* the file's doc-comment was misleading and did not focus on the correct aspect of SIMD
* added cpu flag awareness to `suggestVectorLengthForCpu` in order to provide a more accurate vector length
Now we generate debug undefined constants when the user asks for them to dedup across the function decl. This takes 2 instructions instead of 7 in the RISC-V backend.
TODO, we need to dedupe across function decl boundaries.
Before this commit, the WTF-16 command line string would be converted to WTF-8 in `init`, and then a second buffer of the WTF-8 size + 1 would be allocated to store the parsed arguments. The converted WTF-8 command line would then be parsed and the relevant bytes would be copied into the argument buffer before being returned.
After this commit, only the WTF-8 size of the WTF-16 string is calculated (without conversion) which is then used to allocate the buffer for the parsed arguments. Parsing is then done on the WTF-16 slice directly, with the arguments being converted to WTF-8 on-the-fly.
This has a few (minor) benefits:
- Cuts the amount of memory allocated by ArgIteratorWindows in half (or better)
- Makes the total amount of memory allocated by ArgIteratorWindows predictable, since, before, the upfront `wtf16LeToWtf8Alloc` call could end up allocating more-memory-than-necessary temporarily due to its internal use of an ArrayList. Now, the amount of memory allocated is always exactly `calcWtf8Len(cmd_line) + 1`.
This was causing zig2.exe to crash during bootstrap, because there was an atomic
load of read-only memory, and the attempt to write to it as part of the (idempotent)
atomic exchange was invalid.
Aligned reads (of u32 / u64) are atomic on x86 / x64, so this is replaced with an
optimization-proof load (`__iso_volatile_load8*`) and a reordering barrier.
This allows the mutate mutex to only be locked during actual grows,
which are rare. For the lists that didn't previously have a mutex, this
change has little effect since grows are rare and there is zero
contention on a mutex that is only ever locked by one thread. This
change allows `extra` to be mutated without racing with a grow.
Makes the build runner compile successfully for non-linux targets;
printing an error if you ask for --watch rather than making build
scripts fail to compile.
it's not advertised in the usage and only available in debug builds of
the compiler. Makes it easier to test changes to the build runner that
might affect targets differently.
Updates the build runner to unconditionally require a zig lib directory
parameter. This parameter is needed in order to correctly understand
file system inputs from zig compiler subprocesses, since they will refer
to "the zig lib directory", and the build runner needs to place file
system watches on directories in there.
The build runner's fanotify file watching implementation now accounts
for when two or more Cache.Path instances compare unequal but ultimately
refer to the same directory in the file system.
Breaking change: std.Build no longer has a zig_lib_dir field. Instead,
there is the Graph zig_lib_directory field, and individual Compile steps
can still have their zig lib directories overridden. I think this is
unlikely to break anyone's build in practice.
The compiler now sends a "file_system_inputs" message to the build
runner which shares the full set of files that were added to the cache
system with the build system, so that the build runner can watch
properly and redo the Compile step. This is implemented for whole cache
mode but not yet for incremental cache mode.
and add file system watching integration.
`addDirectoryWatchInput` now returns a `bool` which helps remind the
caller to
1. call addDirectoryWatchInputFromPath on any derived paths
2. but only if the dependency is not already captured by a step
dependency edge.
The make function now recursively walks all directories and adds the
found files to the cache hash rather than incorrectly only adding the
directory name to the cache hash.
closes#20571
and deprecate `addFile`. Part of an effort to move towards using
`std.Build.Cache.Path` abstraction in more places, which makes it easier
to avoid absolute paths and path resolution.
