From 0ec321f7b541fcbfbf20286beb497e6d9d3352b2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alex Crichton Date: Fri, 8 Apr 2016 16:18:40 -0700 Subject: rustc: Implement custom panic runtimes This commit is an implementation of [RFC 1513] which allows applications to alter the behavior of panics at compile time. A new compiler flag, `-C panic`, is added and accepts the values `unwind` or `panic`, with the default being `unwind`. This model affects how code is generated for the local crate, skipping generation of landing pads with `-C panic=abort`. [RFC 1513]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/1513-less-unwinding.md Panic implementations are then provided by crates tagged with `#![panic_runtime]` and lazily required by crates with `#![needs_panic_runtime]`. The panic strategy (`-C panic` value) of the panic runtime must match the final product, and if the panic strategy is not `abort` then the entire DAG must have the same panic strategy. With the `-C panic=abort` strategy, users can expect a stable method to disable generation of landing pads, improving optimization in niche scenarios, decreasing compile time, and decreasing output binary size. With the `-C panic=unwind` strategy users can expect the existing ability to isolate failure in Rust code from the outside world. Organizationally, this commit dismantles the `sys_common::unwind` module in favor of some bits moving part of it to `libpanic_unwind` and the rest into the `panicking` module in libstd. The custom panic runtime support is pretty similar to the custom allocator support with the only major difference being how the panic runtime is injected (takes the `-C panic` flag into account). --- src/libpanic_unwind/Cargo.toml | 13 +++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 13 insertions(+) create mode 100644 src/libpanic_unwind/Cargo.toml (limited to 'src/libpanic_unwind/Cargo.toml') diff --git a/src/libpanic_unwind/Cargo.toml b/src/libpanic_unwind/Cargo.toml new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..27edecd6f96 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/libpanic_unwind/Cargo.toml @@ -0,0 +1,13 @@ +[package] +authors = ["The Rust Project Developers"] +name = "panic_unwind" +version = "0.0.0" + +[lib] +path = "lib.rs" + +[dependencies] +alloc = { path = "../liballoc" } +core = { path = "../libcore" } +libc = { path = "../rustc/libc_shim" } +unwind = { path = "../libunwind" } -- cgit 1.4.1-3-g733a5
