Instead use the standarized option for communicating the
zig compiler backend at comptime, which is `zig_backend`. This was
introduced in commit 1c24ef0d0b09a12a1fe98056f2fc04de78a82df3.
The semantics of this function are that it moves both files and
directories. Previously we had this `is_dir` boolean field of
`std.os.windows.OpenFile` which required the API user to choose: are we
opening a file or directory? And the other kind would either cause
error.IsDir or error.NotDir. But that is not a limitation of the Windows
file system API; it was self-imposed.
On Windows, rename is implemented internally with `NtCreateFile` so we
need to allow it to open either files or directories. This is now done
by `std.os.windows.OpenFile` accepting enum{file_only,dir_only,any}
instead of a boolean.
The self-hosted compiler cannot yet deal with the print function that this
field enables. It is not critical, however, and allows us to remove formatting
from the list of neccesary features to implement to get the page allocator
working.
execve can return EBADLIB on Linux. I observed this when passing
an x86_64 interpreter path to qemu-i386.
This error code is Linux and Solaris-only. I came up with an improved
pattern for dealing with OS-specific error codes.
The INVAL error was marked unreachable which prevents handling
of the error at a higher level.
It seems like it should map to BadPathError based on the man page for
rmdir (and an incomplete understanding of DeleteDirError), which says:
```
EINVAL pathname has . as last component.
```
On some systems, the type of the length of a slice is different from the
nfds_t type, so cast the slice length to nfds_t. This is already done in
poll, so just copy that implementation for ppoll.
* std.os: take advantage of `@minimum`. It's probably time to
deprecate `std.min` and `std.max`.
* New AIR instructions: min and max
* Introduce SIMD vector support to stage2
* Add `@Type` support for vectors
* Sema: add `checkSimdBinOp` which can be re-used for other arithmatic
operators that want to support vectors.
* Implement coercion from vectors to arrays.
- In backends this is handled with bitcast for vector to array,
however maybe we want to reduce the amount of branching by
introducing an explicit AIR instruction for it in the future.
* LLVM backend: implement lowering vector types
* Sema: Implement `slice.ptr` at comptime
* Value: improve `numberMin` and `numberMax` to support floats in
addition to integers, and make them behave properly in the presence
of NaN.
Extract existing constants to do with TCP socket options into a 'TCP'
namespace.
Export 'MSG' and 'TCP' from std.os.{linux, windows} into std.c.
Fix compile errors to do with std.x.os.Socket methods related to setting
TCP socket options.
Handle errors in the case that an interface could not be resolved in an
IPv6 address on Windows. Tested using Wine with the loopback interface
disabled.
Have all instantiations of std.x.os.Socket on Windows instantiate an
overlapped socket descriptor. Fixes the '1ms read timeout' test in
std.x.net.tcp.Client. The test would previously deadlock, as read
timeouts only apply to overlapped sockets.
Windows documentation by default recommends that most instantiations of
sockets on Windows be overlapped sockets (s.t. they may operate in both
blocking or nonblocking mode when operated with WSA* syscalls). Refer to
the documentation for WSASocketA for more info.
* std lib tests are passing on x86_64-linux with and without -lc
* stage2 is building from source on x86_64-linux
* down to 38 remaining uses of `usingnamespace`
The main purpose of this branch is to explore avoiding the
`usingnamespace` feature of the zig language, specifically with regards
to `std.os` and related functionality.
If this experiment is successful, it will provide a data point on
whether or not it would be practical to entirely remove `usingnamespace`
from the language.
In this commit, `usingnamespace` has been completely eliminated from
the Linux x86_64 compilation path, aside from io_uring.
The behavior tests pass, however that's as far as this branch goes. It is
very breaking, and a lot more work is needed before it could be
considered mergeable. I wanted to put a pull requset up early so that
zig programmers have time to provide feedback.
This is progress towards closing #6600 since it clarifies where the
actual "owner" of each declaration is, and reduces the number of
different ways to import the same declarations.
One of the main organizational strategies used here is to do namespacing
with real namespaces (e.g. structs) rather than by having declarations
share a common prefix (the C strategy). It's no coincidence that
`usingnamespace` has similar semantics to `#include` and becomes much
less necessary when using proper namespaces.
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.
The primary purpose of this change is to eliminate one usage of
`usingnamespace` in the standard library - specifically the usage for
errno values in `std.os.linux`.
This is accomplished by truncating the `E` prefix from error values, and
making errno a proper enum.
A similar strategy can be used to eliminate some other `usingnamespace`
sites in the std lib.
* Avoid emitting the copy_file_range symbol at all to prevent link-time
errors.
* Fix a bug in the check logic, the has_copy_file_range_syscall was
set to the wrong value in case of ENOSYS
* If link_libc is true don't fall-back to the raw syscall approach,
there's no policy about what to do in this case but let's follow what
the other impls do.
Fixes#9146
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.
