Previously, stepping from the single statement within the loop would
always exit the loop because all of the code unrolled from the loop is
associated with the same line and treated by the debugger as one line.
This is necessary since isGnuLibC() is true for hurd, so we need to be able to
represent a glibc version for it.
Also add an Os.TaggedVersionRange.gnuLibCVersion() convenience function.
The old isARM() function was a portability trap. With the name it had, it seemed
like the obviously correct function to use, but it didn't include Thumb. In the
vast majority of cases where someone wants to ask "is the target Arm?", Thumb
*should* be included.
There are exactly 3 cases in the codebase where we do actually need to exclude
Thumb, although one of those is in Aro and mirrors a check in Clang that is
itself likely a bug. These rare cases can just add an extra isThumb() check.
Once we upgrade to LLVM 20, these should be lowered verbatim rather than to
simply musl. Similarly, the special case in llvmMachineAbi() should go away.
This commit reworks how anonymous struct literals and tuples work.
Previously, an untyped anonymous struct literal
(e.g. `const x = .{ .a = 123 }`) was given an "anonymous struct type",
which is a special kind of struct which coerces using structural
equivalence. This mechanism was a holdover from before we used
RLS / result types as the primary mechanism of type inference. This
commit changes the language so that the type assigned here is a "normal"
struct type. It uses a form of equivalence based on the AST node and the
type's structure, much like a reified (`@Type`) type.
Additionally, tuples have been simplified. The distinction between
"simple" and "complex" tuple types is eliminated. All tuples, even those
explicitly declared using `struct { ... }` syntax, use structural
equivalence, and do not undergo staged type resolution. Tuples are very
restricted: they cannot have non-`auto` layouts, cannot have aligned
fields, and cannot have default values with the exception of `comptime`
fields. Tuples currently do not have optimized layout, but this can be
changed in the future.
This change simplifies the language, and fixes some problematic
coercions through pointers which led to unintuitive behavior.
Resolves: #16865
Since we exclude Abi.none from the list of ABIs to be tested, it means that
Abi.gnu, which happens to be the first in the list, always gets picked for hosts
where the dynamic linker path does not depend on the ABI component of the
triple. Such hosts include all the BSDs, Haiku, Serenity, Solaris, etc.
To fix this, use DynamicLinker.kind() to determine whether this whole exercise
even makes sense. If it doesn't, as is the case on every OS other than Linux and
Hurd, we'll just fall back to Abi.default() which will try to pick a sensible
default based on the arch and OS components. This detection logic still has
plenty of room for improvement, but is at least a notable step up from
confusingly detecting Abi.gnu ~everywhere.
Closes#9089.
hasDynamicLinker() was just kind of lying in the case of Darwin platforms for
the benefit of std.zig.system.detectAbiAndDynamicLinker(). A better name would
have been hasElfDynamicLinker() or something. It also got the answer wrong for a
bunch of platforms that don't actually use ELF. Anyway, this was clearly the
wrong layer to do this at, so remove this function and instead use
DynamicLinker.kind() + an isDarwin() check in detectAbiAndDynamicLinker().
This commit finishes implementing #21209 by removing the
`@setAlignStack` builtin in favour of `CallingConvention` payloads. The
x86_64 backend is updated to use the stack alignment given in the
calling convention (the LLVM backend was already updated in a previous
commit).
Resolves: #21209
These are really answering questions about the Zig compiler's capacity to
provide a libc/libc++ implementation. As such, std.zig.target seems like a more
fitting place for these.
Embrace the Path abstraction, doing more operations based on directory
handles rather than absolute file paths. Most of the diff noise here
comes from this one.
Fix sorting of crtbegin/crtend atoms. Previously it would look at all
path components for those strings.
Make the C runtime path detection partially a pure function, and move
some logic to glibc.zig where it belongs.
This works around the fact that LLVM and LLD both have broken support for the
small data area, yet the feature is on by default for all Hexagon CPUs.
I want to eventually replace this hack with a flag in update_cpu_features.zig
for marking features that should always be off by default and not be accessible
to users. That way, the compiler will have full control over them.
* Added error message 'ProcessNotFound' for reading and writing in a Linux
process.
This error occurs if the process to be read from or written to no longer exists.
Fixes#19875
* Added error message "ProcessNotFound" for error forwarding.
* Add error messgae for forwarding.
* Added message for forwarding.
* Error set completed.
* Fixed format error.
* Changed comments to doc comments.
Abi.android on its own is not enough to know whether soft float or hard float
should be used. In the C world, androideabi is typically used for the soft float
case, so let's go with that.
Note that Android doesn't have a hard float ABI, so no androideabihf.
Closes#21488.

Since we never hooked up the (experimental) DirectX LLVM backend, we've never
actually supported targeting DXIL in Zig. With Microsoft moving away from DXIL,
that seems very unlikely to change.
