This will enable code to perform version checks and make it easier to
support multiple versions of Zig.
Within the SemVer implementation, an intermediate value needed to be
coerced to a slice to workaround a comptime bug.
Closes#6466
Zig's format system is flexible enough to add custom formatters. This PR removes the new z/Z format specifiers that were added for printing Zig identifiers and replaces them with custom formatters.
* std.ArrayList gains `moveToUnmanaged` and dead code
`ArrayListUnmanaged.appendWrite` is deleted.
* emit_h state is attached to Module rather than Compilation.
* remove the implementation of emit-h because it did not properly
integrate with incremental compilation. I will re-implement it
in a follow-up commit.
* Compilation: use the .codegen_failure tag rather than
.dependency_failure tag for when `bin_file.updateDecl` fails.
C backend:
* Use a CValue tagged union instead of strings for C values.
* Cleanly separate state into Object and DeclGen:
- Object is present only when generating a .c file
- DeclGen is present for both generating a .c and .h
* Move some functions into their respective Object/DeclGen namespace.
* Forward decls are managed by the incremental compilation frontend; C
backend no longer renders function signatures based on callsites.
For simplicity, all functions always get forward decls.
* Constants are managed by the incremental compilation frontend. C
backend no longer has a "constants" section.
* Participate in incremental compilation. Each Decl gets an ArrayList
for its generated C code and it is updated when the Decl is updated.
During flush(), all these are joined together in the output file.
* The new CValue tagged union is used to clean up using of assigning to
locals without an additional pointer local.
* Fix bug with bitcast of non-pointers making the memcpy destination
immutable.
In strictly conforming C, identifiers cannot container dollar signs.
However GCC and Clang allow them by default, so translate-c should
handle them. See http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/cpp/Tokenization.html
I encountered this in the wild in windows.h
Fixes#7585
This broke build scripts that wanted to refer to `exe_dir` or
`install_path`.
There has also been some pushback and discussion on this breaking
change. I think it should be re-evaluated.
This reverts commit a1a1929cf4ff979bdaba17f858d4ce8647e87a65.
This code is adapted from pixelherodev paste from IRC
I have added a new fmt option to handle printing slice values ``{v}`` or ``{V}``
While i think it can be made the default, i want your opinion about it
```zig
var slicea = [0]u32{};
var sliceb = [3]u32{ 1, 2, 3 };
std.log.info("Content: {v}", .{slicea});
std.log.info("Content: {v}", .{sliceb});
```
will print:
```
info: Content: []
info: Content: [1, 2, 3]
```
Question:
Should we drop ``{v}`` and make it the default behavior?
