implement builtin.zig file population for all modules rather than
assuming there is only one global builtin.zig module.
move some fields from link.File to Compilation
move some fields from Module to Compilation
compute debug_format in global Compilation config resolution
wire up C compilation to the concept of owner modules
make whole cache mode call link.File.createEmpty() instead of
link.File.open()
These options are only supposed to be provided to the initialization
functions, resolved, and then computed values stored in the appropriate
place (base struct or the object-format-specific structs).
Many more to go...
Much of the logic from Compilation.create() is extracted into
Compilation.Config.resolve() which accepts many optional settings and
produces concrete settings. This separate step is needed by API users of
Compilation so that they can pass the resolved global settings to the
Module creation function, which itself needs to resolve per-Module
settings.
Since the target and other things are no longer global settings, I did
not want them stored in link.File (in the `options` field). That options
field was already a kludge; those options should be resolved into
concrete settings. This commit also starts to work on that, deleting
link.Options, moving the fields into Compilation and
ObjectFormat-specific structs instead. Some fields were ephemeral and
should not have been stored at all, such as symbol_size_hint.
The link.File object of Compilation is now a `?*link.File` and `null`
when -fno-emit-bin is passed. It is now arena-allocated along with
Compilation itself, avoiding some messy cleanup code that was there
before.
On the command line, it is now possible to configure the standard
library itself by using `--mod std` just like any other module. This
meant that the CLI needed to create the standard library module rather
than having Compilation create it.
There are a lot of changes in this commit and it's still not done. I
didn't realize how quickly this changeset was going to balloon out of
control, and there are still many lines that need to be changed before
it even compiles successfully.
* introduce std.Build.Cache.HashHelper.oneShot
* add error_tracing to std.Build.Module
* extract build.zig file generation into src/Builtin.zig
* each CSourceFile and RcSourceFile now has a Module owner, which
determines some of the C compiler flags.
Introduce the concept of "target query" and "resolved target". A target
query is what the user specifies, with some things left to default. A
resolved target has the default things discovered and populated.
In the future, std.zig.CrossTarget will be rename to std.Target.Query.
Introduces `std.Build.resolveTargetQuery` to get from one to the other.
The concept of `main_mod_path` is gone, no longer supported. You have to
put the root source file at the module root now.
* remove deprecated API
* update build.zig for the breaking API changes in this branch
* move std.Build.Step.Compile.BuildId to std.zig.BuildId
* add more options to std.Build.ExecutableOptions, std.Build.ObjectOptions,
std.Build.SharedLibraryOptions, std.Build.StaticLibraryOptions, and
std.Build.TestOptions.
* remove `std.Build.constructCMacro`. There is no use for this API.
* deprecate `std.Build.Step.Compile.defineCMacro`. Instead,
`std.Build.Module.addCMacro` is provided.
- remove `std.Build.Step.Compile.defineCMacroRaw`.
* deprecate `std.Build.Step.Compile.linkFrameworkNeeded`
- use `std.Build.Module.linkFramework`
* deprecate `std.Build.Step.Compile.linkFrameworkWeak`
- use `std.Build.Module.linkFramework`
* move more logic into `std.Build.Module`
* allow `target` and `optimize` to be `null` when creating a Module.
Along with other fields, those unspecified options will be inherited
from parent `Module` when inserted into an import table.
* the `target` field of `addExecutable` is now required. pass `b.host`
to get the host target.
This option is not needed since the link_libc flag can be set directly
when creating compiler_rt.
This fixes a problem where an immutable flag was being mutated in Sema.
The motivating problem here was a memory leak in the hash maps of
Module.Namespace.
The commit deletes more of the legacy incremental compilation
implementation. It had things like use of orderedRemove and trying to do
too much OOP-style creation and deletion of objects.
Instead, this commit iterates over all the namespaces on Module deinit
and calls deinit on the hash map fields. This logic is much simpler to
reason about.
Similarly, change global inline assembly to an array hash map since
iterating over the values is a primary use of it, and clean up the
remaining values on Module deinit, solving another memory leak.
After this there are no more memory leaks remaining when using the
x86 backend in a libc-less compiler.
The logic in 509be7cf1f10c5d329d2b0524f2af6bfcabd52de assumed that
`use_llvm` meant that the LLVM backend would be used, however, use_llvm
is false when there are no zig files to compile, which is the case for
zig cc. This logic resulted in `-fsingle-threaded` which made libc++
fail to compile for C++ code that includes the threading abstractions
(such as LLVM).
This incremental compilation logic will need to be reworked so that it
does not depend on buried pointers - that is, long-lived pointers that
are owned by non-top-level objects such as Decl.
In the meantime, this fixes memory leaks since the memory management of
these dependencies has bitrotted.
This field had the wrong type. It's not a `Zir.Inst.Index`, it's
actually a `Zir.OptionalExtraIndex`. Also, the former is currently
aliased to `u32` while the latter is a nonexhaustive enum that gives us
more type checking.
This commit is preparation for making this field non-optional. Now it
can be changed to `Zir.ExtraIndex` and then the compiler will point out
all the places that the non-optional assumption is being violated.
This feature was made to work with the legacy incremental compilation
mechanism which is being reworked.
This commit regresses the ability to update files used with `@embedFile`
while the compiler is running.
In exchange, we get these benefits:
* The embedded file contents are copied directly into InternPool rather
than there being an extra allocation and memcpy.
* The EmbedFile struct, which represents a long-lived object, is made
more serialization friendly.
* Eliminate the creation and use of a Decl as an anonymous decl.
When implementing the new incremental compilation mechanism,
functionality will need to be added back for handling `@embedFile`.
Commit 5393e56500d499753dbc39704c0161b47d1e4d5c has a flaw pointed out
by @mlugg: the `ty` field of pointer values changes when comptime values
are pointer-casted. This commit introduces a new encoding which
additionally stores the "original pointer type" which is used to store
the alignment of the anonymous decl, and potentially other information
in the future such as section and pointer address space. However, this
new encoding is only used when the original pointer type differs from
the casted pointer type in a meaningful way.
I was able to make the LLVM backend and the C backend lower anonymous
decls with the appropriate alignment, however I will need some help
figuring out how to do this for the backends that lower anonymous decls
via src/codegen.zig and the wasm backend.
This reverts commit 78855bd21866b515018259a2194e036e4b3120df.
This commit did not replace uses of `Type.err_int` of which there are
currently 60 uses.
Re-opens #786
This reverts commit d7b73af8f65bb891c8700ed47777144bb6f35fe1.
I did not look at this closely enough. This is incorrect; it should not
implicitly add rpaths for every library, and it should not disable the
nice default of each_lib_path when compiling for the native OS.
See #16062 where we are working on a follow-up improvement to this.
The INCLUDE variable being used during `.rc` preprocessing was an accidental regression in https://github.com/ziglang/zig/pull/17412.
Closes#17585.
resinator changes:
source_mapping: Protect against NUL bytes in #line filenames
lex: Avoid recalculating column on every tab stop within string literals
Proper error handling for failing to open cwd instead of `catch unreachable`
Use platform-specific delimiter for INCLUDE env var parsing
Before this commit, the logic would fail with a "LTO not available"
error if the user set `-fno-lto` which doesn't make sense. This commit
corrects the logic to understand when the user is explicitly requesting
to turn LTO off.
