* implement --debug-cc and --debug-link
* implement C source files having extra flags
- TODO a way to pass them on the CLI
* introduce the Directory abstraction which contains both an open file
descriptor and a file path name. The former is preferred but the
latter is needed when communicating paths over a command line (e.g.
to Clang or LLD).
* use the cache hash to choose an artifact directory
- TODO: use separate cache hash instances for the zig module and
each C object
* Module: introduce the crt_files table for keeping track of built libc
artifacts for linking.
* Add the ability to build 4/6 of the glibc static CRT lib files.
* The zig-cache directory is now passed as a parameter to Module.
* Implement the CLI logic of -femit-bin and -femit-h
- TODO: respect -fno-emit-bin
- TODO: the emit .h feature
* Add the -fvalgrind, -fstack-check, and --single-threaded CLI options.
* Implement the logic for auto detecting whether to enable PIC,
sanitize-C, stack-check, valgrind, and single-threaded.
* Properly add PIC args (or not) to clang argv.
* Implement renaming clang-compiled object files into their proper
place within the cache artifact directory.
- TODO: std lib needs a proper higher level abstraction for
std.os.renameat.
* Package is cleaned up to use the "Unmanaged" StringHashMap and use the
new Directory abstraction.
* Clean up zig lib directory detection to make proper use of directory
handles.
* Linker code invokes LLD.
- TODO properly deal with the stdout and stderr that we get from it
and expose diagnostics from the Module API that match the expected
error message format.
* Delete the bitrotted LLVM C ABI bindings. We'll resurrect just the
functions we need as we introduce dependencies on them. So far it
only has ZigLLDLink in it.
* Remove dead timer code.
* `zig env` now prints the path to the zig executable as well.
* introduce std.ArrayListUnmanaged for when you have the allocator
stored elsewhere
* move std.heap.ArenaAllocator implementation to its own file. extract
the main state into std.heap.ArenaAllocator.State, which can be
stored as an alternative to storing the entire ArenaAllocator, saving
24 bytes per ArenaAllocator on 64 bit targets.
* std.LinkedList.Node pointer field now defaults to being null
initialized.
* Rework self-hosted compiler Package API
* Delete almost all the bitrotted self-hosted compiler code. The only bit
rotted code left is in main.zig and compilation.zig
* Add call instruction to ZIR
* self-hosted compiler ir API and link API are reworked to support
a long-running compiler that incrementally updates declarations
* Introduce the concept of scopes to ZIR semantic analysis
* ZIR text format supports referencing named decls that are declared
later in the file
* Figure out how memory management works for the long-running compiler
and incremental compilation. The main roots are top level
declarations. There is a table of decls. The key is a cryptographic
hash of the fully qualified decl name. Each decl has an arena
allocator where all of the memory related to that decl is stored.
Each code block has its own arena allocator for the lifetime of
the block. Values that want to survive when going out of scope in
a block must get copied into the outer block. Finally, values must
get copied into the Decl arena to be long-lived.
* Delete the unused MemoryCell struct. Instead, comptime pointers are
based on references to Decl structs.
* Figure out how caching works. Each Decl will store a set of other
Decls which must be recompiled when it changes.
This branch is still work-in-progress; this commit breaks the build.
