I'm working on a build.zig file where I'm leveraging InstallRawStep but I'd like to change the install dir. This allows the install dir to be changd and also enhances InstallRawStep to add more options in the future by putting them into a struct with default values. This also removes the need for an extra addInstallStepWithFormat function in build.zig.
`getExternalExecutor` is moved from `std.zig.CrossTarget` to
`std.zig.system.NativeTargetInfo.getExternalExecutor`.
The function also now communicates a bit more information about *why*
the host is unable to execute a binary. The CLI is updated to report
this information in a useful manner.
`getExternalExecutor` is also improved to detect such patterns as:
* x86_64 is able to execute x86 binaries
* aarch64 is able to execute arm binaries
* etc.
Added qemu-hexagon support to `getExternalExecutor`.
`std.Target.canExecBinaries` of is removed; callers should use the more
powerful `getExternalExecutor` instead.
Now that `zig test` tries to run the resulting binary no matter what,
this commit has a follow-up change to the build system and docgen to
utilize the `getExternalExecutor` function and pass `--test-no-exec`
in some cases to avoid getting the error.
Additionally:
* refactor: extract NativePaths and NativeTargetInfo into their own
files named after the structs.
* small improvement to langref to reduce the complexity of the `callconv`
expression in a couple examples.
Previously when using `zig run` or `zig test`, zig would try to guess
whether the host system was capable of running the target binaries. Now,
it will always try. If it fails, then Zig emits a helpful warning to
explain the probable cause.
from zig-specific options to generally recognized zig build options that
any project can take advantage of. See the updated usage text for more
details.
Previously there was only `--single-threaded`.
This flag now matches other boolean flags, instead of only being able to
opt in to single-threaded builds, you can now force multi-threaded
builds. Currently this only has the possibility to emit an error
message, but it is a better user experience to understand why one cannot
choose to enable threads in some cases.
This is breaking change to the CLI.

Add an option to allow the '-z notext' option to be passed to the linker
via. the compiler frontend, which is a flag that tells the linker that
relocations in read-only sections are permitted. Certain targets such as
Solana BPF rely on this flag.
Expose all linker options i.e. '-z nodelete', '-z now', '-z relro' in
the compiler frontend. Usage documentation has been updated accordingly.
Expose the '-z notext' flag in the standard library build runner.
Currently -Dcpu is completely ignored if -Dtarget isn't passed as well.
Further, -Dcpu=baseline is ignored even if -Dtarget=native is passed.
This patch fixes these 2 issues, always respecting the -Dcpu option if
present.
This allows writing HEX files with `exe.installRaw`, where `exe` is a
`LibExeObjStep`. A HEX file will be written if the file extension is `.hex`
or `.ihex`, otherwise a binfile will be written. The output format can be
explicitly chosen with `exe.installRawWithFormat("filename", .hex);`
(or `.bin`)

* rework `build_options` to integrate with the FileSource abstraction
* support mapping as an arbitrarily named package
* support mapping to multiple different artifacts
* use hash of contents for options filename
We already have a LICENSE file that covers the Zig Standard Library. We
no longer need to remind everyone that the license is MIT in every single
file.
Previously this was introduced to clarify the situation for a fork of
Zig that made Zig's LICENSE file harder to find, and replaced it with
their own license that required annual payments to their company.
However that fork now appears to be dead. So there is no need to
reinforce the copyright notice in every single file.
* ensure we correctly transfer `-iwithsysroot` and
`-iframeworkwithsysroot` flags with values from `build.zig` and that
they are correctly transferred forward to `zig cc`
* try to look for `libSystem.tbd` in the provided syslibroot - one
caveat that the user will have to specify library search paths too
This new option sets a default libc paths file to be used for all
LibExeObjSteps. Setting LibExeObjStep.libc_file overrides this default.
This is required to allow users to cross compile projects linking system
libraries without needing to patch the build.zig.
This breaking change disambiguates between overriding the lib dir when
performing an installation with the Zig Build System, and overriding the
lib dir that the Zig installation itself uses.
* fix a merge conflict discovered upon rebasing latest master
* rename Target.Cpu.Feature.Set.subSet to isSuperSetOf
* convert a comment into an assert
If there is a mismatch of CPU features provided
compared to the whitelist, then will fail the build and
print what the expected CPU model is and the feature
set for the model. Also prints what features need to be
removed.
Before this change, when one or more of name or value are not known at
comptime, build.zig files must allocate and do the concatanation, which can be
cumbersome, and also adds a redundant allocation when name and value are
slices. The new version only does a single allocation directly in the builder's
allocator to concatonate name and value.
The origional behavior is available in defineCMacroRaw, for use in situations
such as parseing c compiler arguments.
Additionally, several places have been updated to use the new funtions.
