The CLI gains -flto and -fno-lto options to override the default.
However, the cool thing about this is that the defaults are great! In
general when you use build-exe in release mode, Zig will enable LTO if
it would work and it would help.
zig cc supports detecting and honoring the -flto and -fno-lto flags as
well. The linkWithLld functions are improved to all be the same with
regards to copying the artifact instead of trying to pass single objects
through LLD with -r. There is possibly a future improvement here as
well; see the respective TODOs.
stage1 is updated to support outputting LLVM bitcode instead of machine
code when lto is enabled. This allows LLVM to optimize across the Zig and
C/C++ code boundary.
closes#2845
* CLI: change to -mred-zone and -mno-red-zone to match gcc/clang.
* build.zig: remove the double negative and make it an optional bool.
This follows precedent from other flags, allowing the compiler CLI to
be the decider of what is default instead of duplicating the default
value into the build system code.
* Compilation: make it an optional `want_red_zone` instead of a
`no_red_zone` bool. The default is decided by a call to
`target_util.hasRedZone`.
* When creating a Clang command line, put -mred-zone on the command
line if we are forcing it to be enabled.
* Update update_clang_options.zig with respect to the recent {s}/{} format changes.
* `zig cc` integration with red zone preference.
We generally get away with atomic primitives, however a lock is required
around the refresh function since it traverses the Node graph, and we
need to be sure no references to Nodes remain after end() is called.
The main idea here is that there are now 2 ways to get a stage1 zig
binary:
* The cmake path. Requirements: cmake, system C++ compiler, system
LLVM, LLD, Clang libraries, compiled by the system C++ compiler.
* The zig path. Requirements: a zig installation, system LLVM, LLD,
Clang libraries, compiled by the zig installation.
Note that the former can be used to now take the latter path.
Removed config.h.in and config.zig.in. The build.zig script no longer is
coupled to the cmake script.
cmake no longer tries to determine the zig version. A build with cmake
will yield a stage1 zig binary that reports 0.0.0+zig0. This is going to
get reverted.
`zig build` now accepts `-Dstage1` which will build the stage1 compiler,
and put the stage2 backend behind a feature flag.
build.zig is simplified to only support the use case of enabling LLVM
support when the LLVM, LLD, and Clang libraries were built by zig. This
part is probably sadly going to have to get reverted to make package
maintainers happy.
Zig build system addBuildOption supports a couple new types.
The biggest reason to make this change is that the zig path is an
attractive option for doing compiler development work on Windows. It
allows people to work on the compiler without having MSVC installed,
using only a .zip file that contains Zig + LLVM/LLD/Clang libraries.
* std.log: still print error messages in ReleaseSmall builds.
- when start code gets an error code from main, it uses std.log.err
to report the error. this resulted in a test failure because
ReleaseSmall wasn't printing `error: TheErrorCode` when an error
was returned from main. But that seems like it should keep working.
So I changed the std.log defaults. I plan to follow this up with a
proposal to change the names of and reduce the quantity of the
log levels.
* warning emitted when using -femit-h when using stage1 backend; fatal
log message when using -femit-h with self-hosted backend (because the
feature is not yet available)
* fix double `test-cli` build steps in zig's build.zig
* update docgen to use new CLI
* translate-c uses `-x c` and generates a temporary basename with a
`.h` extension. Otherwise clang reports an error.
* --show-builtin implies -fno-emit-bin
* restore the compile error for using an extern "c" function without
putting -lc on the build line. we have to know about the libc
dependency up front.
* Fix ReleaseFast and ReleaseSmall getting swapped when passing the
value to the stage1 backend.
* correct the zig0 CLI usage text.
* update test harness code to the new CLI.
These CLI options are now forwarded to the stage1 backend.
We're not going to support the -mllvm CLI option any longer. As a
compromise, we unconditionally tell LLVM to output intel x86 syntax when
using -femit-asm.
Simplify stage1 logic; it no longer has the concept of an output
directory. --output-dir is no longer a valid CLI option. cmake uses
the `-femit-bin=[path]` option.
Note the changes to test/cli.zig. This breaks the CLI API that Godbolt
is using so we're going to want to open a PR to help them upgrade to the
new CLI for the upcoming Zig 0.7.0 release.
As part of this:
* add std.process.cleanExit. closes#6395
- use it in several places
* adjust the alignment of text in `zig build --help` menu
* Cache: support the concept of "unhit" so that we properly keep track
of the cache when we find out using the secondary hash that the cache
"hit" was actually a miss. Use this to fix false negatives of caching
of stage1 build artifacts.
* fix not deleting the symlink hash for stage1 build artifacts causing
false positives.
* implement support for Package arguments in stage1 build artifacts
* update and add missing usage text
* add --override-lib-dir and --enable-cache CLI options
- `--enable-cache` takes the place of `--cache on`
* CLI supports -femit-bin=foo combined with --enable-cache to do an
"update file" operation. --enable-cache without that argument
will build the output into a cache directory and then print the path
to stdout (matching master branch behavior).
* errors surfacing from main() now print "error: Foo" instead of
"error: error.Foo".
