MachO linker now handles `-needed-l<name>`, `-needed_library=<name>`
and `-needed_framework=<name>`. While on macOS `-l` is equivalent
to `-needed-l`, and `-framework` to `-needed_framework`, it can be
used to the same effect as on Linux if combined with `-dead_strip_dylibs`.
This commit also adds handling for `-needed_library` which is macOS
specific flag only (in addition to `-needed-l`).
Finally, in order to leverage new linker testing harness, this commit
added ability to specify lowering to those flags via `build.zig`:
`linkSystemLibraryNeeded` (and related), and `linkFrameworkNeeded`.
Includes both traditiona and incremental codepaths with one caveat that
in incremental case, the requested size cannot be smaller than the
default padding size due to prealloc required due to incremental nature
of linking.
Also parse `-headerpad_max_install_names`, however, not actionable just yet -
missing implementation.
This adds clarification to the getGlobalSymbol doc comments,
as well as renames the `addExternFn` function for MachO to `getGlobalSymbol`.
This function will now be called from 'src/link.zig' as well.
Finally, this also enables compiling zig's libc using LLVM even though
the `fno-LLVM` flag is given.
If page aligned requested pagezero size is 0, skip generating
__PAGEZERO segment.
Add misc improvements to the pipeline, and correctly transfer the
requested __PAGEZERO size to the linker.
Pass `-pagezero_size` to the MachO linker. This is the final
"unsupported linker arg" that I could chase that CGo uses. After this
and #11874 we may be able to fail on an "unsupported linker arg" instead
of emiting a warning.
Test case:
zig=/code/zig/build/zig
CGO_ENABLED=1 GOOS=darwin GOARCH=amd64 CC="$zig cc -target x86_64-macos" CXX="$zig c++ -target x86_64-macos" go build -a -ldflags "-s -w" cgo.go
I compiled a trivial CGo program and executed it on an amd64 Darwin
host.
To be honest, I am not entirely sure what this is doing. This feels
right after reading what this argument does in LLVM sources, but I am by
no means qualified to make MachO pull requests. Will take feedback.
Warnings about non-implemented `-z nocopyreloc` are common when
compiling go code (including Go's tests themselves). Let's just
make it stop complaining.
This improves the ABI alignment resolution code.
This commit fully enables the MachO linker code in stage3. Note,
however, that there are still miscompilations in stage3.
Rather than allocating Decl objects with an Allocator, we instead allocate
them with a SegmentedList. This provides four advantages:
* Stable memory so that one thread can access a Decl object while another
thread allocates additional Decl objects from this list.
* It allows us to use u32 indexes to reference Decl objects rather than
pointers, saving memory in Type, Value, and dependency sets.
* Using integers to reference Decl objects rather than pointers makes
serialization trivial.
* It provides a unique integer to be used for anonymous symbol names,
avoiding multi-threaded contention on an atomic counter.
Sometimes we will want to generate debug info for a constant that
has been lowered to memory and not copied anywhere else. For this
we will need to defer resolution on PIE platforms until all locals
(including GOT entries) have been allocated.
Fixes#11353
The renderer treats comments and doc comments differently since doc
comments are parsed into the Ast. This commit adds a check after getting
the text for the doc comment and trims whitespace at the end before
rendering.
The `a = 0,` in the test is here to avoid a ParseError while parsing the
test.
Avoids many pitfalls connected with premature/early return in case
there are errors with Decl, etc. This is effectively bringing back
the old design however in a much nicer packaging, where every
mechanism related to tracking Decl's debug info is now nicely
wrapped in a single struct (aka the `DeclState`). This includes
relocation table, type arena, etc. It is now the caller's
responsibility to deinit the state (so that no memory is leaked)
after `Decl` has been analysed (or errored out). The caller here
is typically a linker such as `Elf` or `MachO`.
Instead, we fallback to the old-fashioned stabs-based mechanism
until I add the missing mechanism for extracting and relocating
DWARF from relocatable object files and writing it into a dSYM
bundle.
With this change, we can now bake in entitlements into the binary.
Additionally, I see this as the first step towards full code signature
support which includes baking in Apple issued certificates for
redistribution, etc.
