* Add some more tests for the sqrt/sqrtf implementations.
The idea is to cross-check the software impl with the HW one whenever
possible.
* Fix a broken test, oops.
The code initializes twice `t` instead of `t1`, leaving the latter
uninitialized. The problem manifested itself by corrupting the LSBs of
the result in unpredictable ways.
The previous clone() definition was written for 32bit PPC targets,
trying to execute it on a PPC64 machine lead to countless crashes.
Use the clone() definition kindly lifted from Musl libc.
Comparisons with absolute epsilons are usually useful when comparing
numbers to zero, for non-zero numbers it's advised to switch to relative
epsilons instead to obtain meaningful results (check [1] for more
details).
The new API introduces approxEqAbs and approxEqRel, where the former
aliases and deprecated the old `approxEq`, allowing the user to pick the
right tool for the job.
The documentation is meant to guide the user in the choice of the
correct alternative.

Unlike glibc and musl, MinGW provides no libssp symbols leading to
countless compile errors if FORTIFY_SOURCE is defined.
Add a (incomplete) implementation of libssp written in Zig so that
linking succeeds.
Closes#6492
* re-introduce `std.build.Target` which is distinct from `std.Target`.
`std.build.Target` wraps `std.Target` so that it can be annotated as
"the native target" or an explicitly specified target.
* `std.Target.Os` is moved to `std.Target.Os.Tag`. The former is now a
struct which has the tag as well as version range information.
* `std.elf` gains some more ELF header constants.
* `std.Target.parse` gains the ability to parse operating system
version ranges as well as glibc version.
* Added `std.Target.isGnuLibC()`.
* self-hosted dynamic linker detection and glibc version detection.
This also adds the improved logic using `/usr/bin/env` rather than
invoking the system C compiler to find the dynamic linker when zig
is statically linked. Related: #2084
Note: this `/usr/bin/env` code is work-in-progress.
* `-target-glibc` CLI option is removed in favor of the new `-target`
syntax. Example: `-target x86_64-linux-gnu.2.27`
closes#1907
Use a struct as second parameter to be future proof (and also allows to
specify default values for the parameters)
Closes#2679 as it was just a matter of a few lines of code.
this also deletes C string literals from the language, and then makes
the std lib changes and compiler changes necessary to get the behavior
tests and std lib tests passing again.
