LLVM already supports emitting compressed debuginfo. In debuginfo=full builds, the debug section is often a large amount of data, and it typically compresses very well (3x is not unreasonable.) We add a new knob to allow debuginfo to be compressed when the matching LLVM functionality is present. Like clang, if a known-but-disabled compression mechanism is requested, we disable compression and emit uncompressed debuginfo sections.

The API is different enough on older LLVMs we just pretend the support
is missing on LLVM older than 16.

is this failure because our CI does not have zlib installed?

durin42 commented Aug 30, 2023

That's my assumption - I'm not familiar enough with the Rust project's LLVM setup to know how to check.

I'm also not sure how to make the test gracefully degrade if zlib is missing. :(

If compression is requested but not available, a warning might be appropriate. Then you could check for presence of the warning.

durin42 commented Aug 30, 2023

Right - I'm not sure how I should be printing a warning from where I've got access to the LLVM API in question. Any pointers?

Alternatively, if I can run ld.lld in the test, I can check what compression methods it supports.

Oh, I might have had the dumb. I may see what I missed on my last attempt to print the warning...

durin42 commented Aug 30, 2023

Ah, I remember the stumbling block I hit: rustc_codegen_llvm isn't currently used by rustc_session, and that seems like a layering violation to me naively, so I can't call into the FFI functions to look if the requested compression is available from there. But by the time we're in a location where we can check that in rustc_codegen_llvm, I don't seem to have a way to emit warnings at all (eg from target_machine_factory) - so I'm stumped where I should do this - if there's an example on how to emit the warning based on the codegen backend, I'm sadly missing it. :(

Any hints?

Manishearth got me sorted as far as I can tell on printing the diagnostic, and I came up with some Shell Crimes for the test in the makefile, so I think this is ready for review.

#115606 (comment)

Using `ld.lld` may have been clever, but that was getting the /system/
ld.lld, not one we may have built as part of building llvm. By using the
warning message coming directly from rustc we now correctly skip the
zlib and zstd tests when the support is missing.

Rebased (thus the force push) and reworked test to actually do what it says on the tin.

Just tried this option got warning: unknown debuginfo compression algorithm zstd - will fall back to uncompressed debuginfo, how to use zstd as compression method?

That means the LLVM your rustc was compiled against didn't have zstandard support enabled. zlib is probably already on, maybe try that?
