v5 cover Add support for the Rust programming language

This series adds support for the Rust programming language by adding the following packages:

- rustc: a virtual package for the Rust compiler.
- rust-bin: provides a pre-built version of rustc.
- rust: builds rustc from source.

Both providers are able to cross-compile code for ARM, MIPS, PowerPC and x86_64 architectures. Only the host variants are provided.

The rustc virtual package is inspired by the mysql one.

As the Rust compiler is written in Rust and uses Cargo, the Rust package manager, as build system, two additional packages are provided: rust-bootstrap and cargo-bootstrap.

v4 -> v5:

- add rustc virtual package
- add rust-bin, provider for rustc
- rework rust to be a provider for rustc
- rework some commit messages

v3 -> v4:

- bump rust to 1.16.0
- bump rust-bootstrap to 1.15.1
- add cargo-bootstrap
- use built-in target specifications
- drop external Python script to generate target specifications
- enable support for PowerPC
- expose host variant in menuconfig

v2 -> v3:

- bump rust to 1.10.0
- rework and bump rust-bootstrap to 1.9.0
- host-rust requires at least GCC 4.7 because of LLVM (suggested by R. Naour)
- rust requires a glibc-based cross-compiler
- rust requires GCC 5.x or above for Aarch64

v1 -> v2:

- bump rust to version 1.9.0.
- drop patch for bzip2 support in host-python.
- add package for jemalloc.
- add dependency on host being a x86 machine.
- add dependency on toolchain.
- use dedicated package to provide bootstrapping binary: rust-bootstrap.
- let ./configure find out host/build on its own.
- remove entry from configuration menu.
- clarify some comments.

PATCH v5 1/7 pkg-virtual: fix host dependencies handling

If $(BR2_PACKAGE_HAS_HOST_FOO) is defined, then the pkg-virtual infrastructure will check if $(BR2_PACKAGE_PROVIDES_HOST_FOO) is not empty.

But later, $(BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_FOO_DEPENDENCIES) will be set from $(BR2_PACKAGE_PROVIDES_FOO), ignoring $(BR2_PACKAGE_PROVIDES_HOST_FOO).

So fix this discrepancy by setting $(BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_FOO_DEPENDENCIES) from $(BR2_PACKAGE_PROVIDES_FOO) only if $(BR2_PACKAGE_PROVIDES_HOST_FOO) is empty.

PATCH v5 2/7 rustc: new virtual package

In reply to Eric Le Bihan

The compiler for the Rust programming language is called rustc.

There is only one reference implementation for it, based on LLVM, from the Rust project [1]. It can generate code for various architectures so it can be labeled as a cross-compiler. But, as for GCC, building it from source takes time.

So it would be sensible to have at least one package which provides it as a pre-built version, fetched from the upstream project. Later another package can be added, to build it from source code.

In addition to the compiler, the standard library for the host and/or the target should also be fetched/built.

So, add a virtual package named rustc to enable support for multiple providers.

Currently, only the host variant will be available to allow the user to cross-compile Rust programs for the target.

PATCH v5 3/7 rust-bin: new package

In reply to Eric Le Bihan

This package provides a pre-built version of rustc, the compiler for the Rust programming language, fetched from the upstream project.

A pre-built version of the standard library for the host as well as one for the chosen target are also fetched and installed.

Only the host variant is provided to allow the user to cross-compile Rust programs and run them on the target.

The menuconfig entry for rustc is also updated to expose this provider.

This new package fetches a binary snapshot of Cargo, suitable to bootstrap the host variants of the Rust compiler and Cargo, the package manager.

Note that, contrary to rust-bootstrap which fetches version N-1 of the rustc binary, this package fetches a nightly version of the cargo binary, as upstream does not provide binaries for stable releases.

PATCH v5 7/7 rust: new package

In reply to Eric Le Bihan

This new package provides rustc, the compiler for the Rust programming language, built from source.

Currently, only the host variant is built.

The Rust compiler uses LLVM as its backend: a copy of LLVM source code is provided and CMake is used to build it. It is possible to use a pre-built external copy. When LLVM/clang will be available in Buildroot, it would be possible to benefit from this feature and thus decrease build time.

LLVM is configured to generate code for x86, ARM, PowerPC and MIPS architectures.

The Rust compiler uses Cargo as its build system and is written in Rust. Therefore this package depends on cargo-bootstrap and rust-bootstrap.

The internal build process is as follows:

1. rustc-stage0, provided by rust-bootstrap, is used to build rustc-stage1.
2. rust-stage1 builds the final Rust compiler (rust-stage2) and the standard library for the host architecture.
3. the standard library for the target architecture is built.

The target architecture to support is given by the GNU/LLVM target triple. Rust supports some predefined targets [1]. As the build system expects the triple to be in the form of <arch>-unknown-<system> and Buildroot toolchain wrapper uses <arch>-buildroot-<system>, the package Makefile uses $(RUST_TARGET_NAME) defined in the rustc package and uses it instead of $(GNU_TARGET_NAME).

When compiling Rust code with this compiler, the generated program only depends on the target C library, as it is statically linked to the Rust standard library and any other code from Rust packages (a.k.a. "crates").

If the jemalloc package is selected, support for this memory allocator will be enabled in the target standard library.

The menuconfig entry for rustc is also updated to expose this provider.

v5 cover Add support for the Rust programming language

In reply to Eric Le Bihan

Hi Eric,

Quoted 7 lines · Eric Le Bihan

This series adds support for the Rust programming language by adding the following packages:
- rustc: a virtual package for the Rust compiler.
- rust-bin: provides a pre-built version of rustc.
- rust: builds rustc from source.

Quoted 8 lines

Both providers are able to cross-compile code for ARM, MIPS, PowerPC and x86_64 architectures. Only the host variants are provided.
The rustc virtual package is inspired by the mysql one.
As the Rust compiler is written in Rust and uses Cargo, the Rust package manager, as build system, two additional packages are provided: rust-bootstrap and cargo-bootstrap.

Many thanks for the work! I'll look into it, when I've some spare time.
