Direct users towards using Rust target feature names in CLI This PR consists of a couple of changes on how we handle target features. In particular there is a bug-fix wherein we avoid passing through features that aren't prefixed by `+` or `-` to LLVM. These appear to be causing LLVM to assert, which is pretty poor a behaviour (and also makes it pretty clear we expect feature names to be prefixed). The other commit, I anticipate to be somewhat more controversial is outputting a warning when users specify a LLVM-specific, or otherwise unknown, feature name on the CLI. In those situations we request users to either replace it with a known Rust feature name (e.g. `bmi` -> `bmi1`) or file a feature request. I've a couple motivations for this: first of all, if users are specifying these features on the command line, I'm pretty confident there is also a need for these features to be usable via `#[cfg(target_feature)]` machinery. And second, we're growing a fair number of backends recently and having ability to provide some sort of unified-ish interface in this place seems pretty useful to me. Sponsored by: standard.ai |
