* `zig test` gainst `--test-evented-io` parameter and gains the ability to seamlessly run async tests. * `std.ChildProcess` opens its child process pipe with O_NONBLOCK when using evented I/O * `std.io.getStdErr()` gives a File that is blocking even in evented I/O mode. * Delete `std.event.fs`. The functionality is now merged into `std.fs` and async file system access (using a dedicated thread) is automatically handled. * `std.fs.File` can be configured to specify whether its handle is expected to block, and whether that is OK to block even when in async I/O mode. This makes async I/O work correctly for e.g. the file system as well as network. * `std.fs.File` has some deprecated functions removed. * Missing readv,writev,pread,pwrite,preadv,pwritev functions are added to `std.os` and `std.fs.File`. They are all integrated with async I/O. * `std.fs.Watch` is still bit rotted and needs to be audited in light of the new async/await syntax. * `std.io.OutStream` integrates with async I/O * linked list nodes in the std lib have default `null` values for `prev` and `next`. * Windows async I/O integration is enabled for reading/writing file handles. * Added `std.os.mode_t`. Integer sizes need to be audited. * Fixed #4403 which was causing compiler to crash. This is working towards: ./zig test ../test/stage1/behavior.zig --test-evented-io Which does not successfully build yet. I'd like to enable behavioral tests and std lib tests with --test-evented-io in the test matrix in the future, to prevent regressions.

Building from Source
Note that you can download a binary of master branch.
Stage 1: Build Zig from C++ Source Code
Dependencies
POSIX
- cmake >= 2.8.5
- gcc >= 5.0.0 or clang >= 3.6.0
- LLVM, Clang, LLD development libraries == 9.x, compiled with the same gcc or clang version above
- Use the system package manager, or build from source.
Windows
- cmake >= 3.15.3
- Microsoft Visual Studio. Supported versions:
- 2015 (version 14)
- 2017 (version 15.8)
- 2019 (version 16)
- LLVM, Clang, LLD development libraries == 9.x
- Use the pre-built binaries or build from source.
Instructions
POSIX
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make install
MacOS
brew install cmake llvm@9
brew outdated llvm@9 || brew upgrade llvm@9
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$(brew --prefix llvm)
make install
Windows

Stage 2: Build Self-Hosted Zig from Zig Source Code
Note: Stage 2 compiler is not complete. Beta users of Zig should use the Stage 1 compiler for now.
Dependencies are the same as Stage 1, except now you can use stage 1 to compile Zig code.
bin/zig build --prefix $(pwd)/stage2
This produces ./stage2/bin/zig which can be used for testing and development.
Once it is feature complete, it will be used to build stage 3 - the final compiler
binary.
Stage 3: Rebuild Self-Hosted Zig Using the Self-Hosted Compiler
Note: Stage 2 compiler is not yet able to build Stage 3. Building Stage 3 is not yet supported.
Once the self-hosted compiler can build itself, this will be the actual compiler binary that we will install to the system. Until then, users should use stage 1.
Debug / Development Build
./stage2/bin/zig build --prefix $(pwd)/stage3
Release / Install Build
./stage2/bin/zig build install -Drelease
