One of the main points of for loops is that you can safety check the
length once, before entering the loop, and then safely assume that every
element inside the loop is in bounds.
In master branch, the safety checks are incorrectly intact even inside
for loops. This commit fixes it. It's especially nice with multi-object
loops because the number of elided checks is N * M where N is how many
iterations and M is how many objects.
* Use std.Build.Cache.Directory instead of a string for storing the
cache roots and build roots.
* Set up a std.Build.Cache in build_runner.zig and use it in
std.Build.RunStep for avoiding redundant work.
Fixes#13970.
This fix makes test runners resolve package paths relative to the
directory the test runner is in. This means it is not possible to import
a file from outside the file tree root at the directory containing the
test runner.
New API introduced: std.Build.addModule
This function exposes a zig module with the given name, which can be
used by packages that depend on this one via std.Build.Dependency.module.
std.Build.Pkg and related functionality is deleted. Every use case has a
straightforward upgrade path using the new Module struct.
std.Build.OptionsStep.getPackage is replaced by
std.Build.OptionsStep.createModule.
std.Build.CompileStep.addPackagePath is replaced by
std.Build.CompileStep.addAnonymousModule.
This partially addresses #14307 by renaming some of the instances of
"package" to "module".
Closes#14278
Several enhancements to the build system. Many breaking changes to the API.
* combine `std.build` and `std.build.Builder` into `std.Build`
* eliminate `setTarget` and `setBuildMode`; use an options struct for `b.addExecutable` and friends
* implement passing options to dependency packages. closes#14285
* rename `LibExeObjStep` to `CompileStep`
* move src.type.CType to std lib, use it from std.Build, this helps with populating config.h files.
These functions are currently footgunny when working with pointers to
arrays and slices. They just return the stated length of the array/slice
without iterating and looking for the first sentinel, even if the
array/slice is a sentinel terminated type.
From looking at the quite small list of places in the standard
library/compiler that this change breaks existing code, the new code
looks to be more readable in all cases.
The usage of std.mem.span/len was totally unneeded in most of the cases
affected by this breaking change.
We could remove these functions entirely in favor of other existing
functions in std.mem such as std.mem.sliceTo(), but that would be a
somewhat nasty breaking change as std.mem.span() is very widely used for
converting sentinel terminated pointers to slices. It is however not at
all widely used for anything else.
Therefore I think it is better to break these few non-standard and
potentially incorrect usages of these functions now and at some later
time, if deemed worthwhile, finally remove these functions.
If we wait for at least a full release cycle so that everyone adapts to
this change first, updating for the removal could be a simple find and
replace without needing to worry about the semantics.
