Deprecate CompileStep.run. The problem with this function is that it
does the RunStep with the same build.zig context as the CompileStep, but
this is not desirable when running an executable that is provided by a
dependency package. Instead, users should use `b.addRunArtifact`.
This has the additional benefit of conforming to the existing naming
conventions.
Additionally, support enum literals in config header options values.
Ascon has been selected as new standard for lightweight cryptography
in the NIST Lightweight Cryptography competition.
Ascon won over Gimli and Xoodoo.
The permutation is unlikely to change. However, NIST may tweak
the constructions (XOF, hash, authenticated encryption) before
standardizing them. For that reason, implementations of those
are better maintained outside the standard library for now.
In fact, we already had an Ascon implementation in Zig:
`std.crypto.aead.isap` is based on it. While the implementation was
here, there was no public API to access it directly.
So:
- The Ascon permutation is now available as `std.crypto.core.Ascon`,
with everything needed to use it in AEADs and other Ascon-based
constructions
- The ISAP implementation now uses std.crypto.core.Ascon instead of
keeping a private copy
- The default CSPRNG replaces Xoodoo with Ascon. And instead of an
ad-hoc construction, it's using the XOFa mode of the NIST submission.
This reverts commit abc9530a88d24350481d9264edcde300f293929a.
This patch implies that the idiomatic Zig way of handling anytype
parameter is to write a bunch of boilerplate instead of directly
accessing type information and relying on the compiler to be useful.
I don't want it to be this way.
It is the compiler's job to make useful error messages when the wrong
field of a type info result is accessed, and it is the zig programmer's
job to understand what it means when a compile error points at the field
access of `@typeInfo` (along with the relevant callsites).
One thing that might be useful would be having the compiler be aware of
module boundaries and highlighting the boundaries of them. The first
reference note after crossing a module boundary is likely the most
interesting one.
Breaking API change to std.Build.addConfigHeader. It now uses an options
struct.
Introduce std.Build.CompileStep.installConfigHeader which also accepts
an options struct. This is used to add a generated config file into the
set of installed header files for a particular compilation artifact.
std.Build.ConfigHeaderStep now additionally supports a "blank" style
where a header is generated from scratch. It no longer exposes
`output_dir`. Instead it exposes a FileSource via `output_file`.
It now additionally accepts an `include_path` option which affects the
include path of CompileStep when using the `#include` directive, as well
as affecting the default installation subdirectory for header
installation purposes.
The hash used for the directory to store the generated config file now
includes the contents of the generated file. This fixes possible race
conditions when generating multiple header files simultaneously.
The values hash table is now an array hash map, to preserve order for
the "blank" use case.
I also took the opportunity to remove output_dir from TranslateCStep and
WriteFileStep. This is technically a breaking change, but it was always
naughty to access these fields.
Add ability to generate a c header file from scratch, and then both
compile with it and install it if needed.
Example:
```zig
const avconfig_h = b.addConfigHeader(.{ .path = "libavutil/avconfig.h" }, .generated, .{
.AV_HAVE_BIGENDIAN = 0, // TODO: detect based on target
.AV_HAVE_FAST_UNALIGNED = 1, // TODO: detect based on target
});
lib.addConfigHeader(avconfig_h);
lib.installConfigHeader(avconfig_h);
```
assumeSentinel was removed and replaced with a compileError, but it's
not pub, so the error message indicates it's private rather than
providing the compileError message.
New API introduced: std.Build.addModule
This function exposes a zig module with the given name, which can be
used by packages that depend on this one via std.Build.Dependency.module.
std.Build.Pkg and related functionality is deleted. Every use case has a
straightforward upgrade path using the new Module struct.
std.Build.OptionsStep.getPackage is replaced by
std.Build.OptionsStep.createModule.
std.Build.CompileStep.addPackagePath is replaced by
std.Build.CompileStep.addAnonymousModule.
This partially addresses #14307 by renaming some of the instances of
"package" to "module".
Closes#14278
Underlying fix should have been d7b029995c.
u128 limb sizes are still not fully tested as we are missing compiler-rt
support (__divei4, __modei4 on x86_64). Should be no zig blockers so the
assertion has been removed.
* improve error message when build manifest file is missing
* update std.zig.Ast to support ZON
* Compilation.AllErrors.Message: make the notes field a const slice
* move build manifest parsing logic into src/Manifest.zig and add more
checks, and make the checks integrate into the standard error
reporting code so that reported errors look sexy
closes#14290
* std.zig.parse is moved to std.zig.Ast.parse
* the new function has an additional parameter that requires passing
Mode.zig or Mode.zon
* moved parser.zig code to Parse.zig
* added parseZon function next to parseRoot function
Unfortunately, due to the Windows equivalent of executable permissions
being a bit tricky, there is follow-up work to be done.
What is done in this commit is the hash modifications. At the fetch
layer, executable bits inside packages are ignored. In the hash
computation layer, executable bit is implemented for POSIX but not yet
for Windows. This means that the hash will not break again in the future
for packages that do not have any executable files, but it will break
for packages that do.
This is a hash-breaking change.
Closes#14308
Usage of `catch unreachable` in build scripts is completely harmless
because build scripts are always run in Debug mode, however, it sets a
poor example for beginners to learn from.
These declarations are now aliases of their new APIs and marked as
deprecated via doc comments:
* std.build.Builder
* std.build
* std.Build.LibExeObjStep
This is a breaking change that makes the API for creating build
artifacts no longer have any period of time where the target and
optimization mode are not set.
* introduce the concept of maps to user input options, but don't
implement it for command line arg parsing yet.
* remove setPreferredReleaseMode and standardReleaseOptions in favor of
standardOptimizeOption which has a future-proof options parameter.
These functions are currently footgunny when working with pointers to
arrays and slices. They just return the stated length of the array/slice
without iterating and looking for the first sentinel, even if the
array/slice is a sentinel terminated type.
From looking at the quite small list of places in the standard
library/compiler that this change breaks existing code, the new code
looks to be more readable in all cases.
The usage of std.mem.span/len was totally unneeded in most of the cases
affected by this breaking change.
We could remove these functions entirely in favor of other existing
functions in std.mem such as std.mem.sliceTo(), but that would be a
somewhat nasty breaking change as std.mem.span() is very widely used for
converting sentinel terminated pointers to slices. It is however not at
all widely used for anything else.
Therefore I think it is better to break these few non-standard and
potentially incorrect usages of these functions now and at some later
time, if deemed worthwhile, finally remove these functions.
If we wait for at least a full release cycle so that everyone adapts to
this change first, updating for the removal could be a simple find and
replace without needing to worry about the semantics.
