- Fix usage string `--skip-code-test` to `--skip-code-tests`.
- Added a token `{#additonal_option|-rdynamic#}` which introduce arbitrary flag to `build-exe/obj/lib` example.
- Fix wasm freestanding example, it now needs explicit export symbols to work.
Update the genToc funtion to make the name required in the Code node,
and add an additional optional field for the expected error, to use with
test_err, test_safety and obj_err.
Update langref.html.in to ensure all code blocks have a name that
- is unique, so that a doctest can be identified by it
- is descriptive
For test, test_err and test_safefy, ensure that the doctest name starts
with "test_", excluding doctests in the "Zig Test" section and doctests
that are imported by other doctests.
Ensure that the indentation of code_begin and code_end blocks are
consistent.
Fix a typo in pointer_arthemtic.
The deallocations of the process arguments are unnecessary, since the
memory will be deallocated by arena.deinit().
The deallocations are incorrect, since ArgIterator.next() returns a
slice pointing to the iterator's internal buffer, that should be
deallocated with args_it.deinit().
Before, native glibc and dynamic linker detection attempted to use the
executable's own binary if it was dynamically linked to answer both the
C ABI question and the dynamic linker question. However, this could be
problematic on a system that uses a RUNPATH for the compiler binary,
locking it to an older glibc version, while system binaries such as
/usr/bin/env use a newer glibc version. The problem is that libc.so.6
glibc version will match that of the system while the dynamic linker
will match that of the compiler binary. Executables with these versions
mismatching will fail to run.
Therefore, this commit changes the logic to be the same regardless of
whether the compiler binary is dynamically or statically linked. It
inspects `/usr/bin/env` as an ELF file to find the answer to these
questions, or if there is a shebang line, then it chases the referenced
file recursively. If that does not provide the answer, then the function
falls back to defaults.
This commit also solves a TODO to remove an Allocator parameter to the
detect() function.
I hit the "quotes in an RSP file" issue when trying to compile gRPC using
"zig cc". As a fun exercise, I decided to see if I could fix it myself.
I'm fully open to this code being flat-out rejected. Or I can take feedback
to fix it up.
This modifies (and renames) _ArgIteratorWindows_ in process.zig such that
it works with arbitrary strings (or the contents of an RSP file).
In main.zig, this new _ArgIteratorGeneral_ is used to address the "TODO"
listed in _ClangArgIterator_.
This change closes#4833.
**Pros:**
- It has the nice attribute of handling "RSP file" arguments in the same way it
handles "cmd_line" arguments.
- High Performance, minimal allocations
- Fixed bug in previous _ArgIteratorWindows_, where final trailing backslashes
in a command line were entirely dropped
- Added a test case for the above bug
- Harmonized the _ArgIteratorXxxx._initWithAllocator()_ and _next()_ interface
across Windows/Posix/Wasi (Moved Windows errors to _initWithAllocator()_
rather than _next()_)
- Likely perf benefit on Windows by doing _utf16leToUtf8AllocZ()_ only once
for the entire cmd_line
**Cons:**
- Breaking Change in std library on Windows: Call
_ArgIterator.initWithAllocator()_ instead of _ArgIterator.init()_
- PhaseMage is new with contributions to Zig, might need a lot of hand-holding
- PhaseMage is a Windows person, non-Windows stuff will need to be double-checked
**Testing Done:**
- Wrote a few new test cases in process.zig
- zig.exe build test -Dskip-release (no new failures seen)
- zig cc now builds gRPC without error
`getExternalExecutor` is moved from `std.zig.CrossTarget` to
`std.zig.system.NativeTargetInfo.getExternalExecutor`.
The function also now communicates a bit more information about *why*
the host is unable to execute a binary. The CLI is updated to report
this information in a useful manner.
`getExternalExecutor` is also improved to detect such patterns as:
* x86_64 is able to execute x86 binaries
* aarch64 is able to execute arm binaries
* etc.
Added qemu-hexagon support to `getExternalExecutor`.
`std.Target.canExecBinaries` of is removed; callers should use the more
powerful `getExternalExecutor` instead.
Now that `zig test` tries to run the resulting binary no matter what,
this commit has a follow-up change to the build system and docgen to
utilize the `getExternalExecutor` function and pass `--test-no-exec`
in some cases to avoid getting the error.
Additionally:
* refactor: extract NativePaths and NativeTargetInfo into their own
files named after the structs.
* small improvement to langref to reduce the complexity of the `callconv`
expression in a couple examples.
In a previous commit (f4d3d29), syntax checking for code blocks with the
`syntax` type was disabled due to a change in astgen now checking the existence of
identifiers. The change in astgen caused some code samples in the language
reference to cause compilation errors.
This commit updates the code samples in the language reference and
re-enables syntax checking. Some code samples have been changed to unchecked
syntax blocks using `{#syntax_block#}` when suitable.
The language reference's HTML has been updated to be more semantically correct.
This also helps to improve the document's accessibility concerns.
* Document structure has single h1, other header sections start at h2, nav sections w/ aria labels, main section
* Zig's homepage is linked, Zig Standard Library section link to it
* Tables have caption and scoping rows and columns
* Code blocks are figures with figure captions citing source files
* Change line height 1.5 to include table of contents as well
* Luminosity contrast ratios have been adjusted to 7:1
* Dark mode colors adjusted to reduce eye strain
* Links have default browser underline with hover and focus effects
* Asides, definition lists, keyboard inputs, program outputs are represented semantically

* Added doc comments for `std.Target.ObjectFormat` enum
* `std.Target.oFileExt` is removed because it is incorrect for Plan-9
targets. Instead, use `std.Target.ObjectFormat.fileExt` and pass a
CPU architecture.
* Added `Compilation.Directory.joinZ` for when a null byte is desired.
* Improvements to `Compilation.create` logic for computing `use_llvm`
and reporting errors in contradictory flags. `-femit-llvm-ir` and
`-femit-llvm-bc` will now imply `-fLLVM`.
* Fix compilation when passing `.bc` files on the command line.
* Improvements to the stage2 LLVM backend:
- cleaned up error messages and error reporting. Properly bubble up
some errors rather than dumping to stderr; others turn into panics.
- properly call ZigLLVMCreateTargetMachine and
ZigLLVMTargetMachineEmitToFile and implement calculation of the
respective parameters (cpu features, code model, abi name, lto,
tsan, etc).
- LLVM module verification only runs in debug builds of the compiler
- use LLVMDumpModule rather than printToString because in the case
that we incorrectly pass a null pointer to LLVM it may crash during
dumping the module and having it partially printed is helpful in
this case.
- support -femit-asm, -fno-emit-bin, -femit-llvm-ir, -femit-llvm-bc
- Support LLVM backend when used with Mach-O and WASM linkers.
* Remove parser error on double ampersand
* Add failing test for double ampersand case
* Add error when encountering double ampersand in AstGen
"Bit and" operator should not make sense when one of its operands
is an address.
* Check that 2 ampersands are adjacent to each other in source string
* Remove cases of unused variables in tests
- hash/eql functions moved into a Context object
- *Context functions pass an explicit context
- *Adapted functions pass specialized keys and contexts
- new getPtr() function returns a pointer to value
- remove functions renamed to fetchRemove
- new remove functions return bool
- removeAssertDiscard deleted, use assert(remove(...)) instead
- Keys and values are stored in separate arrays
- Entry is now {*K, *V}, the new KV is {K, V}
- BufSet/BufMap functions renamed to match other set/map types
- fixed iterating-while-modifying bug in src/link/C.zig
This matches the behaviour for other targets in that
```
zig build-lib math.zig -target wasm32-freestanding
```
produces now `libmath.a` while
```
zig build-lib math.zig -dynamic -target wasm32-freestanding
```
is required to create a loadable Wasm module.
