See: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/directx/directx-adopting-spir-v Since we never hooked up the (experimental) DirectX LLVM backend, we've never actually supported targeting DXIL in Zig. With Microsoft moving away from DXIL, that seems very unlikely to change.
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!
