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.
* Eliminate all uses of `std.debug.print` in make() functions, instead
properly using the step failure reporting mechanism.
* Introduce the concept of skipped build steps. These do not cause the
build to fail, and they do allow their dependants to run.
* RunStep gains a new flag, `skip_foreign_checks` which causes the
RunStep to be skipped if stdio mode is `check` and the binary cannot
be executed due to it being a foreign executable.
- RunStep is improved to automatically use known interpreters to
execute binaries if possible (integrating with flags such as
-fqemu and -fwasmtime). It only does this after attempting a native
execution and receiving a "exec file format" error.
- Update RunStep to use an ArrayList for the checks rather than this
ad-hoc reallocation/copying mechanism.
- `expectStdOutEqual` now also implicitly adds an exit_code==0 check
if there is not already an expected termination. This matches
previously expected behavior from older API and can be overridden by
directly setting the checks array.
* Add `dest_sub_path` to `InstallArtifactStep` which allows choosing an
arbitrary subdirectory relative to the prefix, as well as overriding
the basename.
- Delete the custom InstallWithRename step that I found deep in the
test/ directory.
* WriteFileStep will now update its step display name after the first
file is added.
* Add missing stdout checks to various standalone test case build
scripts.
* Sema: implement linksection on functions
* Implement function linksection in Sema.
* Don't clobber function linksection/align/addrspace in Sema.
* Fix copy-paste typo in tests.
* Add a bunch of missing test_step.dependOn.
* Fix checkInSymtab match.
