The optimizer will now convert calls to memcmp into a calls to bcmp
in some circumstances. Users who are building freestanding code (not
depending on the platform’s libc) without specifying -ffreestanding may
need to either pass -fno-builtin-bcmp, or provide a bcmp function.
http://llvm.org/docs/ReleaseNotes.html#non-comprehensive-list-of-changes-in-this-release
* introduce wasm32-freestanding-musl .h files to fix
conflicts with stddef.h and errno.h
* fix an issue with zig build system regarding installation of
webassembly libraries
* add implementations to zig's libc:
- strcmp
- strncmp
- strerror
- strlen
See #514
* `@clz`, `@ctz`, `@popCount`, `@bswap`, `@bitreverse` now
have a type parameter
* rename @bitreverse to @bitReverse
* rename @bswap to @byteSwap
Closes#2119Closes#2120
* build-exe does include the startup code that supplies _start for the
wasm32-freestanding target. Previously this did not occur because
of logic excluding "freestanding".
* build-lib for wasm32-freestanding target gets linked by LLD. To avoid
infinite recursion, compiler_rt and zig libc are built as objects
rather than libraries.
- no "lib" prefix and ".wasm" extension instead of ".a". Rather than
build-lib foo.zig producing "libfoo.a", now it produces "foo.wasm".
* go back to using `.o` extension for webassembly objects
* zig libc only provides _start symbol for wasm when linking libc.
* rename std/special/builtin.zig to std/special/c.zig
not to be confused with @import("builtin") which is entirely
different, this is zig's multi-target libc implementation.
* WebAssembly: build-exe is for executables which have a main().
build-lib is for building libraries of functions to use from,
for example, a web browser environment.
- for now pass --export-all for libraries when there are any
C objects because we have no way to detect the list of exports
when compiling C code.
- stop passing --no-entry for executables. if you want --no-entry
then use build-lib.
* make the "musl" ABI the default ABI for wasm32-freestanding.
* zig provides libc for wasm32-freestanding-musl.
and use it when building libuserland.a
The self-hosted part of stage1 relies on zig's compiler-rt, and so we
include it in libuserland.a.
This should potentially be the default, but for now it's behind a linker
option.
self-hosted translate-c: small progress on translating functions.
On some platforms the conversion ended up creating a dangerous recursive
loop that ate all the stack.
The conversion to f16 is also pointless since we're operating on the raw
bits anyway.
Previously, `zig fmt` on the stage1 compiler (which is what we currently
ship) would perform what equates to `zig run std/special/fmt_runner.zig`
Now, `zig fmt` is implemented with the hybrid zig/C++ strategy outlined
by #1964.
This means Zig no longer has to ship some of the stage2 .zig files, and
there is no longer a delay when running `zig fmt` for the first time.
After 4df2f3d74f test names have the word "test" in them so the
redundant word is removed from test runner. Also move the prefix/suffix
to where it logically belongs in the fully qualified symbol name.
