This requires -nostartfiles to be only passed to the linker, not the
compiler, as it is a linker flag and passing it to the compiler causes a
clang warning to be emitted.
Additionally, clang does not seem to support `-mcmodel=medlow` and
`-msmall-data-limit=8` but these options do not seem strictly necessary
to me anyhow thus they are deactivated conditionally when using clang.
Split out Gunar Schorcht's clever approach to provide thread safe malloc for
AVR into a system module and make AVR depend on this. This allows other
platforms to also use this.
Use riscv-none-elf instead of legacy riscv-none-embed as target triplet for
RISC-V development. However, if ricsv-none-elf is not present, try
riscv64-unknown-elf and riscv-none-embed instead. If the legacy riscv-none-embed
is used, a warning is printed.
Add `TARGET_ARCH_<ARCH>` for each architecture (e.g. `TARGET_ARCH_CORTEX` for
Cortex M) to allow users to overwrite the target triple for a specific arch
from ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc (or the like) without overwriting it for all others
as well.
This adds cortexm_fpu to the DEFAULT_MODULE list when the feature
cortexm_fpu is provided by the architecture. It also moves the
dependency resolution of this module to the architecture-specific
Makefile.dep file.
This moves the following modules to a architecture-specific Makefile.dep
file:
- cortexm_common
- cortexm_common_periph
- newlib
- newlib_nano
- periph
Remove the workaround for clang 3.6.2 that did not support
'cortex-m0plus'.
clang 3.8 was already supporting it according to the PR introducing the check.
clang >=3.8 is avaible since ubuntu-xenial and debian-stretch.
The current ubuntu-bionic has clang 6 and debian-buster clang 7.
This removes overwriting 'CPU_ARCH'.
Use the -gz option to compress ELF sections containing DWARF information.
This saves around 50% of disk space, without any side effects.
See https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-9.2.0/gcc/Debugging-Options.html#Debugging-Options
for more infomation on this option.
Some platforms have an outdated toolchain that does not support -gz so
the flag is blacklisted there. Even then, the results are quite impressive.
I used @cladmi's `buildtest` branch (https://github.com/cladmi/RIOT/tree/wip/du/buildtest)
with this change and compiled the `examples/default` application:
```
$ BUILD_IN_DOCKER=1 DOCKER="sudo docker" make -C examples/default buildtest-indocker
```
The size was obtained with:
```
$ find output -name "*.bin.bindirsize" -type f -exec tail -n1 '{}' \; | cut -f 1 | awk '{s+=$1} END {printf "%.0f", s}'
```
Results:
- Vanilla: 10328112 KB (~10GB).
- with -gz: 4982788 KB (~5GB).
This was inspired by #8496.
