This new option sets a default libc paths file to be used for all
LibExeObjSteps. Setting LibExeObjStep.libc_file overrides this default.
This is required to allow users to cross compile projects linking system
libraries without needing to patch the build.zig.
Previous to #7082, users could overwrite PATH_MAX in the root file to support std.os.toPosixPath, permitting the "bring your own operating system" layer to implement the POSIX API for opening files. Unfortunately that is no longer the case.
This commit intends to fix what is arguably a regression from 0.7 in a way that doesn't break any code targeting 0.8.0, making it suitable to be included in a 0.8 patch release.
However in a future release that permits breaking changes, I am of the opinion that it would be beneficial to overwrite the value, even for "supported" operating systems. Same for all the other POSIX/BYOOS functions and values. However this is beyond the scope of this commit. Further discussion of this will be made into an issue in due time.
* Avoid emitting the copy_file_range symbol at all to prevent link-time
errors.
* Fix a bug in the check logic, the has_copy_file_range_syscall was
set to the wrong value in case of ENOSYS
* If link_libc is true don't fall-back to the raw syscall approach,
there's no policy about what to do in this case but let's follow what
the other impls do.
Fixes#9146
`return` statements use a new function `nodeMayEvalToError` which does
some basic checks on the AST node to return never, always, or maybe.
Depending on this result, AstGen skips the errdefers, always includes
the errdefers, or emits a conditional branch to check whether the return
value is an error that Sema will have to evaluate.

Unblocks #9047
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
Lakemont has no x86, no MMX, no SSE and no way of handling any fp-math. In theory LLVM is able to implicitly use the soft-float emulation library calls to legalize any such operation but, given Zig's use of many non-standard features, sometimes we hit a weak spot in the X86 codegen backend.
Consider this as a work-around for this LLVM problem, fixing the problem in LLVM is not so high in my todo list as the target is pretty niche and Intel axed it in '19.

NetBSD expects 2 PT_LOAD segments in a shared object, otherwise
ld.elf_so fails to load, emitting a general "not found" error.
Workaround issue by adding args `--no-rosegment` and `-znorelro`.
see #9109
Previously, Zig did not properly communicate the target CPU features for
RISC-V to clang assembler, because Clang has a different way to pass CPU
features for C code and for assembly code. This commit makes Zig pass a
RISC-V -march flag in order to communicate CPU features to Clang when
compiling assembly files.
Two bugs in the implementation ported from musl made all the complex
functions relying on ldexp return incorrect results in some cases.
Spotted in #9047
* 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`

It turns out the code was not ported correctly from C and produced wrong
results for negative input values. As a bonus fix the NaN codepath by
adding yet another missing piece of code.

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.
Zig has detection for when it is accidentally being called recursively
when trying to find the native libc installation. However it was not
working, resulting in a cryptic failure, because zig tried to execute
a command which had spaces in it rather than tokenizing it.
This improves the user experience of `zig cc` for systems that Zig
does not support cross-compiling for.
Closes#8960
I want the language reference to be divorced from any particular
community. Also remove the call to action since the docs are
known to be incomplete and are not the current focus of the project.
Closes#9055
When linking with -lfoo syntax, this indicates to Zig that the
dependency should either be provided by Zig, or it should be dynamically
provided by the system.
For windows-gnu targets, the search path was "foo.lib". Now it
additionally looks for "libfoo.dll.a".
Closes#7799
Add two helpers to ensure people won't ignore some edge cases such as
pointers overflowing the address space.
Also fix#8924 to some degree, the amount of unchecked alignForward is
still scary.

* std: Better handing of POLLHUP in ChildProcess
Upon hitting the EOF condition there are two main differences between
how Linux and the *BSD-derived systems behave: the former sets POLLHUP
and POLLIN and, after reading any residual data, only POLLHUP remains
set. The latter signal the EOF condition by setting both flags thus
requiring some extra checks to determine if the stream is "done".
DragonFly workaround/hack for POLLHUP is no longer required.
Closes#8969
