The downside of this commit is that more precise errors are no longer
propagated up. However, these errors were pretty useless in isolation
due to them having no context; and regardless, we intentionally swallow
most of them in `std.debug` anyway. Therefore, this is better in
practice, because it allows `std.debug` to give slightly more useful
warnings when handling errors. This commit does that for unwind errors,
for instance, which differentiate between the unwind info being corrupt
vs missing vs inaccessible vs unsupported.
A better solution would be to also include more detailed information via
the diagnostics pattern, but this commit is an incremental improvement.
turns out this isn't technically specific to that target at all; other
targets just don't emit mid-function 'ret' instructions as much so
certain CFI instruction patterns were only seen on aarch64.
thanks to jacob for finding the bug <3
The big endian RISC-V effort is mostly driven by MIPS (the company) which is
pivoting to RISC-V, and presumably needs a big endian variant to fill the niche
that big endian MIPS (the ISA) did.
GCC already supports these targets, but LLVM support will only appear in 22;
this commit just adds the necessary target knowledge and checks on our end.
This API is based around the unsound idea that a process can perform
checked virtual memory loads to prevent crashing. This depends on
OS-specific APIs that may be unavailable, disabled, or impossible due to
virtualization.
It also makes collecting stack traces ridiculously slow, which is a
problem for users of DebugAllocator - in other words, everybody, all the
time. It also makes strace go from being superbly clean to being awful.
* std.Io.Reader: appendRemaining no longer supports alignment and has
different rules about how exceeding limit. Fixed bug where it would
return success instead of error.StreamTooLong like it was supposed to.
* std.Io.Reader: simplify appendRemaining and appendRemainingUnlimited
to be implemented based on std.Io.Writer.Allocating
* std.Io.Writer: introduce unreachableRebase
* std.Io.Writer: remove minimum_unused_capacity from Allocating. maybe
that flexibility could have been handy, but let's see if anyone
actually needs it. The field is redundant with the superlinear growth
of ArrayList capacity.
* std.Io.Writer: growingRebase also ensures total capacity on the
preserve parameter, making it no longer necessary to do
ensureTotalCapacity at the usage site of decompression streams.
* std.compress.flate.Decompress: fix rebase not taking into account seek
* std.compress.zstd.Decompress: split into "direct" and "indirect" usage
patterns depending on whether a buffer is provided to init, matching
how flate works. Remove some overzealous asserts that prevented buffer
expansion from within rebase implementation.
* std.zig: fix readSourceFileToAlloc returning an overaligned slice
which was difficult to free correctly.
fixes#24608
added adapter to AnyWriter and GenericWriter to help bridge the gap
between old and new API
make std.testing.expectFmt work at compile-time
std.fmt no longer has a dependency on std.unicode. Formatted printing
was never properly unicode-aware. Now it no longer pretends to be.
Breakage/deprecations:
* std.fs.File.reader -> std.fs.File.deprecatedReader
* std.fs.File.writer -> std.fs.File.deprecatedWriter
* std.io.GenericReader -> std.io.Reader
* std.io.GenericWriter -> std.io.Writer
* std.io.AnyReader -> std.io.Reader
* std.io.AnyWriter -> std.io.Writer
* std.fmt.format -> std.fmt.deprecatedFormat
* std.fmt.fmtSliceEscapeLower -> std.ascii.hexEscape
* std.fmt.fmtSliceEscapeUpper -> std.ascii.hexEscape

* std.fmt.fmtSliceHexUpper -> {X}
* std.fmt.fmtIntSizeDec -> {B}
* std.fmt.fmtIntSizeBin -> {Bi}
* std.fmt.fmtDuration -> {D}
* std.fmt.fmtDurationSigned -> {D}
* {} -> {f} when there is a format method
* format method signature
- anytype -> *std.io.Writer
- inferred error set -> error{WriteFailed}
- options -> (deleted)
* std.fmt.Formatted
- now takes context type explicitly
- no fmt string
preparing to rearrange std.io namespace into an interface
how to upgrade:
std.io.getStdIn() -> std.fs.File.stdin()
std.io.getStdOut() -> std.fs.File.stdout()
std.io.getStdErr() -> std.fs.File.stderr()
`castTruncatedData` was a poorly worded error (all shrinking casts
"truncate bits", it's just that we assume those bits to be zext/sext of
the other bits!), and `negativeToUnsigned` was a pointless distinction
which forced the compiler to emit worse code (since two separate safety
checks were required for casting e.g. 'i32' to 'u16') and wasn't even
implemented correctly. This commit combines those safety panics into one
function, `integerOutOfBounds`. The name maybe isn't perfect, but that's
not hugely important; what matters is the new default message, which is
clearer than the old ones: "integer does not fit in destination type".
Functions like isMinGW() and isGnuLibC() have a good reason to exist: They look
at multiple components of the target. But functions like isWasm(), isDarwin(),
isGnu(), etc only exist to save 4-8 characters. I don't think this is a good
enough reason to keep them, especially given that:
* It's not immediately obvious to a reader whether target.isDarwin() means the
same thing as target.os.tag.isDarwin() precisely because isMinGW() and similar
functions *do* look at multiple components.
* It's not clear where we would draw the line. The logical conclusion before
this commit would be to also wrap Arch.isX86(), Os.Tag.isSolarish(),
Abi.isOpenHarmony(), etc... this obviously quickly gets out of hand.
* It's nice to just have a single correct way of doing something.
