Acts as a replacement for `addSharedLibrary` and `addStaticLibrary`, but
linking mode can be changed more easily in build.zig, for example:
In library:
```zig
const linkage = b.option(std.builtin.LinkMode, "linkage", "Link mode for a foo_bar library") orelse .static; // or other default
const lib = b.addLibrary(.{
.linkage = linkage,
.name = "foo_bar",
.root_module = mod,
});
```
In consumer:
```zig
const dep_foo_bar = b.dependency("foo_bar", .{
.target = target,
.optimize = optimize,
.linkage = .static // or dynamic
});
mod.linkLibrary(dep_foor_bar.artifact("foo_bar"));
```
It also matches nicely with `linkLibrary` name.

The previous logic here was trying to assume that custom test runners
never used `std.zig.Server` to communicate with the build runner;
however, it was flawed, because modifying the `test_runner` field on
`Step.Compile` would not update this flag. That might have been
intentional (allowing a way for the user to specify a custom test runner
which *does* use the compiler server protocol), but if so, it was a
flawed API, since it was too easy to update one field without updating
the other.
Instead, bundle these two pieces of state into a new type
`std.Build.Step.Compile.TestRunner`. When passing a custom test runner,
you are now *provided* to specify whether it is a "simple" runner, or
whether it uses the compiler server protocol.
This is a breaking change, but is unlikely to affect many people, since
custom test runners are seldom used in the wild.
This rewrite improves some error messages, hugely simplifies the logic,
and fixes several bugs. One of these bugs is technically a new rule
which Andrew and I agreed on: if a parameter has a comptime-only type
but is not declared `comptime`, then the corresponding call argument
should not be *evaluated* at comptime; only resolved. Implementing this
required changing how function types work a little, which in turn
required allowing a new kind of function coercion for some generic use
cases: function coercions are now allowed to implicitly *remove*
`comptime` annotations from parameters with comptime-only types. This is
okay because removing the annotation affects only the call site.
Resolves: #22262
This commit changes the `root_module` field of `std.Build.Step.Compile`
to be a `*Module` rather than a `Module`. This is a breaking change, but
an incredibly minor one (the full potential extent of the breakage can
be seen in the modified standalone test).
This change will be necessary for an upcoming improvement, so it was
convenient to make it here.
The goal here is to support both levels of unwind tables (sync and async) in
zig cc and zig build. Previously, the LLVM backend always used async tables
while zig cc was partially influenced by whatever was Clang's default.
The freestanding and other OS targets by default need to just @trap in the
default Panic implementation.
And `isValidMemory` won't work with freestanding or other targets.
Update the unwind_freestanding.zig test case to also run on the 'other' OS
target, too. This should keep the Zig's stacktrace generation from
regressing on the standalone targets.
This commit reworks how anonymous struct literals and tuples work.
Previously, an untyped anonymous struct literal
(e.g. `const x = .{ .a = 123 }`) was given an "anonymous struct type",
which is a special kind of struct which coerces using structural
equivalence. This mechanism was a holdover from before we used
RLS / result types as the primary mechanism of type inference. This
commit changes the language so that the type assigned here is a "normal"
struct type. It uses a form of equivalence based on the AST node and the
type's structure, much like a reified (`@Type`) type.
Additionally, tuples have been simplified. The distinction between
"simple" and "complex" tuple types is eliminated. All tuples, even those
explicitly declared using `struct { ... }` syntax, use structural
equivalence, and do not undergo staged type resolution. Tuples are very
restricted: they cannot have non-`auto` layouts, cannot have aligned
fields, and cannot have default values with the exception of `comptime`
fields. Tuples currently do not have optimized layout, but this can be
changed in the future.
This change simplifies the language, and fixes some problematic
coercions through pointers which led to unintuitive behavior.
Resolves: #16865
This was the cause of aarch64-windows shared libraries causing "bad image" errors
during load-time linking. I also re-enabled the tests that were surfacing this bug.
The compiler actually doesn't need any functional changes for this: Sema
does reification based on the tag indices of `std.builtin.Type` already!
So, no zig1.wasm update is necessary.
This change is necessary to disallow name clashes between fields and
decls on a type, which is a prerequisite of #9938.
- look up the debuglink file in the directory of the executable file (instead of the cwd)
- fix parsing of debuglink section (the 4-byte alignement is within the file, unrelated to the in-memory address)
...which have a ucontext_t but not a PC register. The current stack
unwinding implementation does not yet support this architecture.
Also fix name of `std.debug.SelfInfo.openSelf` to remove redundancy.
Also removed this hook into root providing an "openSelfDebugInfo"
function. Sorry, this debugging code is not of sufficient quality to
offer a plugin API right now.
PR https://github.com/ziglang/zig/pull/20679 ("std.c reorganization")
switched feature-detection code to use "T != void" checks in place of
"@hasDecl". However, the std.posix.system struct is empty, so
compile-time feature detection against symbols in there (specifically
`std.posix.system.ucontext_t` in this case), fail at compile time on
freestanding targets.
This PR adds a void ucontext_t into the std.posix.system default.
This PR also adds pseudo-"freestanding" variation of the StackIterator
"unwind" test. It is sort of hacky (its freestanding, but assumes it can
invoke a Linux exit syscall), but it does detect this problem.
Fixes#20710
Changes the `make` function signature to take an options struct, which
additionally includes `watch: bool`. I intentionally am not exposing
this information to configure phase logic.
Also adds global zig cache to the compiler cache prefixes.
Closes#20600
Adds a missing call to addLazyPathDependenciesOnly in
std.Build.Module.addCSourceFiles. Also fixes an issue in
std.Build.Step.WriteFile where it wasn't updating all the GeneratedFile
instances for every directory. To fix the second issue, I removed
all the GeneratedFile instances and now all files/directories reference
the steps main GeneratedFile via sub paths.
Deprecated aliases that are now compile errors:
- `std.fs.MAX_PATH_BYTES` (renamed to `std.fs.max_path_bytes`)
- `std.mem.tokenize` (split into `tokenizeAny`, `tokenizeSequence`, `tokenizeScalar`)
- `std.mem.split` (split into `splitSequence`, `splitAny`, `splitScalar`)
- `std.mem.splitBackwards` (split into `splitBackwardsSequence`, `splitBackwardsAny`, `splitBackwardsScalar`)
- `std.unicode`
+ `utf16leToUtf8Alloc`, `utf16leToUtf8AllocZ`, `utf16leToUtf8`, `fmtUtf16le` (all renamed to have capitalized `Le`)
+ `utf8ToUtf16LeWithNull` (renamed to `utf8ToUtf16LeAllocZ`)
- `std.zig.CrossTarget` (moved to `std.Target.Query`)
Deprecated `lib/std/std.zig` decls were deleted instead of made a `@compileError` because the `refAllDecls` in the test block would trigger the `@compileError`. The deleted top-level `std` namespaces are:
- `std.rand` (renamed to `std.Random`)
- `std.TailQueue` (renamed to `std.DoublyLinkedList`)
- `std.ChildProcess` (renamed/moved to `std.process.Child`)
This is not exhaustive. Deprecated aliases that I didn't touch:
+ `std.io.*`
+ `std.Build.*`
+ `std.builtin.Mode`
+ `std.zig.c_translation.CIntLiteralRadix`
+ anything in `src/`
* Skip building libcxx mt-only source files when single-threaded.
* This change is required for llvm18 libcxx.
* Add standalone test to link a trivial:
- mt-executable with libcxx
- st-executable with libcxx
Introduces `disable_zig_progress` which prevents the build runner from
assigning the child process a progress node.
This is needed for the empty_env test which requires the environment to
be completely empty.
This allows running commands that take an output directory argument. The
main thing that was needed for this feature was generated file subpaths,
to allow access to the files in a generated directory. Additionally, a
minor change was required to so that the correct directory is created
for output directory args.
* `doc/langref` formatting
* upgrade `.{ .path = "..." }` to `b.path("...")`
* avoid using arguments named `self`
* make `Build.Step.Id` usage more consistent
* add `Build.pathResolve`
* use `pathJoin` and `pathResolve` everywhere
* make sure `Build.LazyPath.getPath2` returns an absolute path
writeFile was deprecated in favor of writeFile2 in f645022d16361865e24582d28f1e62312fbc73bb. This commit renames writeFile2 to writeFile and makes writeFile2 a compile error.
Adds an `include_paths` field to RcSourceFile that takes a slice of LazyPaths. The paths are resolved and subsequently appended to the -rcflags as `/I <resolved path>`.
This fixes an accidental regression from https://github.com/ziglang/zig/pull/19174. Before that PR, all Win32 resource compilation would inherit the CC flags (via `addCCArgs`), which included things like include directories. After that PR, though, that is no longer the case.
However, this commit intentionally does not restore the previous behavior (inheriting the C include paths). Instead, each .rc file will need to have its include paths specified directly and the include paths only apply to one particular resource script. This allows more fine-grained control and has less potentially surprising behavior (at the cost of some convenience).
Closes#19605
