Add support for custom JSON targets when using build-std. #120232

c272 · 2024-01-22T11:42:08Z

Currently, when building with build-std, some library build scripts check properties of the target by inspecting the target triple at env::TARGET, which is simply set to the filename of the JSON file when using JSON target files.

This patch alters these build scripts to use env::CARGO_CFG_* to fetch target information instead, allowing JSON target files describing platforms without restricted_std to build correctly when using -Z build-std. There are some weak assertions here (for example, nintendo && newlib), however this seems at least a marginal improvement on the existing solution.

Fixes rust-lang/wg-cargo-std-aware#60.

Mark-Simulacrum · 2024-01-23T00:42:27Z

To make sure I understand the problem this is solving, you have custom target spec JSON not named after the triplet for the target? E.g., it looks to me like making the file x86_64-linux-special-gnu.json would probably also make all of these build scripts work?

(Doesn't make this change a bad one but want to make sure I understand the problem)

c272 · 2024-01-23T09:45:06Z

@Mark-Simulacrum Yes, renaming the JSON target file to include "linux" in the filename would allow the target to build (in the linked issue, the author is using mytarget.json, so none of the clauses match). The current behaviour seems a bit imprecise, for example you could currently name a target file "contour" or something similarly unrelated and catch the "nto" clause unknowingly, or have a valid target with a different filename that doesn't compile as above.

As I understand it restricted-std is meant to prevent being able to use libstd on stable for targets that we don't actually support libstd support for once -Zbuild-std is stabilized. When using custom json targets, IMO it shouldn't be stable as libstd changes may break support in the future even if it happens to work currently.

Hm, I think that seems reasonable. We have a long-standing issue about making custom target specs entirely unstable (#71009), which seems like the better fix to me. Or an explicit guard here if we want (not sure how feasible that is). I'd be ok cutting this specific change.

Giving `--target=file.json some unstable-machinery at the CLI level, to me, would clearly imply that std doesn't support JSON targets in the same way Rust doesn't.

At the moment I'm not sure how a build script would detect a JSON target without the old broken TARGET behaviour

Fixed the typo, and the new patch should also fix the test failures - all linux-android targets report their OS as android and not linux, which I overlooked.

This PR aims to pin down exactly what restricted_std is meant to achieve and what it isn't. This commit fixes rust-lang/wg-cargo-std-aware#87 by explaining why the error appears and what the choices the user has. The error describes how std cannot function without knowing about some form of OS/platform support. Any features of std that work without an OS should be moved to core/alloc (see rust-lang#27242 rust-lang#103765). Note that the message says "platform" and "environment" because, since rust-lang#120232, libstd can be built for some JSON targets. This is still unsupported (all JSON targets probably should be unstable rust-lang/wg-cargo-std-aware#90), but a JSON target with the right configuration should hopefully have some partial libstd support. I propose closing rust-lang/wg-cargo-std-aware#69 as "Won't fix" since any support of std without properly configured os, vendor or env fields is very fragile considering future upgrades of Rust or dependencies. In addition there's no likely path to it being fixed long term (making std buildable for all targets being the only solution). This is distinct from tier 3 platforms with limited std support implemented (and as such aren't restricted_std) because these platforms can conceptually work in the future and std support should mainly improve over time. The alternative to closing rust-lang/wg-cargo-std-aware#69 is a new crate feature for std which escapes the restricted_std mechanism in build.rs. It could be used with the -Zbuild-std-features flag if we keep it permanently unstable, which I hope we can do anyway. A minor side-effect in this scenario is that std wouldn't be marked as unstable if documentation for it were generated with build-std.
