std.crypto.random
* cross platform, even freestanding
* can't fail. on initialization for some systems requires calling
os.getrandom(), in which case there are rare but theoretically
possible errors. The code panics in these cases, however the
application may choose to override the default seed function and then
handle the failure another way.
* thread-safe
* supports the full Random interface
* cryptographically secure
* no syscall required to initialize on Linux (AT_RANDOM)
* calls arc4random on systems that support it
`std.crypto.randomBytes` is removed in favor of `std.crypto.random.bytes`.
I moved some of the Random implementations into their own files in the
interest of organization.
stage2 no longer requires passing a RNG; instead it uses this API.
Closes#6704
Use case:
zig build-exe non_existent_file.zig
Previous behavior:
error.FileNotFound, followed by an error return trace
Behavior after this commit:
error: unable to read non_existent_file.zig: FileNotFound
(end of stderr, exit code 1)
This turns AllErrors.Message into a tagged union which now has the
capability to represent both "plain" errors as well as source-based
errors (with file, line, column, byte offset). The "no entry point found"
error has moved to be a plain error message.
* Don't try to generate C header files yet since it will only cause a
crash saying the feature is unimplemented.
* Rename the CLI options for release modes to use the `-O` prefix to
match C compiler precedent. Options are now `-ODebug`,
`-OReleaseFast`, `-OReleaseSafe`, `-OReleaseSmall`. The optimization
mode matches the enum tags of std.builtin.Mode. It is planned to, at
some point, rename std.builtin.Mode to std.builtin.OptimizationMode
and modify the tags to be lower case to match the style convention.
- Update build.zig code to support this new CLI.
* update std.zig.binNameAlloc to support an optional Version and update
the implementation to correctly deal with dynamic library version
suffixes.
