* introduce --disable-pic option which can generally be allowed to be
the default. compiler_rt.a and builtin.a get this option when you
build a static executable.
* compiler_rt and builtin libraries are not built for build-lib
--static
* posix_spawn instead of fork/execv
* disable the error limit on LLD. Fixes the blank lines printed
This will make it easier to do things like `zig help | grep something`.
Invalid arguments will now display a short notice for `zig help`
instead of showing the full usage information. This will make it easier
to see the actual error.
init-lib creates a working static library with tests, and
init-exe creates a working hello world with a `run` target.
both now have test coverage with the new "cli tests" file.
closes#1035
we need somewhere to put .o files and leave them while the user
executes their program, so that stack traces on MacOS can find
the .o files and get at the DWARF info.
if we try to clean up old global tmp dir files, first of all that's
a hard and complicated problem, and secondly it's not clear how
that is better than dumping the .o file inside zig-cache locally.
* add almost all the input parameter state to the hash
- missing items are the detected MSVC installation on Windows
and detected libc installation on POSIX
- also missing are C files and .h files that libclang finds
* artifacts are created in global cache directory instead of
zig-cache.
- exception: builtin.zig is still in zig-cache
* zig run uses the new cache correctly
* zig run uses execv on posix systems
* introduce std.atomic.Int
* add src-self-hosted/test.zig which is tested by the main test suite
- it fully utilizes the multithreaded async/await event loop so the
tests should Go Fast
* `stage2/bin/zig build-obj test.zig` is able to spit out an error if 2 exported
functions collide
* ability for `zig test` to accept `--object` and `--assembly`
arguments
* std.build: TestStep supports addLibPath and addObjectFile
Support the `--emit` switch in `zig --emit asm test file.zig`.
The command fails because no tests run (no executable is created) but
it emits the requested file. That seems like a good tradeoff.
LLVM destroys the string that we use to test if LLVM deleted the
inlined function.
Also fixed forgetting to initialize a buffer in std lib path detection.
'zig run file.zig' builds a file and stores the artifacts in the global
cache. On successful compilation the binary is executed.
'zig run file.zig -- a b c' does the same, but passes the arguments a,
b and c as runtime arguments to the program. Everything after an '--' are
treated as runtime arguments.
On a posix system, a shebang can be used to run a zig file directly. An
example shebang would be '#!/usr/bin/zig run'. You may not be able pass
extra compile arguments currently as part of the shebang. Linux for example
treats all arguments after the first as a single argument which will result
in an 'invalid command'.
Currently there is no customisability for the cache path as a compile
argument. For a posix system you can use `TMPDIR=. zig run file.zig` to
override, in this case using the current directory for the run cache.
The input file is always recompiled, even if it has changed. This is
intended to be cached but further discussion/thought needs to go into
this.
Closes#466.
this removes the following configure options:
* ZIG_LIBC_LIB_DIR
* ZIG_LIBC_STATIC_LIB_DIR
* ZIG_LIBC_INCLUDE_DIR
* ZIG_DYNAMIC_LINKER
* ZIG_EACH_LIB_RPATH
* zig's reliance on CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX
these options are still available as command line options, however,
the default will attempt to execute the system's C compiler to
collect system defaults for these values.
closes#870
I started working on #465 and made some corresponding std.io
API changes.
New structs:
* std.io.FileInStream
* std.io.FileOutStream
* std.io.BufferedOutStream
* std.io.BufferedInStream
Removed:
* std.io.File.in_stream
* std.io.File.out_stream
Now instead of &file.out_stream or &file.in_stream to get access to
the stream API for a file, you get it like this:
var file_in_stream = io.FileInStream.init(&file);
const in_stream = &file_in_stream.stream;
var file_out_stream = io.FileOutStream.init(&file);
const out_stream = &file_out_stream.stream;
This is evidence that we might not need any OOP features -
See #130.

Fixes: #517
I added a few things to allow zig to link with the CRT properly both statically and dynamically. In Visual Studio 2017, Microsoft changed how the c-runtime is factored again. With this change, they also added a COM interface to allow you to query the respective Visual Studio instance for two of them. This does that and also falls back on a registry query for 2015 support. If you're using a Visual Studio instance older than 2015, you'll have to use the existing options available with the zig compiler. Changes are listed below along with a general description of the changes.
all_types.cpp:
The separate variables for msvc/kern32 have been removed and all win32 libc directory paths have been combined into a ZigList since we're querying more than two directories and differentiating one from another doesn't matter to lld.
analyze.cpp:
The existing functions were extended to support querying libc libs & libc headers at runtime.
codegen.cpp/hpp:
Microsoft uses the new 'Universal C Runtime' name now. Doesn't matter from a functionality standpoint. I left the compiler switches as is to not introduce any breaking changes.
link.cpp:
We're linking 4 libs and generating another in order to support the UCRT.
Dynamic: msvcrt/d, vcruntime/d, ucrt/d, legacy_stdio_definitions.lib
Static: libcmt/d, libvcruntime/d libucrt/d, legacy_stdio_definitions.lib
main.cpp:
Update function call names.
os.cpp/hpp:
COM/Registry interface for querying Windows UCRT/SDK.
