I find myself quite often creating ReleaseSafe builds and putting them
to production for certain experiments:
- Debug info are for stack traces. An ongoing example where those would
help is #14815.
- Safety checks would have saved a couple of mine and @kubkon's hours in
#15098.
This is a breaking change for scripts that make Zig releases -- I will
submit another PR to zig-bootstrap and release-cutter after this is
merged.
The CI now runs C backend tests in addition to compiling them. It uses
-std=c99 -pedantic -Werror in order to catch non-conformant C code.
This necessitated disabling a test case that caused a C compile error,
in addition to disabling a handful of warnings that are already being
triggered by Zig's C backend output for the behavior tests.
The upshot is that I was able to, very cleanly, integrate the C backend
tests into the build system, so that it communicates via the test runner
protocol along with all the other behavior tests.
Make the test targets use options that match the actual options of
CompileStep. This makes the code more straightforward, and ends up
making fewer tests incorrectly skipped. For example, now the CI runner
on Windows will no longer skip self-hosted x86_64 backend tests.

The commit correctly removed dest_builder from InstallArtifactStep, but
the change to installLibraryHeaders was incorrect since it affected
different steps than that one.
`GetPhysicallyInstalledSystemMemory` uses SMBios to grab the physical
memory size which can lead to unecessary allocation and inacurate
representation of the total memory. Using `System_Basic_Information`
help to retrieve the physical memory which is not reserved for the
kernel/tables. This aligns better with the linux side as `/proc/meminfo`
does the same thing.
The Wasm backend now supports all features required to use
the full `start.zig` logic, rather than the simplified version.
With this commit we remove all references to the simplified logic
for Wasm specifically.
