This is necessary since isGnuLibC() is true for hurd, so we need to be able to
represent a glibc version for it.
Also add an Os.TaggedVersionRange.gnuLibCVersion() convenience function.
This option, by its very nature, needs to be attached to a module. If it isn't,
the code in a module could break at random when compiled into an application
that doesn't have this option set.
After this change, skip_linker_dependencies no longer implies no_builtin in the
LLVM backend.
The old isARM() function was a portability trap. With the name it had, it seemed
like the obviously correct function to use, but it didn't include Thumb. In the
vast majority of cases where someone wants to ask "is the target Arm?", Thumb
*should* be included.
There are exactly 3 cases in the codebase where we do actually need to exclude
Thumb, although one of those is in Aro and mirrors a check in Clang that is
itself likely a bug. These rare cases can just add an extra isThumb() check.
these tasks have some shared data dependencies so they cannot be done
simultaneously. Future work should untangle these data dependencies so
that more can be done in parallel.
for now this commit ensures correctness by making linker input parsing
and codegen tasks part of the same queue.
Ideally we'd like to use whatever alignment glibc actually ends up using in the
real libc.so.6. But we don't really have a way of getting at that information at
the moment, and it's not present in the abilist files. I haven't yet seen a
symbol that wasn't word-aligned, though, so I think this should be good enough
for 99% of symbols, if not actually 100%.
This prevents LLVM from...cleverly...merging all of the global variable stub
symbols that we emit under certain circumstances. This was observed in practice
when using zig-bootstrap for arm-linux-gnueabi(hf).
Embrace the Path abstraction, doing more operations based on directory
handles rather than absolute file paths. Most of the diff noise here
comes from this one.
Fix sorting of crtbegin/crtend atoms. Previously it would look at all
path components for those strings.
Make the C runtime path detection partially a pure function, and move
some logic to glibc.zig where it belongs.
This is necessary to inform the real, non-stub glibc that a program built with
Zig is using a modern `FILE` structure, i.e. glibc 2.1+. This is particularly
important on lesser-used architectures where the legacy code is poorly tested;
for example, glibc 2.40 introduced a regression for the legacy case in the
libio cleanup code, causing all Zig-compiled MIPS binaries to crash on exit.
What is `sparcel`, you might ask? Good question!
If you take a peek in the SPARC v8 manual, §2.2, it is quite explicit that SPARC
v8 is a big-endian architecture. No little-endian or mixed-endian support to be
found here.
On the other hand, the SPARC v9 manual, in §3.2.1.2, states that it has support
for mixed-endian operation, with big-endian mode being the default.
Ok, so `sparcel` must just be referring to SPARC v9 running in little-endian
mode, surely?
Nope:
* 40b4fd7a3e/llvm/lib/Target/Sparc/SparcTargetMachine.cpp (L226)
* 40b4fd7a3e/llvm/lib/Target/Sparc/SparcTargetMachine.cpp (L104)
So, `sparcel` in LLVM is referring to some sort of fantastical little-endian
SPARC v8 architecture. I've scoured the internet and I can find absolutely no
evidence that such a thing exists or has ever existed. In fact, I can find no
evidence that a little-endian implementation of SPARC v9 ever existed, either.
Or any SPARC version, actually!
The support was added here: https://reviews.llvm.org/D8741
Notably, there is no mention whatsoever of what CPU this might be referring to,
and no justification given for the "but some are little" comment added in the
patch.
My best guess is that this might have been some private exercise in creating a
little-endian version of SPARC that never saw the light of day. Given that SPARC
v8 explicitly doesn't support little-endian operation (let alone little-endian
instruction encoding!), and no CPU is known to be implemented as such, I think
it's very reasonable for us to just remove this support.
writeFile was deprecated in favor of writeFile2 in f645022d16361865e24582d28f1e62312fbc73bb. This commit renames writeFile2 to writeFile and makes writeFile2 a compile error.
Previously, when multiple modules had builtin modules with identical
sources, two distinct `Module`s and `File`s were created pointing at the
same file path. This led to a bug later in the frontend. These modules
are now deduplicated with a simple hashmap on the builtin source.
At a minimum required glibc is v2.17, as earlier versions do not define
some symbols (e.g., getauxval()) used by the Zig standard library.
Additionally, glibc only supports some architectures at more recent
versions (e.g., riscv64 support came in glibc v2.27). So add a
`glibc_min` field to `available_libcs` for architectures with stronger
version requirements.
Extend the existing `canBuildLibC` function to check the target against
the Zig minimum, and the architecture/os minimum.
Also filter the list shown by `zig targets`, too:
$ zig targets | jq -c '.glibc'

The scope of libc_nonshared.a was greatly changed in glibc 2.33 and
2.34, but only the change from 2.34 was reflected so far. Glibc 2.33
finally switched to versioned symbols for stat functions, meaning that
libc_nonshared.a no longer contains them since 2.33. Relevant files were
therefore reverted to 2.32 versions and renamed accordingly.
This commit also removes errno.c, which was probably added to
libc_nonshared.a based on a wrong assumption that glibc/include/errno.h
requires glibc/csu/errno.c. In reality errno.h should refer to
__libc_errno (not to be confused with the public __errno_location),
which should be imported from libc.so. The inclusion of errno.c resulted
in wrong compile options as well; this commit fixes them as well.
Fixes#16152
Instead of making its own inside create. 10 out of 10 calls to create()
had already an arena in scope, so this commit means that 10 instances of
Compilation now reuse an existing arena with the same lifetime rather
than creating a redundant one.
In other words, this very slightly optimizes initialization of the
frontend in terms of memory allocation.
