC 463](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/0463-future-proof-literal-suffixes.md), and so closes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/19088.
Now that we've done `fail` -> `panic`, I feel bringing back the error handling guide is a good idea. We had one long ago, but it was removed when conditions were removed.
This doesn't cover the new FromError stuff, but I feel like it's already useful in this state, so I'm sending this PR now.
- CFG_CFLAGS is gone (it was previously only used by jemalloc anyhow).
- CFG_JEMALLOC_CFLAGS may contain flags needed for the compiler to
function (produce a binary output).
- jemalloc's configure runs $(CC) without EXTRA_CFLAGS, and (without
this change) will fail if any flags are required for CC to work.
not in hardcoded libdir path. If there was no LIBDIR provided
during configuration fallback to hardcoded paths.
Thanks to Jan Niklas Hasse for solution and to Alex Crichton for improvements.
Closes#11671
Commit bec2ee77f7 started quoting paths
discovered as part of the `probe` function, which includes git. The
`make` `wildcard` function appears to be incompatible with quoted
paths so this check in the makefile now fails. Employing `wildcard`
here appears to only re-verify that git actually exists, which the
configure script already did, so I've just removed it.
Additionally, with the quoted paths the `subst` function should no
longer be needed, so I've removed it as well.
Closes#18771
1. Introduce `putpathvar` function that prints variable shell-quoted by using `%q` format specifier. This function is used within `probe` to save the result into `config.tmp`.
2. Removes search-and-replace pattern that transforms `\` into `/` as it messes up shell-quoted strings.
To make progress on #18585 we're paring down the distribution to theoretically
"only libstd", and this commit makes progress on this by removing the rlibc
crate from the distribution.
The crate has now been moved into an external cargo package located in the rust
lang organization [1]. This is a breaking change due to this removal, and
existing crates depending on `rlibc` should use the Cargo crate instead.

Right now the windows nightlies are failing because they're encountering a
linker error when producing stage3 libs. The stage3 libs aren't actually used in
general, and we primarily just want to generate a static stage3 binary, not
static stage3 dylibs.
If a dylib is being produced, the compiler will now first check to see if it can
be created entirely statically before falling back to dynamic dependencies. This
behavior can be overridden with `-C prefer-dynamic`.
Due to the alteration in behavior, this is a breaking change. Any previous users
relying on dylibs implicitly maximizing dynamic dependencies should start
passing `-C prefer-dynamic` to compilations.

Removes all target-specific knowledge from rustc. Some targets have changed
during this, but none of these should be very visible outside of
cross-compilation. The changes make our targets more consistent.
iX86-unknown-linux-gnu is now only available as i686-unknown-linux-gnu. We
used to accept any value of X greater than 1. i686 was released in 1995, and
should encompass the bare minimum of what Rust supports on x86 CPUs.
The only two windows targets are now i686-pc-windows-gnu and
x86_64-pc-windows-gnu.
The iOS target has been renamed from arm-apple-ios to arm-apple-darwin.
A complete list of the targets we accept now:
arm-apple-darwin
arm-linux-androideabi
arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi
arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf
i686-apple-darwin
i686-pc-windows-gnu
i686-unknown-freebsd

When building for multiple targets, the initial 'make' invocation
always fails. The missing build stamp causes clean-llvm to be
invoked, but clean-llvm cleans *all* llvm builds. So what happens
is that 1) all llvm's are cleaned (a no-op), 2) llvm-${target1}
builds, 3) all llvm's are cleaned (deleting llvm-${target1}),
4) llvm-${target2} is built, 5) the remaining build for ${target1}
fails because llvm does not exist.
This makes the clean operation only clean the correct llvm build.
Should greatly reduce bot failures.
Enable parallel codegen (2 units) by default when --opt-level is 0 or 1. This
gives a minor speedup on large crates (~10%), with only a tiny slowdown (~2%)
for small ones (which usually build in under a second regardless). The current
default (no parallelization) is used when the user requests optimization
(--opt-level 2 or 3), and when the user has enabled LTO (which is incompatible
with parallel codegen).
This commit also changes the rust build system to use parallel codegen
when appropriate. This means codegen-units=4 for stage0 always, and
also for stage1 and stage2 when configured with --disable-optimize.
(Other settings use codegen-units=1 for stage1 and stage2, to get
maximum performance for release binaries.) The build system also sets
codegen-units=1 for compiletest tests (compiletest does its own
parallelization) and uses the same setting as stage2 for crate tests.
All of these crates have been deprecated for some time and properly live in the
rust-lang organization as cargo-based crates.
To update your code, depend on the rust-lang/foo repository via cargo.

When running `sudo make install`, we only want to run the actual install
as root, the building of the documentation and the distribution folder
should happen as the non-root user.

----
To reproduce issue on commit ba246100ca
it does not suffice to add just `check-build-compiletest` to
`check-secondary`; one must also ensure that `check-build-compiletest`
precedes the satisification of the `check` rule.
Otherwise hidden dependencies of `compiletest` would end up getting
satisfied when make builds `rustc` at each stage in order to
eventually run `check-stage2`.
So to handle that I moved `check-secondary` before `check` in the
`check-all` rule that bors uses, and for good measure, I also put
`check-build-compiltest` at the front of the `check-secondary` rule's
dependencies.
My understanding is that running `check-secondary` should be
relatively cheap, and thus such a reordering will not hurt bors.

Fix#17883.
compiletest needs to link to native crate, or at least the `rt` library.
(I tried using a dependency on `rustrt` instead, and that did not resolve the problem. But this does.)
Partially addresses #17883
