* std.log: still print error messages in ReleaseSmall builds.
- when start code gets an error code from main, it uses std.log.err
to report the error. this resulted in a test failure because
ReleaseSmall wasn't printing `error: TheErrorCode` when an error
was returned from main. But that seems like it should keep working.
So I changed the std.log defaults. I plan to follow this up with a
proposal to change the names of and reduce the quantity of the
log levels.
* warning emitted when using -femit-h when using stage1 backend; fatal
log message when using -femit-h with self-hosted backend (because the
feature is not yet available)
* fix double `test-cli` build steps in zig's build.zig
* update docgen to use new CLI
* translate-c uses `-x c` and generates a temporary basename with a
`.h` extension. Otherwise clang reports an error.
* --show-builtin implies -fno-emit-bin
* restore the compile error for using an extern "c" function without
putting -lc on the build line. we have to know about the libc
dependency up front.
* Fix ReleaseFast and ReleaseSmall getting swapped when passing the
value to the stage1 backend.
* correct the zig0 CLI usage text.
* update test harness code to the new CLI.
We still want this compile error but I'm giving up on implementing it
correctly in stage1. It's been buggy and has false positives sometimes.
I left the test cases there, but commented out, so that when we go
through the stage1 compile error cases and get coverage for them in
stage2 we can reactivate the test cases.
closes#2154
This commit makes it possible to obtain pointers to `extern` variables
at comptime.
- `ir_get_var_ptr` employs several checks to determine if the given
variable is eligible for obtaining its pointer at comptime. This
commit alters these checks to consider `extern` variables, which have
runtime values, as eligible.
- After this change, it's now possible for `render_const_val` to be
called for `extern` variables. This commit modifies
`render_const_val` to suppress the value generation for `extern`
variables.
- `do_code_gen` now creates `ZigValue::llvm_global` of `extern`
variables before iterating through module-level variables so that
other module-level variables can refer to them.
This solution is incomplete since there are several cases still
failing:
- `global_var.array[n..m]`
- `&global_var.array[i]`
- `&global_var.inner_struct.value`
- `&global_array[i]`
Closes#5349
