Without doing this, we don't actually test whether the data layout string we
generate matches LLVM's.
A number of targets had to be commented out due to this change:
* Some are using a non-working experimental LLVM backend (arc, csky, ...).
* Some don't have working LLD support (lanai, sparc, ...).
* Some don't have working self-hosted linker support (nvptx).
* Some are using ABIs that haven't been standardized (loongarch32).
Finally, all non-x86 uefi targets are hopelessly broken and can't really be
fixed until we change our emit logic to lower *-uefi-* verbatim rather than to
*-windows-*. See: https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/21630
We have deduced that it seems the sporadic BrokenPipe failures happening
on the CI runners (e.g.
https://github.com/ziglang/zig/actions/runs/12035916948/job/33555963190)
are likely caused by the test runner's stdin pipe abnormally closing,
likely due to the process crashing. Here, we introduce error handling
for this case, so that if these writes fail, the step is marked as
failed correctly, and we still collect the child's stderr to report.
This won't fix the CI issues, but it should promote them to proper error
messages including child stderr, which -- at least in theory -- should
allow us to ultimately track down where the errors come from.
Note that this change is desirable regardless of bugs in the test runner
or similar, since the child process could terminate abnormally for any
number of reasons (e.g. a crashing test), and such cases should be
correctly reported by the build runner.
Apple has already dropped support for macOS 12.
GitHub Actions is dropping macOS 12 support now.
The Zig project is also dropping macOS 12 support now.
This commit also bumps default minimum macos version to 13.
To my knowledge there isn't an implementation of `sse4.2` that doesn't have `crc32`.
The Clang driver also sets `crc32` to be implicitly enabled when an explicit `-crc32`
wasn't provided. This matches that behaviour.
We need this behaviour to compile libraries like `rocksdb` which currently guard against
`crc32` intrinsics by checking for `sse4.2`.
* Cleanup the argument handling logic to allow for optional arguments.
* Add a filter for which `llvm_target` to process.
* Switch to using a threadpool, needed for skipping llvm targets cleanly
and better distributes the work.
* Remove a seemingly useless piece of logic. I re-ran the script and it gave identical outputs.
Uses the non rational solution of a quadratic, I made it work up to 256
bits, added Mathematica code in case anyone wants to verify the magic
constant.
integers between sizes 3...15 were affected by fatal bias, it is best to
make them pass through the generic solution.
Thanks to RetroDev256 & Andrew feedback.
In the parent commit, I handled odd bit sizes by upcasting and
truncating. However it seems the else branch is intended to handle
those cases instead, so this commit reverts that behavior.
also
* allow signed ints, simply bitcast them to unsigned
* handle odd bit sizes by upcasting and then truncating
* naming conventions
* remove redundant code
* better use of testing API
Before, the default bit mixer was very biased, and after a
lot of searching it turns out that selecting a better solution is hard.
I wrote a custom statistical analysis taylored for bit mixers in order
to select the best one at each size (u64/u32/u16), compared a lot of
mixers, and packaged the best ones in this commit.
It wasn't immediately clear from the implementation whether passing
zero-length memory to free() was undefined behavior or intentionally
supported. Since ArrayList and other core data structures rely on
this behavior working correctly, this should be explicitly documented
as part of the public API contract.
And make the initialization less error prone by removing a default for
iter, which is required for a functional parser
std: Add a brief doc comment for `std.fmt.Parser`
Previously, stepping from the single statement within the loop would
always exit the loop because all of the code unrolled from the loop is
associated with the same line and treated by the debugger as one line.
