* add safety panic for resuming a function which is returning, pending an await * remove IrInstructionResultPtr * add IrInstructionReturnBegin. This does the early return in async functions; does nothing in normal functions. * `await` gets a result location * `analyze_fn_async` will call `analyze_fn_body` if necessary. * async function frames have a result pointer field for themselves to access and one for the awaiter to supply before the atomic rmw. when returning, async functions copy the result to the awaiter result pointer, if it is non-null. * async function frames have a stack trace pointer which is supplied by the awaiter before the atomicrmw. Later in the frame is a stack trace struct and addresses, which is used for its own calls and awaits. * when awaiting an async function, if an early return occurred, the awaiter tail resumes the frame. * when an async function returns, early return does a suspend (in IrInstructionReturnBegin) before copying the error return trace data, result, and running the defers. After the last defer runs, the frame will no longer be accessed. * proper acquire/release atomic ordering attributes in async functions.
Zig is an open-source programming language designed for robustness, optimality, and maintainability.
Resources
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 == 8.x, compiled with the same gcc or clang version above
- Use the system package manager, or build from source.
Windows
- cmake >= 2.8.5
- Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 (version 15.8)
- LLVM, Clang, LLD development libraries == 8.x, compiled with the same MSVC version above
- Use the pre-built binaries or build from source.
Instructions
POSIX
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make install
MacOS
brew install cmake llvm@8
brew outdated llvm@8 || brew upgrade llvm@8
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/llvm/8.0.0_1
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
