* There is now a main_pkg in addition to root_pkg. They are usually the
same. When using `zig test`, main_pkg is the user's source file and
root_pkg has the test runner.
* scanDecl no longer looks for test decls outside the package being
tested. honoring `--test-filter` is still TODO.
* test runner main function has a void return value rather than
`anyerror!void`
* Sema is improved to generate better AIR for for loops on slices.
* Sema: fix incorrect capacity calculation in zirBoolBr
* Sema: add compile errors for trying to use slice fields as an lvalue.
* Sema: fix type coercion for error unions
* Sema: fix analyzeVarRef generating garbage AIR
* C codegen: fix renderValue for error unions with 0 bit payload
* C codegen: implement function pointer calls
* CLI: fix usage text
Adds 4 new AIR instructions:
* slice_len, slice_ptr: to get the ptr and len fields of a slice.
* slice_elem_val, ptr_slice_elem_val: to get the element value of
a slice, and a pointer to a slice.
AstGen gains a new functionality:
* One of the unused flags of struct decls is now used to indicate
structs that are known to have non-zero size based on the AST alone.
When using `build-exe` or `build-lib -dynamic`, `-fcompiler-rt` means building
compiler-rt into a static library and then linking it into the executable.
When using `build-lib`, `-fcompiler-rt` means building compiler-rt into an
object file and then adding it into the static archive.
Before this commit, when using `build-obj`, zig would build compiler-rt
into an object file, and then on ELF, use `lld -r` to merge it into the
main object file. Other linker backends of LLD do not support `-r` to
merge objects, so this failed with error messages for those targets.
Now, `-fcompiler-rt` when used with `build-obj` acts as if the user puts
`_ = @import("compiler_rt");` inside their root source file. The symbols
of compiler-rt go into the same compilation unit as the root source file.
This is hooked up for stage1 only for now. Once stage2 is capable of
building compiler-rt, it should be hooked up there as well.
* Added doc comments for `std.Target.ObjectFormat` enum
* `std.Target.oFileExt` is removed because it is incorrect for Plan-9
targets. Instead, use `std.Target.ObjectFormat.fileExt` and pass a
CPU architecture.
* Added `Compilation.Directory.joinZ` for when a null byte is desired.
* Improvements to `Compilation.create` logic for computing `use_llvm`
and reporting errors in contradictory flags. `-femit-llvm-ir` and
`-femit-llvm-bc` will now imply `-fLLVM`.
* Fix compilation when passing `.bc` files on the command line.
* Improvements to the stage2 LLVM backend:
- cleaned up error messages and error reporting. Properly bubble up
some errors rather than dumping to stderr; others turn into panics.
- properly call ZigLLVMCreateTargetMachine and
ZigLLVMTargetMachineEmitToFile and implement calculation of the
respective parameters (cpu features, code model, abi name, lto,
tsan, etc).
- LLVM module verification only runs in debug builds of the compiler
- use LLVMDumpModule rather than printToString because in the case
that we incorrectly pass a null pointer to LLVM it may crash during
dumping the module and having it partially printed is helpful in
this case.
- support -femit-asm, -fno-emit-bin, -femit-llvm-ir, -femit-llvm-bc
- Support LLVM backend when used with Mach-O and WASM linkers.
Portable Executable is an executable format, not an object format.
Everywhere in the entire zig codebase, we treated coff and pe as if they
were the same. Remove confusion by not including pe in the
std.Target.ObjectFormat enum.
It now displays the byte with proper printability handling. This makes
the relevant compile error test case no longer a regression in quality
from stage1 to stage2.
In order to not regress the quality of compile errors, some improvements
had to be made.
* std.zig.parseCharLiteral is improved to return more detailed parse
failure information.
* tokenizer is improved to handle null bytes in the middle of strings,
character literals, and line comments.
* validating how many unicode escape digits in string literals is moved
to std.zig.parseStringLiteral rather than handled in the tokenizer.
* when a tokenizer error occurs, if the reported token is the 'invalid'
tag, an error note is added to point to the invalid byte location.
Further improvements would be:
- Mention the expected set of allowed bytes at this location.
- Display the invalid byte (if printable, print it, otherwise
escape-print it).
The motivation for this commit is that there exists source files which
produce ast-check errors, but crash stage1 or otherwise trigger stage1
bugs. Previously to this commit, Zig would run AstGen, collect the
compile errors, run stage1, report stage1 compile errors and exit if
any, and then report AstGen compile errors.
The main change in this commit is to report AstGen errors prior to
invoking stage1, and in fact if any AstGen errors occur, do not invoke
stage1 at all.
This caused most of the compile error tests to fail due to things such
as unused local variables and mismatched stage1/stage2 error messages.
It was taking a long time to update the test cases one-by-one, so I
took this opportunity to unify the stage1 and stage2 testing harness,
specifically with regards to compile errors. In this way we can start
keeping track of which tests pass for 1, 2, or both.
`zig build test-compile-errors` no longer works; it is now integrated
into `zig build test-stage2`.
This is one step closer to executing compile error tests in parallel; in
fact the ThreadPool object is already in scope.
There are some cases where the stage1 compile errors were actually
better; those are left failing in this commit, to be addressed in a
follow-up commit.
Other changes in this commit:
* build.zig: improve support for -Dstage1 used with the test step.
* AstGen: minor cosmetic changes to error messages.
* stage2: add -fstage1 and -fno-stage1 flags. This now allows one to
download a binary of the zig compiler and use the llvm backend of
self-hosted. This was also needed for hooking up the test harness.
However, I realized that stage1 calls exit() and also has memory
leaks, so had to complicate the test harness by not using this flag
after all and instead invoking as a child process.
- These CLI flags will disappear once we start shipping the
self-hosted compiler as the main compiler. Until then, they can be
used to try out the work-in-progress stage2.
* stage2: select the LLVM backend by default for release modes, as long
as the target architecture is supported by LLVM.
* test harness: support setting the optimize mode
* Add command line help for "-mexec-model"
* Define WasmExecModel enum in std.builtin.
* Drop the support for the old crt1.o in favor of crt1-command.o

Handle linker args joined with a = like -Wl,-rpath=foo
Update existing args --major-os-version, --minor-os-version,
--major-subsystem-version and --minor-subsytem-version to work with the
new parsing.
Also handle -Wl,--script in addition to -Wl,-T
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.
Compilation.AllError.Message interface does not provide configurable
file handle. And since all uses of this function only use stderr,
this can be added later.
* stage1 backend allows configuring the uwtables function attr
via a flag rather than its own logic.
* stage2 defaults to enabling uwtable attr when
linking libunwind, or always on windows
* stage2 makes link_eh_frame_hdr true automatically if uwtable
attr is set to be on for zig functions
* CLI: add -funwind-tables and -fno-unwind-tables to allow the user to
override the defaults.
* hook it up to `zig cc`

These options were listed under the
"Debug Options (Zig Compiler Development)" heading. Anything in this
section should be considered unstable and can be modified at any time
at any developer's discretion.
* then, in `link/Wasm.zig` map `CRTFile` to full emulated libs name
* move logic for removing any mention of WASI snapshot
`wasi_snapshot_preview1` from `Compilation.zig` into `link/Wasm.zig`
Move parsing of system libs into `main.zig` next to where we decide
if we should link libC, and, if targeting WASI, if the specified
libname equals one of the emulated components, save it on the side
and remove it from the system libs. Then, build *only* those parts
of WASI libc that were preserved in the previous step.
This also fixes building of different crt1 bits needed to support
reactors and commands.
- hash/eql functions moved into a Context object
- *Context functions pass an explicit context
- *Adapted functions pass specialized keys and contexts
- new getPtr() function returns a pointer to value
- remove functions renamed to fetchRemove
- new remove functions return bool
- removeAssertDiscard deleted, use assert(remove(...)) instead
- Keys and values are stored in separate arrays
- Entry is now {*K, *V}, the new KV is {K, V}
- BufSet/BufMap functions renamed to match other set/map types
- fixed iterating-while-modifying bug in src/link/C.zig
The same entrypoint supports the following commands:
* ar
* ranlib
* dlltool
* lib
For now, our strategy is to bundle the (renamed) `main()` function of
llvm-ar, same as our strategy for `zig clang`. However, as Zig matures,
a goal will be to replace the dependency on LLVM with our own
implementation of this tool, so that it is available in builds of zig
that do not have LLVM extensions enabled.
This commit also categorizes the subcommands into categories in the
--help menu.
This addresses the use case of quickly reporting AstGen compile errors
for a file, for use with an IDE for example.
* Rename from `zig asgen` to `zig ast-check`
* It is now a command always available; not only in debug builds.
* Give it usage text and proper CLI parsing.
* Support reading from stdin when no positional arg is provided.
* `-t` flag makes it print textual ZIR. Without this flag, it only
provides compile errors.
* Support `--color` parameter to override the tty detection
closes#8871
This matches the behaviour for other targets in that
```
zig build-lib math.zig -target wasm32-freestanding
```
produces now `libmath.a` while
```
zig build-lib math.zig -dynamic -target wasm32-freestanding
```
is required to create a loadable Wasm module.
This matches the behaviour of other languages and leaves us
the ability to create actual static Wasm archives with
```
zig build-lib -static some.zig
```
which can then be combined with other Wasm object files and linked
into either a Wasm lib or executable using `wasm-ld`.
Update langref to reflect the fact we now ship WASI libc.
Previously, stage2 used a global decl_table for all Decl objects, keyed
by a 16-byte name hash that was hopefully unique. Now, there is a tree
of Namespace objects that own their named Decl objects.
Conflicts:
* build.zig
* src/Compilation.zig
* src/codegen/spirv/spec.zig
* src/link/SpirV.zig
* test/stage2/darwin.zig
- this one might be problematic; start.zig looks for `main` in the
root source file, not `_main`. Not sure why there is an underscore
there in master branch.
* `-lc++` now implies `-lc`.
* `-lunwind` is now pulled out into a separate `link_libunwind` flag in
the frontend driver code. This allows a project to request zig to
provide libunwind even if the default situation that causes it to be
implicitly added, is not active.
* build.zig: ask for -lunwind when building the self-hosted compiler on
Linux. Otherwise we get linker errors with unresolved symbols to
libunwind.
Conflicts:
* lib/std/os/linux.zig
* lib/std/os/windows/bits.zig
* src/Module.zig
* src/Sema.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.
