Use inline to vastly simplify the exposed API. This allows a
comptime-known endian parameter to be propogated, making extra functions
for a specific endianness completely unnecessary.
Most of this migration was performed automatically with `zig fmt`. There
were a few exceptions which I had to manually fix:
* `@alignCast` and `@addrSpaceCast` cannot be automatically rewritten
* `@truncate`'s fixup is incorrect for vectors
* Test cases are not formatted, and their error locations change
The CI now runs C backend tests in addition to compiling them. It uses
-std=c99 -pedantic -Werror in order to catch non-conformant C code.
This necessitated disabling a test case that caused a C compile error,
in addition to disabling a handful of warnings that are already being
triggered by Zig's C backend output for the behavior tests.
The upshot is that I was able to, very cleanly, integrate the C backend
tests into the build system, so that it communicates via the test runner
protocol along with all the other behavior tests.
std.Build.addTest creates a CompileStep as before, however, this kind of
step no longer actually runs the unit tests. Instead it only compiles
it, and one must additionally create a RunStep from the CompileStep in
order to actually run the tests.
RunStep gains integration with the default test runner, which now
supports the standard --listen=- argument in order to communicate over
stdin and stdout. It also reports test statistics; how many passed,
failed, and leaked, as well as directly associating the relevant stderr
with the particular test name that failed.
This separation of CompileStep and RunStep means that
`CompileStep.Kind.test_exe` is no longer needed, and therefore has been
removed in this commit.
* build runner: show unit test statistics in build summary
* added Step.writeManifest since many steps want to treat it as a
warning and emit the same message if it fails.
* RunStep: fixed error message that prints the failed command printing
the original argv and not the adjusted argv in case an interpreter
was used.
* RunStep: fixed not passing the command line arguments to the
interpreter.
* move src/Server.zig to std.zig.Server so that the default test runner
can use it.
* the simpler test runner function which is used by work-in-progress
backends now no longer prints to stderr, which is necessary in order
for the build runner to not print the stderr as a warning message.
The compiler now provides a server protocol for an interactive session
with another process. The build runner uses this protocol to communicate
compilation errors semantically from zig compiler subprocesses to the
build runner.
The protocol is exposed via stdin/stdout, or on a network socket,
depending on whether the CLI flag `--listen=-` or e.g.
`--listen=127.0.0.1:1337` is used.
Additionally:
* add the zig version string to the build runner cache prefix
* remove --prominent-compile-errors CLI flag because it no longer does
anything. Compilation errors are now unconditionally displayed at the
bottom of the build summary output when using the terminal-based
build runner.
* Remove the color field from std.Build. The build steps are no longer
supposed to interact with stderr directly. Instead they communicate
semantically back to the build runner, which has its own logic about
TTY configuration.
* Use the cleanExit() pattern in the build runner.
* Build steps can now use error.MakeFailed when they have already
properly reported an error, or they can fail with any other error
code in which case the build runner will create a simple message
based on this error code.
