* introduce LazyPath.cwd_relative variant and use it for --zig-lib-dir. closes#12685
* move overrideZigLibDir and setMainPkgPath to options fields set once
and then never mutated.
* avoid introducing Build/util.zig
* use doc comments for deprecation notices so that they show up in
generated documentation.
* introduce InstallArtifact.Options, accept it as a parameter to
addInstallArtifact, and move override_dest_dir into it. Instead of
configuring the installation via Compile step, configure the
installation via the InstallArtifact step. In retrospect this is
obvious.
* remove calls to pushInstalledFile in InstallArtifact. See #14943
* rewrite InstallArtifact to not incorrectly observe whether a Compile
step has any generated outputs. InstallArtifact is meant to trigger
output generation.
* fix child process evaluation code handling of `-fno-emit-bin`.
* don't store out_h_filename, out_ll_filename, etc., pointlessly. these
are all just simple extensions appended to the root name.
* make emit_directory optional. It's possible to have nothing outputted,
for example, if you're just type-checking.
* avoid passing -femit-foo/-fno-emit-foo when it is the default
* rename ConfigHeader.getTemplate to getOutput
* deprecate addOptionArtifact
* update the random number seed of Options step caching.
* avoid using `inline for` pointlessly
* avoid using `override_Dest_dir` pointlessly
* avoid emitting an executable pointlessly in test cases
Removes forceBuild and forceEmit. Let's consider these additions separately.
Nearly all of the usage sites were suspicious.
Specifically this is to make sure llvm data layout generation doesn't
regress. The no emit bin is to allow testing targets that can't
currently be linked. The commented out targets are ones that fail in
the linker anyway when no emit bin is passed.
The runCases function incorrectly called the introspect.findZigLibDir
function, causing a possible error, depending on the location of the
local cache directory, since the current executable is check-case.
Use findZigLibDirFromSelfExe, passing the zig_exe_path argument.
The current CI scripts work correctly because ZIG_LOCAL_CACHE_DIR is set
to "$(pwd)/zig-local-cache".
Fixes#15044
These were failing on the prior commit. Unfortunately, the fix would
have been relatively complicated, and ties into underlying issues with
the current incremental compilation logic. After discussing this with
Andrew, we agreed that the best course of action is to completely
disable incremental compilation tests for now until it's more mature, at
which point we can re-enable them.
Also get rid of the TTY wrapper struct, which was exlusively used as a
namespace - this is done by the tty.zig root struct now.
detectTTYConfig has been renamed to just detectConfig, which is enough
given the new namespace. Additionally, a doc comment had been added.
These functions are problematic in light of dependencies because they
run and install, respectively, for the *owner* package rather than for
the *user* package. By removing these functions, the build script is
forced to provide the *Build object to associate the new step with,
making everything less surprising.
Unfortunately, this is a widely breaking change.
see #15079
std.Build.addTest creates a CompileStep as before, however, this kind of
step no longer actually runs the unit tests. Instead it only compiles
it, and one must additionally create a RunStep from the CompileStep in
order to actually run the tests.
RunStep gains integration with the default test runner, which now
supports the standard --listen=- argument in order to communicate over
stdin and stdout. It also reports test statistics; how many passed,
failed, and leaked, as well as directly associating the relevant stderr
with the particular test name that failed.
This separation of CompileStep and RunStep means that
`CompileStep.Kind.test_exe` is no longer needed, and therefore has been
removed in this commit.
* build runner: show unit test statistics in build summary
* added Step.writeManifest since many steps want to treat it as a
warning and emit the same message if it fails.
* RunStep: fixed error message that prints the failed command printing
the original argv and not the adjusted argv in case an interpreter
was used.
* RunStep: fixed not passing the command line arguments to the
interpreter.
* move src/Server.zig to std.zig.Server so that the default test runner
can use it.
* the simpler test runner function which is used by work-in-progress
backends now no longer prints to stderr, which is necessary in order
for the build runner to not print the stderr as a warning message.
Instead of using `zig test` to build a special version of the compiler
that runs all the test-cases, the zig build system is now used as much
as possible - all with the basic steps found in the standard library.
For incremental compilation tests (the ones that look like foo.0.zig,
foo.1.zig, foo.2.zig, etc.), a special version of the compiler is
compiled into a utility executable called "check-case" which checks
exactly one sequence of incremental updates in an independent
subprocess. Previously, all incremental and non-incremental test cases
were done in the same test runner process.
The compile error checking code is now simpler, but also a bit
rudimentary, and so it additionally makes sure that the actual compile
errors do not include *extra* messages, and it makes sure that the
actual compile errors output in the same order as expected. It is also
based on the "ends-with" property of each line rather than the previous
logic, which frankly I didn't want to touch with a ten-meter pole. The
compile error test cases have been updated to pass in light of these
differences.
Previously, 'error' mode with 0 compile errors was used to shoehorn in a
different kind of test-case - one that only checks if a piece of code
compiles without errors. Now there is a 'compile' mode of test-cases,
and 'error' must be only used when there are greater than 0 errors.
link test cases are updated to omit the target object format argument
when calling checkObject since that is no longer needed.
The test/stage2 directory is removed; the 2 files within are moved to be
directly in the test/ directory.
* RunStep: ability to set stdin
* RunStep: ability to capture stdout and stderr as a FileSource
* RunStep: add setName method
* RunStep: hash the stdio checks
Rework std.Build.Step to have an `owner: *Build` field. This
simplified the implementation of installation steps, as well as provided
some much-needed common API for the new parallelized build system.
--verbose is now defined very concretely: it prints to stderr just
before spawning a child process.
Child process execution is updated to conform to the new
parallel-friendly make() function semantics.
DRY up the failWithCacheError handling code. It now integrates properly
with the step graph instead of incorrectly dumping to stderr and calling
process exit.
In the main CLI, fix `zig fmt` crash when there are no errors and stdin
is used.
Deleted steps:
* EmulatableRunStep - this entire thing can be removed in favor of a
flag added to std.Build.RunStep called `skip_foreign_checks`.
* LogStep - this doesn't really fit with a multi-threaded build runner
and is effectively superseded by the new build summary output.
build runner:
* add -fsummary and -fno-summary to override the default behavior,
which is to print a summary if any of the build steps fail.
* print the dep prefix when emitting error messages for steps.
std.Build.FmtStep:
* This step now supports exclude paths as well as a check flag.
* The check flag decides between two modes, modify mode, and check
mode. These can be used to update source files in place, or to fail
the build, respectively.
Zig's own build.zig:
* The `test-fmt` step will do all the `zig fmt` checking that we expect
to be done. Since the `test` step depends on this one, we can simply
remove the explicit call to `zig fmt` in the CI.
* The new `fmt` step will actually perform `zig fmt` and update source
files in place.
std.Build.RunStep:
* expose max_stdio_size is a field (previously an unchangeable
hard-coded value).
* rework the API. Instead of configuring each stream independently,
there is a `stdio` field where you can choose between
`infer_from_args`, `inherit`, or `check`. These determine whether the
RunStep is considered to have side-effects or not. The previous
field, `condition` is gone.
* when stdio mode is set to `check` there is a slice of any number of
checks to make, which include things like exit code, stderr matching,
or stdout matching.
* remove the ill-defined `print` field.
* when adding an output arg, it takes the opportunity to give itself a
better name.
* The flag `skip_foreign_checks` is added. If this is true, a RunStep
which is configured to check the output of the executed binary will
not fail the build if the binary cannot be executed due to being for
a foreign binary to the host system which is running the build graph.
Command-line arguments such as -fqemu and -fwasmtime may affect
whether a binary is detected as foreign, as well as system
configuration such as Rosetta (macOS) and binfmt_misc (Linux).
- This makes EmulatableRunStep no longer needed.
* Fix the child process handling to properly integrate with the new
bulid API and to avoid deadlocks in stdout/stderr streams by polling
if necessary.
std.Build.RemoveDirStep now uses the open build_root directory handle
instead of an absolute path.
Zig now supports a more fine-grained sense of what is native and what is
not. Some examples:
This is now allowed:
-target native
Different OS but native CPU, default Windows C ABI:
-target native-windows
This could be useful for example when running in Wine.
Different CPU but native OS, native C ABI.
-target x86_64-native -mcpu=skylake
Different C ABI but otherwise native target:
-target native-native-musl
-target native-native-gnu
Lots of breaking changes to related std lib APIs.
Calls to getOs() will need to be changed to getOsTag().
Calls to getArch() will need to be changed to getCpuArch().
Usage of Target.Cross and Target.Native need to be updated to use
CrossTarget API.
`std.build.Builder.standardTargetOptions` is changed to accept its
parameters as a struct with default values. It now has the ability to
specify a whitelist of targets allowed, as well as the default target.
Rather than two different ways of collecting the target, it's now always
a string that is validated, and prints helpful diagnostics for invalid
targets. This feature should now be actually useful, and contributions
welcome to further improve the user experience.
`std.build.LibExeObjStep.setTheTarget` is removed.
`std.build.LibExeObjStep.setTarget` is updated to take a CrossTarget
parameter.
`std.build.LibExeObjStep.setTargetGLibC` is removed. glibc versions are
handled in the CrossTarget API and can be specified with the `-target`
triple.
`std.builtin.Version` gains a `format` method.
