Previously, when choosing the local cache directory, if there was no
root source file, an explicitly chosen path, or other clues, zig would
choose cwd + zig-cache/ as the local cache directory.
This can be problematic if Zig is invoked with the CWD set to a
read-only directory, or a directory unrelated to the actual source files
being compiled. In the real world, we see this when using `zig cc` with
CGo, which for some reason changes the current working directory to the
read-only go standard library path before running the C compiler.
This commit conservatively chooses to use the global cache directory
as the local cache directory when there is no other reasonable choice,
and no longer will rely on the cwd path to choose a local cache directory.
As a reminder, the --cache-dir CLI flag and ZIG_LOCAL_CACHE_DIR
environment variable are available for overriding the decision. For the
zig build system, it will always choose the directory that build.zig is
+ zig-cache/.
Closes#7342
* Field global_cache_root was added to Builder struct along with
mandatory argument for build_runner.zig. Logic for using the custom
global cache was also added.
* The arguments --cache-dir and --global-cache-dir are no longer passed
directly through to build_runner.zig and are instead only passed through the
mandatory cache_root and global_cache_root arguments.
Previously, --name would only be inferred if there was exactly 1 C
source file or exactly 1 object. Now it will be inferred if there is at
least one of either.
This allows to have multiple instances of `zig build` at the same
time. For example when you have a long running `zig build run` and
then want to run `zig build somethingelse`.
Closes#7356
I did this as a patch to the source rather than passing flags so that
it would intentionally be reverted when we update to the next release of
mingw-w64. At this time if any warnings are still emitted we should find
out why and make sure upstream is aware of the problem.
Previously, when mixing Zig and C/C++ code for windows-gnu targets, zig
would get codeview format but the C/C++ code would not get any debug
info. Now, C/C++ code properly emits debug info in codeview format and
everything just works.
This then allows for proper resolution of names via runpath search
path list, i.e., `-rpath @loader_path` will correctly resolve
to `@rpath/libxxx.dylib (...)` in the linked binary.
This commit version-gates appending `-syslibroot` flag to lld. This
is predicated upon the fact that for versions of macOS lower than
11, lld would fail to find and link against frameworks with this
flag specified.

* Fix floating point parsing on BE systems
* Load the appropriate endian.h files for macOS and BSD
* Add endian definition for Windows and extra check for ldshape selection
* Fix endian macro definition for macOS
Apparently their macros are defined without a leading __.
* Define new macro for endian checking purposes
This is gross and I really do not like the lack of standardization
around this part, but what can I do?
Applications supplying their own custom stack to pthread_create are not
allowed to free the allocated memory after pthread_join returns as,
according to the specification, the thread is not guaranteed to be dead
after the join call returns.
Avoid this class of problems by avoiding the use of a custom stack
altogether, let pthread handle its own resources.
Allocations made on the child stack are now done on the C heap.
Thanks @semarie for noticing the problem on OpenBSD and suggesting a
fix.
Closes#7275
If we enter the `if` because `comp.disable_c_depfile` is false the `man`
object has no manifest and calling .final on it will trip an assertion.
Closes#7096
commit 9d1816111d1d30e18b8cb43a4aa31c194fb204c4 used the "output path"
as the path for passing shared library artifact paths to the Zig CLI.
For Windows, this was incorrect because it would pass the .dll instead
of the .lib file. This commit passes the "output lib path" instead,
which makes it pass the .lib path in case of a .dll on Windows.
This way the linker does not complain and say, "bad file type. Did you
specify a DLL instead of an import library?"
See #5854
Some tiny tweaks too:
* Use `wasm-freestanding-musl` instead of `wasm32-freestanding-musl`,
making it pointer-size-agnostic.
* Fix trying to build non-existent wasm musl start files.
Positional shared library arguments were not being detected as causing
dynamic linking, resulting in invalid linker lines. LLD did not have an
error message for this when targeting x86_64-linux but it did emit an
error message when targeting aarch64-linux, which is how I noticed the
problem.
This surfaced an error having to do with fifo.pipe() in the cat example
which I did not diagnose but solved the issue by doing the revamp that
was already overdue for that example.
It appears that the zig-window project was exploiting the previous
behavior for it to function properly, so this prompts the question, is
there some kind of static/dynamic executable hybrid that the compiler
should recognize? Unclear - but we can discuss that in #7240.
ZigTypeIdOptional types have a different way of specifying their payload
value depending on whether the child type is a pointer or not (plus some
other special cases).
Fixes#7251
