Auto merge of #147090 - Noratrieb:immediate-abort-stack-overflow, r=joboet
Skip stack overflow handler for panic=immediate-abort std installs guard pages and a signal handler to ensure that stackoverflows 1) terminate abruptly and 2) print an nice message. Even for panic=immediate-abort, 1) is desirable, we don't want silent data corruption there. But 2) is completely unnecessary, as users deliberately *don't* want nice messages, they want minimum binary size. Therefore, skip the entire guard signal handler setup, which saves a lot of bytes. I tested this with a hello world binary using fat LTO, build-std, panic=immediate-abort, opt-level=s, strip=debuginfo. `size` reports significant savings: ``` text data bss dec hex filename 15252 1032 104 16388 4004 tiny-before 6881 964 48 7893 1ed5 tiny-after2 ``` `nm -U` goes from 71 to 56, getting rid of a bunch of stack overflow related symbols. The disk size goes from `31k` to `24k`. The impact on the error message is minimal, as the message was already missing. before: ``` fish: Job 1, './tiny-so-before' terminated by signal SIGABRT (Abort) ``` after: ``` fish: Job 1, './tiny-so-after' terminated by signal SIGSEGV (Address boundary error) ``` I didn't test the Windows part, but it likely also has savings.
