Rollup merge of rust-lang#40702 - mrhota:global_asm, r=mw
Implement global_asm!() (RFC 1548) This is a first attempt. ~~One (potential) problem I haven't solved is how to handle multiple usages of `global_asm!` in a module/crate. It looks like `LLVMSetModuleInlineAsm` overwrites module asm, and `LLVMAppendModuleInlineAsm` is not provided in LLVM C headers 😦~~ I can provide more detail as needed, but honestly, there's not a lot going on here. r? @eddyb CC @Amanieu @jackpot51 Tracking issue: rust-lang#35119

# `global_asm` | ||
|
||
The tracking issue for this feature is: [#35119] | ||
|
||
[#35119]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/35119 | ||
|
||
------------------------ | ||
|
||
The `global_asm!` macro allows the programmer to write arbitrary | ||
assembly outside the scope of a function body, passing it through | ||
`rustc` and `llvm` to the assembler. The macro is a no-frills | ||
interface to LLVM's concept of [module-level inline assembly]. That is, | ||
all caveats applicable to LLVM's module-level inline assembly apply | ||
to `global_asm!`. | ||
|
||
[module-level inline assembly]: http://llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html#module-level-inline-assembly | ||
|
||
`global_asm!` fills a role not currently satisfied by either `asm!` | ||
or `#[naked]` functions. The programmer has _all_ features of the | ||
assembler at their disposal. The linker will expect to resolve any | ||
symbols defined in the inline assembly, modulo any symbols marked as | ||
external. It also means syntax for directives and assembly follow the | ||
conventions of the assembler in your toolchain. | ||
|
||
A simple usage looks like this: | ||
|
||
```rust,ignore | ||
# #![feature(global_asm)] | ||
# you also need relevant target_arch cfgs | ||
global_asm!(include_str!("something_neato.s")); | ||
``` | ||
|
||
And a more complicated usage looks like this: | ||
|
||
```rust,ignore | ||
# #![feature(global_asm)] | ||
# #![cfg(any(target_arch = "x86", target_arch = "x86_64"))] | ||
pub mod sally { | ||
global_asm!(r#" | ||
.global foo | ||
foo: | ||
jmp baz | ||
"#); | ||
#[no_mangle] | ||
pub unsafe extern "C" fn baz() {} | ||
} | ||
// the symbols `foo` and `bar` are global, no matter where | ||
// `global_asm!` was used. | ||
extern "C" { | ||
fn foo(); | ||
fn bar(); | ||
} | ||
pub mod harry { | ||
global_asm!(r#" | ||
.global bar | ||
bar: | ||
jmp quux | ||
"#); | ||
#[no_mangle] | ||
pub unsafe extern "C" fn quux() {} | ||
} | ||
``` | ||
|
||
You may use `global_asm!` multiple times, anywhere in your crate, in | ||
whatever way suits you. The effect is as if you concatenated all | ||
usages and placed the larger, single usage in the crate root. | ||
|
||
------------------------ | ||
|
||
If you don't need quite as much power and flexibility as | ||
`global_asm!` provides, and you don't mind restricting your inline | ||
assembly to `fn` bodies only, you might try the [asm](asm.html) | ||
feature instead. |
