* #3844 update std.c functions to use null-terminated pointer types
* check linux functions
* fix callsites
* fix io test
* Add allocPrintCstr function to remove other cast
This change was mostly made with `zig fmt` and this also modified some whitespace. Note that in some files, `zig fmt` produced incorrect code, so the change was made manually.
* Implements #3768. This is a sweeping breaking change that requires
many (trivial) edits to Zig source code. Array values no longer
coerced to slices; however one may use `&` to obtain a reference to
an array value, which may then be coerced to a slice.
* Adds `IrInstruction::dump`, for debugging purposes. It's useful to
call to inspect the instruction when debugging Zig IR.
* Fixes bugs with result location semantics. See the new behavior test
cases, and compile error test cases.
* Fixes bugs with `@typeInfo` not properly resolving const values.
* Behavior tests are passing but std lib tests are not yet. There
is more work to do before merging this branch.
The actual desired access mask in this case seems quite confusing and badly documented. The previous combination of `GENERIC_READ` and `SYNCHRONIZE` seems both illegal and redundant according to the [`ntifs.h` documentation](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/ddi/ntifs/nf-ntifs-ntcreatefile), which specifies that `GENERIC_READ` should not be used for directories and includes `SYNCHRONIZE`. `winnt.h` contains a number of relevant-sounding flags such as `FILE_ADD_FILE`, `FILE_ADD_SUBDIRECTORY`, and `FILE_DELETE_CHILD` that do not show up in documentation at all. These are equal in value to file-specific flags that are documented as flags you should not specify when opening a directory.
this also deletes C string literals from the language, and then makes
the std lib changes and compiler changes necessary to get the behavior
tests and std lib tests passing again.
