Revert 199369bb17
- generating test.ref with tcc makes little sense.
- combine riscv_asm & conversion tests into only two files.
(too many files are bad ...)
tccpe.c:
- fix arm64 unwind codes (to make native set/longjmp() work)
sizeof(RUNTIME_FUNCTION) is 8 on arm64 in the first place
no need to note stack slots if we don't save any registers anyway
arm64-gen.c:
- fix long double reg-move
- fix arm64_hfa() for structs with float arrays
- gfunc_prolog(): setup stackframe eariler (simplifies unwind codes)
- new function gv_addr(RC);
win32/include/setjmp.h:
- provide correct definition for setjmo() (frameoffset = 224)
tccasm.c:
- support ".quad" with symbol & relocation
- support ".size"
- fix ". - symbol" arithmetic
win32/lib/crt1.c and win32/include/stdlib.h:
- do not write to __argc/__argv which reside in msvcrt.dll
(msvcrt.dll on arm64 does not like that, crashes on unload)
tcc.c,libtcc.c:
- new functions tcc_fopen/fclose to avoid different stdio unstances
in tcc.exe & libtcc.dll
tests & github workflow:
- add test-win32.bat to run tests with a tcc compiled by build-tcc.bat
- add msvcrt_start.c for gcc/clang to use the same runtime as tcc
the problem is that newer gcc as well as clang and cl are
linking to newer runtimes (such as UCRT) that have partially
different printf format behavior which makes tcctest fail.
the solution here is to force these compilers to link with
msvcrt.dll just like tcc.
Also, there is no gcc on arm64-win32 currently at all.
Anyway, this approach to running the github CI tests
does not require msys2. But It does rely on gnumake
as well as on some 'sh' shell though which seems to be
installed somewhere (maybe it is the one from git).

Commit: 8b5ab1bb0141e66887bfbc4051688a3e478701a2
Also here: https://repo.or.cz/tinycc.git/shortlog/refs/mob/mob_bold84/win_arm64_clean
This and the followup commits on mob is selected parts
of that original branch. So it is not everything.
It is not, for example:
- unrelated whitespace changes in many files
- a "pin msvcrt.dll" feature in tccpe.c (why that)
- a native getenv() replacement in tcc.c (why that)
- larger changes to the win32/lib runtime and tccrun.c (not needed)
- a very gcc specific detail for struct alignent in tccgen.c
- a custom set/longjmp implementation/replacement (not needed)
- lots of rather basic test files in the win32 folder
- a 'tests/asm' folder with some files (one file renamed to 140_test...c)
- a .docs folder with one file
This reverts commit 41fa74fc84.
Reasons for the revert:
1. The commit message is lacking and the use case is not obvious.
At the very least a concrete example of use case should be given
(likely cross-building tcc on platform X for running on platform Y),
followed by an issue description in such use case, and fix descr.
(e.g. "On platform X, when running ./configure ... && make ..., the
build fails because whatever. this commit does Y and fixes it").
2. assign_opt is used incorrectly: 1st arg must be --OPTNAME=VALUE
but it's not. The only thing it does is unconditional host_cc=gcc
if --cross-prefix=... is used - no need for "assign_opt" at all.
3. cross-building tcc currently has several triggers: build/target
cpu differ, or build/target OS differ, or --cross-prefix=... is
used, but that commit only covers the --cross-prefix=... case.
It's possible that it's intentional to only cover one case, but
if so then it's not explained why.
4. The var name host_cc is likely incorrect and probably meant to be
"native_cc", judging by the assigned value "gcc".
5. "gcc" is used unconditionally in such case, without any way to use
a different native compiler (assuming that's indeed the goal).
A better approach is likely supporting --native-cc=... option which
defaults to $cc (which already defaults to "gcc") _before_
$cross_prefix is added in-front.
workflow:
- revert 'pinact for security' for readability
from 831c3fa184
tccpp.c:
- remove code that allows tcc to parse numbers incorrectly (*)
from 829c848520
tccgen.c:
- Revert "Relaxed the 'incompatible pointer type' warning a bit" (*)
from d9ec17d334.
tccrun.c:
- remove support for -nostdlib -run
for simplicity, we require "main" with tcc -run always
tccpp.c:
- Revert "Free all preprocessor memmory in case of error."
from c96f0cad61
Remove TinyAlloc->limit instead. Thus it can do also bigger
allocs. Big TokenStrings (like 200kb+ when compiling tcc)
may come from inline functions or from large initializers.
Makefile/configure:
- use --config-pie for configuring tcc output only
- use -fPIC with clang-x86_64 to avoid 32-bit relocs
libtcc.c:
- fix "tcc file.c -run" i.e. -run as last argument
i386-gen.c:
- PIC refactor
(*) sorry, but code in tcc should have a minimum of generic relevance
Some targets (netbsd) require that code is
compiled with -fPIE.
i386-gen.c:
Lot of changes to load/store code
i386-link.c:
Set PCRELATIVE_DLLPLT depending on configuration
tccelf.c:
Change some relocations and add get_pc_thunk.o
Makefile lib/Makefile lib/get_pc_thunk.S:
Add new file get_pc_thunk.o
x86_64-link.c:
Check relocations R_X86_64_32/R_X86_64_32S. These relocations
can become to large if not configured with '--disable-static'
or '--config-pie' and code is run with -run -ltcc.
This only happens on x86_64.
tccdbg.c:
1) Add some .debug (dummy) sections when dwarf is used. These
sections are otherwise not relocated correctly for R_DATA_32DW.
2) Fix stab problem when reloc is applied twice.
I found some problems with a testcase from mailing list.
On x86_64 an overflow on reloc R_X86_64_32 occurred that was
not reported when using -run -ltcc.
The problem could be solved by compiling tcc with -fPIE, -pie
or --disable-static.
Makefile, configure, libtcc.c, x86_64-link.c:
- add --config-pie to configure help. Ignore -pie in libtcc.c
and check reloc overflow in x86_64-link.c
arm64-gen.c:
- Fix reading from constant like '*(int *)0x7fffb7f1280c'
elf.h, riscv64-link.c:
- fix for -run -ltcc. Ignore reloc R_RISCV_SET_ULEB128 and
R_RISCV_SUB_ULEB128 that are used in .debug_loclists section.
There are install shell scripts around, often derived from X11 like
contained in glibc or Gash sources, which require to separate -m from
its value. Therefore add a space behind 'install -m' in the Makefile.
workflows/build.yml:
- win32/64: install mingw32/64 gcc on msys (because the default
gcc installed elsewhere seems to use ucrt, producing incompatible
fp printf formats.)
tccgen.c:
- cleanup funcs: save any lvalues from return expressions. Also use
get_temp_local_var() which however was causing a problem on i386
because its gfunc_call() removes the arguments from vstack and by
that defeats the 'in-use' tracking of get_temp_local_var(). Fixed by:
i386/arm/arm64/x86_64-gen.c:
- in gfunc_call(): save_regs before anything else, fixes
problems seen in arm64/i386
tccpp.c:
- allow arm asm specific use of '#' in macros
libtcc.c:
- organize -M options, and:
tccpe.c:
- move the subsystem option parsing from libtcc.c
tccelf.c:
- improved error handling in tcc_load_ldscript()
lib/atomic.S:
- TCC_TARGET_... not defined when building the lib
- endbrNN security feature not supported by TCC
tests/tests2/136_atomic_gcc_style.c:
- never use standard assert() in tests
just clear s1->static_link before loading msvcrt etc.
Also:
- configure: get cc_version/name when making a cross compiler too
- configure: fix android triplets
- Makefile: remove CONFIG_TCC_CROSS, check TCC_TARGET_xxx instead
- libtcc.c: parse some linker option arguments more correctly
- tccelf.c: fix a versym problem with clang on android
- lib/Makefile, build-tcc.bat: bcheck.c now includes config.h
Put former NATIVE_DEFINES into config.h. Such tcc can be run
and tested directly from source more easily, like for example:
tcc -run tcc.c -B. -run test.c
Also:
- tccelf.c: cleanup
- tccpp.c: avoid stupid clang warning
- configure: reduce -Wno- switches
- tcc.h: inline wait/post_sem()
- tccpe.c: simplify import (assume STT_NOTYPE is function)
- LIBTCCAPI int tcc_set_backtrace_func(void *ud, ...)
accept opaque user data pointer,
- tcc -vv -run... : show section info
- use memalign() to allocate runtime memory
- printline_/dwarf : pass output to parent function
- tccpe.c : fix -nostdlib -run
- --config-backtrace=no : make it work again
- new LIBTCC API tcc_setjmp() to allow longjmps & signals
from compiled code back to libtcc per TCCState
- new LIBTCC API tcc_set_backtrace_func() to handle backtrace output
- move c/dtor/atexit stuff to runtime (lib/runmain.c)
- move bt-log.o into libtcc1.a
- add timeouts to github action (beware, it did happen to hang
infinitely in the signal handler at some point)
- abort with notice when tcc_relocate() is called with the
former two-step method
- support backtrace & bcheck not only with tcc_run() but also
for directly called functions from tcc_get_symbol(); enable
witn 'tcc_set_options("-bt/-b");'
- move struct rt_context and debug sections into compiled code
for TCC_OUTPUT_MEMORY also
- protect access (g_rc) with semaphore
Also:
- add armv7/aarch4/riscv64 github tests (qemu emulated)
- win32/build-tcc.bat: build cross compiler only with -x
tccpp.c:
- revert "Preprocessor fix + new testcase"
Fix was not a fix and nobody could understand the test.
This reverts 6379f2ee76
- better fix and add new test (pp/18.c)
tccgen.c:
- remove global variables 'in_sizeof', 'constant_p'
- rework comma expression (gexpr())
- merge func/data 'alias_target' codes
(See 08c777053c)
- move call to do_Static_assert()
- better error: "expression expected before '%s'"
- fix "statement after label"
- remove unnecessary second parameter to block()
- remove unnecessary call to decl()
- revert changes to old C89 test file
See 7f0a28f6ca
tccelf.c:
- rework "...make undefined global symbol STT_NOTYPE"
(See f44060f8fc)
- move tccelf_add_crtbegin() from libtcc.c
tcctest:
- unfix K&R fix (keep old look of K&R functions)
tccrun.c:
- exit(0) returns 0
libtcc.c:
- move #defines for -dumpmachine
- more explicit error "file not found"
(as opposed to error while loading file)
tccpe.c, x86_64-gen.c, i386-asm.c, tccasm.c:
- use R_X86_64_PLT32 for functions on x86_64-win32
tccdefs.h
- empty #defines for _Nonnull, __has_builtin(), etc.
configure:
- Simpler "macOS .dylib ... VERSION letters."
(See 6b967b1285)
Makefile:
- macOS version also
- add cross searchpaths for packages
build.yml:
- disable codesign on macos-11 (doesn't seem to work)
This reverts commit ece74ceaaf.
codesigning is already supported via --config-codesign.
This patch actually broke testing for tcc builds with
that set.
Allows running the tests out-of-the-box on macOS.
Also delete *.dylib in tests2 dir on "make clean".
One remaining issue on macOS 14.1 is that the
-undefined warning option no longer works,
thus breaking test3 and test1b.
macOS builds with --disable-static fail to link if the version number
contains letters because of the -current_version and
-compatibility_version arguments (current version is 0.9.28rc).
This commit adds a new MACOS_DYLIB_VERSION variable to config.mak for
builds that target macOS. It has no impact on other targets.
configure:
- option --targetos=... for cross build
- cleanup
win32/build-tcc.bat:
- option -b <bindir>
- make 'libtcc1.a' and cross-prefix-libtcc1.a
(same convention as with makefile)
Makefile:
- streamline tcov-tests, help, etc.
workflow/build.xml: simplify
- using "windows-2019" runner (instead of windows-latest)
because its msys seems more complete and has no problems
with the 96_nodata_wanted.test either.
Changelog,TODO,USES,tcc-doc.texi: update
The following targets are added:
testc / testc2.all / testc2.37 / testc2.37+ / testc2.37-
testcpp.all / make testcpp.17
This allows to check that the testcase(s) test the code modified.
See Makefile tests/pp/Makefile tests/tests2/Makefile
lib/tcov.c: Fix while loops with fgets.
tcc.h: Fix tcc_p compilation with latest gcc
tests/tests2/22_floating_point.*: Better test floating point
tccgen.c:
- just track local_stack for small scopes (can't declare variables)
- fix a vla problem with nested scopes
- move debug N_L/RBRAC into curly braced block
Also:
- tccpp.c: move 'label_...' functions to tccgen.c
- tccpp.c: let get_tok_str() say "<no name>" for anonymous symbols
- tcctest.c: let __pa_symbol() work for memory > 2GB
- 119_random_stuff.c: revert strtoll test (no reason to test libc)
- tccdefs.h/tcctest.c: enable bit fncs for _WIN32
- Makefile:
- use i686-linux-gnu instead of i386-linux-gnu for cross-i386
- update 'make help'
- revert umplicit 'make all' with 'make install' (but print warning)
I tested on macos 10, 11, 12 and 13 that old and new macho code work.
I do not know when this new format is introduced but it is now
available on a lot of versions. So make it the default.
Also default to dwarf=4 because stabs and dwarf=5 is not supported.
Add --config-codesign option to run codesign on apple to sign executables.
See configure and Makefile
In tccmacho.c use codesign option to call codesign application.
Add build_version/source_version
Sort sections in __LINKEDIT the same way as llvm does.
Add simple support for trie code. Need some more attention.
Fix rebase/bind error.
Apple has a new object format that uses chained fixups.
I have implemented this with a configure option '--config-new_macho'
See configure and Makefile
tccmacho.c contains the biggest change.
I split the lazy_bind_rebase structure into lazy_bind and rebase for the
old format.
Under the macro CONFIG_NEW_MACHO there is the new macho format code.
In arm64-gen.c we do not need to push all registers on stack for
variadic functions. variadic parameters are pushed on stack for apple.
There is still one open isue. The export trie is empty.
This only effects dlsym when a local symbol is used.
tested on apple x86_64(10.5) and arm64(12.3).
This reverts commit 2507c71704.
Why crowd up search-paths for the normal native compiler with
all sort of invalid stuff. Why -UCONFIG_TRIPLET if it isn't
set at all for cross-compilers. Also, the patch still didn't
do anything useful "out of the box".
Instead I'd suggest to do something more simple and more effective.
See Makefile:
- set search paths for cross-compilers to /usr/<triplet> by default
- Install any built "xxx-tcc" and "xxx-libtcc1.a", even if not listed
with PROGS_CROSS/LIBTCC1_CROSS
- Support ELF-<target> = ... to set the elf interpreter
Some common gnu-triplets are supported by default
TRIPLET-i386 ?= i386-linux-gnu
TRIPLET-x86_64 ?= x86_64-linux-gnu
TRIPLET-arm ?= arm-linux-gnueabihf
TRIPLET-arm64 ?= aarch64-linux-gnu
TRIPLET-riscv64 ?= riscv64-linux-gnu
Other triplets can be given explicitly, for example like this:
$ make cross-arm-eabi TRIPLET-arm-eabi=arm-linux-gnueabi
$ sudo make install
On an armeabi-v7a device (phone) in the termux app with
clang & make installed this passes all the tests.
Can be used as a cross compiler to create "native apps" as well.
Example 'config-extra.mak' for the cross arm-eabi-tcc:
SYSROOT = <path_to_android_ndk...>/sysroot/usr
TRIPLET = arm-linux-androideabi
ANDRVER = 32
ROOT-arm-eabi = $(SYSROOT)
CRT-arm-eabi = {R}/lib/$(TRIPLET)/$(ANDRVER)
LIB-arm-eabi = {B};{R}/lib/$(TRIPLET)/$(ANDRVER);{R}/lib/$(TRIPLET)
INC-arm-eabi = {B}/lib/include;{R}/include/$(TRIPLET);{R}/include
DEF-arm-eabi = -DTCC_TARGET_ARM -DTCC_ARM_VFP -DTCC_ARM_EABI
DEF-arm-eabi += -DTARGETOS_ANDROID -DCONFIG_TCC_PIE -DCONFIG_NEW_DTAGS
DEF-arm-eabi += -DCONFIG_TCC_ELFINTERP=\"/system/bin/linker\"
# on unix replace ';' by ':'.
$ ./configure && make cross-arm-eabi && make install
Allows to create dynamic executables, using the code path
for TCC_OUTPUT_DLL but add an .interp header (plus a FLAGS_1
entry in the dynamic section to make 'readelf' say "PIE")
Introduces TCC_OUTPUT_DYN as alias for TCC_OUTPUT_DLL.
There is no runtime option, only one to configure:
./configure --config-pie

... rather than from tccdir. Also allows to load cross
versions of bcheck.o etc. (if we would build them which
we currently don't).
18 insertions(+), 24 deletions(-)
Better avoid global variables, at least in new code.
tccdbg.c hopefully should be logically identical to the
former parts in tccgen/elf.c (s1 tccstate added in some
places)
tccelf.c: dwarf linkage seems special per dwarf rather
than special per target.
/* Use "-g" as alias for "-g1". Use "-g0" to disable debug */
So not using -g is now the alias for -g0 ?!?
