Andrew Kelley 0e37ff0d59 std.fmt: breaking API changes
added adapter to AnyWriter and GenericWriter to help bridge the gap
between old and new API

make std.testing.expectFmt work at compile-time

std.fmt no longer has a dependency on std.unicode. Formatted printing
was never properly unicode-aware. Now it no longer pretends to be.

Breakage/deprecations:
* std.fs.File.reader -> std.fs.File.deprecatedReader
* std.fs.File.writer -> std.fs.File.deprecatedWriter
* std.io.GenericReader -> std.io.Reader
* std.io.GenericWriter -> std.io.Writer
* std.io.AnyReader -> std.io.Reader
* std.io.AnyWriter -> std.io.Writer
* std.fmt.format -> std.fmt.deprecatedFormat
* std.fmt.fmtSliceEscapeLower -> std.ascii.hexEscape
* std.fmt.fmtSliceEscapeUpper -> std.ascii.hexEscape
* std.fmt.fmtSliceHexLower -> {x}
* std.fmt.fmtSliceHexUpper -> {X}
* std.fmt.fmtIntSizeDec -> {B}
* std.fmt.fmtIntSizeBin -> {Bi}
* std.fmt.fmtDuration -> {D}
* std.fmt.fmtDurationSigned -> {D}
* {} -> {f} when there is a format method
* format method signature
  - anytype -> *std.io.Writer
  - inferred error set -> error{WriteFailed}
  - options -> (deleted)
* std.fmt.Formatted
  - now takes context type explicitly
  - no fmt string

Aro

Aro

A C compiler with the goal of providing fast compilation and low memory usage with good diagnostics.

Aro is included as an alternative C frontend in the Zig compiler for translate-c and eventually compiling C files by translating them to Zig first. Aro is developed in https://github.com/Vexu/arocc and the Zig dependency is updated from there when needed.

Currently most of standard C is supported up to C23 and as are many of the common extensions from GNU, MSVC, and Clang

Basic code generation is supported for x86-64 linux and can produce a valid hello world:

$ cat hello.c
extern int printf(const char *restrict fmt, ...);
int main(void) {
    printf("Hello, world!\n");
    return 0;
}
$ zig build && ./zig-out/bin/arocc hello.c -o hello
$ ./hello
Hello, world!
