significantly increase test coverage
* add zig build option `-Dskip-libc` to skip tests that build libc
   (e.g. if you don't want to wait for musl to build)
 * add `-Denable-wine` option which uses wine to run cross compiled
   windows tests on non-windows hosts
 * add `-Denable-qemu` option which uses qemu to run cross compiled
   foreign architecture tests
 * add `-Denable-foreign-glibc=path` option which combined with
   `-Denable-qemu` enables running cross compiled tests that link
   against glibc. See
   https://github.com/ziglang/zig/wiki/Updating-libc#glibc for how to
   produce this directory.
 * the test matrix is done manually. release test builds are only
   enabled by default for the native target. this should save us some CI
   time, while still providing decent coverage of release builds.
   - add test coverage for `x86_64-linux-musl -lc` (building musl libc)
   - add test coverage for `x86_64-linux-gnu -lc` (building glibc)
   - add test coverage for `aarch64v8_5a-linux-none`
   - add test coverage for `aarch64v8_5a-linux-musl -lc` (building musl libc)
   - add test coverage for `aarch64v8_5a-linux-gnu -lc` (building glibc)
   - add test coverage for `arm-linux-none`
   - test coverage for `arm-linux-musleabihf -lc` (building musl libc) is
     disabled due to #3286
   - test coverage for `arm-linux-gnueabihf -lc` (building glibc) is disabled
     due to #3287
   - test coverage for `x86_64-windows-gnu -lc` (building mingw-w64) is
     disabled due to #3285
 * enable qemu testing on the Linux CI job. There's not really a good
   reason to enable wine, since we have a Windows CI job as well.
 * remove the no longer needed `--build-file ../build.zig` from CI
   scripts
 * fix bug in glibc compilation where it wasn't properly reading the abi
   list txt files, resulting in "key not found" error.
 * std.build.Target gains:
   - isNetBSD
   - isLinux
   - osRequiresLibC
   - getArchPtrBitWidth
   - getExternalExecutor
 * zig build system gains support for enabling wine and enabling qemu.
   `artifact.enable_wine = true;`, `artifact.enable_qemu = true;`. This
   communicates that the system has these tools installed and the build
   system will use them to run tests.
 * zig build system gains support for overriding the dynamic linker of
   an executable artifact.
 * fix std.c.lseek prototype. makes behavior tests for
   arm-linux-musleabihf pass.
 * disable std lib tests that are failing on ARM. See #3288, #3289
 * provide `std.os.off_t`.
 * disable some of the compiler_rt symbols for arm 32 bit. Fixes
   compiler_rt tests for arm 32 bit
 * add __stack_chk_guard when linking against glibc. Fixes std lib tests
   for aarch64-linux-gnu
 * workaround for "unable to inline function" using `@inlineCall`. Fixes
   compiler_rt tests for arm 32 bit.

ZIG

A general-purpose programming language designed for robustness, optimality, and maintainability.

Resources

Building from Source

Build Status

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 == 9.x, compiled with the same gcc or clang version above
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 == 9.x

Instructions

POSIX
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make install
MacOS
brew install cmake llvm@9
brew outdated llvm@9 || brew upgrade llvm@9
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$(brew --prefix llvm)
make install
Windows

Stage 2: Build Self-Hosted Zig from Zig Source Code

Note: Stage 2 compiler is not complete. Beta users of Zig should use the Stage 1 compiler for now.

Dependencies are the same as Stage 1, except now you can use stage 1 to compile Zig code.

bin/zig build --prefix $(pwd)/stage2

This produces ./stage2/bin/zig which can be used for testing and development. Once it is feature complete, it will be used to build stage 3 - the final compiler binary.

Stage 3: Rebuild Self-Hosted Zig Using the Self-Hosted Compiler

Note: Stage 2 compiler is not yet able to build Stage 3. Building Stage 3 is not yet supported.

Once the self-hosted compiler can build itself, this will be the actual compiler binary that we will install to the system. Until then, users should use stage 1.

Debug / Development Build

./stage2/bin/zig build --prefix $(pwd)/stage3

Release / Install Build

./stage2/bin/zig build install -Drelease
