Don't warn if the config file is somewhere other than `config.toml`
Previously, `config.config` was always hardcoded as `"config.toml"`.
I thought that it was being overridden with the actual value later, but
it turns out `flags.config` was being completely discarded. This keeps
`config.config` in sync with `flags.config`.

This changes the behavior from *not* building for host whenever an
explicit target is specified. I find this much less confusing.
You can still disable host steps by passing an explicit empty list for
host.
Fixes#76990.

Add `x.py setup`
Closes#76503.
- Suggest `x.py setup` if config.toml doesn't exist yet
- Prompt for a profile if not given on the command line
- Print the configuration that will be used
- Print helpful starting commands after setup
- Link to the dev-guide after finishing
- Suggest `x.py setup` if config.toml doesn't exist yet (twice, once
before and once after the build)
- Prompt for a profile if not given on the command line
- Print the configuration file that will be used
- Print helpful starting commands after setup
- Link to the dev-guide after finishing
- Note that distro maintainers will see the changelog warning
This keeps only the `std` artifacts compiled by the given stage, not the
compiler. This is useful when working on the latter stages of the
compiler in tandem with the standard library, since you don't have to
rebuild the *entire* compiler when the standard library changes.
- Add a changelog and instructions for updating it
- Use `changelog-seen` in `config.toml` and `VERSION` in bootstrap to determine whether the changelog has been read
- Nag people if they haven't read the x.py changelog
+ Print message twice to make sure it's seen
- Give different error messages depending on whether the version needs to be updated or added
Add sample defaults for config.toml
- Allow including defaults in `src/bootstrap/defaults` using `profile = "..."`.
- Add default config files, with a README noting they're experimental and asking you to open an issue if you run into trouble. The config files have comments explaining why the defaults are set.
- Combine config files using the `merge` dependency.
This introduces a new dependency on `merge` that hasn't yet been vetted.
I want to improve the output when `include = "x"` isn't found:
```
thread 'main' panicked at 'fs::read_to_string(&file) failed with No such file or directory (os error 2) ("configuration file did not exist")', src/bootstrap/config.rs:522:28
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace
failed to run: /home/joshua/rustc/build/bootstrap/debug/bootstrap test tidy
Build completed unsuccessfully in 0:00:00
```
However that seems like it could be fixed in a follow-up.
Closes#76619
- Allow including defaults in `src/bootstrap/defaults` using `profile = "..."`
- Add default config files
- Combine config files using the merge dependency.
- Add comments to default config files
- Add a README asking to open an issue if the defaults are bad
- Give a loud error if trying to merge `.target`, since it's not
currently supported
- Use an exhaustive match
- Use `<none>` in config.toml.example to avoid confusion
- Fix bugs in `Merge` derives
Previously, it would completely ignore the profile defaults if there
were any settings in `config.toml`. I sent an email to the `merge` maintainer
asking them to make the behavior in this commit the default.

This requires that bootstrap is run from the same worktree as the sources it'll
build, but this is basically required for the build to work anyway. You can
still run it from a different directory, just that the files it builds must be
beside it.
This moves build triple discovery for rustbuild from bootstrap.py into a build
script, meaning it will "just work" if building rustbuild via Cargo rather than
Python.
The performance difference is negligible, but it makes me feel better.
Note that this does not remove some clones in `config`, because it would
require changing the logic around (and performance doesn't matter
for bootstrap).
Make the default stage for x.py configurable
This also allows configuring each sub-command individually.
Possibly #76617 should land before this? I don't feel strongly either way, I don't mind waiting.
Closes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/76165.

This allows configuring the default stage for each sub-command individually.
- Normalize the stage as early as possible, so there's no confusion
about which to use.
- Don't add an explicit `stage` option in config.toml
This offers no more flexibility than `*_stage` and makes it confusing
which takes precedence.
- Always give `--stage N` precedence over config.toml
- Fix bootstrap tests
This changes the tests to go through `Config::parse` so that they test
the actual defaults, not the dummy ones provided by `default_opts`. To
make this workable (and independent of the environment), it does not
read `config.toml` for tests.
Add a dedicated debug-logging option to config.toml
`@Mark-Simulacrum` and I were talking in zulip and we found that turning on debug/trace logging in rustc is fairly confusing, as it effectively depends on debug-assertions and is not documented as such. `@Mark-Simulacrum` mentioned that we should probably have a separate option for logging anyways.
this diff adds that, having the option follow debug-assertions (so everyone's existing config.toml should be fine) and if the option is false
to test I ran ./x.py test <something> twice, once with `debug-logging = false` and once with `debug-logging = true` and made sure i only saw trace's when it was true
This avoids missing a shared build when uplifting LLVM artifacts into the
sysroot. We were already producing a shared link anyway, though, so this is not
a visible change from the end user's perspective.
Previously, the CLI --target/--host definitions and configured options differed
in their effect: when setting these on the CLI, only the passed triples would be
compiled for, while in config.toml we would also compile for the build triple
and any host triples. This is needlessly confusing; users expect --target and
--host to be identical to editing the configuration file.
The new behavior is to respect --host and --target when passed as the *only*
configured triples (no triples are implicitly added). The default for --host is
the build triple, and the default for --target is the host triple(s), either
configured or the default build triple.
Ninja substantially improves LLVM build time. On a 96-way system, using
Make took 248s, and using Ninja took 161s, a 35% improvement.
We already require a variety of tools to build Rust. If someone wants to
build without Ninja (for instance, to minimize the set of packages
required to bootstrap a new target), they can easily set `ninja=false`
in `config.toml`. Our defaults should help people build Rust (and LLVM)
faster, to speed up development.

Compiling itself doesn't seem to take up as much RAM, and I'm only looking to check whether a minimal testcase can be compiled by rustc, where the runtime performance isn't much of an issue

Anecdotally, this sped up my stage 1 build from 15 to 10 minutes.
This still adds line numbers, it only removes variable and type information.
- Improve wording for debuginfo description

`rustc` allows passing in predefined target triples as well as JSON
target specification files. This change allows bootstrap to have the
first inkling about those differences. This allows building a
cross-compiler for an out-of-tree architecture (even though that
compiler won't work for other reasons).
Even if no one ever uses this functionality, I think the newtype
around the `Interned<String>` improves the readability of the code.
Provide separate option for std debug asserts
On local one-off benchmarking of libcore metadata-only, debug asserts in std are a significant hit (15s to 20s). Provide an option for compiler developers to disable them. A build with a nightly compiler is around 10s, for reference.
This allows configuring the directory for build artifacts, instead of having it always be ./build. This means you can set it to a constant location, letting you reuse the same cache while working in several different directories.
The configuration lives in config.toml under build.build-dir. By default, it keeps the existing default of ./build, but it can be configured to any relative or absolute path. Additionally, it allows making outputs relative to the root of the git repository using $ROOT.
The current check for wether a target is no_std or not is matching for the
string "-none-" in a target triple. This doesn't work for triples that end in
"-none", like "aarch64-unknown-none".
Fix this by matching for "-none" instead.
I checked for all the current target triples containing "none", and this should
not generate any false positives.
This fixes an issue encountered in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/68334
Background: targets can be specied with or without config files;
unneccessarily differences in the logic between those cases has caused
a) the bug I tried to fix in the previous commit, b) the bug I
introduced in the previous commit.
The solution is to make the code paths the same as much as possible.
1. Targets are now not created from the `default` method. (I would both
remove the impl if this was a public library, but just wrap it for
convience becaues it's not.) Instead, there is a `from_triple` method
which does the defaulting.
2. Besides the sanity checking, use the new method in the code reading
config files. Now `no_std` is overriden iff set explicitly just like the
other fields which are optional in the TOML AST type.
3. In sanity checking, just populate the map for all targets no matter
what. That way do don't duplicate logic trying to be clever and remember
which targets have "non standard" overrides. Sanity checking is back to
just sanity checking, and out of the game of trying to default too.
Currently, it is only set correctly in the sanity checking implicit
default fallback code. Having a config file at all will for force
`no_std = false`.
Enable Control Flow Guard in rustbuild
Now that Rust supports Control Flow Guard (#68180), add a config.toml option to build the standard library with CFG enabled.

Add an option to use LLD to link the compiler on Windows platforms
Based on https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/68609.
Using LLD is good way to improve compile times on Windows since `link.exe` is quite slow. The time for `x.py build --stage 1 src/libtest` goes from 0:12:00 to 0:08:29. Compile time for `rustc_driver` goes from 226.34s to 18.5s. `rustc_macros` goes from 28.69s to 7.7s. The size of `rustc_driver` is also reduced from 83.3 MB to 78.7 MB.
