According to https://apilevels.com, 88.5% of Android users are on 29+. Older API
levels require libc as of https://github.com/ziglang/zig/pull/24629, which has
confused some users. Seems reasonable to bump the default so most people won't
be confused by this.
Without this change, by default you get a failure when trying to cross
compile for these targets.
freebsd was error: undefined symbol: __libc_start1
netbsd was warning: invalid target NetBSD libc version: 9.4.0
error: unable to build NetBSD libc shared objects: InvalidTargetLibCVersion
now they work by default
Alignment and fill options only apply to numbers.
Rework the implementation to mainly branch on the format string rather
than the type information. This is more straightforward to maintain and
more straightforward for comptime evaluation.
Enums support being printed as decimal, hexadecimal, octal, and binary.
`formatInteger` is another possible format method that is
unconditionally called when the value type is struct and one of the
integer-printing format specifiers are used.
added adapter to AnyWriter and GenericWriter to help bridge the gap
between old and new API
make std.testing.expectFmt work at compile-time
std.fmt no longer has a dependency on std.unicode. Formatted printing
was never properly unicode-aware. Now it no longer pretends to be.
Breakage/deprecations:
* std.fs.File.reader -> std.fs.File.deprecatedReader
* std.fs.File.writer -> std.fs.File.deprecatedWriter
* std.io.GenericReader -> std.io.Reader
* std.io.GenericWriter -> std.io.Writer
* std.io.AnyReader -> std.io.Reader
* std.io.AnyWriter -> std.io.Writer
* std.fmt.format -> std.fmt.deprecatedFormat
* std.fmt.fmtSliceEscapeLower -> std.ascii.hexEscape
* std.fmt.fmtSliceEscapeUpper -> std.ascii.hexEscape
* std.fmt.fmtSliceHexLower -> {x}
* std.fmt.fmtSliceHexUpper -> {X}
* std.fmt.fmtIntSizeDec -> {B}
* std.fmt.fmtIntSizeBin -> {Bi}
* std.fmt.fmtDuration -> {D}
* std.fmt.fmtDurationSigned -> {D}
* {} -> {f} when there is a format method
* format method signature
- anytype -> *std.io.Writer
- inferred error set -> error{WriteFailed}
- options -> (deleted)
* std.fmt.Formatted
- now takes context type explicitly
- no fmt string
Textual PTX is just assembly language like any other. And if we do ever add
support for emitting PTX object files after reverse engineering the bytecode
format, we'd be emitting ELF files like the CUDA toolchain. So there's really no
need for a special ObjectFormat tag here, nor linker code that treats it as a
distinct format.
The last Intel Quark MCU was released in 2015. Quark was announced to be EOL in
2019, and stopped shipping entirely in 2022.
The OS tag was only meaningful for Intel's weird fork of Linux 3.8.7 with a
special ABI that differs from the regular i386 System V ABI; beyond that, the
CPU itself is just a plain old P54C (i586). We of course keep support for the
CPU itself, just not Intel's Linux fork.
* This has not seen meaningful development for about a decade.
* The Linux kernel port was never upstreamed.
* The glibc port was never upstreamed.
* GCC 15.1 recently deprecated support it.
It may still make sense to support an ILP32 ABI on AArch64 more broadly (which
we already have the Abi.ilp32 tag for), but, to the extent that it even existed
in any "official" sense, the *GNU* ILP32 ABI is certainly dead.
