![]() The rust-toolchain file can also store an exact nightly snapshot (instead of just "nightly"), so we can store whatever snapshot that rustc_codegen_cranelift is known to work with. This also lets us add a new feature to `cargo.sh` to let it use the exact same nightly snapshot as cg_clif. If there's a nightly compiler mismatch, you get a confusing error message like: error: couldn't load codegen backend "librustc_codegen_cranelift.so": "librustc_driver-681e2b4f66c73d3e.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" So doing this automatically in cargo.sh is useful. |

WIP Cranelift codegen backend for rust
⚠⚠⚠ Threads and certain kinds of FFI don't work yet. ⚠⚠⚠
Building
$ git clone https://github.com/bjorn3/rustc_codegen_cranelift.git
$ cd rustc_codegen_cranelift
$ ./prepare.sh # download and patch sysroot src and install hyperfine for benchmarking
$ ./test.sh --release
Usage
$cg_clif_dir
is the directory you cloned this repo into in the following instruction.
Cargo
$ CHANNEL="release" $cg_clif_dir/cargo.sh run
If you compiled cg_clif in debug mode you should use CHANNEL="debug"
instead or omit CHANNEL="release"
completely.
Rustc
$ rustc -Cpanic=abort -Zcodegen-backend=$cg_clif_dir/target/release/librustc_codegen_cranelift.so --sysroot $cg_clif_dir/build_sysroot/sysroot my_crate.rs
Not yet supported
- Good non-rust abi support (several problems)
- Checked binops (some missing instructions in cranelift)
- Inline assembly (no cranelift support, not coming soon)
- SIMD (tracked here, some basic things work)
Troubleshooting
Can't compile
Try updating your nightly compiler. You can try to use an nightly a day or two older if updating rustc doesn't fix it. If you still can't compile it, please fill an issue.
