This also makes a long-overdue change of extracting common state from
Build into a shared Graph object.
Getting the semantics right for these flags turned out to be quite
tricky. In the end it works like this:
* The override only happens when the target is fully native, with no
additional query parameters, such as versions or CPU features added.
* The override affects the resolved Target but leaves the original Query
unmodified.
* The "is native?" detection logic operates on the original, unmodified
query. This makes it possible to provide invalid host target
information, causing confusing errors to occur. Don't do that.
There are some minor breaking changes to std.Build API such as the fact
that `b.zig_exe` is now moved to `b.graph.zig_exe`, as well as a handful
of other similar flags.
Closes#18628
This commit splits the arguments obtained from pkg-config into two
groups, cflags and libs, and consistently applies the cflags to each
individual module linking the library while applying the libs only once
for each compilation.
Uses the new `-M[name][=src]` CLI syntax to omit the source when the
module does not have a zig root source file.
Only some kinds of link objects imply that this should happen.

This isn't technically needed since per-module -I args can suffice, but
this can produce very long CLI invocations when several --mod args are
combined with --search-prefix args since the -I args have to be repeated
for each module.
This is a partial revert of ecbe8bbf2df2ed4d473efbc32e0b6d7091fba76f.
This change is seemingly insignificant but I actually agonized over this
for three days. Some other things I considered:
* (status quo in master branch) make Compile step creation functions
accept a Target.Query and delete the ResolvedTarget struct.
- downside: redundantly resolve target queries many times
* same as before but additionally add a hash map to cache target query
resolutions.
- downside: now there is a hash map that doesn't actually need to
exist, just to make the API more ergonomic.
* add is_native_os and is_native_abi fields to std.Target and use it
directly as the result of resolving a target query.
- downside: they really don't belong there. They would be available
as comptime booleans via `@import("builtin")` but they should not
be exposed that way.
With this change the downsides are:
* the option name of addExecutable and friends is `target` instead of
`resolved_target` matching the type name.
- upside: this does not break compatibility with existing build
scripts
* you likely end up seeing `target.result.cpu.arch` rather than
`target.cpu.arch`.
- upside: this is an improvement over `target.target.cpu.arch` which
it was before this commit.
- downside: `b.host.target` is now `b.host.result`.
Introduce the concept of "target query" and "resolved target". A target
query is what the user specifies, with some things left to default. A
resolved target has the default things discovered and populated.
In the future, std.zig.CrossTarget will be rename to std.Target.Query.
Introduces `std.Build.resolveTargetQuery` to get from one to the other.
The concept of `main_mod_path` is gone, no longer supported. You have to
put the root source file at the module root now.
* remove deprecated API
* update build.zig for the breaking API changes in this branch
* move std.Build.Step.Compile.BuildId to std.zig.BuildId
* add more options to std.Build.ExecutableOptions, std.Build.ObjectOptions,
std.Build.SharedLibraryOptions, std.Build.StaticLibraryOptions, and
std.Build.TestOptions.
* remove `std.Build.constructCMacro`. There is no use for this API.
* deprecate `std.Build.Step.Compile.defineCMacro`. Instead,
`std.Build.Module.addCMacro` is provided.
- remove `std.Build.Step.Compile.defineCMacroRaw`.
* deprecate `std.Build.Step.Compile.linkFrameworkNeeded`
- use `std.Build.Module.linkFramework`
* deprecate `std.Build.Step.Compile.linkFrameworkWeak`
- use `std.Build.Module.linkFramework`
* move more logic into `std.Build.Module`
* allow `target` and `optimize` to be `null` when creating a Module.
Along with other fields, those unspecified options will be inherited
from parent `Module` when inserted into an import table.
* the `target` field of `addExecutable` is now required. pass `b.host`
to get the host target.
This moves many settings from `std.Build.Step.Compile` and into
`std.Build.Module`, and then makes them transitive.
In other words, it adds support for exposing Zig modules in packages,
which are configured in various ways, such as depending on other link
objects, include paths, or even a different optimization mode.
Now, transitive dependencies will be included in the compilation, so you
can, for example, make a Zig module depend on some C source code, and
expose that Zig module in a package.
Currently, the compiler frontend autogenerates only one
`@import("builtin")` module for the entire compilation, however, a
future enhancement will be to make it honor the differences in modules,
so that modules can be compiled with different optimization modes, code
model, valgrind integration, or even target CPU feature set.
closes#14719
This updates all linker tests to include `no_entry` as well as changes
all tests to executable so they do not need to be updated later when
the in-house WebAssembly linker supports dynamic libraries.
This adds support for the `-fno-entry` and `-fentry` flags respectively, for
zig build-{exe/lib} and the build system. For `zig cc` we use the `--no-entry`
flag to be compatible with clang and existing tooling.
In `start.zig` we now make the main function optional when the target is
WebAssembly, as to allow for the build-exe command in combination with
`-fno-entry`.
When the execution model is set, and is set to 'reactor', we now verify
when an entry name is given it matches what is expected. When no entry
point is given, we set it to `_initialize` by default. This means the user
will also be met with an error when they use the reactor model, but did
not provide the correct function.
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.
An embedded manifest file is really just XML data embedded as a RT_MANIFEST resource (ID = 24). Typically, the Windows-only 'Manifest Tool' (`mt.exe`) is used to embed manifest files, and `mt.exe` also seems to perform some transformation of the manifest data before embedding, but in testing it doesn't seem like the transformations are necessary to get the intended result.
So, to handle embedding manifest files, Zig now takes the following approach:
- Generate a .rc file with the contents `1 24 "path-to-manifest.manifest"`
- Compile that generated .rc file into a .res file
- Link the .res file into the final binary
This effectively achieves the same thing as `mt.exe` minus the validation/transformations of the XML data that it performs.
How this is used:
On the command line:
```
zig build-exe main.zig main.manifest
```
(on the command line, specifying a .manifest file when the target object format is not COFF is an error)
or in build.zig:
```
const exe = b.addExecutable(.{
.name = "manifest-test",
.root_source_file = .{ .path = "main.zig" },
.target = target,
.optimize = optimize,
.win32_manifest = .{ .path = "main.manifest" },
});
```
(in build.zig, the manifest file is ignored if the target object format is not COFF)
Note: Currently, only one manifest file can be specified per compilation. This is because the ID of the manifest resource is currently always 1. Specifying multiple manifests could be supported if a way for the user to specify an ID for each manifest is added (manifest IDs must be a u16).
Closes#17406
options
* start renaming "package" to "module" (see #14307)
- build system gains `main_mod_path` and `main_pkg_path` is still
there but it is deprecated.
* eliminate the object-oriented memory management style of what was
previously `*Package`. Now it is `*Package.Module` and all pointers
point to externally managed memory.
* fixes to get the new Fetch.zig code working. The previous commit was
work-in-progress. There are still two commented out code paths, the
one that leads to `Compilation.create` and the one for `zig build`
that fetches the entire dependency tree and creates the required
modules for the build runner.
The include directories used when preprocessing .rc files are now separate from the target, and by default will use the system MSVC include paths if the MSVC + Windows SDK are present, otherwise it will fall back to the MinGW includes distributed with Zig. This default behavior can be overridden by the `-rcincludes` option (possible values: any (the default), msvc, gnu, or none).
This behavior is useful because Windows resource files may `#include` files that only exist with in the MSVC include dirs (e.g. in `<MSVC install directory>/atlmfc/include` which can contain other .rc files, images, icons, cursors, etc). So, by defaulting to the `any` behavior (MSVC if present, MinGW fallback), users will by default get behavior that is most-likely-to-work.
It also should be okay that the include directories used when compiling .rc files differ from the include directories used when compiling the main binary, since the .res format is not dependent on anything ABI-related. The only relevant differences would be things like `#define` constants being different values in the MinGW headers vs the MSVC headers, but any such differences would likely be a MinGW bug.
Prior to this change, we would unconditionally emit any system include path/framework
path as `-iwithsysroot`/`-iframeworkwithsysroot` if the sysroot was
set which can lead to unexpected build failures. Now, calls to
`b.addSystemIncludePath` and `b.addFrameworkPath` will always emit
search paths as `-isystem`/`-iframework`. As a result, it is now up to
the user to correctly concat the search paths with the sysroot when
and where desired.
If there is a need for emitting `-iwithsysroot`/`-iframeworkwithsysroot`
I would advise adding explicit hooks such as `addSystemIncludePathWithSysroot`
and `addFrameworkPathWithSysroot`.
