2013-12-09Implement LTOAlex Crichton-0/+2
This commit implements LTO for rust leveraging LLVM's passes. What this means is: * When compiling an rlib, in addition to insdering foo.o into the archive, also insert foo.bc (the LLVM bytecode) of the optimized module. * When the compiler detects the -Z lto option, it will attempt to perform LTO on a staticlib or binary output. The compiler will emit an error if a dylib or rlib output is being generated. * The actual act of performing LTO is as follows: 1. Force all upstream libraries to have an rlib version available. 2. Load the bytecode of each upstream library from the rlib. 3. Link all this bytecode into the current LLVM module (just using llvm apis) 4. Run an internalization pass which internalizes all symbols except those found reachable for the local crate of compilation. 5. Run the LLVM LTO pass manager over this entire module 6a. If assembling an archive, then add all upstream rlibs into the output archive. This ignores all of the object/bitcode/metadata files rust generated and placed inside the rlibs. 6b. If linking a binary, create copies of all upstream rlibs, remove the rust-generated object-file, and then link everything as usual. As I have explained in #10741, this process is excruciatingly slow, so this is *not* turned on by default, and it is also why I have decided to hide it behind a -Z flag for now. The good news is that the binary sizes are about as small as they can be as a result of LTO, so it's definitely working. Closes #10741 Closes #10740
2013-08-26Rewrite pass management with LLVMAlex Crichton-0/+2
Beforehand, it was unclear whether rust was performing the "recommended set" of optimizations provided by LLVM for code. This commit changes the way we run passes to closely mirror that of clang, which in theory does it correctly. The notable changes include: * Passes are no longer explicitly added one by one. This would be difficult to keep up with as LLVM changes and we don't guaranteed always know the best order in which to run passes * Passes are now managed by LLVM's PassManagerBuilder object. This is then used to populate the various pass managers run. * We now run both a FunctionPassManager and a module-wide PassManager. This is what clang does, and I presume that we *may* see a speed boost from the module-wide passes just having to do less work. I have no measured this. * The codegen pass manager has been extracted to its own separate pass manager to not get mixed up with the other passes * All pass managers now include passes for target-specific data layout and analysis passes Some new features include: * You can now print all passes being run with `-Z print-llvm-passes` * When specifying passes via `--passes`, the passes are now appended to the default list of passes instead of overwriting them. * The output of `--passes list` is now generated by LLVM instead of maintaining a list of passes ourselves * Loop vectorization is turned on by default as an optimization pass and can be disabled with `-Z no-vectorize-loops`
2013-08-04Fix build issues once LLVM has been upgradedAlex Crichton-0/+2
* LLVM now has a C interface to LLVMBuildAtomicRMW * The exception handling support for the JIT seems to have been dropped * Various interfaces have been added or headers have changed

2013-06-15auto merge of #7125 : alexcrichton/rust/rusti-issues, r=brsonbors-0/+1
This un-reverts the reverts of the rusti commits made awhile back. These were reverted for an LLVM failure in rustpkg. I believe that this is not a problem with these commits, but rather that rustc is being used in parallel for rustpkg tests (in-process). This is not working yet (almost! see #7011), so I serialized all the tests to run one after another. @brson, I'm mainly just guessing as to the cause of the LLVM failures in rustpkg tests. I'm confident that running tests in parallel is more likely to be the problem than those commits I made. Additionally, this fixes two recently reported issues with rusti.

2013-06-10Have JIT execution take ownership of the LLVMContextRefAlex Crichton-0/+1
Also stop leaking the ExecutionEngine created for jit code by forcibly disposing of it after the JIT code has finished executing
2013-05-29Refactor optimization pass handling.James Miller-0/+57
Refactor the optimization passes to explicitly use the passes. This commit just re-implements the same passes as were already being run. It also adds an option (behind `-Z`) to run the LLVM lint pass on the unoptimized IR.
