Don't move static local variables into the top-level scope since this
can cause name clashes if subsequently-defined variables or parameters
in different scopes share the name.
Instead, use a variable within a struct so that the variable's lexical
scope does not change. This solution was suggested by @LemonBoy
Note that a similar name-shadowing problem exists with `extern` variables
declared within block scope, but a different solution will be needed since
they do need to be moved to the top-level scope and we can't rename them.
We will silently ignore expected section that are either won't take
part in linking such as any `__DWARF` section, or are known but are
not yet implemented such as `__TEXT,__eh_frame`. For any other
we will throw an error and exit.
Also, inform the caller that we currently are unable to handle
frameworks.
Up until now, we only expected old-fashioned objects which carried
two basic segments by name: __TEXT and __DATA. Since macOS 11.1,
there is a new segment __DATA_CONST, and we should expect and
correctly parse sections designated to that segment explicitly
as is the case in golang.
* stage1 backend allows configuring the uwtables function attr
via a flag rather than its own logic.
* stage2 defaults to enabling uwtable attr when
linking libunwind, or always on windows
* stage2 makes link_eh_frame_hdr true automatically if uwtable
attr is set to be on for zig functions
* CLI: add -funwind-tables and -fno-unwind-tables to allow the user to
override the defaults.
* hook it up to `zig cc`

The only allowed system libraries that we can link are libraries
that are part of the sysroot such as libc or WASI emulated
subcomponents. This is required as Wasm allows to defer symbol
resolution until load time.
For example, the following import in Zig
```zig
extern "wasi_snapshot_preview1" fn proc_exit() void;
```
would normally result in appending `-lwasi_snapshot_preview1` flag
to the linker line. However, for Wasm/WASI, the symbol is provided
at load rather than link time, therefore, the linker should not be
concerned with resolving the symbol. As a result, we should not
consider system libs by the Wasm linker.
closes#9034
These options were listed under the
"Debug Options (Zig Compiler Development)" heading. Anything in this
section should be considered unstable and can be modified at any time
at any developer's discretion.
Zig has detection for when it is accidentally being called recursively
when trying to find the native libc installation. However it was not
working, resulting in a cryptic failure, because zig tried to execute
a command which had spaces in it rather than tokenizing it.
This improves the user experience of `zig cc` for systems that Zig
does not support cross-compiling for.
Closes#8960
* then, in `link/Wasm.zig` map `CRTFile` to full emulated libs name
* move logic for removing any mention of WASI snapshot
`wasi_snapshot_preview1` from `Compilation.zig` into `link/Wasm.zig`
Move parsing of system libs into `main.zig` next to where we decide
if we should link libC, and, if targeting WASI, if the specified
libname equals one of the emulated components, save it on the side
and remove it from the system libs. Then, build *only* those parts
of WASI libc that were preserved in the previous step.
This also fixes building of different crt1 bits needed to support
reactors and commands.
This replicates the expected behavior when using `clang` with
upstream `wasi-libc` sysroot: linking emulated subcomponents
such as process clocks or signals requires an explicit link flag
in the compiler invocation, for example:
```
zig cc -target wasm32-wasi -lwasi-emulated-process-clocks main.c -o main.wasm
```
This commit includes emulated libc sublibs that were not included
in the compilation and caching of WASI libc that ships with Zig.
The libs include (emulated): process clocks, getpid, mman, and signal.
With this change, it is now possible to successfully cross-compile
`wasm3` engine to WASI with `zig cc`.
For the future though, it might be worth considering splitting WASI
libc into libc-proper and modularised emulated libs as it is done
in upstream, and then have them included only if the user specifically
requests emulation/parts of it.
When linking with -lfoo syntax, this indicates to Zig that the
dependency should either be provided by Zig, or it should be dynamically
provided by the system.
For windows-gnu targets, the search path was "foo.lib". Now it
additionally looks for "libfoo.dll.a".
Closes#7799
This small change makes working with tuple types much easier, allowing
the use of anonymous (eg. obtained with meta.ArgsTuple) tuples in more
places without the need for specifying each (quoted!) field name in the
initializer.
LLVM time profiler can collect time traces and present them in a
hierarchical view. Which breakdowns the time spent in each Pass or even
IR unit. The result is also exported into a format that can be easily
visualized by the Chrome browser.
Currently this features is controlled by the following environment
variables:
- `ZIG_LLVM_TIME_TRACE_FILE` toggles this feature and specifies the
output time trace file.
- `ZIG_LLVM_TIME_TRACE_GRANULARITY` controls the time granularity in
ms (default to 500).
- hash/eql functions moved into a Context object
- *Context functions pass an explicit context
- *Adapted functions pass specialized keys and contexts
- new getPtr() function returns a pointer to value
- remove functions renamed to fetchRemove
- new remove functions return bool
- removeAssertDiscard deleted, use assert(remove(...)) instead
- Keys and values are stored in separate arrays
- Entry is now {*K, *V}, the new KV is {K, V}
- BufSet/BufMap functions renamed to match other set/map types
- fixed iterating-while-modifying bug in src/link/C.zig
