The only known use case for this is the hash-to-curve operation where the top bit is always cleared.
But the function is public, so let's make it work as one would expect in the general case.
Also fix the comment by the way.
c_void is *not* simply `const c_void = opaque{};`. It has unique
semantics as any pointer type may coerce to `*c_void` which is not true
for an arbitrary `*opaque{}`.
Previously the fd parameter was ignored and so the result would not get
populated. Now it passes the fd pointer to the inline assembly so that
the results can be observed.
This new option sets a default libc paths file to be used for all
LibExeObjSteps. Setting LibExeObjStep.libc_file overrides this default.
This is required to allow users to cross compile projects linking system
libraries without needing to patch the build.zig.
Previous to #7082, users could overwrite PATH_MAX in the root file to support std.os.toPosixPath, permitting the "bring your own operating system" layer to implement the POSIX API for opening files. Unfortunately that is no longer the case.
This commit intends to fix what is arguably a regression from 0.7 in a way that doesn't break any code targeting 0.8.0, making it suitable to be included in a 0.8 patch release.
However in a future release that permits breaking changes, I am of the opinion that it would be beneficial to overwrite the value, even for "supported" operating systems. Same for all the other POSIX/BYOOS functions and values. However this is beyond the scope of this commit. Further discussion of this will be made into an issue in due time.
* Avoid emitting the copy_file_range symbol at all to prevent link-time
errors.
* Fix a bug in the check logic, the has_copy_file_range_syscall was
set to the wrong value in case of ENOSYS
* If link_libc is true don't fall-back to the raw syscall approach,
there's no policy about what to do in this case but let's follow what
the other impls do.
Fixes#9146
`return` statements use a new function `nodeMayEvalToError` which does
some basic checks on the AST node to return never, always, or maybe.
Depending on this result, AstGen skips the errdefers, always includes
the errdefers, or emits a conditional branch to check whether the return
value is an error that Sema will have to evaluate.
Closes#8821
Unblocks #9047
Handle linker args joined with a = like -Wl,-rpath=foo
Update existing args --major-os-version, --minor-os-version,
--major-subsystem-version and --minor-subsytem-version to work with the
new parsing.
Also handle -Wl,--script in addition to -Wl,-T
Lakemont has no x86, no MMX, no SSE and no way of handling any fp-math. In theory LLVM is able to implicitly use the soft-float emulation library calls to legalize any such operation but, given Zig's use of many non-standard features, sometimes we hit a weak spot in the X86 codegen backend.
Consider this as a work-around for this LLVM problem, fixing the problem in LLVM is not so high in my todo list as the target is pretty niche and Intel axed it in '19.

NetBSD expects 2 PT_LOAD segments in a shared object, otherwise
ld.elf_so fails to load, emitting a general "not found" error.
Workaround issue by adding args `--no-rosegment` and `-znorelro`.
see #9109
Previously, Zig did not properly communicate the target CPU features for
RISC-V to clang assembler, because Clang has a different way to pass CPU
features for C code and for assembly code. This commit makes Zig pass a
RISC-V -march flag in order to communicate CPU features to Clang when
compiling assembly files.
