Mats Jun Larsen 633eb82d18 Transition to ECMAScript Modules (#4780)
Makes the Compiler Explorer app, and all the tooling ESM compatible.
Things that have been done:

1. The package.json has `type: module` now
2. All relative imports have a .js ending
3. All directory imports are now directory/index.js to comply with ESM
standards
4. Dependency node-graceful is now imported into tree, because the
package is broken under esm
5. Dependency p-queue has been bumped to 7.x with ESM support
6. Dependency profanities has been bumped to 3.x with ESM support
7. Webpack config is now both ESM and CommonJS compatible
8. Non-ESM compatible imports have been rewritten
9. ESLint configuration has been tweaked to not fail on .js imports
10. Mocha is now hacked together and ran with ts-node-esm
11. Webpack is now hacked together and ran with ts-node-esm
12. Webpack config is now ESM compatible, so that it can be used in the
dev server
13. Cypress code still runs commonjs, and has been excluded from the
tsconfig
14. All sinon mock tests have been commented out, because sinon module
mocks do not work with ESModules (because ESModules are immutable)

A lot of tests are now giving warnings/errors to stdout, yet still pass.
Docenizer codegenerator scripts have been updated, but I did not re-run
them, and instead just changed their code.

How do I ?

This is a how-to guide for the user-interface presented by Compiler Explorer. This doesn't cover the details of how to set up or modify Compiler Explorer for your own needs. For that, please check the documents which already cover topics like:

Change the assembly syntax from Intel

Output, intel and at&t

The option to switch assembly from Intel to AT&T syntax is present in the Output option of each compiler. If enough space is not present, the option also presents itself as the gear symbol (⚙)

Compare the time taken by compilation and networking

Brief overview of UI

This is the symbol that looks like a bar graph (📊). If your compilations are taking long, you can use this to check the time taken by:

  • Networking, JavaScript, waiting for events, etc.
  • Checking the cache and retrieving from it on a cache-hit
  • Compilation (on force compilation or cache-miss)
  • Parsing the generated assembly before presenting it

View intermediate information provided by the compilers

Options for GCC Options for Clang

Though both GCC and Clang create supplementary outputs along with assembly (shown by default), and an executable (created if an executor has been added), the exact nature of the outputs and their formats differ between the compilers.

GCC allows the Tree, IPA, RTL and graph outputs, while Clang allows optimization, AST, IR and graph outputs. Some outputs (e.g. RTL or graph) also have a rich set of options in the UI to enable focussing on a particular function or compiler stage.
