This updates and reformats the doc file for the runtime package. The list of things that need to be implemented for a compiler runtime to work has been updated in accordance with recent changes to runtime (notably `cstring16` and `string16` types and `#load_directory`). Some copy-paste errors around string-comparison procedures have been fixed. The file has been renamed to `doc.odin` as per convention, the comment has been moved to the top of the package declaration and the comment is now markdown-formatted. Also wrote down a little map to maybe slightly help with understanding navigation within package runtime's files and added a few more explanations as to why that list of declarations exists and how to use it. The list of declarations has been detailed to some degree, explaining under what conditions the declarations are required.

Declarations which are required by the compiler

|
## Descriptions of files
|
|
|
|
There are a lot of files in this package and below is described roughly what
|
|
kind of functionality is placed in different files:
|
|
|
|
| File pattern | Description
|
|
|----------------------|------------------------------------------------------|
|
|
| `core.odin` | Contains the declarations that compiler will require to be present. Contains context-related declarations, `Type_Info` declarations and some other types used to implement the runtime and other packages. |
|
|
| `core_builtin*.odin` | Contain `@(builtin)` declarations that can be used without importing the package. Most of them aren't required by the compiler |
|
|
| `default_*.odin` | Contain default implementations for context allocators |
|
|
| `entry_*.odin` | Contain OS-specific entry points |
|
|
| `os_specific_*.odin` | Contain OS-specific utility procedures |
|
|
| `*internal*.odin` | Contain implementations for internal procedures that can be called by the compiler |
|
|
|
|
## Implementing custom runtime
|
|
|
|
For embedded and kernel development it might be required to re-implement parts
|
|
of the `base:runtime` package. This can include changing the default printing
|
|
procedures that handle console output when the program panics, custom
|
|
entry-points, tailored for a specific platform or execution environment, or
|
|
simply switching up implementations of some procedures.
|
|
|
|
In case this is required, the following is suggested:
|
|
|
|
1. Define `$ODIN_ROOT` environment variable to point to a directory within your
|
|
project that contains the following directories: `base/`, `core/` and `vendor/`.
|
|
2. Inside the `$ODIN_ROOT/base` subdirectory, implement the *necessary
|
|
declarations*.
|
|
|
|
What constitutes the necessary definitions is described below.
|
|
|
|
### Context-related
|
|
|
|
The compiler will require these declarations as they concern the `context`
|
|
variable.
|
|
|
|
* `Maybe`
|
|
* `Source_Code_Location`
|
|
* `Context`
|
|
* `Allocator`
|
|
* `Random_Generator`
|
|
* `Logger`
|
|
* `__init_context`
|
|
|
|
### Runtime initialization/cleanup
|
|
|
|
These are not strictly required for compilation, but if global variables or
|
|
`@(init)`/`@(fini)` blocks are used, these procedures need to be called inside
|
|
the entry point.
|
|
|
|
* `_startup_runtime`
|
|
* `_cleanup_runtime`
|
|
|
|
### Type assertion check
|
|
|
|
These procedures are called every time `.(Type)` expressions are used in order
|
|
to check the union tag or the underlying type of `any` before returning the
|
|
value of the underlying type. These are not required if `-no-type-assert` is
|
|
specified.
|
|
|
|
* `type_assertion_check`
|
|
* `type_assertion_check2` (takes in typeid)
|
|
|
|
### Bounds checking procedures
|
|
|
|
These procedures are called every time index or slicing expression are used in
|
|
order to perform bounds-checking before the actual operation. These are not
|
|
required if the `-no-bounds-check` option is specified.
|
|
|
|
* `bounds_check_error`
|
|
* `matrix_bounds_check_error`
|
|
* `slice_expr_error_hi`
|
|
* `slice_expr_error_lo_hi`
|
|
* `multi_pointer_slice_expr_error`
|
|
|
|
### cstring calls
|
|
|
|
If `cstring` or `cstring16` types are used, these procedures are required.
|
|
|
|
* `cstring_to_string`
|
|
* `cstring_len`
|
|
* `cstring16_to_string16`
|
|
* `cstring16_len`
|
|
|
|
### Comparison
|
|
|
|
These procedures are required for comparison operators between strings and other
|
|
compound types to function properly. If strings, structs nor unions are compared,
|
|
only `string_eq` procedure is required.
|
|
|
|
* `memory_equal`
|
|
* `memory_compare`
|
|
* `memory_compare_zero`
|
|
* `cstring_eq`
|
|
* `cstring16_eq`
|
|
* `cstring_ne`
|
|
* `cstring16_ne`
|
|
* `cstring_lt`
|
|
* `cstring16_lt`
|
|
* `cstring_gt`
|
|
* `cstring16_gt`
|
|
* `cstring_le`
|
|
* `cstring16_le`
|
|
* `cstring_ge`
|
|
* `cstring16_ge`
|
|
* `string_eq`
|
|
* `string16_eq`
|
|
* `string_ne`
|
|
* `string16_ne`
|
|
* `string_lt`
|
|
* `string16_lt`
|
|
* `string_gt`
|
|
* `string16_gt`
|
|
* `string_le`
|
|
* `string16_le`
|
|
* `string_ge`
|
|
* `string16_ge`
|
|
* `complex32_eq`
|
|
* `complex32_ne`
|
|
* `complex64_eq`
|
|
* `complex64_ne`
|
|
* `complex128_eq`
|
|
* `complex128_ne`
|
|
* `quaternion64_eq`
|
|
* `quaternion64_ne`
|
|
* `quaternion128_eq`
|
|
* `quaternion128_ne`
|
|
* `quaternion256_eq`
|
|
* `quaternion256_ne`
|
|
|
|
### for-in `string` type
|
|
|
|
These procedures are required to iterate strings using `for ... in` loop. If this
|
|
kind of loop isn't used, these procedures aren't required.
|
|
|
|
* `string_decode_rune`
|
|
* `string_decode_last_rune` (for `#reverse for`)
|
|
|
|
### Required when RTTI is enabled (the vast majority of targets)
|
|
|
|
These declarations are required unless the `-no-rtti` compiler option is
|
|
specified. Note that in order to be useful, some other procedures need to be
|
|
implemented. Those procedures aren't mentioned here as the compiler won't
|
|
complain if they're missing.
|
|
|
|
* `Type_Info`
|
|
* `type_table`
|
|
* `__type_info_of`
