To correctly reexport statically included libraries from a DLL on Windows, the
compiler will soon need to have knowledge about what symbols are statically
included and which are not. To solve this problem a new unstable
`#[linked_from]` attribute is being added and recognized on `extern` blocks to
indicate which native library the symbols are coming from.
The compiler then keeps track of what the set of FFI symbols are that are
included statically. This information will be used in a future commit to
configure how we invoke the linker on Windows.
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 stabilizes the `std::time` module and the `Duration` type.
`Duration::span` remains unstable, and the `Display` implementation for
`Duration` has been removed as it is still being reworked and all trait
implementations for stable types are de facto stable.
This is a [breaking-change] to those using `Duration`'s `Display`
implementation.
This is a temporary workaround for the bugs that have been found in
the implementation of PR #26173.
* pnkfelix is unavailable in the short-term (i.e. for the next week) to fix them.
* When the bugs are fixed, we will turn this back on by default.
(If you want to play with the known-to-be-buggy optimization in the
meantime, you can opt-back in via the debugging option that this
commit is toggling.)
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)

LLVM might perform tail merging on the calls that initiate the unwinding
process which breaks debuginfo and therefore this test. Since tail
merging is guaranteed to break debuginfo, it should be disabled for this
test.
This allows us to restore a testcase that I had to remove earlier
because of the same problem, because back then I didn't realize that
disabling tail merging was an option.

The replacements are functions that usually use a single `mem::transmute` in their body and restrict input and output via more concrete types than `T` and `U`. Worth noting are the `transmute` functions for slices and the `from_utf8*` family for mutable slices. Additionally, `mem::transmute` was often used for casting raw pointers, when you can already cast raw pointers just fine with `as`.
This builds upon #27233.
The investigation into #14232 discovered that it's possible that signal delivery
to a newly spawned process is racy on OSX. This test has been failing spuriously
on the OSX bots for some time now, so ignore it as we don't currently know a
solution and it looks like it may be out of our control.
As noted in my previous PR #27439 , the import resolution algorithm has two cases where it bails out:
- The algorithm will delay an import if the module containing the target of the import still has unresolved glob imports
- The algorithm will delay a glob import of the target module still has unresolved imports
This PR alters the behaviour to only bail out when the above described unresolved imports are `pub`, as non-pub imports don't affect the result anyway.
It is still possible to fail the algorithm with examples like
```rust
pub mod a {
pub use b::*;
}
pub mod b {
pub use a::*;
}
```
but such configurations cannot be resolved in any meaningful way, as these are cyclic imports.
Closes#4865
See line 181: The lookup should start with the random index and iterate from there.
Also locked stdout (which makes it a bit faster on my machine).
Perhaps the multi-thread output from the fasta benchmark could be used to speed it up even more.
New enough find on Linux doesn't support "-perm +..." and suggests
using "-perm /..." instead, but that doesn't work on Windows.
Hopefully all platforms are happy with this expanded version.
