* std.cache_hash exposes Hasher type
* std.cache_hash makes hasher_init a global const
* std.cache_hash supports cloning so that clones can share the same
open manifest dir handle as well as fork from shared hasher state
* start to populate the cache_hash for stage2 builds
* remove a footgun from std.cache_hash add function
* get rid of std.Target.ObjectFormat.unknown
* rework stage2 logic for resolving output artifact names by adding
object_format as an optional parameter to std.zig.binNameAlloc
* support -Denable-llvm in stage2 tests
* Module supports the use case when there are no .zig files
* introduce c_object_table and failed_c_objects to Module
* propagate many new kinds of data from CLI into Module and into
linker.Options
* introduce -fLLVM, -fLLD, -fClang and their -fno- counterparts.
closes#6251.
- add logic for choosing when to use LLD or zig's self-hosted linker
* stub code for implementing invoking Clang to build C objects
* add -femit-h, -femit-h=foo, and -fno-emit-h CLI options
* build.zig: repair the ability to link against llvm, clang, and lld
* move the zig cc arg parsing logic to stage2
- the preprocessor flag is still TODO
- the clang arg iterator code is improved to use slices instead of
raw pointers because it no longer has to deal with an extern
struct.
* clean up error printing with a `fatal` function and use log API
for messages rather than std.debug.print
* add support for more CLI options to stage2 & update usage text
- hooking up most of these new options is TODO
* clean up the way libc and libc++ are detected via command line
options. target information is used to determine if any of the libc
candidate names are chosen.
* add native library directory detection
* implement the ability to invoke clang from stage2
* introduce a build_options.have_llvm so we can comptime branch
on whether LLVM is linked in or not.
* Add a size_hint parameter to the read{toEnd,File}AllocOptions fns
* Rename readAllAlloc{,Options} to readToEndAlloc{,Options} as they
don't rewind the file before reading
* Fix missing rewind in test case
Added std.coff.MachineType
Added image characteristic and section flag valued to std.coff
Added std.Target.Cpu.Arch.toCoffMachine
Fixed stage2 --watch flag on windows
Thus far, we only generate the type, function, export, and code
sections. These are sufficient to generate and export simple functions.
Codegen is currently hardcoded to `i32.const 42`, the main goal of this
commit is to create infrastructure for the container format which will
work with incremental compilation.
`std.builtin.StackTrace` gains a `format` function.
GeneralPurposeAllocator uses `std.log.err` instead of directly printing
to stderr. Some errors are recoverable.
The test runner is modified to fail the test run if any log messages of
"err" or worse severity are encountered.
self-hosted is modified to always print log messages of "err" severity
or worse even if they have not been explicitly enabled.
This makes GeneralPurposeAllocator available on the freestanding target.
* std.Mutex API is improved to not have init() deinit(). This API is
designed to support static initialization and does not require any
resource cleanup. This also happens to work around some kind of
stage1 behavior that wasn't letting the new allocator mutex code
get compiled.
* the general purpose allocator now returns a bool from deinit()
which tells if there were any leaks. This value is used by the test
runner to fail the tests if there are any.
* self-hosted compiler is updated to use the general purpose allocator
when not linking against libc.
* AST: flatten ControlFlowExpression into Continue, Break, and Return.
* AST: unify identifiers and literals into the same AST type: OneToken
* AST: ControlFlowExpression uses TrailerFlags to optimize storage
space.
* astgen: support `var` as well as `const` locals, and support
explicitly typed locals. Corresponding Module and codegen code is not
implemented yet.
* astgen: support result locations.
* ZIR: add the following instructions (see the corresponding doc
comments for explanations of semantics):
- alloc
- alloc_inferred
- bitcast_result_ptr
- coerce_result_block_ptr
- coerce_result_ptr
- coerce_to_ptr_elem
- ensure_result_used
- ensure_result_non_error
- ret_ptr
- ret_type
- store
- param_type
* the skeleton structure for result locations is set up. It's looking
pretty clean so far.
* add compile error for unused result and compile error for discarding
errors.
* astgen: split builtin calls up to implemented manually, and implement
`@as`, `@bitCast` (and others) with respect to result locations.
* add CLI support for hex and raw object formats. They are not
supported by the self-hosted compiler yet, and emit errors.
* rename `--c` CLI to `-ofmt=[objectformat]` which can be any of the
object formats. Only ELF and C are supported so far. Also added missing
help to the help text.
* Remove hard tabs from C backend test cases. Shame on you Noam, you
are grounded, you should know better, etc. Bad boy.
* Delete C backend code and test case that relied on comptime_int
incorrectly making it all the way to codegen.
I'm allowing incremental compilation of ZIR modules to be broken. This
is not a real use case of ZIR, and the feature requires a lot of code
duplication with incremental compilation of Zig AST (which works great).
zig fmt previously would write a temp file, and then either rename it
into place if necessary, or unlink it if nothing was changed. Now zig
fmt renders into a memory buffer, and only writes the temp file and
renames it into place if anything changed.
Based on the performance testing I did this actually did not have much
of an impact, however it's likely that on other operating systems and
other hard drives this could make a big difference.
* `std.fs.Dir.Entry.Kind` is moved to `std.fs.File.Kind`
* `std.fs.File.Stat` gains the `kind` field, so performing a stat() on
a File now tells what kind of file it is. On Windows this only will
distinguish between directories and files.
* rework zig fmt logic so that in the case of opening a file and
discovering it to be a directory, it closes the file descriptor
before re-opening it with O_DIRECTORY, using fewer simultaneous open
file descriptors when walking a directory tree.
* rework zig fmt logic so that it pays attention to the kind of
directory entries, and when it sees a sub-directory it attempts to
open it as a directory rather than a file, reducing the number of
open() syscalls when walking a directory tree.
