Andrew Kelley 193ad413f0 stage2: compiling C objects with clang
* add target_util.zig which has ported code from src/target.cpp
 * Module gains an arena that owns memory used during initialization
   that has the same lifetime as the Module. Useful for constructing
   file paths and lists of strings that have mixed lifetimes.
   - The Module memory itself is allocated in this arena. init/deinit
     are modified to be create/destroy.
   - root_name moves to the arena and no longer needs manual free
 * implement the ability to invoke `zig clang` as a subprocess
   - there are lots of TODOs that should be solved before merging
 * Module now requires a Random object and zig_lib_dir
 * Module now requires a path to its own executable or any zig
   executable that can do `zig clang`.
 * Wire up more CLI options.
 * Module creates "zig-cache" directory and "tmp" and "o" subdirectories
   ("h" is created by the cache_hash)
 * stubbed out some of the things linker code needs to do with TODO
   prints
 * delete dead code for computing compiler id. the previous commit
   eliminated the need for it.
 * add `zig translate-c` CLI option but it's not fully hooked up yet.
   It should be possible for this to be fully wired up before merging
   this branch.
 * `zig targets` now uses canonical data for available_libcs

ZIG

A general-purpose programming language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal, and reusable software.

Resources

Building from Source

Build Status

Note that you can download a binary of master branch or install Zig from a package manager.

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 == 10.x, compiled with the same gcc or clang version above
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 == 10.x

Instructions

POSIX
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make install

Need help? Troubleshooting Build Issues

MacOS
brew install cmake llvm
brew outdated llvm || brew upgrade llvm
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$(brew --prefix llvm)
make install

You will now run into this issue: homebrew and llvm 10 packages in apt.llvm.org are broken with undefined reference to getPollyPluginInfo or error: unable to create target: 'Unable to find target for this triple (no targets are registered)', in which case try -DZIG_WORKAROUND_4799=ON

Hopefully this will be fixed upstream with LLVM 10.0.1.
