This reverts commit 7e66b6d0684fb1b3aa76381486e655e4d13bc0a5.
I don't think this is needed, I don't get any errors locally when I
bootstrap windows without this change.
Windows does not really have weak symbols. So when we bootstrap with `zig cc`
and link both Zig's compiler-rt and the CBE's `compiler_rt.c` we end up with
duplicate symbol errors at link time.
For computing the zig version number, pass --abbrev=9 rather than
requiring the user to set their git configuration in order to make zig
versions match the standard.
* build.zig: introduce `-Dflat` option which makes the installation
match what we want to ship for our download tarballs. This allows
deleting a bunch of shell script logic from the CI.
- for example it puts the executable directly in prefix/zig rather
than prefix/bin/zig and it additionally includes prefix/LICENSE.
* build.zig: by default also install std lib documentation to doc/std/
- this can be disabled by `-Dno-autodocs` similar to how there is
already `-Dno-langref`.
* build.zig: add `std-docs` and `langref` steps which build and install
the std lib autodocs and langref to prefix/doc/std and
prefix/doc/langref.html, respectively.
* std.Build: implement proper handling of `-femit-docs` using the
LazyPath system. This is a breaking change.
- this is a partial implementation of #16351
* frontend: fixed the handling of Autodocs with regards to caching and
putting the artifacts in the proper location to integrate with the
build system.
- closes#15864
* CI: delete the logic for autodocs since it is now handled by build.zig
and is enabled by default.
- in the future we should strive to have nearly all the CI shell
script logic deleted in favor of `zig build` commands.
* CI: pass `-DZIG_NO_LIB=ON`/`-Dno-lib` except for the one command where
we want to actually generate the langref and autodocs. Generating the
langref takes 14 minutes right now (why?!) so we don't want to do that
more times than necessary.
* Autodoc: fixed use of a global variable. It works fine as a local
variable instead.
- note that in the future we will want to make Autodoc run
simultaneously using the job system, but for now the principle of
YAGNI dictates that we don't have an init()/deinit() API and instead
simply call the function that does the things.
* Autodoc: only do it when there are no compile errors
This allows using `zig ar` for `CMAKE_AR`. Unfortunately, it requires a
patch to CMakeLists.txt and cannot be done merely with flags to the
cmake line.
