Unlike the other glibc source code checked into the repo, `csu/init.c`
did not have a license clause that allowed linking without restrictions.
`_IO_stdin_used` is the only symbol in the file and appears to be a 20
year old compatibility shim for the glibc 2.0 ABI. Obsolete in 2.1.
closes#2024
there's a new cli option `--main-pkg-path` which you can use to choose
a different root package directory besides the one inferred from the
root source file
and a corresponding build.zig API:
foo.setMainPkgPath(path)
* better libc detection
This introduces a new command `zig libc` which prints
the various paths of libc files. It outputs them to stdout
in a simple text file format that it is capable of parsing.
You can use `zig libc libc.txt` to validate a file.
These arguments are gone:
--libc-lib-dir [path] directory where libc crt1.o resides
--libc-static-lib-dir [path] directory where libc crtbegin.o resides
--msvc-lib-dir [path] (windows) directory where vcruntime.lib resides
--kernel32-lib-dir [path] (windows) directory where kernel32.lib resides
Instead we have this argument:
--libc [file] Provide a file which specifies libc paths
This is used to pass a libc text file (which can be generated with
`zig libc`). So it is easier to manage multiple cross compilation
environments.
`--cache on` now works when linking against libc.
`ZigTarget` now has a bool field `is_native`
Better error messaging when you try to link against libc or use
`@cImport` but the various paths cannot be found. It should also be
faster.
* save native_libc.txt in zig-cache
This avoids having to detect libc at runtime on every invocation.
Mostly picking the same paths as FreeBSD.
We need a little special handling for crt files, as netbsd uses its
own (and not GCC's) for those, with slightly different names.
This is not intended to be the long-term implementation as it doesn't
provide various properties that we eventually will want (e.g.
round-tripping, denormal support). It also uses f64 internally so the
wider f128 will be inaccurate.
Previously, std.debug.assert would `@panic` in test builds,
if the assertion failed. Now, it's always `unreachable`.
This makes release mode test builds more accurately test
the actual code that will be run.
However this requires tests to call `std.testing.expect`
rather than `std.debug.assert` to make sure output is correct.
Here is the explanation of when to use either one, copied from
the assert doc comments:
Inside a test block, it is best to use the `std.testing` module
rather than assert, because assert may not detect a test failure
in ReleaseFast and ReleaseSafe mode. Outside of a test block, assert
is the correct function to use.

this should actually improve CI times a bit too
See the description at the top of std/os/startup.zig (deleted in this
commit) for a more detailed understanding of what this commit does.
And add std.math.f128_* constants.
The routines are:
__fixdfdi, __fixdfsi, __fixdfti,
__fixsfdi, __fixsfsi, __fixsfti,
__fixtfdi, __fixtfsi, __fixtfti.
These all call fixint which is a generic zig function that does the
conversion:
pub fn fixint(comptime fp_t: type, comptime fixint_t: type, a: fp_t) fixint_t
There are also a set tests:
__fixdfdi_test, __fixdfsi_test, __fixdfti_test,
__fixsfdi_test, __fixsfsi_test, __fixsfti_test,
__fixtfdi_test, __fixtfsi_test, __fixtfti_test.
Relevant #764
dwarf debug info is modified to use this instead of std.os.File
directly to make it easier for bare metal projects to take advantage
of debug info parsing
* add __multi3 compiler rt function. See #1290
* compiler rt includes ARM functions for thumb and aarch64 and
other sub-arches left out. See #1526
* support C ABI for returning structs on ARM. see #1481
