This time, we preallocate a fixed set of nodes and have the user-visible
Node only be an index into them. This allows for lock-free management of
the node storage.
Only the parent indexes are stored, and the update thread makes a
serialized copy of the state before trying to compute children lists.
The update thread then walks the tree and outputs an entire tree of
progress rather than only one line.
There is a problem with clearing from the cursor to the end of the
screen when the cursor is at the bottom of the terminal.
New design ideas:
* One global instance, don't try to play nicely with other instances
except via IPC.
* One process owns the terminal and the other processes communicate via
IPC.
* Clear the whole terminal and use multiple lines.
What's implemented so far:
* Query the terminal for size.
* Register a SIGWINCH handler.
* Use a thread for redraws.
To be done:
* IPC
* Handling single threaded targets
* Porting to Windows
* More intelligent display of the progress tree rather than only using
one line.
You don't know if it's possible to run a binary until you try. The build
system already integrates with executors and has the
`skip_foreign_checks` for exactly this use case.
- Used `Self` instead of `*const Self` where appropriate (orignally proposed in #19770)
- Replaced `@intFromPtr` and `@ptrFromInt` with `@ptrCast`, `@alignCast`, and pointer arithmetic where appropriate
With this, the only remaining instance on pointer-int conversion in hash_map.zig is in `HashMapUnmanaged.removeByPtr`, which easily be able to be eliminated once pointer subtraction is supported.
The added comment explains the issue here relatively well. The new
progress API made this bug obvious because it became visibly clear that
certain Compile steps were seemingly "hanging" until other steps
completed. As it turned out, these child processes had raced to spawn,
and hence one had inherited the other's stdio pipes, meaning the `poll`
call in `std.Build.Step.evalZigProcess` was not identifying the child
stdout as closed until an unrelated process terminated.
This reverts commit 28476a5ee94d311319941b54e9da66210690ce70.
It also adds a comment to explain the purpose of this line, to prevent
this mistake from being repeated.
This reverts commit a7de02e05216db9a04e438703ddf1b6b12f3fbef.
This did not implement the accepted proposal, and I did not sign off
on the changes. I would like a chance to review this, please.
Fixes regression introduced by 5d5e89aa8d
Turns out since landing that PR we haven't run any tests requiring
symlinks or any Apple SDK on a macOS host. Not great.
