Subject: rust: support overriding crate_name
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7e9535ebd05d7e8de155164b7c97a370d4646e06;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

rust: support overriding crate_name

Currently you cannot filter out the crate-name argument
RUSTFLAGS_REMOVE_stem.o because the Rust filter-out invocation does not
include that particular argument. Since --crate-name is an argument that
can't be passed multiple times, this means that it's currently not
possible to override the crate name. Thus, remove the --crate-name
argument for drivers. This allows them to override the crate name using
the #![crate_name] annotation.

This affects symbol names, but has no effect on the filenames of object
files and other things generated by the build, as we always use --emit
with a fixed output filename.

The --crate-name argument is kept for the crates under rust/ for
simplicity and to avoid changing many of them by adding #![crate_name].

The rust analyzer script is updated to use rustc to obtain the crate
name of the driver crates, which picks up the right name whether it is
configured via #![crate_name] or not. For readability, the logic to
invoke 'rustc' is extracted to its own function.

Note that the crate name in the python script is not actually that
important - the only place where the name actually affects anything is
in the 'deps' array which specifies an index and name for each
dependency, and determines what that dependency is called in *this*
crate. (The same crate may be called different things in each
dependency.) Since driver crates are leaf crates, this doesn't apply and
the rustc invocation only affects the 'display_name' parameter.
