Stabilize `linker-flavor` flag. #56351

davidtwco · 2018-11-29T21:02:05Z

Part of #55396.

This commit moves the linker-flavor flag from a debugging option to a
codegen option, thus stabilizing it. There are no feature flags
associated with this flag.

We had a blunder a little while ago and ended up stabilising a behaviour in -Clinker that would automatically infer the -Clinker-flavor from the filename. That regressed some previous users of -Clinker that were relying on this flag not inferring the -Clinker-flavor in certain ways.

We cannot revert -Clinker behaviour and it is very likely that we want to keep the infer-ful behaviour either way. Therefore, it is important for us to provide a way to override this behaviour in some way and -Clinker-flavor enables user to do exactly that.

I’m pushing this through an FCP to avoid the same issue that occurred when -Clinker got stabilised without the due diligence on reviewing the pitfalls.

Pkgsrc changes: * Bump required rust version to build to 1.32.0. * Adapt patches to changed file locations. * Since we now patch some more vendor/ modules, doctor the corresponding .cargo-checksum.json files accordingly Upstream changes: Version 1.33.0 (2019-02-28) ========================== Language -------- - [You can now use the `cfg(target_vendor)` attribute.][57465] E.g. `#[cfg(target_vendor="apple")] fn main() { println!("Hello Apple!"); }` - [Integer patterns such as in a match expression can now be exhaustive.][56362] E.g. You can have match statement on a `u8` that covers `0..=255` and you would no longer be required to have a `_ => unreachable!()` case. - [You can now have multiple patterns in `if let` and `while let` expressions.][57532] You can do this with the same syntax as a `match` expression. E.g. ```rust enum Creature { Crab(String), Lobster(String), Person(String), } fn main() { let state = Creature::Crab("Ferris"); if let Creature::Crab(name) | Creature::Person(name) = state { println!("This creature's name is: {}", name); } } ``` - [You can now have irrefutable `if let` and `while let` patterns.][57535] Using this feature will by default produce a warning as this behaviour can be unintuitive. E.g. `if let _ = 5 {}` - [You can now use `let` bindings, assignments, expression statements, and irrefutable pattern destructuring in const functions.][57175] - [You can now call unsafe const functions.][57067] E.g. ```rust const unsafe fn foo() -> i32 { 5 } const fn bar() -> i32 { unsafe { foo() } } ``` - [You can now specify multiple attributes in a `cfg_attr` attribute.][57332] E.g. `#[cfg_attr(all(), must_use, optimize)]` - [You can now specify a specific alignment with the `#[repr(packed)]` attribute.][57049] E.g. `#[repr(packed(2))] struct Foo(i16, i32);` is a struct with an alignment of 2 bytes and a size of 6 bytes. - [You can now import an item from a module as an `_`.][56303] This allows you to import a trait's impls, and not have the name in the namespace. E.g. ```rust use std::io::Read as _; // Allowed as there is only one `Read` in the module. pub trait Read {} ``` - [You may now use `Rc`, `Arc`, and `Pin` as method receivers][56805]. Compiler -------- - [You can now set a linker flavor for `rustc` with the `-Clinker-flavor` command line argument.][56351] - [The mininum required LLVM version has been bumped to 6.0.][56642] - [Added support for the PowerPC64 architecture on FreeBSD.][57615] - [The `x86_64-fortanix-unknown-sgx` target support has been upgraded to tier 2 support.][57130] Visit the [platform support][platform-support] page for information on Rust's platform support. - [Added support for the `thumbv7neon-linux-androideabi` and `thumbv7neon-unknown-linux-gnueabihf` targets.][56947] - [Added support for the `x86_64-unknown-uefi` target.][56769] Libraries --------- - [The methods `overflowing_{add, sub, mul, shl, shr}` are now `const` functions for all numeric types.][57566] - [The methods `rotate_left`, `rotate_right`, and `wrapping_{add, sub, mul, shl, shr}` are now `const` functions for all numeric types.][57105] - [The methods `is_positive` and `is_negative` are now `const` functions for all signed numeric types.][57105] - [The `get` method for all `NonZero` types is now `const`.][57167] - [The methods `count_ones`, `count_zeros`, `leading_zeros`, `trailing_zeros`, `swap_bytes`, `from_be`, `from_le`, `to_be`, `to_le` are now `const` for all numeric types.][57234] - [`Ipv4Addr::new` is now a `const` function][57234] Stabilized APIs --------------- - [`unix::FileExt::read_exact_at`] - [`unix::FileExt::write_all_at`] - [`Option::transpose`] - [`Result::transpose`] - [`convert::identity`] - [`pin::Pin`] - [`marker::Unpin`] - [`marker::PhantomPinned`] - [`Vec::resize_with`] - [`VecDeque::resize_with`] - [`Duration::as_millis`] - [`Duration::as_micros`] - [`Duration::as_nanos`] Cargo ----- - [Cargo should now rebuild a crate if a file was modified during the initial build.][cargo/6484] Compatibility Notes ------------------- - The methods `str::{trim_left, trim_right, trim_left_matches, trim_right_matches}` are now deprecated in the standard library, and their usage will now produce a warning. Please use the `str::{trim_start, trim_end, trim_start_matches, trim_end_matches}` methods instead. - The `Error::cause` method has been deprecated in favor of `Error::source` which supports downcasting.
