This is a major refactor to `Step.Run` which adds new functionality,
primarily to the execution of Zig tests.
* All tests are run, even if a test crashes. This happens through the
same mechanism as timeouts where the test processes is repeatedly
respawned as needed.
* The build status output is more precise. For each unit test, it
differentiates pass, skip, fail, crash, and timeout. Memory leaks are
reported separately, as they do not indicate a test's "status", but
are rather an additional property (a test with leaks may still pass!).
* The number of memory leaks is tracked and reported, both per-test and
for a whole `Run` step.
* Reporting is made clearer when a step is failed solely due to error
logs (`std.log.err`) where every unit test passed.
For now, there is a flag to `zig build` called `--test-timeout-ms` which
accepts a value in milliseconds. If the execution time of any individual
unit test exceeds that number of milliseconds, the test is terminated
and marked as timed out.
In the future, we may want to increase the granularity of this feature
by allowing timeouts to be specified per-step or even per-test. However,
a global option is actually very useful. In particular, it can be used
in CI scripts to ensure that no individual unit test exceeds some
reasonable limit (e.g. 60 seconds) without having to assign limits to
every individual test step in the build script.
Also, individual unit test durations are now shown in the time report
web interface -- this was fairly trivial to add since we're timing tests
(to check for timeouts) anyway.
This commit makes progress on #19821, but does not close it, because
that proposal includes a more sophisticated mechanism for setting
timeouts.

- Revive some of the removed cache integration logic in `cmdTranslateC` now that `translate-c` can return error bundles
- Fixup inconsistent path separators (on Windows) when building the aro include path
- Move some error bundle logic from resinator into aro.Diagnostics
- Add `ErrorBundle.addRootErrorMessageWithNotes` (extracted from resinator)
Fix `takeDelimiter` and `takeDelimiterExclusive` tossing too many bytes
(#25132)
Also add/improve test coverage for all delimiter and sentinel methods,
update usages of `takeDelimiterExclusive` to not rely on the fixed bug,
tweak a handful of doc comments, and slightly simplify some logic.
I have not fixed#24950 in this commit because I am a little less
certain about the appropriate solution there.
Resolves: #25132

FreeBSD doesn't support the same number of platforms as Linux, and even then,
only has usermode emulation for a subset of its supported platforms.
NetBSD's usermode emulation support is apparently just broken at the moment.
Adds the limit option to `--fuzz=[limit]`. the limit expresses a number
of iterations that *each fuzz test* will perform at maximum before
exiting. The limit argument supports also 'K', 'M', and 'G' suffixeds
(e.g. '10K').
Does not imply `--web-ui` (like unlimited fuzzing does) and prints a
fuzzing report at the end.
Closes#22900 but does not implement the time based limit, as after
internal discussions we concluded to be problematic to both implement
and use correctly.
with field_ptr_load and field_ptr_named_load.
These avoid doing by-val load operations for structs that are
runtime-known while keeping the previous semantics for comptime-known
values.
Call start/endBlock before/after `parseBlockInfoBlock` in order to not
use the current block context, which is wrong and leads to e.g. incorrect
abbrevlen being used.
This "get" is useless noise and was copied from FixedBufferWriter.
Since this API has not yet landed in a release, now is a good time
to make the breaking change to fix this.
The functions `Compilation.create` and `Compilation.update` previously
returned inferred error sets, which had built up a lot of crap over
time. This meant that certain error conditions -- particularly certain
filesystem errors -- were not being reported properly (at best the CLI
would just print the error name). This was also a problem in
sub-compilations, where at times only the error name -- which might just
be something like `LinkFailed` -- would be visible.
This commit makes the error handling here more disciplined by
introducing concrete error sets to these functions (and a few more as a
consequence). These error sets are small: errors in `update` are almost
all reported via compile errors, and errors in `create` are reported
through a new `Compilation.CreateDiagnostic` type, a tagged union of
possible error cases. This allows for better error reporting.
Sub-compilations also report errors more correctly in several cases,
leading to more informative errors in the case of compiler bugs.
Also fixes some race conditions in library building by replacing calls
to `setMiscFailure` with calls to `lockAndSetMiscFailure`. Compilation
of libraries such as libc happens on the thread pool, so the logic must
synchronize its access to shared `Compilation` state.
If both are used, 'else' handles named members and '_' handles
unnamed members. In this case the 'else' prong will be unrolled
to an explicit case containing all remaining named values.
Mainly affects ZIR representation of switch_block[_ref]
and special prong (detection) logic for switch.
Adds a new SpecialProng tag 'absorbing_under' that allows
specifying additional explicit tags in a '_' prong which
are respected when checking that every value is handled
during semantic analysis but are not transformed into AIR
and instead 'absorbed' by the '_' branch.
This commit replaces the "fuzzer" UI, previously accessed with the
`--fuzz` and `--port` flags, with a more interesting web UI which allows
more interactions with the Zig build system. Most notably, it allows
accessing the data emitted by a new "time report" system, which allows
users to see which parts of Zig programs take the longest to compile.
The option to expose the web UI is `--webui`. By default, it will listen
on `[::1]` on a random port, but any IPv6 or IPv4 address can be
specified with e.g. `--webui=[::1]:8000` or `--webui=127.0.0.1:8000`.
The options `--fuzz` and `--time-report` both imply `--webui` if not
given. Currently, `--webui` is incompatible with `--watch`; specifying
both will cause `zig build` to exit with a fatal error.
When the web UI is enabled, the build runner spawns the web server as
soon as the configure phase completes. The frontend code consists of one
HTML file, one JavaScript file, two CSS files, and a few Zig source
files which are built into a WASM blob on-demand -- this is all very
similar to the old fuzzer UI. Also inherited from the fuzzer UI is that
the build system communicates with web clients over a WebSocket
connection.
When the build finishes, if `--webui` was passed (i.e. if the web server
is running), the build runner does not terminate; it continues running
to serve web requests, allowing interactive control of the build system.
In the web interface is an overall "status" indicating whether a build
is currently running, and also a list of all steps in this build. There
are visual indicators (colors and spinners) for in-progress, succeeded,
and failed steps. There is a "Rebuild" button which will cause the build
system to reset the state of every step (note that this does not affect
caching) and evaluate the step graph again.
If `--time-report` is passed to `zig build`, a new section of the
interface becomes visible, which associates every build step with a
"time report". For most steps, this is just a simple "time taken" value.
However, for `Compile` steps, the compiler communicates with the build
system to provide it with much more interesting information: time taken
for various pipeline phases, with a per-declaration and per-file
breakdown, sorted by slowest declarations/files first. This feature is
still in its early stages: the data can be a little tricky to
understand, and there is no way to, for instance, sort by different
properties, or filter to certain files. However, it has already given us
some interesting statistics, and can be useful for spotting, for
instance, particularly complex and slow compile-time logic.
Additionally, if a compilation uses LLVM, its time report includes the
"LLVM pass timing" information, which was previously accessible with the
(now removed) `-ftime-report` compiler flag.
To make time reports more useful, ZIR and compilation caches are ignored
by the Zig compiler when they are enabled -- in other words, `Compile`
steps *always* run, even if their result should be cached. This means
that the flag can be used to analyze a project's compile time without
having to repeatedly clear cache directory, for instance. However, when
using `-fincremental`, updates other than the first will only show you
the statistics for what changed on that particular update. Notably, this
gives us a fairly nice way to see exactly which declarations were
re-analyzed by an incremental update.
If `--fuzz` is passed to `zig build`, another section of the web
interface becomes visible, this time exposing the fuzzer. This is quite
similar to the fuzzer UI this commit replaces, with only a few cosmetic
tweaks. The interface is closer than before to supporting multiple fuzz
steps at a time (in line with the overall strategy for this build UI,
the goal will be for all of the fuzz steps to be accessible in the same
interface), but still doesn't actually support it. The fuzzer UI looks
quite different under the hood: as a result, various bugs are fixed,
although other bugs remain. For instance, viewing the source code of any
file other than the root of the main module is completely broken (as on
master) due to some bogus file-to-module assignment logic in the fuzzer
UI.
Implementation notes:
* The `lib/build-web/` directory holds the client side of the web UI.
* The general server logic is in `std.Build.WebServer`.
* Fuzzing-specific logic is in `std.Build.Fuzz`.
* `std.Build.abi` is the new home of `std.Build.Fuzz.abi`, since it now
relates to the build system web UI in general.
* The build runner now has an **actual** general-purpose allocator,
because thanks to `--watch` and `--webui`, the process can be
arbitrarily long-lived. The gpa is `std.heap.DebugAllocator`, but the
arena remains backed by `std.heap.page_allocator` for efficiency. I
fixed several crashes caused by conflation of `gpa` and `arena` in the
build runner and `std.Build`, but there may still be some I have
missed.
* The I/O logic in `std.Build.WebServer` is pretty gnarly; there are a
*lot* of threads involved. I anticipate this situation improving
significantly once the `std.Io` interface (with concurrency support)
is introduced.
