compiler-builtins
Porting compiler-rt
intrinsics to Rust
See rust-lang/rust#35437.
When and how to use this crate?
If you are working with a target that doesn't have binary releases of std
available via rustup (this probably means you are building the core crate
yourself) and need compiler-rt intrinsics (i.e. you are probably getting linker
errors when building an executable: undefined reference to __aeabi_memcpy
),
you can use this crate to get those intrinsics and solve the linker errors. To
do that, add this crate somewhere in the dependency graph of the crate you are
building:
# Cargo.toml
[dependencies]
compiler_builtins = { git = "https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-builtins" }
extern crate compiler_builtins;
// ...
If you still get an "undefined reference to $INTRINSIC" error after that change,
that means that we haven't ported $INTRINSIC
to Rust yet! Please open an
issue with the name of the intrinsic and the LLVM triple (e.g.
thumbv7m-none-eabi) of the target you are using. That way we can prioritize
porting that particular intrinsic.
If you've got a C compiler available for your target then while we implement
this intrinsic you can temporarily enable a fallback to the actual compiler-rt
implementation as well for unimplemented intrinsics:
[dependencies.compiler_builtins]
git = "https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-builtins"
features = ["c"]
Contributing
- Pick one or more intrinsics from the pending list.
- Fork this repository.
- Port the intrinsic(s) and their corresponding unit tests from their
C implementation to Rust.
- Implement a test generator to compare the behavior of the ported intrinsic(s)
with their implementation on the testing host. Note that randomized compiler-builtin tests
should be run using
cargo test --features gen-tests
.
- Send a Pull Request (PR).
- Once the PR passes our extensive testing infrastructure, we'll merge it!
- Celebrate :tada:
Porting Reminders
- Rust and C have slightly different operator precedence. C evaluates comparisons (
== !=
) before bitwise operations (& | ^
), while Rust evaluates the other way.
- C assumes wrapping operations everywhere. Rust panics on overflow when in debug mode. Consider using the Wrapping type or the explicit wrapping_* functions where applicable.
- Note C implicit casts, especially integer promotion. Rust is much more explicit about casting, so be sure that any cast which affects the output is ported to the Rust implementation.
- Rust has many functions for integer or floating point manipulation in the standard library. Consider using one of these functions rather than porting a new one.
Progress
These builtins are needed to support 128-bit integers, which are in the process of being added to Rust.
Unimplemented functions
These builtins involve floating-point types ("f128
", "f80
" and complex numbers) that are not supported by Rust.

Rust only exposes atomic types on platforms that support them, and therefore does not need to fall back to software implementations.
