The old logic only decremented `remaining_prelink_tasks` if `bin_file`
was not `null`. This meant that on `-fno-emit-bin` builds with
registered prelink tasks (e.g. C source files), we exited from
`Compilation.performAllTheWorkInner` early, assuming a prelink error.
Instead, when `bin_file` is `null`, we still decrement
`remaining_prelink_tasks`; we just don't do any actual work.
Resolves: #22682
When determining the type of RC compiler, meson passes `/?` or `--version` and then reads from `stdout` looking for particular string(s) anywhere in the output.
So, by adding the string "Microsoft Resource Compiler" to the `/?` output, meson will recognize `zig rc` as rc.exe and give it the correct options, which works fine since `zig rc` is drop-in CLI compatible with rc.exe.
This allows using `zig rc` with meson for (cross-)compiling, by either:
- Setting WINDRES="zig rc" or putting windres = ['zig', 'rc'] in the cross-file
+ This will work like rc.exe, so it will output .res files. This will only link successfully if you are using a linker that can do .res -> .obj conversion (so something like zig cc, MSVC, lld)
- Setting WINDRES="zig rc /:output-format coff" or putting windres = ['zig', 'rc', '/:output-format', 'coff'] in the cross-file
+ This will make meson pass flags as if it were rc.exe, but it will cause the resulting .res file to actually be a COFF object file, meaning it will work with any linker that handles COFF object files
Example cross file that uses `zig cc` (which can link `.res` files, so `/:output-format coff` is not necessary) and `zig rc`:
```
[binaries]
c = ['zig', 'cc', '--target=x86_64-windows-gnu']
windres = ['zig', 'rc']
[target_machine]
system = 'windows'
cpu_family = 'x86_64'
cpu = 'x86_64'
endian = 'little'
```
LLD expects the library file name (minus extension) to be exactly libmingw32. By
calling it mingw32 previously, we prevented it from being detected as being in
LLD's list of libraries that are excluded from the MinGW-specific auto-export
mechanism.

As a result, a DLL built for *-windows-gnu with Zig would export a bunch of
internal MinGW symbols. This sometimes worked out fine, but it could break at
link or run time when linking an EXE with a DLL, where both are targeting
*-windows-gnu and thus linking separate copies of mingw32.lib. In #23204, this
manifested as the linker getting confused about _gnu_exception_handler() because
it was incorrectly exported by the DLL while also being defined in the
mingw32.lib that was being linked into the EXE.
Closes#23204.
The code did one useless thing and two wrong things:
- ref counting was basically a noop
- last_dir_fd was chosen from the wrong index and also under the wrong
condition
This caused regular crashes on macOS which are now gone.
On updates with failed files, we should refrain from doing any semantic
analysis, or even touching codegen/link. That way, incremental
compilation state is untouched for when the user fixes the AstGen
errors.
Resolves: #23205
This reverts commit 7e0c25eccd8d9bc5b77953dbc9a39a26e383c550.
The `--git-dir` argument is relative to the `-C` argument, making this
patch OK after all.
I added a comment to go along with this since I found it confusing.
Apologies for the revert.
Clang's integrated Arm assembler doesn't understand -mabi yet, so this results
in "unused command line argument" warnings when building musl code and glibc
stubs, for example.
The bitcode format always uses little endian words. Prior to this commit, a
bitcode file produced on e.g. aarch64_be or s390x would fail to be loaded by
LLVM.
Windows is a ridiculous operating system designed by toddlers, and so
requires us to close all file handles in the `tmp/xxxxxxx` cache dir
before renaming it into `o/xxxxxxx`. We have a hack in place to handle
this for the main output file, but the MachO linker also outputs a file
with debug symbols, and we weren't closing it! This led to a fuckton of
CI failures when we enabled `.whole` cache mode by default for
self-hosted backends.
thanks jacob for figuring this out while i sat there
The Bernstein-Yang inversion code was meant to be used only with the
fields we currently use for the NIST curves.
But people copied that code and were confused that it didn't work as
expected with other field sizes.
It doesn't cost anything to make it work with other field sizes,
that may support in the future. So let's do it.
This also reduces the diff with the example zig code in fiat crypto.
