Most of this migration was performed automatically with `zig fmt`. There
were a few exceptions which I had to manually fix:
* `@alignCast` and `@addrSpaceCast` cannot be automatically rewritten
* `@truncate`'s fixup is incorrect for vectors
* Test cases are not formatted, and their error locations change
When we're compiling compiler_rt for any WebAssembly target, we do
not want to expose all the compiler-rt functions to the host runtime.
By setting the visibility of all exports to `hidden`, we allow the
linker to resolve the symbols during linktime, while not expose the
functions to the host runtime. This also means the linker can
properly garbage collect any compiler-rt function that does not get
resolved. The symbol visibility for all target remains the same as
before: `default`.
This is a partial revert of 0d533433e2,
which regressed this behavior. The idea here is to avoid aliases, which
happens when the same function is exported with multiple names. The
problem with aliases is that weak aliases don't seem to work, causing
symbol collisions when multiple of the same symbol are provided, despite
the desired behavior that weak symbols are overridden.
In this case we export redundant functions with different names. Thanks
to -ffunction-sections, the unused functions will be garbage-collected
at link time. This leaves us with the best of both worlds: Zig's
compiler-rt will provide both sets of symbols, and it will be
binary-compatible with different compilers that expect different names,
while still resulting in binaries without garbage.
This change also exposes some of the existing functions under both the
PPC-style names symbols and the compiler-rt-style names, since Zig
currently lowers softfloat calls to the latter.
wasm32-wasi-musl wants the standard symbol names however Linux requires
the `__gnu_*` flavors. I did not find any authoritative source on what
decides which symbol flavors to use. If we run into more trouble in the
future we can go back to having both.
The purpose of this branch is to switch to using an object file for each
independent function, in order to make linking simpler - instead of
relying on `-ffunction-sections` and `--gc-sections`, which involves the
linker doing the work of linking everything and then undoing work via
garbage collection, this will allow the linker to only include the
compilation units that are depended on in the first place.
This commit makes progress towards that goal.
