`std.Io.tty.Config.detect` may be an expensive check (e.g. involving
syscalls), and doing it every time we need to print isn't really
necessary; under normal usage, we can compute the value once and cache
it for the whole program's execution. Since anyone outputting to stderr
may reasonably want this information (in fact they are very likely to),
it makes sense to cache it and return it from `lockStderrWriter`. Call
sites who do not need it will experience no significant overhead, and
can just ignore the TTY config with a `const w, _` destructure.
Changes by Arnd Bergmann have migrated all supported architectures to
use a table for their syscall lists. This removes the need to use the
C pre-processor and simplifies the logic considerably.
All currently supported architectures have been added, with the ones Zig
doesn't support being commented out. Speaking of; OpenRisc has been
enabled for generation.
If we're going to abuse the preprocessor, we may as well go all the way and have
it generate a convenient format for us. This achieves two things:
1. We no longer need hacks for the arch-specific syscalls.
2. We now generate the correct syscall names for 32-bit platforms.
The latter is because we now resolve __SC_3264, etc.
this patch renames ComptimeStringMap to StaticStringMap, makes it
accept only a single type parameter, and return a known struct type
instead of an anonymous struct. initial motivation for these changes
was to reduce the 'very long type names' issue described here
https://github.com/ziglang/zig/pull/19682.
this breaks the previous API. users will now need to write:
`const map = std.StaticStringMap(T).initComptime(kvs_list);`
* move `kvs_list` param from type param to an `initComptime()` param
* new public methods
* `keys()`, `values()` helpers
* `init(allocator)`, `deinit(allocator)` for runtime data
* `getLongestPrefix(str)`, `getLongestPrefixIndex(str)` - i'm not sure
these belong but have left in for now incase they are deemed useful
* performance notes:
* i posted some benchmarking results here:
https://github.com/travisstaloch/comptime-string-map-revised/issues/1
* i noticed a speedup reducing the size of the struct from 48 to 32
bytes and thus use u32s instead of usize for all length fields
* i noticed speedup storing KVs as a struct of arrays
* latest benchmark shows these wall_time improvements for
debug/safe/small/fast builds: -6.6% / -10.2% / -19.1% / -8.9%. full
output in link above.
`{}` for decls
`{p}` for enum fields
`{p_}` for struct fields and in contexts following a `.`
Elsewhere, `{p}` was used since it's equivalent to the old behavior.
Justification: exec, execv etc are unix concepts and portable version
should be called differently.
Do no touch non-Zig code. Adjust error names as well, if associated.
Closes#5853.
Previously, updating the `SYS` enum for each architecture required
manually looking at the syscall tables and inserting any new additions.
This commit adds a tool, `generate_linux_syscalls.zig`, that automates
this process using the syscall tables in the Linux source tree. On
architectures without a table, it runs `zig cc` as a pre-processor to
extract the system-call numbers from the Linux headers.
