Previously, updating the `SYS` enum for each architecture required
manually looking at the syscall tables and inserting any new additions.
This commit adds a tool, `generate_linux_syscalls.zig`, that automates
this process using the syscall tables in the Linux source tree. On
architectures without a table, it runs `zig cc` as a pre-processor to
extract the system-call numbers from the Linux headers.
* os/linux/io_uring: add recvmsg and sendmsg
* Use std.os.iovec and std.os.iovec_const
* Remove msg_ prefix in msghdr and msghdr_const in arm64 etc
* Strip msg_ prefix in msghdr and msghdr_const for linux arm-eabi
* Copy msghdr and msghdr_const from i386 to mips
* Add sockaddr to lib/std/os/linux/mips.zig
* Copy msghdr and msghdr_const from x86_64 to riscv64
I incorrectly assumed that __kernel_timespec was used when not linking
libc, however that is not the case. `std.os.timespec` is used both for
libc and non-libc cases. `__kernel_timespec` is a special struct that is
used only for io_uring.
Tests with no names are executed when using `zig test` regardless of the
`--test-filter` used. Non-named tests should be used when simply
importing unit tests from another file. This allows `zig test` to find
all the appropriate tests, even when using `--test-filter`.
* std lib tests are passing on x86_64-linux with and without -lc
* stage2 is building from source on x86_64-linux
* down to 38 remaining uses of `usingnamespace`
The main purpose of this branch is to explore avoiding the
`usingnamespace` feature of the zig language, specifically with regards
to `std.os` and related functionality.
If this experiment is successful, it will provide a data point on
whether or not it would be practical to entirely remove `usingnamespace`
from the language.
In this commit, `usingnamespace` has been completely eliminated from
the Linux x86_64 compilation path, aside from io_uring.
The behavior tests pass, however that's as far as this branch goes. It is
very breaking, and a lot more work is needed before it could be
considered mergeable. I wanted to put a pull requset up early so that
zig programmers have time to provide feedback.
This is progress towards closing #6600 since it clarifies where the
actual "owner" of each declaration is, and reduces the number of
different ways to import the same declarations.
One of the main organizational strategies used here is to do namespacing
with real namespaces (e.g. structs) rather than by having declarations
share a common prefix (the C strategy). It's no coincidence that
`usingnamespace` has similar semantics to `#include` and becomes much
less necessary when using proper namespaces.
fork() on Linux/sparc64 seems to return its result in two registers,
with %o0 always holding the current process' PID, and the parent/child
status returned in %o1. Add some glue code to convert those into
the libc-style return value.
There's no guarantee for the kernel definition to be ABI compatible with
the libc one (and vice versa).
There's also no guarantee of ABI compatibility between musl/glibc.
Fun, isn't it?
