all: support for Go 1.27 by deadprogram · Pull Request #5477 · tinygo-org/tinygo

deadprogram · 2026-06-25T20:27:18Z

This PR is to add support for Go 1.27

Current passes tests on 1.27-rc2

Size difference with the dev branch:

Added another commit with support for the new //go:linknamestd directive that is new in Go 1.27

deadprogram · 2026-06-30T20:29:24Z

It got further. I think perhaps the new set of errors might have to do with the SSA changes for generics we were just discussing @jakebailey @aykevl

deadprogram · 2026-07-01T08:22:32Z

Added another commit that updates x/tools to a newer version that handles the new generics changes. The consequence of this is that the new minimum version of Go for TinyGo is 1.25, which is something that we also discussed in the monthly meeting.

jakebailey · 2026-07-03T22:00:12Z

For Windows, seems like you need the chkstk.S change for more platforms.

I think TestBuild/EmulatedCortexM3 is unavoidable, new json v2 is just larger.

jakebailey · 2026-07-03T22:45:32Z

I think I actually have all of the other failures figured out, but, not sure what to do with the fixes.

One or two of them I can send to dev first. E.g. when I added recover support, I totally forgot to also enable FailNow and SkipNow, and that's what some of the failure is.

deadprogram · 2026-07-11T11:33:46Z

@jakebailey I just overwrote your commits that you had already added to this branch by force puching without having pulled your changes to my local branch first. Sorry about that, my bad :(

Can you help get them back in please?

jakebailey · 2026-07-11T11:37:25Z

I don't have the ability to for a few days but you can download these and git apply them

deadprogram · 2026-07-11T11:44:07Z

@jakebailey thanks! Just ammended this PR with those 2 commits...

deadprogram · 2026-07-11T12:08:52Z

Looks like the test failures so far are perhaps related to crypto/ecdsa.

jakebailey · 2026-07-11T12:17:40Z

Yeah, I couldn't figure those out as they did not reproduce locally

deadprogram · 2026-07-11T12:51:45Z

Actually it seems like it was compress/flate. Skipping for now to see if other tests pass.

jakebailey · 2026-07-11T13:54:25Z

That last commit reminds me of #5508

deadprogram · 2026-07-11T14:16:15Z

That last commit reminds me of #5508

Indeed, it looks like #5508 is a better version of the same idea.

deadprogram · 2026-07-11T15:42:40Z

#5508 was merged, then I removed my commit from this branch and rebased in the latest dev

deadprogram · 2026-07-11T16:29:38Z

Looks like I needed a version of that commit after all to handle the float32/float64 difference.

deadprogram · 2026-07-11T20:29:48Z

All tests passing (except for a couple that were skipped).

Changes:

Bump supported Go minor range (min 1.25, max 1.27) and update CI/Docker to Go 1.27.0-rc.2.

I have moved 2 of the commits in the PR into #5514 and #5515 so they can be merged sooner and to cleanup the commits in this PR.

deadprogram · 2026-07-12T12:23:54Z

Cleaned up commits a bit and also rebased against dev.

#5514 was merged, #5515 is still pending feedback so I left it in this PR still so tests could pass.

deadprogram · 2026-07-12T22:48:07Z

I removed the commit from #5515 and replaced with the commits from #5519 since it passed for me locally. Now running CI...

Go 1.27 adds generic methods (golang/go#77273). golang.org/x/tools go/ssa v0.42.0 does not instantiate them: objectMethod only applies receiverTypeArgs and ignores method-level type parameters, so a call such as (*math/rand/v2.Rand).N resolves to the abstract generic method and its body reaches createConst with a type-parameter-typed zero constant, triggering "panic: expected nil interface constant". Upgrade golang.org/x/tools to v0.47.0, whose go/ssa returns nil from MethodValue for generic methods and instantiates method-level type parameters. No compiler changes are required. Since x/tools v0.47.0 requires Go 1.25, raise the minimum supported Go version from 1.24 to 1.25. Signed-off-by: deadprogram <ron@hybridgroup.com>

Go 1.27 packages can emit stack probes on Windows amd64 and arm64. Link the compiler-rt stack probe builtins and use compiler-rt for those targets so these packages build.

Go 1.27 jsonv2 pushes testdata/json.go beyond the LM3S6965 flash budget. Keep coverage on larger emulated targets while skipping only the too-small Cortex-M QEMU configuration.

deadprogram · 2026-07-13T08:11:48Z

Rebased now that #5519 has been merged into dev

deadprogram · 2026-07-13T16:17:59Z

I think we should open an issue for each of the tests that we needed to skip so we do not lose track of them, and then we should squash/merge the rest of this PR since 1.27 is nearly here.

Any thoughts on this?

jakebailey · 2026-07-13T16:31:02Z

I'm already looking into some of them, but issues would be nice of course; they're definitely not things that are blockers given they don't affect 1.26
