Cross-platform versions of msghdr, sendmsg, recvmsg, linger, and iovec
were provided based on findings from glibc, musl, and Microsoft's
documentation.
Implemented initial Reactor interface for epoll (linux) which wraps
around I/O reactor subsystems such as epoll, kqueue, select, etc. across
different platforms. The Reactor interface allows for driving async I/O
in Zig applications.
A test was added for the Reactor interface to drive a TCP
client/listener socket pair.
A greatest-common-subset of possible socket initialization flags (close
socket on exec syscalls, initialize socket to be non-blocking) were
implemented.
A test was added for using sendmsg/recvmsg syscalls across different
platforms for a TCP client/listener socket pair.
Conflicts:
* lib/std/os/linux.zig
* lib/std/os/windows/bits.zig
* src/Module.zig
* src/Sema.zig
* test/stage2/test.zig
Mainly I wanted Jakub's new macOS code for respecting stack size, since
we now depend on it for debug builds able to pass one of the test cases
for recursive comptime function calls with `@setEvalBranchQuota`.
The conflicts were all trivial.
* `comptime const` is redundant
* don't use `extern enum`; specify a tag type.
`extern enum` is only when you need tags to alias. But aliasing tags
is a smell. I will be making a proposal shortly to remove `extern enum`
from the language.
* there is no such thing as `packed enum`.
* instead of `catch |_|`, omit the capture entirely.
* unused function definition with missing parameter name
* using `try` outside of a function or test
There's no guarantee for the kernel definition to be ABI compatible with
the libc one (and vice versa).
There's also no guarantee of ABI compatibility between musl/glibc.
Fun, isn't it?
* `zig test` gainst `--test-evented-io` parameter and gains the ability
to seamlessly run async tests.
* `std.ChildProcess` opens its child process pipe with O_NONBLOCK when
using evented I/O
* `std.io.getStdErr()` gives a File that is blocking even in evented
I/O mode.
* Delete `std.event.fs`. The functionality is now merged into `std.fs`
and async file system access (using a dedicated thread) is
automatically handled.
* `std.fs.File` can be configured to specify whether its handle is
expected to block, and whether that is OK to block even when in
async I/O mode. This makes async I/O work correctly for e.g. the
file system as well as network.
* `std.fs.File` has some deprecated functions removed.
* Missing readv,writev,pread,pwrite,preadv,pwritev functions are added
to `std.os` and `std.fs.File`. They are all integrated with async
I/O.
* `std.fs.Watch` is still bit rotted and needs to be audited in light
of the new async/await syntax.
* `std.io.OutStream` integrates with async I/O
* linked list nodes in the std lib have default `null` values for
`prev` and `next`.
* Windows async I/O integration is enabled for reading/writing file
handles.
* Added `std.os.mode_t`. Integer sizes need to be audited.
* Fixed#4403 which was causing compiler to crash.
This is working towards:
./zig test ../test/stage1/behavior.zig --test-evented-io
Which does not successfully build yet. I'd like to enable behavioral
tests and std lib tests with --test-evented-io in the test matrix in the
future, to prevent regressions.
* Delete `std.net.TmpWinAddr`. I don't think that was ever meant to
be a real thing.
* Delete `std.net.OsAddress`. This abstraction was not helpful.
* Rename `std.net.Address` to `std.net.IpAddress`. It is now an extern
union of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
* Move `std.net.parseIp4` and `std.net.parseIp6` to the
`std.net.IpAddress` namespace. They now return `IpAddress` instead of
`u32` and `std.net.Ip6Addr`, which is deleted.
* Add `std.net.IpAddress.parse` which accepts a port and parses either
an IPv4 or IPv6 address.
* Add `std.net.IpAddress.parseExpectingFamily` which additionally
accepts a `family` parameter.
* `std.net.IpAddress.initIp4` and `std.net.IpAddress.initIp6` are
improved to directly take the address fields instead of a weird
in-between type.
* `std.net.IpAddress.port` is renamed to `std.net.IpAddress.getPort`.
* Added `std.net.IpAddress.setPort`.
* `os.sockaddr` struct on all targets is improved to match the
corresponding system struct. Previously I had made it a union of
sockaddr_in, sockaddr_in6, and sockaddr_un. The new abstraction for
this is now `std.net.IpAddress`.
* `os.sockaddr` and related bits are added for Windows.
* `os.sockaddr` and related bits now have the `zero` fields default
to zero initialization, and `len` fields default to the correct size.
This is enough to abstract the differences across targets, and so
no more switch on the target OS is needed in `std.net.IpAddress`.
* Add the missing `os.sockaddr_un` on FreeBSD and NetBSD.
* `std.net.IpAddress.initPosix` now takes a pointer to `os.sockaddr`.
