Ignore `core`, `alloc` and `test` tests that require unwinding on `-C panic=abort` Some of the tests for `core` and `alloc` require unwinding through their use of `catch_unwind`. These tests fail when testing using `-C panic=abort` (in my case through a target without unwinding support, and `-Z panic-abort-tests`), while they should be ignored as they don't indicate a failure. This PR marks all of these tests with this attribute: ```rust #[cfg_attr(not(panic = "unwind"), ignore = "test requires unwinding support")] ``` I'm not aware of a way to test this on rust-lang/rust's CI, as we don't test any target with `-C panic=abort`, but I tested this locally on a Ferrocene target and it does indeed make the test suite pass. |

Cranelift codegen backend for rust
The goal of this project is to create an alternative codegen backend for the rust compiler based on Cranelift. This has the potential to improve compilation times in debug mode. If your project doesn't use any of the things listed under "Not yet supported", it should work fine. If not please open an issue.
Building and testing
$ git clone https://github.com/bjorn3/rustc_codegen_cranelift
$ cd rustc_codegen_cranelift
$ ./y.rs prepare
$ ./y.rs build
To run the test suite replace the last command with:
$ ./test.sh
For more docs on how to build and test see build_system/usage.txt or the help message of ./y.rs.
Alternatively you can download a pre built version from the releases page.
Usage
rustc_codegen_cranelift can be used as a near-drop-in replacement for cargo build or cargo run for existing projects.
Assuming $cg_clif_dir is the directory you cloned this repo into and you followed the instructions (y.rs prepare and y.rs build or test.sh).
In the directory with your project (where you can do the usual cargo build), run:
$ $cg_clif_dir/dist/cargo-clif build
This will build your project with rustc_codegen_cranelift instead of the usual LLVM backend.
For additional ways to use rustc_codegen_cranelift like the JIT mode see usage.md.
Building and testing with changes in rustc code
This is useful when changing code in rustc_codegen_cranelift as part of changing main Rust repository.
This can happen, for example, when you are implementing a new compiler intrinsic.
Instruction below uses $RustCheckoutDir as substitute for any folder where you cloned Rust repository.
You need to do this steps to successfully compile and use the cranelift backend with your changes in rustc code:
cd $RustCheckoutDir- Run
python x.py setupand choose option for compiler (b). - Build compiler and necessary tools:
python x.py build --stage=2 compiler library/std src/tools/rustdoc src/tools/rustfmt- (Optional) You can also build cargo by adding
src/tools/cargoto previous command.
- (Optional) You can also build cargo by adding
- Copy exectutable files from
./build/host/stage2-tools/<your hostname triple>/releaseto./build/host/stage2/bin/. Note that you would need to do this every time you rebuiltrustrepository. - Copy cargo from another toolchain:
cp $(rustup which cargo) .build/<your hostname triple>/stage2/bin/cargo- Another option is to build it at step 3 and copy with other executables at step 4.
- Link your new
rustcto toolchain:rustup toolchain link stage2 ./build/host/stage2/. - (Windows only) compile y.rs:
rustc +stage2 -O y.rs. - You need to prefix every
./y.rs(oryif you builty.rs) command byrustup run stage2to make cg_clif use your local changes in rustc.
rustup run stage2 ./y.rs preparerustup run stage2 ./y.rs build- (Optional) run tests:
rustup run stage2 ./y.rs test
- Now you can use your cg_clif build to compile other Rust programs, e.g. you can open any Rust crate and run commands like
$RustCheckoutDir/compiler/rustc_codegen_cranelift/dist/cargo-clif build --release.
Configuration
See the documentation on the BackendConfig struct in config.rs for all
configuration options.
