An embedded manifest file is really just XML data embedded as a RT_MANIFEST resource (ID = 24). Typically, the Windows-only 'Manifest Tool' (`mt.exe`) is used to embed manifest files, and `mt.exe` also seems to perform some transformation of the manifest data before embedding, but in testing it doesn't seem like the transformations are necessary to get the intended result.
So, to handle embedding manifest files, Zig now takes the following approach:
- Generate a .rc file with the contents `1 24 "path-to-manifest.manifest"`
- Compile that generated .rc file into a .res file
- Link the .res file into the final binary
This effectively achieves the same thing as `mt.exe` minus the validation/transformations of the XML data that it performs.
How this is used:
On the command line:
```
zig build-exe main.zig main.manifest
```
(on the command line, specifying a .manifest file when the target object format is not COFF is an error)
or in build.zig:
```
const exe = b.addExecutable(.{
.name = "manifest-test",
.root_source_file = .{ .path = "main.zig" },
.target = target,
.optimize = optimize,
.win32_manifest = .{ .path = "main.manifest" },
});
```
(in build.zig, the manifest file is ignored if the target object format is not COFF)
Note: Currently, only one manifest file can be specified per compilation. This is because the ID of the manifest resource is currently always 1. Specifying multiple manifests could be supported if a way for the user to specify an ID for each manifest is added (manifest IDs must be a u16).

These are tripping on 32-bit x86 but are intended to prevent glibc
itself from being built with a bad configuration. Zig is only using this
file to create libc_nonshared.a, so it's not relevant.
This is the only place in all of glibc that this macro is referenced.
What is it doing? Only preventing fstatat.c from knowing the type
definition of `__time64_t`, apparently.
Fixes compilation of fstatat.c on 32-bit x86.
I could have just included the file from upstream glibc, but it was too
silly so I just inlined it. This patch could be dropped in a future
glibc update if desired. If omitted it will cause easily solvable
C compilation failures building glibc nonshared.
- `fcntl` was renamed to `fcntl64` in glibc 2.28 (see #9485)
- `res_{,n}{search,query,querydomain}` became "their own" symbols since
glibc 2.34: they were prefixed with `__` before.
This PR makes it possible to use `fcntl` with glibc 2.27 or older and
the `res_*` functions with glibc 2.33 or older.
These patches will become redundant with universal-headers and can be
dropped. But we have to do with what we have now.
This is a patch to glibc features.h which makes
_DYNAMIC_STACK_SIZE_SOURCE undefined unless the version is >= 2.34.
This feature was introduced with glibc 2.34 and without this patch, code
built against these headers but then run on an older glibc will end up
making a call to sysconf() that returns -1 for the value of SIGSTKSZ
and MINSIGSTKSZ.
The previous code incorrectly added `sub_path` twice.
Also for the compilation unit, it was passing empty string to realpath,
resulting in the error handling codepath being used.

When analyzing the `validate_ref_ty` ZIR instruction, an assertion would
trip if the result type was a var args function argument. The fix is the
same as e6b73be870a39f4da7a08a40da23e38b5e9613da - inline the logic of
`resolveType` and handle the case of var args.
Closes#17494
When analyzing the `as` ZIR instruction, an assertion would trip if the
result type was a var args function argument. The fix is simple: inline
a little bit of the `resolveType` logic into `analyzeAs` to make it
detect this situation - which it was already attempting to do.
Closes#16197
SPARCs have delayed branches, that is, it will unconditionally
run the next instruction following a branch.
Slightly reorder the _start code sequence to prevent it from
accidentally executing stray instructions, which may result in odd
program behavior.
This makes tmp_directory close before calling renameTmpIntoCache which fixes occurences of those AccessDenied errors that aren't synonymous with PathAlreadyExists on Windows
