Everybody gets what they want!
* AT_RANDOM is completely ignored.
* On Linux, MADV_WIPEONFORK is used to provide fork safety.
* On pthread systems, `pthread_atfork` is used to provide fork safety.
* For systems that do not have the capability to provide fork safety,
the implementation falls back to calling getrandom() every time.
* If madvise is unavailable or returns an error, or pthread_atfork
fails for whatever reason, it falls back to calling getrandom() every
time.
* Applications may choose to opt-out of fork safety.
* Applications may choose to opt-in to unconditionally calling
getrandom() for every call to std.crypto.random.fillFn.
* Added `std.meta.globalOption`.
* Added `std.os.madvise` and related bits.
* Bumped up the size of the main thread TLS buffer. See the comment
there for justification.
* Simpler hot path in TLS initialization.
Do the alignment dance by ourselves whenever posix_memalign is not
available.
Don't try to use malloc as it has too many edge cases, figuring out
whether a block of memory is manually aligned by the mechanism above or
is directly coming from malloc becomes too hard to be valuable.
* rework os.sendfile and add macosx support, and a fallback
implementation for any OS.
* fix sendto compile error
* std.os write functions support partial writes. closes#3443.
* std.os pread / pwrite functions can now return `error.Unseekable`.
* std.fs.File read/write functions now have readAll/writeAll variants
which loop to complete operations even when partial reads/writes
happen.
* Audit std.os read/write functions with respect to Linux returning
EINVAL for lengths greater than 0x7fff0000.
* std.os read/write shim functions do not unnecessarily loop. Since
partial reads/writes are part of the API, the caller will be forced
to loop anyway, and so that would just be code bloat.
* Improve doc comments
* Add a non-trivial test for std.os.sendfile
* Fix std.os.pread on 32 bit Linux
* Add missing SYS_sendfile bit on aarch64
* re-introduce `std.build.Target` which is distinct from `std.Target`.
`std.build.Target` wraps `std.Target` so that it can be annotated as
"the native target" or an explicitly specified target.
* `std.Target.Os` is moved to `std.Target.Os.Tag`. The former is now a
struct which has the tag as well as version range information.
* `std.elf` gains some more ELF header constants.
* `std.Target.parse` gains the ability to parse operating system
version ranges as well as glibc version.
* Added `std.Target.isGnuLibC()`.
* self-hosted dynamic linker detection and glibc version detection.
This also adds the improved logic using `/usr/bin/env` rather than
invoking the system C compiler to find the dynamic linker when zig
is statically linked. Related: #2084
Note: this `/usr/bin/env` code is work-in-progress.
* `-target-glibc` CLI option is removed in favor of the new `-target`
syntax. Example: `-target x86_64-linux-gnu.2.27`
closes#1907
