"Handle" calls to upstream monomorphizations in compiler_builtins This is pretty cooked, but I think it works. compiler-builtins has a long-standing problem that at link time, its rlib cannot contain any calls to `core`. And yet, in codegen we _love_ inserting calls to symbols in `core`, generally from various panic entrypoints. I intend this PR to attack that problem as completely as possible. When we generate a function call, we now check if we are generating a function call from `compiler_builtins` and whether the callee is a function which was not lowered in the current crate, meaning we will have to link to it. If those conditions are met, actually generating the call is asking for a linker error. So we don't. If the callee diverges, we lower to an abort with the same behavior as `core::intrinsics::abort`. If the callee does not diverge, we produce an error. This means that compiler-builtins can contain panics, but they'll SIGILL instead of panicking. I made non-diverging calls a compile error because I'm guessing that they'd mostly get into compiler-builtins by someone making a mistake while working on the crate, and compile errors are better than linker errors. We could turn such calls into aborts as well if that's preferred.
This directory contains some source code for the Rust project, including:
- The bootstrapping build system
- Various submodules for tools, like cargo, tidy, etc.
