In codegen.zig, the std.Target.Cpu.Arch is now generally available as a comptime value where needed. This is a tradeoff that causes the compiler binary to be more bloated, but gives us higher performance, since the optimizer can optimize per architecture (which is usually how compilers are designed anyway, with different code per-architecture), and it also allows us to use per-architecture types, such as a Register enum that is specific to the comptime-known architecture. Adds abiSize method to Type.
A general-purpose programming language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal, and reusable software.

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 == 10.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 == 10.x
- Use the pre-built binaries or build from source.
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brew outdated llvm || brew upgrade llvm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
Please help upstream LLVM and Homebrew solve this issue, there is nothing Zig can do about it. See that issue for a workaround you can do in the meantime.
Windows
