Update ar_archive_writer to 0.2.0
This adds a whole bunch of tests checking for any difference with llvm's archive writer. It also fixes two mistakes in the porting from C++ to Rust. The first one causes a divergence for Mach-O archives which may or may not be harmless. The second will definitively cause issues, but only applies to thin archives, which rustc currently doesn't create.
Linker flavors next steps: linker features
This is my understanding of the first step towards `@petrochenkov's` vision for the future of linker flavors, described in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/119906#issuecomment-1895693162 and the discussion that followed.
To summarize: having `Cc` and `Lld` embedded in linker flavors creates tension about naming, and a combinatorial explosion of flavors for each new linker feature we'd want to use. Linker features are an extension mechanism that is complementary to principal flavors, with benefits described in #119906.
The most immediate use of this flag would be to turn self-contained linking on and off via features instead of flavors. For example, `-Clinker-features=+/-lld` would toggle using lld instead of selecting a precise flavor, and would be "generic" and work cross-platform (whereas linker flavors are currently more tied to targets). Under this scheme, MCP510 is expected to be `-Clink-self-contained=+linker -Zlinker-features=+lld -Zunstable-options` (though for the time being, the original flags using lld-cc flavors still work).
I purposefully didn't add or document CLI support for `+/-cc`, as it would be a noop right now. I only expect that we'd initially want to stabilize `+/-lld` to begin with.
r? `@petrochenkov`
You had requested that minimal churn would be done to the 230 target specs and this does none yet: the linker features are inferred from the flavor since they're currently isomorphic. We of course expect this to change sooner rather than later.
In the future, we can allow targets to define linker features independently from their flavor, and remove the cc and lld components from the flavors to use the features instead, this actually doesn't need to block stabilization, as we discussed.

Add `/System/iOSSupport` to the library search path on Mac Catalyst
On macOS, `/System/iOSSupport` contains iOS frameworks like UIKit, which is the whole idea of Mac Catalyst.
To link to these, we need to explicitly tell the linker about the support library stubs provided in the macOS SDK under the same path.
Concretely, when building a binary for Mac Catalyst, Xcode passes the following flags to the linker:
```
-iframework /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX14.2.sdk/System/iOSSupport/System/Library/Frameworks
-L/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX14.2.sdk/System/iOSSupport/usr/lib
```
This is not something that can be disabled (it's enabled as soon as you enable `SUPPORTS_MACCATALYST`), so I think it's pretty safe to say that we don't need an option to turn these off.
I've chosen to slightly deviate from what Xcode does and use `-F` instead of `-iframework`, since we don't need to change the header search path, and this way the flags nicely match on all the linkers. From what I could tell by reading Clang sources, there shouldn't be a difference when just running the linker.
CC `@BlackHoleFox,` `@shepmaster` (I accidentally let rustbot choose the reviewer).
While they're isomorphic, we can flip the lld component where
applicable, so that downstream doesn't have to check both the flavor and
the linker features.
This adds a whole bunch of tests checking for any difference with llvm's
archive writer. It also fixes two mistakes in the porting from C++ to
Rust. The first one causes a divergence for Mach-O archives which may or
may not be harmless. The second will definitively cause issues, but only
applies to thin archives, which rustc currently doesn't create.
Save/restore more items in cache with incremental compilation
Right now they don't play very well together, consider a simple example:
```
$ export RUSTFLAGS="--emit asm"
$ cargo new --lib foo
Created library `foo` package
$ cargo build -q
$ touch src/lib.rs
$ cargo build
error: could not copy
"/path/to/foo/target/debug/deps/foo-e307cc7fa7b6d64f.4qbzn9k8mosu50a5.rcgu.s"
to "/path/to/foo/target/debug/deps/foo-e307cc7fa7b6d64f.s":
No such file or directory (os error 2)
```
Touch triggers the rebuild, incremental compilation detects no changes (yay) and everything explodes while trying to copy files were they should go.
This pull request fixes it by copying and restoring more files in the incremental compilation cache

MSVC targets should use COFF as their archive format
While adding support for Arm64EC I ran into an issue where the standard library's rlib was missing the "EC Symbol Table" which is required for the MSVC linker to find import library symbols (generated by Rust's `raw-dylib` feature) when building for EC.
The root cause of the issue is that LLVM only generated symbol tables (including the EC Symbol Table) if the `ArchiveKind` is `COFF`, but the MSVC targets didn't set their archive format, so it was defaulting to GNU.
Add aarch64-apple-visionos and aarch64-apple-visionos-sim tier 3 targets
Introduces `aarch64-apple-visionos` and `aarch64-apple-visionos-sim` as tier 3 targets. This allows native development for the Apple Vision Pro's visionOS platform.
This work has been tracked in https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/642. There is a corresponding `libc` change https://github.com/rust-lang/libc/pull/3568 that is not required for merge.
Ideally we would be able to incorporate [this change](https://github.com/gimli-rs/object/pull/626) to the `object` crate, but the author has stated that a release will not be cut for quite a while. Therefore, the two locations that would reference the xrOS constant from `object` are hardcoded to their MachO values of 11 and 12, accompanied by TODOs to mark the code as needing change. I am open to suggestions on what to do here to get this checked in.
# Tier 3 Target Policy
At this tier, the Rust project provides no official support for a target, so we place minimal requirements on the introduction of targets.
> A tier 3 target must have a designated developer or developers (the "target maintainers") on record to be CCed when issues arise regarding the target. (The mechanism to track and CC such developers may evolve over time.)
See [src/doc/rustc/src/platform-support/apple-visionos.md](e88379034a/src/doc/rustc/src/platform-support/apple-visionos.md)
> Targets must use naming consistent with any existing targets; for instance, a target for the same CPU or OS as an existing Rust target should use the same name for that CPU or OS. Targets should normally use the same names and naming conventions as used elsewhere in the broader ecosystem beyond Rust (such as in other toolchains), unless they have a very good reason to diverge. Changing the name of a target can be highly disruptive, especially once the target reaches a higher tier, so getting the name right is important even for a tier 3 target.
> * Target names should not introduce undue confusion or ambiguity unless absolutely necessary to maintain ecosystem compatibility. For example, if the name of the target makes people extremely likely to form incorrect beliefs about what it targets, the name should be changed or augmented to disambiguate it.
> * If possible, use only letters, numbers, dashes and underscores for the name. Periods (.) are known to cause issues in Cargo.
This naming scheme matches `$ARCH-$VENDOR-$OS-$ABI` which is matches the iOS Apple Silicon simulator (`aarch64-apple-ios-sim`) and other Apple targets.
> Tier 3 targets may have unusual requirements to build or use, but must not
create legal issues or impose onerous legal terms for the Rust project or for
Rust developers or users.
> - The target must not introduce license incompatibilities.
> - Anything added to the Rust repository must be under the standard Rust license (`MIT OR Apache-2.0`).
> - The target must not cause the Rust tools or libraries built for any other host (even when supporting cross-compilation to the target) to depend on any new dependency less permissive than the Rust licensing policy. This applies whether the dependency is a Rust crate that would require adding new license exceptions (as specified by the `tidy` tool in the rust-lang/rust repository), or whether the dependency is a native library or binary. In other words, the introduction of the target must not cause a user installing or running a version of Rust or the Rust tools to besubject to any new license requirements.
> - Compiling, linking, and emitting functional binaries, libraries, or other code for the target (whether hosted on the target itself or cross-compiling from another target) must not depend on proprietary (non-FOSS) libraries. Host tools built for the target itself may depend on the ordinary runtime libraries supplied by the platform and commonly used by other applications built for the target, but those libraries must not be required for code generation for the target; cross-compilation to the target must not require such libraries at all. For instance, `rustc` built for the target may depend on a common proprietary C runtime library or console output library, but must not depend on a proprietary code generation library or code optimization library. Rust's license permits such combinations, but the Rust project has no interest in maintaining such combinations within the scope of Rust itself, even at tier 3.
> - "onerous" here is an intentionally subjective term. At a minimum, "onerous" legal/licensing terms include but are *not* limited to: non-disclosure requirements, non-compete requirements, contributor license agreements (CLAs) or equivalent, "non-commercial"/"research-only"/etc terms, requirements conditional on the employer or employment of any particular Rust developers, revocable terms, any requirements that create liability for the Rust project or its developers or users, or any requirements that adversely affect the livelihood or prospects of the Rust project or its developers or users.
This contribution is fully available under the standard Rust license with no additional legal restrictions whatsoever. This PR does not introduce any new dependency less permissive than the Rust license policy.
The new targets do not depend on proprietary libraries.
> Tier 3 targets should attempt to implement as much of the standard libraries as possible and appropriate (core for most targets, alloc for targets that can support dynamic memory allocation, std for targets with an operating system or equivalent layer of system-provided functionality), but may leave some code unimplemented (either unavailable or stubbed out as appropriate), whether because the target makes it impossible to implement or challenging to implement. The authors of pull requests are not obligated to avoid calling any portions of the standard library on the basis of a tier 3 target not implementing those portions.
This new target mirrors the standard library for watchOS and iOS, with minor divergences.
> The target must provide documentation for the Rust community explaining how to build for the target, using cross-compilation if possible. If the target supports running binaries, or running tests (even if they do not pass), the documentation must explain how to run such binaries or tests for the target, using emulation if possible or dedicated hardware if necessary.

> * This requirement does not prevent part or all of this policy from being cited in an explicit contract or work agreement (e.g. to implement or maintain support for a target).

I acknowledge these requirements and intend to ensure that they are met.
This target does not touch any existing tier 2 or tier 1 targets and should not break any other targets.

Don't emit an error about failing to produce a file with a specific name if user never gave an explicit name
Fixes#122509
You can ask `rustc` to produce some intermediate results with `--emit foo`, this operation comes in two flavors: `--emit asm` and `--emit asm=foo.s`. First one produces one or more `.s` files without any name guarantees, second one renames it into `foo.s`. Second version only works when compiler produces a single file - for asm files this means using a single compilation unit for example.
In case compilation produced more than a single file `rustc` runs following check to emit some warnings:
```rust
if crate_output.outputs.contains_key(&output_type) {
// 2) Multiple codegen units, with `--emit foo=some_name`. We have
// no good solution for this case, so warn the user.
sess.dcx().emit_warn(errors::IgnoringEmitPath { extension });
} else if crate_output.single_output_file.is_some() {
// 3) Multiple codegen units, with `-o some_name`. We have
// no good solution for this case, so warn the user.
sess.dcx().emit_warn(errors::IgnoringOutput { extension });
} else {
// 4) Multiple codegen units, but no explicit name. We
// just leave the `foo.0.x` files in place.
// (We don't have to do any work in this case.)
}
```
Comment in the final `else` branch implies that if user didn't ask for a specific name - there's no need to emit warnings. However because of the internal representation of `crate_output.outputs` - this doesn't work as expected: if user asked to produce an asm file without giving it an implicit name it will contain `Some(None)`.
To fix the problem new code actually checks if user gave an explicit name. I think this was an original intentional behavior, at least comments imply that.
LLD parses @ files like the command arguments on the platform it's on,
so on windows it needs to follow the MSVC style to work correctly.
Otherwise builds can fail if the linker command gets too long and the
build path contains spaces.
link.exe: Don't embed full path to PDB file in binary.
This PR makes `rustc` unconditionally pass `/PDBALTPATH:%_PDB%` to MSVC-style linkers, causing the linker to only embed the filename of the PDB in the binary instead of the full path. This will help implement the [trim-paths RFC](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/111540) for `*-msvc` targets.
Passing `/PDBALTPATH:%_PDB%` to the linker is already done by many projects that need reproducible builds and [debugger's should still be able to find the PDB](https://learn.microsoft.com/cpp/build/reference/pdbpath) if it is in the same directory as the binary.

LLVM Bitcode Linker: A self contained linker for nvptx and other targets
This PR introduces a new linker named `llvm-bitcode-linker`. It is a `self-contained` linker that can be used to link programs in `llbc` before optimizing and compiling to native code. It will first be used internally in the Rust compiler to enable tests for the `nvptx64-nvidia-cuda` target as the original `rust-ptx-linker` is deprecated. It will then be provided to users of the `nvptx64-nvidia-cuda` target with the purpose of linking ptx. More targets than nvptx will also be supported eventually.
The PR introduces a new unstable `LinkerFlavor` for the compiler. The compiler will also not be shipped with rustc but most likely instead be shipped in it's own unstable component (a follow up PR will be opened for this). This means that merging this PR should not add any stability guarantees.
When more details of `self-contained` is implemented it will only be possible to use the linker when `-Clink-self-contained=+linker` is passed.
<details>
<summary>Original Description</summary>
**When this PR was created it was focused a bit differently. The original text is preserved here in case there's some interests in it**
I have experimenting with approaches to replace the ptx-linker and enable the nvptx target tests again. I think it's time to get some feedback on the approach.
### The problem
The only useful linker for the nvptx target is [this crate](https://github.com/denzp/rust-ptx-linker). Since this linker performs linking on llvm bitcode it needs to track the llvm version of rustc and use the same format. It has not been maintained for 3+ years and must be considered abandoned. Over the years rust have upgraded LLVM while the linker has been left to bitrot. It is no longer in a usable state.
Due to the difficulty of keeping the ptx-linker up to date outside of tree the nvptx tests was [disabled a long time ago](f8f9a2869c). It was [previously discussed](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/96842#issuecomment-1146470177) if adding the ptx-linker to the rust repo would be a possibility. My efforts in doing this stopped at getting an answered if the license would prohibit it from inclusion in the [Rust repo](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/96842#issuecomment-1148397554). I therefore concluded that a re-write would be necessary.
### The possible solution presented here
The llvm tools know perfectly well how to link and optimize llvm bitcode. Each of them only perform a single task, and are therefore a bit cumbersome to call with the current linker approach rustc takes.
This PR adds a simple tool (current name `embedded-linker`) which can link self contained (often embedded) programs in llvm bitcode before compiling to the target format. Optimization will also be performed if lto is enabled. The rust compiler will make a single invocation to this tool, while the tool will orchestrate the many calls to the llvm tools.
### The questions
- Is having control over the nvptx linking and therefore also tests worth it to add such tool? or should the tool live outside the rust repo?
- Is the approach of calling llvm tools acceptable? Or would we want to keep the ptx-linker approach of using the llvm library? The tools seems to provide more simplicity and stability, but more intermediate files are being written. Perhaps there also are some performance penalty for the calling tools approach.
- What is the process for adding such tool? MCP?
- Does adding `llvm-link` to the llvm-tool component require any process?
- Does it require some sort of FCP to remove ptx-linker as the default linker for ptx? Or is it sufficient that using the upstream ptx-linker is broken in its current state. it is possible to use a somewhat patched version of ptx-linker.

Both `core` and `alloc` are supported.

Understood.
`-s` option doesn't perfectly fit into debuginfo()'s semantics and may unexpectedly
remove metadata in shared libraries. Remove the implementation and suggest user to
use `strip` utility instead.
