Note: for now, this change only affects `-windows-gnu` builds.
So why was this `libgcc` dylib dependency needed in the first place?
The stack unwinder needs to know about locations of unwind tables of all the modules loaded in the current process. The easiest portable way of achieving this is to have each module register itself with the unwinder when loaded into the process. All modules compiled by GCC do this by calling the __register_frame_info() in their startup code (that's `crtbegin.o` and `crtend.o`, which are automatically linked into any gcc output).
Another important piece is that there should be only one copy of the unwinder (and thus unwind tables registry) in the process. This pretty much means that the unwinder must be in a shared library (unless everything is statically linked).
Now, Rust compiler tries very hard to make sure that any given Rust crate appears in the final output just once. So if we link the unwinder statically to one of Rust's crates, everything should be fine.
Unfortunately, GCC startup objects are built under assumption that `libgcc` is the one true place for the unwind info registry, so I couldn't find any better way than to replace them. So out go `crtbegin`/`crtend`, in come `rsbegin`/`rsend`!
A side benefit of this change is that rustc is now more in control of the command line that goes to the linker, so we could stop using `gcc` as the linker driver and just invoke `ld` directly.
Remove leading newlines; replace lines containing only whitespace with empty lines; replace multiple trailing newlines with a single newline; remove trailing whitespace in lines
The reason this was not failing is fascinating. The variable $(rustc)
is empty, so the make recipe was expanded as " -o foo foo.rs". make
interpreted this as an instruction to run the command "o foo foo.rs"
and ignore any failure that occurred, because it uses a leading '-' on
a command to signal that behavior.

This PR closes out #28716 and #28735 by making two changes to the compiler:
1. The `--emit` flag to the compiler now supports the ability to specify the output file name of a partuclar emit type. For example `--emit dep-info=bar.d,asm=foo.s,link` is now accepted.
2. The dep-info emission now emits a dummy target for all input file names to protect against deleted files.
This commit swaps the order of linking local native libraries and upstream
native libraries on the linker command line. Detail of bugs this can cause can
be found in #28595, and this change also invalidates the test case that was
added for #12446 which is now considered a bug because the downstream dependency
would need to declare that it depends on the native library somehow.
Closes#28595
Currently the compiler supports the ability to emit multiple output types as
part of one compilation (e.g. asm, LLVM IR, bytecode, link, dep-info, etc). It
does not, however, support the ability to customize the output filename for each
of these output types. The `-o` flag is ignored if multiple emit types are
specified (and the compiler emits a warning about this).
Normally this doesn't matter too much, but in the case of `dep-info` it can lead
to a number of problems (e.g. see #28716). By allowing customization of the
output filename for each emit type we're able to solve the problems in that
issue.
This commit adds support for the `--emit` option to the compiler to look like:
rustc foo.rs --emit dep-info=.deps/foo.d,link
This indicates that the `dep-info` output type will be placed at `.deps/foo.d`
and the `link` output type will otherwise be determined via the `--out-dir` and
`-o` flags.
Closes#28716
This commit removes all unstable and deprecated functions in the standard
library. A release was recently cut (1.3) which makes this a good time for some
spring cleaning of the deprecated functions.
This commit removes all morestack support from the compiler which entails:
* Segmented stacks are no longer emitted in codegen.
* We no longer build or distribute libmorestack.a
* The `stack_exhausted` lang item is no longer required
The only current use of the segmented stack support in LLVM is to detect stack
overflow. This is no longer really required, however, because we already have
guard pages for all threads and registered signal handlers watching for a
segfault on those pages (to print out a stack overflow message). Additionally,
major platforms (aka Windows) already don't use morestack.
This means that Rust is by default less likely to catch stack overflows because
if a function takes up more than one page of stack space it won't hit the guard
page. This is what the purpose of morestack was (to catch this case), but it's
better served with stack probes which have more cross platform support and no
runtime support necessary. Until LLVM supports this for all platform it looks
like morestack isn't really buying us much.
cc #16012 (still need stack probes)
Closes#26458 (a drive-by fix to help diagnostics on stack overflow)
This commit is an implementation of [RFC 1184][rfc] which tweaks the behavior of
the `#![no_std]` attribute and adds a new `#![no_core]` attribute. The
`#![no_std]` attribute now injects `extern crate core` at the top of the crate
as well as the libcore prelude into all modules (in the same manner as the
standard library's prelude). The `#![no_core]` attribute disables both std and
core injection.

Makes the lint a bit more accurate, and improves the quality of the diagnostic
messages by explicitly returning an error message.
The new lint is also a little more aggressive: specifically, it now
rejects tuples, and it recurses into function pointers.
This commit alters the implementation of multiple codegen units slightly to be
compatible with the MSVC linker. Currently the implementation will take the N
object files created by each codegen unit and will run `ld -r` to create a new
object file which is then passed along. The MSVC linker, however, is not able to
do this operation.
The compiler will now no longer attempt to assemble object files together but
will instead just pass through all the object files as usual. This implies that
rlibs may not contain more than one object file (if the library is compiled with
more than one codegen unit) and the output of `-C save-temps` will have changed
slightly as object files with the extension `0.o` will not be renamed to `o`
unless requested otherwise.
