Now we handle -o /dev/null equivalent to -fno-emit-bin because
otherwise our atomic rename into place will fail. This also
makes Zig do less work, avoiding pointless file system operations.
This reverts commit 136a43934bc08dc3aee85f1182904b97456601d3, reversing
changes made to 9dd839b7ed15d1191f3303d069cffe0473e03e83.
This broke the behavior of `zig run`.
Previously, Zig ignored -lgcc_s with a warning that this dependency is
redundant because it is satisfied by compiler-rt. However, sfackler
pointed out that it also provides exception handling functions. So if
Zig sees -lgcc_s on the linker line, it needs to fulfill this dependency
with libunwind.
I also made link_libc inferred to be on if libunwind is linked since
libunwind depends on libc.
This change enables `zig build-lib` and friends to take a response file
of command line arguments, for example:
```sh
zig build-lib @args.rsp
```
Which effectively does the same thing as this in Bash:
```sh
zig build-lib $(cat args.rsp)
```
Being able to use a file for arguments is important as one can quickly
exceed the 32 KiB limit that Windows imposes on arguments to a process.

This change refactors the `zig` argument handling (for `build-lib`, etc.
commands) to use a `process.argsWithAllocator` iterator instead of
directly accessing arguments via array indices. This supports the next
commit which will enable us to use a response file argument iterator
here seamlessly.

using the provided -L directories before checking if we need to integrate
with system library paths. This prevents false positive of invoking
system cc to find native paths when in fact all dependencies are
satisfied by -L (or --search-prefix to zig build).
This reverts commit baead472d7641bdd96130354bafadc1fb1ed223b.
Let's go through the proposal process on this one. I want to push back
on this. My position is that, at the very least, a full trace of command
lines of sub-processes should be printed on failure, with the exception
of opt-in flags such as `--prominent-compile-errors`.

This provides a mechanism for builds to fully report an error to the user and prevent zig from piling on extra noise.
For some errors if the found token is not on the same line as
the previous token, point to the end of the previous token.
This usually results in more helpful errors.
This "feature" of gcc/clang means to treat this as a positional
link object, but using the library search directories as a prefix.
We solve this problem in the CLI layer, using a separate map for
the data since it is an uncommon case.
Closes#10851
For some projects, they can't help themselves, -lgcc_s ends up on the
compiler command line even though it does not belong there. In Zig we
know what -lgcc_s does. It's an alternative to compiler-rt. With this
commit we emit a warning telling that it is unnecessary to put such
thing on the command line, and happily ignore it, since we will fulfill
the dependency with compiler-rt.
In accordance with the requesting issue (#10750):
- `zig test` skips any tests that it cannot spawn, returning success
- `zig run` and `zig build` exit with failure, reporting the command the cannot be run
- `zig clang`, `zig ar`, etc. already punt directly to the appropriate clang/lld main(), even before this change
- Native `libc` Detection is not supported
Additionally, `exec()` and related Builder functions error at run-time, reporting the command that cannot be run
I hit the "quotes in an RSP file" issue when trying to compile gRPC using
"zig cc". As a fun exercise, I decided to see if I could fix it myself.
I'm fully open to this code being flat-out rejected. Or I can take feedback
to fix it up.
This modifies (and renames) _ArgIteratorWindows_ in process.zig such that
it works with arbitrary strings (or the contents of an RSP file).
In main.zig, this new _ArgIteratorGeneral_ is used to address the "TODO"
listed in _ClangArgIterator_.
This change closes#4833.
**Pros:**
- It has the nice attribute of handling "RSP file" arguments in the same way it
handles "cmd_line" arguments.
- High Performance, minimal allocations
- Fixed bug in previous _ArgIteratorWindows_, where final trailing backslashes
in a command line were entirely dropped
- Added a test case for the above bug
- Harmonized the _ArgIteratorXxxx._initWithAllocator()_ and _next()_ interface
across Windows/Posix/Wasi (Moved Windows errors to _initWithAllocator()_
rather than _next()_)
- Likely perf benefit on Windows by doing _utf16leToUtf8AllocZ()_ only once
for the entire cmd_line
**Cons:**
- Breaking Change in std library on Windows: Call
_ArgIterator.initWithAllocator()_ instead of _ArgIterator.init()_
- PhaseMage is new with contributions to Zig, might need a lot of hand-holding
- PhaseMage is a Windows person, non-Windows stuff will need to be double-checked
**Testing Done:**
- Wrote a few new test cases in process.zig
- zig.exe build test -Dskip-release (no new failures seen)
- zig cc now builds gRPC without error
This is only relevant for ELF files.
I also fixed a bug where passing a zig source file to `zig cc` would
incorrectly punt to clang because it thought there were no positional
arguments.
After #10656, function pointers are represented with e.g.
`*const fn()void` rather than `fn()void`.
This commit adds code to translate-c to emit different code
depending on whether the output zig source code is intended
to be compiled with stage1 or stage2.
Ideally we will have stage1 and stage2 support the exact same
Zig language, but for now they diverge because I would rather
focus on finishing and shipping stage2 than implementing the
features in stage1.
* rename `entry` to `entry_symbol_name` for the zig build API
* integrate with `zig cc` command line options
* integrate with COFF linking with LLD
* integrate with self-hosted ELF linker
* don't put it in the hash for MachO since it is ignored
Prior to this change, even if the use specified the sysroot on the
compiler line like so
```
zig cc --sysroot=/path/to/sdk
```
it would only be used as a prefix to include paths and not as a prefix
for `zig ld` linker.
Previously the code asserted source files were already loaded, but this
is not the case when cached ZIR is loaded. Now it will trigger .zig
source code to be loaded for the purposes of hashing the source for
`CacheMode.whole`.
This additionally refactors stat_size, stat_inode, and stat_mtime fields
into using the `Cache.File.Stat` struct.
* Logic to check whether a bin file is not emitted is more complicated
in between `Compilation.create` and `Compilation.update`. Fixed the
logic that decides whether to build compiler-rt and other support
artifacts.
* Basically, one cannot inspect the value of `comp.bin_file.emit` until
after update() is called - fixed another instance of this happening
in the CLI.
* In the CLI, `runOrTest` is updated to properly use the result value
of `comp.bin_file.options.emit` rather than guessing whether the
output binary is.
* Don't assume that the emit output has no directory components in
sub_path. In other words, don't assume that the emit directory is the
final directory; there may be sub-directories.
The two CacheMode values are `whole` and `incremental`.
`incremental` is what we had before; `whole` is new.
Whole cache mode uses everything as inputs to the cache hash;
and when a hit occurs it skips everything including linking.
This is ideal for when source files change rarely and for backends that
do not have good incremental compilation support, for example
compiler-rt or libc compiled with LLVM with optimizations on.
This is the main motivation for the additional mode, so that we can have
LLVM-optimized compiler-rt/libc builds, without waiting for the LLVM
backend every single time Zig is invoked.
Incremental cache mode hashes only the input file path and a few target
options, intentionally relying on collisions to locate already-existing
build artifacts which can then be incrementally updated.
The bespoke logic for caching stage1 backend build artifacts
is removed since we now have a global caching mechanism for
when we want to cache the entire compilation, *including* linking.
Previously we had to get "creative" with libs.txt and a special
byte in the hash id to communicate flags, so that when the cached
artifacts were re-linked, we had this information from stage1
even though we didn't actually run it. Now that `CacheMode.whole`
includes linking, this extra information does not need to be
preserved for cache hits. So although this changeset introduces
complexity, it also removes complexity.
The main trickiness here comes from the inherent differences between the
two modes: `incremental` wants a directory immediately to operate on,
while `whole` doesn't know the output directory until the compilation is
complete. This commit deals with this problem mostly inside `update()`,
where, on a cache miss, it replaces `zig_cache_artifact_directory` with a
temporary directory, and then renames it into place once the compilation is
complete.
Items remaining before this branch can be merged:
* [ ] make sure these things make it into the cache manifest:
- @import files
- @embedFile files
- we already add dep files from c but make sure the main .c files make
it in there too, not just the included files
* [ ] double check that the emit paths of other things besides the binary
are working correctly.
* [ ] test `-fno-emit-bin` + `-fstage1`
* [ ] test `-femit-bin=foo` + `-fstage1`
* [ ] implib emit directory copies bin_file_emit directory in create() and needs
to be adjusted to be overridden as well.
* [ ] make sure emit-h is handled correctly in the cache hash
* [ ] Cache: detect duplicate files added to the manifest
Some preliminary performance measurements of wall clock time and
peak RSS used:
stage1 behavior (1077 tests), llvm backend, release build:
* cold global cache: 4.6s, 1.1 GiB
* warm global cache: 3.4s, 980 MiB
stage2 master branch behavior (575 tests), llvm backend, release build:
* cold global cache: 0.62s, 191 MiB
* warm global cache: 0.40s, 128 MiB
stage2 this branch behavior (575 tests), llvm backend, release build:
* cold global cache: 0.62s, 179 MiB
* warm global cache: 0.27s, 90 MiB
The status quo for the `build.zig` build system is preserved in
the sense that, if the user does not explicitly override
`dylib.setInstallName(...);` in their build script, the default
of `@rpath/libname.dylib` applies. However, should they want to
override the default behaviour, they can either:
1) unset it with
```dylib.setIntallName(null);```
2) set it to an explicit string with
```dylib.setInstallName("somename.dylib");```
When it comes to the command line however, the default is not to
use `@rpath` for the install name when creating a dylib. The user
will now be required to explicitly specify the `@rpath` as part
of the desired install name should they choose so like so:
1) with `build-lib`
```
zig build-lib -dynamic foo.zig -install_name @rpath/libfoo.dylib
```
2) with `cc`
```
zig cc -shared foo.c -o libfoo.dylib -Wl,"-install_name=@rpath/libfoo.dylib"
```
Notating a symbol to be exported in code will only tell the linker
where to find this symbol, so other object files can find it. However, this does not mean
said symbol will also be exported to the host environment. Currently, we 'fix' this by force
exporting every single symbol that is visible. This creates bigger binaries and means host environments
have access to symbols that they perhaps shouldn't have. Now, users can tell Zig which symbols
are to be exported, meaning all other symbols that are not specified will not be exported.
Another change is we now support `-rdynamic` in the wasm linker as well, meaning all symbols will
be put in the dynamic symbol table. This is the same behavior as with ELF. This means there's a 3rd strategy
users will have to build their wasm binary.
We now respect both `-fallow-shlib-undefined` and
`-Wl,"-undefined=dynamic_lookup"` flags. This is the first step
towards solving issues #8180 and #3000. We currently do not expose
any other ld64 equivalent flag for `-undefined` flag - we basically
throw an error should the user specify a different flag. Support for
those is conditional on closing #8180. As a result of this change,
it is now possible to generate a valid native Node.js addon with Zig
for macOS.
