- Add a changelog and instructions for updating it
- Use `changelog-seen` in `config.toml` and `VERSION` in bootstrap to determine whether the changelog has been read
- Nag people if they haven't read the x.py changelog
+ Print message twice to make sure it's seen
- Give different error messages depending on whether the version needs to be updated or added
- Allow including defaults in `src/bootstrap/defaults` using `profile = "..."`
- Add default config files
- Combine config files using the merge dependency.
- Add comments to default config files
- Add a README asking to open an issue if the defaults are bad
- Give a loud error if trying to merge `.target`, since it's not
currently supported
- Use an exhaustive match
- Use `<none>` in config.toml.example to avoid confusion
- Fix bugs in `Merge` derives
Previously, it would completely ignore the profile defaults if there
were any settings in `config.toml`. I sent an email to the `merge` maintainer
asking them to make the behavior in this commit the default.
This introduces a new dependency on `merge` that hasn't yet been vetted.
I want to improve the output when `include = "x"` isn't found:
```
thread 'main' panicked at 'fs::read_to_string(&file) failed with No such file or directory (os error 2) ("configuration file did not exist")', src/bootstrap/config.rs:522:28
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace
failed to run: /home/joshua/rustc/build/bootstrap/debug/bootstrap test tidy
Build completed unsuccessfully in 0:00:00
```
However that seems like it could be fixed in a follow-up.
Make the default stage for x.py configurable
This also allows configuring each sub-command individually.
Possibly #76617 should land before this? I don't feel strongly either way, I don't mind waiting.
Closes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/76165.
r? `@Mark-Simulacrum`
This allows configuring the default stage for each sub-command individually.
- Normalize the stage as early as possible, so there's no confusion
about which to use.
- Don't add an explicit `stage` option in config.toml
This offers no more flexibility than `*_stage` and makes it confusing
which takes precedence.
- Always give `--stage N` precedence over config.toml
- Fix bootstrap tests
This changes the tests to go through `Config::parse` so that they test
the actual defaults, not the dummy ones provided by `default_opts`. To
make this workable (and independent of the environment), it does not
read `config.toml` for tests.
Add a dedicated debug-logging option to config.toml
`@Mark-Simulacrum` and I were talking in zulip and we found that turning on debug/trace logging in rustc is fairly confusing, as it effectively depends on debug-assertions and is not documented as such. `@Mark-Simulacrum` mentioned that we should probably have a separate option for logging anyways.
this diff adds that, having the option follow debug-assertions (so everyone's existing config.toml should be fine) and if the option is false
to test I ran ./x.py test <something> twice, once with `debug-logging = false` and once with `debug-logging = true` and made sure i only saw trace's when it was true
Previously, the CLI --target/--host definitions and configured options differed
in their effect: when setting these on the CLI, only the passed triples would be
compiled for, while in config.toml we would also compile for the build triple
and any host triples. This is needlessly confusing; users expect --target and
--host to be identical to editing the configuration file.
The new behavior is to respect --host and --target when passed as the *only*
configured triples (no triples are implicitly added). The default for --host is
the build triple, and the default for --target is the host triple(s), either
configured or the default build triple.
rustbuild: Build tests with LLD if `use-lld = true` was passed
Addresses https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/76127#discussion_r479932392.
Our test suite is generally ready to run with an explicitly specified linker (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/45191),
so LLD specified with `use-lld = true` works as well.
Only 4 tests fail (on `x86_64-pc-windows-msvc`):
```
ui/panic-runtime/lto-unwind.rs
run-make-fulldeps/debug-assertions
run-make-fulldeps/foreign-exceptions
run-make-fulldeps/test-harness
```
All of them are legitimate issues with LLD (or at least with combination Rust+LLD) and manifest in segfaults on access to TLS (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/76127#issuecomment-683473325). UPD: These issues are caused by https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/72145 and appear because I had `-Ctarget-cpu=native` set.
UPD: Further commits build tests with LLD for non-MSVC targets and propagate LLD to more places when `use-lld` is enabled.
Move `rustllvm` into `compiler/rustc_llvm`
The `rustllvm` directory is not self-contained, it contains C++ code built by a build script of the `rustc_llvm` crate which is then linked into that crate.
So it makes sense to make `rustllvm` a part of `rustc_llvm` and move it into its directory.
I replaced `rustllvm` with more obvious `llvm-wrapper` as the subdirectory name, but something like `llvm-adapter` would work as well, other suggestions are welcome.
To make things more confusing, the Rust side of FFI functions defined in `rustllvm` can be found in `rustc_codegen_llvm` rather than in `rustc_llvm`. Perhaps they need to be moved as well, but this PR doesn't do that.
The presence of multiple LLVM-related directories in `src` (`llvm-project`, `rustllvm`, `librustc_llvm`, `librustc_codegen_llvm` and their predecessors) historically confused me and made me wonder about their purpose.
With this PR we will have LLVM itself (`llvm-project`), a FFI crate (`rustc_llvm`, kind of `llvm-sys`) and a codegen backend crate using LLVM through the FFI crate (`rustc_codegen_llvm`).
- Use prettier syntax for codegen-units defaults
- Remove comment about parallelism that only made sense for specific
values of codegen-units
- Be more specific about what `verbose-tests` does
Ninja substantially improves LLVM build time. On a 96-way system, using
Make took 248s, and using Ninja took 161s, a 35% improvement.
We already require a variety of tools to build Rust. If someone wants to
build without Ninja (for instance, to minimize the set of packages
required to bootstrap a new target), they can easily set `ninja=false`
in `config.toml`. Our defaults should help people build Rust (and LLVM)
faster, to speed up development.
Improve defaults in x.py
- Make the default stage dependent on the subcommand
- Don't build stage1 rustc artifacts with x.py build --stage 1. If this is what you want, use x.py build --stage 2 instead, which gives you a working libstd.
- Change default debuginfo when debug = true from 2 to 1
I tried to fix CI to use `--stage 2` everywhere it currently has no stage, but I might have missed a spot.
This does not update much of the documentation - most of it is in https://github.com/rust-lang/rustc-dev-guide/ or https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-forge and will need a separate PR.

Anecdotally, this sped up my stage 1 build from 15 to 10 minutes.
This still adds line numbers, it only removes variable and type information.

bootstrap: Configurable musl libdir
Make it possible to customize the location of musl libdir using
musl-libdir in config.toml, e.g., to use lib64 instead of lib.
If config.toml `profiler = false`, the test/mir-opt/instrument_coverage
test is ignored. Otherwise, this patch ensures the profiler_runtime is
loaded when -Zinstrument-coverage is enabled. Confirmed that this works
for MacOS.
Provide separate option for std debug asserts
On local one-off benchmarking of libcore metadata-only, debug asserts in std are a significant hit (15s to 20s). Provide an option for compiler developers to disable them. A build with a nightly compiler is around 10s, for reference.
This allows configuring the directory for build artifacts, instead of having it always be ./build. This means you can set it to a constant location, letting you reuse the same cache while working in several different directories.
The configuration lives in config.toml under build.build-dir. By default, it keeps the existing default of ./build, but it can be configured to any relative or absolute path. Additionally, it allows making outputs relative to the root of the git repository using $ROOT.
Make LLVM version suffix independent of rustc version on dev channel
Remove rustc version from LLVM version suffix on dev channel,
avoiding the need for full rebuilds when switching between
branches with different LLVM submodule & rustc version.
Note: To avoid full rebuild, on subsequent LLVM submodule update, copy the
current value of `LLVM_VERSION_SUFFIX` from `build/*/llvm/build/CMakeCache.txt`,
to `version-suffix` in `config.toml`.
Remove rustc version from LLVM version suffix on dev channel, avoiding
the need for full rebuilds when moving between commits with different

Fixes: #67624
r? @Mark-Simulacrum
This commit builds on #65501 continue to simplify the build system and
compiler now that we no longer have multiple LLVM backends to ship by
default. Here this switches the compiler back to what it once was long
long ago, which is linking LLVM directly to the compiler rather than
dynamically loading it at runtime. The `codegen-backends` directory of
the sysroot no longer exists and all relevant support in the build
system is removed. Note that `rustc` still supports a dynamically loaded
codegen backend as it did previously, it just no longer supports
dynamically loaded codegen backends in its own sysroot.
Additionally as part of this the `librustc_codegen_llvm` crate now once
again explicitly depends on all of its crates instead of implicitly
loading them through the sysroot. This involved filling out its
`Cargo.toml` and deleting all the now-unnecessary `extern crate`
annotations in the header of the crate. (this in turn required adding a
number of imports for names of macros too).
The end results of this change are:
* Rustbuild's build process for the compiler as all the "oh don't forget
the codegen backend" checks can be easily removed.
* Building `rustc_codegen_llvm` is much simpler since it's simply
another compiler crate.
* Managing the dependencies of `rustc_codegen_llvm` is much simpler since
it's "just another `Cargo.toml` to edit"
* The build process should be a smidge faster because there's more
parallelism in the main rustc build step rather than splitting
`librustc_codegen_llvm` out to its own step.
* The compiler is expected to be slightly faster by default because the
codegen backend does not need to be dynamically loaded.
* Disabling LLVM as part of rustbuild is still supported, supporting
multiple codegen backends is still supported, and dynamic loading of a
codegen backend is still supported.
With #65251 landed there's no need to build two LLVM backends and ship
them with rustc, every target we have now uses the same LLVM backend!
This removes the `src/llvm-emscripten` submodule and additionally
removes all support from rustbuild for building the emscripten LLVM
backend. Multiple codegen backend support is left in place for now, and
this is intended to be an easy 10-15 minute win on CI times by avoiding
having to build LLVM twice.
- Compatible with Emscripten 1.38.46-upstream or later upstream.
- Refactors the Emscripten target spec to share code with other wasm
targets.
- Replaces the old incorrect wasm32 C call ABI with the correct one,
preserving the old one as wasm32_bindgen_compat for wasm-bindgen
compatibility.
- Updates the varargs ABI used by Emscripten and deletes the old one.
- Removes the obsolete wasm32-experimental-emscripten target.
- Uses EMCC_CFLAGS on CI to avoid the timeout problems with #63649.
- Refactors the Emscripten target spec to share code with other wasm
targets.
- Replaces the incorrect wasm32 C call ABI with the old asmjs
version, which is correct for both wasm32 and JS.
- Updates the varargs ABI used by Emscripten and deletes the old one.
- Removes the obsolete wasm32-experimental-emscripten target.
- Temporarily makes Emscripten targets use panic=abort by default
because supporting unwinding will require an LLVM patch.
This commit removes the `wasm_syscall` feature from the
wasm32-unknown-unknown build of the standard library. This feature was
originally intended to allow an opt-in way to interact with the
operating system in a posix-like way but it was never stabilized.
Nowadays with the advent of the `wasm32-wasi` target that should
entirely replace the intentions of the `wasm_syscall` feature.
This commit moves RISC-V from the experimental LLVM targets to the
regular LLVM targets. RISC-V was made non-experimental in
https://reviews.llvm.org/rL366399
I have also sorted the list of LLVM targets, and changed the code
around setting llvm_exp_targets (and its default) to match the code
setting llvm_targets (and its default), ensuring future changes to
the defaults, as LLVM targets become stable, affect as few places as
possible.
This renames wasm32-unknown-wasi to wasm32-wasi, omitting the vendor
component. This follows aarch64-linux-android, x86_64-fuchsia, and others in
omitting the vendor field, which has the advantage of aligning with the
[multiarch tuple](https://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/Tuples), and of being
less noisy.
This commit adds a new wasm32-based target distributed through rustup,
supported in the standard library, and implemented in the compiler. The
`wasm32-unknown-wasi` target is intended to be a WebAssembly target
which matches the [WASI proposal recently announced.][LINK]. In summary
the WASI target is an effort to define a standard set of syscalls for
WebAssembly modules, allowing WebAssembly modules to not only be
portable across architectures but also be portable across environments
implementing this standard set of system calls.
The wasi target in libstd is still somewhat bare bones. This PR does not
fill out the filesystem, networking, threads, etc. Instead it only
provides the most basic of integration with the wasi syscalls, enabling
features like:
* `Instant::now` and `SystemTime::now` work
* `env::args` is hooked up
* `env::vars` will look up environment variables
* `println!` will print to standard out
* `process::{exit, abort}` should be hooked up appropriately
None of these APIs can work natively on the `wasm32-unknown-unknown`
target, but with the assumption of the WASI set of syscalls we're able
to provide implementations of these syscalls that engines can implement.
Currently the primary engine implementing wasi is [wasmtime], but more
will surely emerge!
In terms of future development of libstd, I think this is something
we'll probably want to discuss. The purpose of the WASI target is to
provide a standardized set of syscalls, but it's *also* to provide a
standard C sysroot for compiling C/C++ programs. This means it's
intended that functions like `read` and `write` are implemented for this
target with a relatively standard definition and implementation. It's
unclear, therefore, how we want to expose file descriptors and how we'll
want to implement system primitives. For example should `std::fs::File`
have a libc-based file descriptor underneath it? The raw wasi file
descriptor? We'll see! Currently these details are all intentionally
hidden and things we can change over time.
A `WasiFd` sample struct was added to the standard library as part of
this commit, but it's not currently used. It shows how all the wasi
syscalls could be ergonomically bound in Rust, and they offer a possible
implementation of primitives like `std::fs::File` if we bind wasi file
descriptors exactly.
Apart from the standard library, there's also the matter of how this
target is integrated with respect to its C standard library. The
reference sysroot, for example, provides managment of standard unix file
descriptors and also standard APIs like `open` (as opposed to the
relative `openat` inspiration for the wasi ssycalls). Currently the
standard library relies on the C sysroot symbols for operations such as
environment management, process exit, and `read`/`write` of stdio fds.
We want these operations in Rust to be interoperable with C if they're
used in the same process. Put another way, if Rust and C are linked into
the same WebAssembly binary they should work together, but that requires
that the same C standard library is used.
We also, however, want the `wasm32-unknown-wasi` target to be
usable-by-default with the Rust compiler without requiring a separate
toolchain to get downloaded and configured. With that in mind, there's
two modes of operation for the `wasm32-unknown-wasi` target:
1. By default the C standard library is statically provided inside of
`liblibc.rlib` distributed as part of the sysroot. This means that
you can `rustc foo.wasm --target wasm32-unknown-unknown` and you're
good to go, a fully workable wasi binary pops out. This is
incompatible with linking in C code, however, which may be compiled
against a different sysroot than the Rust code was previously
compiled against. In this mode the default of `rust-lld` is used to
link binaries.
2. For linking with C code, the `-C target-feature=-crt-static` flag
needs to be passed. This takes inspiration from the musl target for
this flag, but the idea is that you're no longer using the provided
static C runtime, but rather one will be provided externally. This
flag is intended to also get coupled with an external `clang`
compiler configured with its own sysroot. Therefore you'll typically
use this flag with `-C linker=/path/to/clang-script-wrapper`. Using
this mode the Rust code will continue to reference standard C
symbols, but the definition will be pulled in by the linker configured.
Alright so that's all the current state of this PR. I suspect we'll
definitely want to discuss this before landing of course! This PR is
coupled with libc changes as well which I'll be posting shortly.

look for python2 symlinks before bootstrap python
Before this commit, if you're running x.py directly on a system where
`python` is symlinked to Python 3, then the `python` config option will
default to a Python 3 interpreter. This causes debuginfo tests to fail
with an opaque error message, since they have a hard requirement on
Python 2.
This commit modifies the Python probe behavior to look for python2.7 and
python2 *before* using the interpreter used to execute `x.py`.

compiletest: Support opt-in Clang-based run-make tests and use them for testing xLTO.
Some cross-language run-make tests need a Clang compiler that matches the LLVM version of `rustc`. Since such a compiler usually isn't available these tests (marked with the `needs-matching-clang`
directive) are ignored by default.
For some CI jobs we do need these tests to run unconditionally though. In order to support this a `--force-clang-based-tests` flag is added to compiletest. If this flag is specified, `compiletest` will fail if it can't detect an appropriate version of Clang.
@rust-lang/infra The PR doesn't yet enable the tests yet. Do you have any recommendation for which jobs to enable them?

Provide the option to use libc++ even on all platforms
This is the default on platforms which use libc++ as the default C++
library but this option allows using libc++ on others as well.
The run-pass test suite currently takes 30 minutes on Windows, and
that appears to be roughly split between two 15 minute runs of the test
suite: one without NLL and one with NLL. In discussion on Discord the
platform coverage of the NLL compare mode may not necessarily be worth
it, so this commit removes the NLL compare mode from tests by default,
and then reenables it on only one builder.
This commit adds opt-in support to the compiler to link to `jemalloc` in
the compiler. When activated the compiler will depend on `jemalloc-sys`,
instruct jemalloc to unprefix its symbols, and then link to it. The
feature is activated by default on Linux/OSX compilers for x86_64/i686
platforms, and it's not enabled anywhere else for now. We may be able to
opt-in other platforms in the future! Also note that the opt-in only
happens on CI, it's otherwise unconditionally turned off by default.
Closes#36963
This commit removes all jemalloc related submodules, configuration, etc,
from the bootstrap, from the standard library, and from the compiler.
This will be followed up with a change to use jemalloc specifically as
part of rustc on blessed platforms.
In addition to to updating Cargo's submodule and Cargo's dependencies,
this also updates Cargo's build to build OpenSSL statically into Cargo
as well as libcurl unconditionally. This removes OpenSSL build logic
from the bootstrap code, and otherwise requests that even on OSX we
build curl statically.
