From 29fc479a302a97a4c923076cc6211151aa802691 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Augie Fackler Date: Fri, 19 Jan 2024 14:42:43 -0500 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] rustc_codegen_llvm: add support for writing summary bitcode Typical uses of ThinLTO don't have any use for this as a standalone file, but distributed ThinLTO uses this to make the linker phase more efficient. With clang you'd do something like `clang -flto=thin -fthin-link-bitcode=foo.indexing.o -c foo.c` and then get both foo.o (full of bitcode) and foo.indexing.o (just the summary or index part of the bitcode). That's then usable by a two-stage linking process that's more friendly to distributed build systems like bazel, which is why I'm working on this area. I talked some to @teresajohnson about naming in this area, as things seem to be a little confused between various blog posts and build systems. "bitcode index" and "bitcode summary" tend to be a little too ambiguous, and she tends to use "thin link bitcode" and "minimized bitcode" (which matches the descriptions in LLVM). Since the clang option is thin-link-bitcode, I went with that to try and not add a new spelling in the world. Per @dtolnay, you can work around the lack of this by using `lld --thinlto-index-only` to do the indexing on regular .o files of bitcode, but that is a bit wasteful on actions when we already have all the information in rustc and could just write out the matching minimized bitcode. I didn't test that at all in our infrastructure, because by the time I learned that I already had this patch largely written. --- src/lib.rs | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) diff --git a/src/lib.rs b/src/lib.rs index 3f2fadce9e4d5..d786d5116ce73 100644 --- a/src/lib.rs +++ b/src/lib.rs @@ -335,6 +335,10 @@ impl ThinBufferMethods for ThinBuffer { fn data(&self) -> &[u8] { unimplemented!(); } + + fn thin_link_data(&self) -> &[u8] { + unimplemented!(); + } } pub struct GccContext { From 4a79b06f83fa370848ea6a3adb8093f485ee8d06 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Augie Fackler Date: Thu, 23 May 2024 15:23:21 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 2/2] rustc_codegen_gcc: fix changed method signature --- src/lib.rs | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/src/lib.rs b/src/lib.rs index d786d5116ce73..b1785e150adc5 100644 --- a/src/lib.rs +++ b/src/lib.rs @@ -418,7 +418,7 @@ impl WriteBackendMethods for GccCodegenBackend { back::write::codegen(cgcx, dcx, module, config) } - fn prepare_thin(_module: ModuleCodegen) -> (String, Self::ThinBuffer) { + fn prepare_thin(_module: ModuleCodegen, _emit_summary: bool) -> (String, Self::ThinBuffer) { unimplemented!(); }
