- No overscrolling on small screens
- Font-size is reduced for more content per screen
- Tables + Code blocks scroll within a block to avoid page-widenening
The purpose of this is:
* Only one way to do things
* Changing a function with void return type to return a possible
error becomes a 1 character change, subtly encouraging
people to use errors.
See #632
Here are some imperfect sed commands for performing this update:
remove arrow:
```
sed -i 's/\(\bfn\b.*\)-> /\1/g' $(find . -name "*.zig")
```
add void:
```
sed -i 's/\(\bfn\b.*\))\s*{/\1) void {/g' $(find ../ -name "*.zig")
```
Some cleanup may be necessary, but this should do the bulk of the work.
* docgen supports obj_err code kind for demonstrating
errors without explicit test cases
* add documentation for `extern enum`. See #367
* remove coldcc keyword and add @setIsCold. See #661
* add compile errors for non-extern struct, enum, unions
in function signatures
* add .h file generation for extern struct, enum, unions
* error return tracing is disabled in release-fast mode
* add @errorReturnTrace
* zig build API changes build return type from `void` to `%void`
* allow `void`, `noreturn`, and `u8` from main. closes#535
closes#346closes#630
regression: translate-c can no longer translate switch statements.
after #629 we can ressurect and modify the code to utilize arbitrarily
returning from blocks.
* @enumTagName renamed to @tagName and it works on enums and
union-enums
* Remove the EnumTag type. Now there is only enum and union,
and the tag type of a union is always an enum.
* unions support specifying the tag enum type, and they support
inferring an enum tag type.
* Enums no longer support field types but they do support
setting the tag values. Likewise union-enums when inferring
an enum tag type support setting the tag values.
* It is now an error for enums and unions to have 0 fields.
* switch statements support union-enums
closes#618
* rename decode to decodeExactUnsafe.
* add decodeExact, which checks for invalid chars and padding.
* add decodeWithIgnore, which also allows ignoring chars.
* alphabets are supplied to the decoders with their
char-to-index mapping already built, which enables it to be
done at comptime.
* all decode/encode apis except decodeWithIgnore require dest
to be the exactly correct length. This is calculated by a
calc function corresponding to each api. These apis no longer
return the dest parameter.
* for decodeWithIgnore, an exact size cannot be known a priori.
Instead, a calc function gives an upperbound, and a runtime
error is returned in case of overflow. decodeWithIgnore
returns the number of bytes written to dest.
closes#611
I started working on #465 and made some corresponding std.io
API changes.
New structs:
* std.io.FileInStream
* std.io.FileOutStream
* std.io.BufferedOutStream
* std.io.BufferedInStream
Removed:
* std.io.File.in_stream
* std.io.File.out_stream
Now instead of &file.out_stream or &file.in_stream to get access to
the stream API for a file, you get it like this:
var file_in_stream = io.FileInStream.init(&file);
const in_stream = &file_in_stream.stream;
var file_out_stream = io.FileOutStream.init(&file);
const out_stream = &file_out_stream.stream;
This is evidence that we might not need any OOP features -
See #130.
* add `@divTrunc` and `@divFloor` functions
* add `@rem` and `@mod` functions
* add compile error for `/` and `%` with signed integers
* add `.bit_count` for float primitive types
closes#217
Old:
```
while (condition; expression) {}
```
New:
```
while (condition) : (expression) {}
```
This is in preparation to allow nullable and
error union types as the condition. See #357
where Int is an integer type
also introduce `@intToPtr` builtin for converting a usize
to a pointer. users now have to use this instead of `(&T)(int)`.
closes#311
implicit semicolon rules apply recursively to the "else" clause of if and try
if (a) {} else {} // implicit semicolon
if (a) {} else if (a) {} // implicit semicolon
if (a) {} else while (a) {} // implicit semicolon
closes#292
* if, try, while, for, comptime, defer are "greedy" with {} blocks,
meaning if their bodies are blocks, then no suffix operator is allowed
after the block. The {} block gets "built into" the containing statement,
like the body of a switch statement.
* the Expression syntactic element is no longer "greedy" with {} blocks,
meaning it's possible to have suffix operators after {} blocks without
needing the {} block to be an rhs operand first.
* `zig build --export [obj|lib|exe]` changed to `zig build_obj`,
`zig build_lib` and `zig build_exe` respectively.
* `--name` parameter is optional when it can be inferred from the
root source filename. closes#207
* `zig build` now looks for `build.zig` which interacts with
`std.build.Builder` to describe the targets, and then the zig
build system prints TODO: build these targets. See #204
* add `@bitcast` which is mainly used for pointer reinterpret
casting and make explicit casting not do pointer reinterpretation.
Closes#290
* fix debug info for byval parameters
* sort command line help options
* `std.debug.panic` supports format string printing
* add `std.mem.IncrementingAllocator`
* fix const ptr to a variable with data changing at runtime.
closes#289
* introduce zigrt file. it contains only weak symbols so that
multiple instances can be merged. it contains __zig_panic
so that multiple .o files can call the same panic function.
* remove `@setFnVisible` builtin and add @setGlobalLinkage builtin
which is more powerful
* add `@panic` builtin function.
* fix collision of symbols with extern prototypes and internal
function names
* add stack protector safety when linking against libc. To add
the safety mechanism without libc requires implementing
Thread Local Storage. See #276
* `@truncate` builtin allows casting to the same size integer.
It also performs two's complement casting between signed and
unsigned integers.
* The idiomatic way to convert between bytes and numbers is now
`mem.readInt` and `mem.writeInt` instead of an unsafe cast.
It works at compile time, is safer, and looks cleaner.
* Implicitly casting an array to a slice is allowed only if the
slice is const.
* Constant pointer values know if their memory is from a compile-
time constant value or a compile-time variable.
* Cast from [N]u8 to []T no longer allowed, but [N]u8 to []const T
still allowed.
* Fix inability to pass a mutable pointer to comptime variable at
compile-time to a function and have the function modify the
memory pointed to by the pointer.
* Add the `comptime T: type` parameter back to mem.eql. Prevents
accidentally creating instantiations for arrays.
* add `@compileLog(...)` builtin function
- Helps debug code running at compile time
- See #240
* fix crash when there is an error on the start value of a slice
* add implicit cast from int and float types to int and float
literals if the value is known at compile time
* make array concatenation work with slices in addition to
arrays and c string literals
* fix compile error message for something not having field access
* fix crash when `@setDebugSafety()` was called from a
function being evaluated at compile-time
* fix compile-time evaluation of overflow math builtins.
* avoid debug safety panic handler in builtin.o and compiler_rt.o
since we use no debug safety in these modules anyway
* add compiler_rt functions for division on ARM
- Closes#254
* move default panic handler to std.debug so users can
call it manually
* std.io.printf supports a width in the format specifier
if and switch are implicitly inline if the condition/target
expression is known at compile time.
instead of:
```
inline if (condition) ...
inline switch (target) ...
```
one can use:
```
if (comptime condition) ...
switch (comptime target) ...
```
See #167
Need to troubleshoot when we send 2 slices to printf. It goes
into an infinite loop.
This commit introduces 4 builtin functions:
* `@isInteger`
* `@isFloat`
* `@canImplictCast`
* `@typeName`
* comptime expression is a block expression as it should be
* fix var args when number of args passed is 0
* implement const value equality for structs
* fix indent when rendering container decl AST
* IR: prevent duplicate generation of code when it is partially
compile-time evaluated
* implement compile time struct field pointer evaluation
* fix compile time evaluation of slicing
* add `setFnTest`, `setFnVisible`, `setFnStaticEval`,
`setFnNoInline` builtin functions to replace previous
directive functionality
* add `coldcc` and `nakedcc` as keywords which can be used as part
of a function prototype.
* `setDebugSafety` builtin can be used to set debug safety features
at a per block scope level.
* closes#169
This replaces the current generic syntax for functions and replaces
it with the concept of inline parameters.
This paves the way for the "all structs anonymous" proposal.
Closes#151.
* Introduce the concept of packages. Closes#3
* Add support for error notes.
* Introduce `@import` and `@c_import` builtin functions and
remove the `import` and `c_import` top level declarations.
* Introduce the `use` top level declaration.
* Add `--check-unused` parameter to perform semantic
analysis and codegen on all top level declarations, not
just exported ones and ones referenced by exported ones.
* Delete the root export node and add `--library` argument.
* Directives can have arbitrary expressions as parameters
* Fix switch statement not generating code sometimes
* Rename "main" fn in bootstrap.zig to "zig_user_main" to
avoid name collisions
* codegen: fix badref when unreachable is last thing in an
expression
* support #condition directive on exported functions
See #88
Also, includes partial implementation of typedef top level declaration.
See #95
Also, fix function types. Previously the way we were deduping function type
pointers was incorrect.
