I want the language reference to be divorced from any particular
community. Also remove the call to action since the docs are
known to be incomplete and are not the current focus of the project.
Closes#9055
* 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
Since v0.23 release of Wasmtime, if we want to iterate a directory
Y then directory Y needed to have been granted `fd_readdir` right.
However, it is now also required for directory X to carry `fd_readdir`
right, and so on, up-chain all the way until we reach the preopen
(which possesses all rights by default).
This caused problems for us since our libstd implementation is more
fine-grained and allowed for parent dirs not to carry the right while
allow for iterating on its children. My proposal here is to always
grant `fd_readdir` right as part of
`std.fs.Dir.OpenDirOptions.access_sub_paths`. This seems to be the
approach taken by Rust also, plus we should be justified to take this
approach since WASI is experimental and snapshot1 will be discontinued
eventually and replaced with a new approach to access management
that will require a complete rewrite of our libstd anyhow.
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.
Add two helpers to ensure people won't ignore some edge cases such as
pointers overflowing the address space.
Also fix#8924 to some degree, the amount of unchecked alignForward is
still scary.
