Introduced a new src/etc/cat-and-grep.sh script (called in run-make as
$(CGREP)), which prints the input and do a grep simultaneously. This is
mainly used to debug spurious failures in run-make, such as the sanitizer
error in #45810, as well as real errors such as #46126.
This commit changes the default of rustc to use 32 codegen units when compiling
in debug mode, typically an opt-level=0 compilation. Since their inception
codegen units have matured quite a bit, gaining features such as:
* Parallel translation and codegen enabling codegen units to get worked on even
more quickly.
* Deterministic and reliable partitioning through the same infrastructure as
incremental compilation.
* Global rate limiting through the `jobserver` crate to avoid overloading the
system.
The largest benefit of codegen units has forever been faster compilation through
parallel processing of modules on the LLVM side of things, using all the cores
available on build machines that typically have many available. Some downsides
have been fixed through the features above, but the major downside remaining is
that using codegen units reduces opportunities for inlining and optimization.
This, however, doesn't matter much during debug builds!
In this commit the default number of codegen units for debug builds has been
raised from 1 to 32. This should enable most `cargo build` compiles that are
bottlenecked on translation and/or code generation to immediately see speedups
through parallelization on available cores.
Work is being done to *always* enable multiple codegen units (and therefore
parallel codegen) but it requires #44841 at least to be landed and stabilized,
but stay tuned if you're interested in that aspect!
This is a follow-up to f189d7a693 and 9d11b089ad. While `-z ignore`
is what needs to be passed to the Solaris linker, because gcc is used as
the default linker, both that form and `-Wl,-z -Wl,ignore` (including
extra double quotes) need to be taken into account, which explains the
more complex regular expression.
Turning gc-sections off improves code coverage based for tools which
use DWARF debugging information (like kcov). Otherwise dead code is
stripped and kcov returns a coverage percentage that doesn't reflect
reality.
