* change some {} to be {s} to gain type safety
* fix libraries being libfoo.lib instead of foo.lib for COFF
* when linking mingw-w64, add the "always link" libs so that we
generate DLL import .lib files for them as the linker code relies on.
* COFF LLD linker does not support -r so we do a file copy as an
alternative to the -r thing that ELF linking does.
I will file an issue for the corresponding TODO upon merging this
branch, to look into an optimization that possibly elides this copy
when the source and destination are both cache directories.
* add a CLI error message when trying to link multiple objects into one
and using COFF object format.
Comment reproduced here:
If we're linking libc, some naughty applications may have
registered atexit handlers which we really do not want to
run in the fork child. I caught LLVM doing this and it
caused a deadlock instead of doing an exit syscall. In
the words of Avril Lavigne, "Why'd you have to go and
make things so complicated?"
When we get a cache hit for a stage1 compilation, we need to know about
some of the flags such as have_winmain or have_dllmain to know which
subsystem to infer during linking.
To do this, we append a hex-encoded byte into the intentionally-dangling
symlink which contains the cache hash digest rather than a filename. The
hex-encoded byte contains the flags we need to infer the subsystem
during linking.
stage1 was unable to parse ranges whose starting point was written in
binary/octal as the first dot in '...' was incorrectly interpreted as
decimal point.
stage2 forgot to reset the literal type to IntegerLiteral when it
discovered the dot was not a decimal point.
I've only stumbled across this bug because zig fmt keeps formatting the
ranges without any space around the ...
Previously if a LinearFifo was empty and discard was called
an unsigned overflow would occur. However it is safe to perform
this overflow as a bitwise & operation with 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFF is a noop
* std.log: still print error messages in ReleaseSmall builds.
- when start code gets an error code from main, it uses std.log.err
to report the error. this resulted in a test failure because
ReleaseSmall wasn't printing `error: TheErrorCode` when an error
was returned from main. But that seems like it should keep working.
So I changed the std.log defaults. I plan to follow this up with a
proposal to change the names of and reduce the quantity of the
log levels.
* warning emitted when using -femit-h when using stage1 backend; fatal
log message when using -femit-h with self-hosted backend (because the
feature is not yet available)
* fix double `test-cli` build steps in zig's build.zig
* update docgen to use new CLI
* translate-c uses `-x c` and generates a temporary basename with a
`.h` extension. Otherwise clang reports an error.
* --show-builtin implies -fno-emit-bin
* restore the compile error for using an extern "c" function without
putting -lc on the build line. we have to know about the libc
dependency up front.
* Fix ReleaseFast and ReleaseSmall getting swapped when passing the
value to the stage1 backend.
* correct the zig0 CLI usage text.
* update test harness code to the new CLI.
These CLI options are now forwarded to the stage1 backend.
We're not going to support the -mllvm CLI option any longer. As a
compromise, we unconditionally tell LLVM to output intel x86 syntax when
using -femit-asm.
Simplify stage1 logic; it no longer has the concept of an output
directory. --output-dir is no longer a valid CLI option. cmake uses
the `-femit-bin=[path]` option.
Note the changes to test/cli.zig. This breaks the CLI API that Godbolt
is using so we're going to want to open a PR to help them upgrade to the
new CLI for the upcoming Zig 0.7.0 release.
This cleans up how the CLI parses and handles -E, -S, and -c.
Compilation explicitly acknowledges when it is being used to do C
preprocessing.
-S is properly translated to -fno-emit-bin -femit-asm but Compilation
does not yet handle -femit-asm.
There is not yet a mechanism for skipping the linking step when there is
only a single object file, and so to make this work we have to do a file
copy in link.flush() to copy the file from zig-cache into the output
directory.
These APIs allow one to write code that is agnostic of whether it is
using an ArrayHashMap or a HashMap, which can be valuable. Specify
intent precisely: if you only need the count of the items, it makes
sense to have a function for that.
Normally when using LLD to link, Zig uses a file named "lld.id" in the
same directory as the output binary which contains the hash of the link
operation, allowing Zig to skip linking when the hash would be unchanged.
In the case that the output binary is being emitted into a directory which
is externally modified - essentially anything other than zig-cache - then
this flag would be set to disable this machinery to avoid false positives.
* Better defaults when using -fno-LLVM
* Fix compiler_rt and libc static libraries were getting a .zig
extension instead of .a extension.
* when using the stage1 backend, put the object file next to the
stage1.id file in the cache directory. this prevents an object file
from polluting the cwd when using zig from the CLI.
