* libc_installation.cpp is deleted.
src-self-hosted/libc_installation.zig is now used for both stage1 and
stage2 compilers.
* (breaking) move `std.fs.File.access` to `std.fs.Dir.access`. The API
now encourages use with an open directory handle.
* Add `std.os.faccessat` and related functions.
* Deprecate the "C" suffix naming convention for null-terminated
parameters. "C" should be used when it is related to libc. However
null-terminated parameters often have to do with the native system
ABI rather than libc. "Z" suffix is the new convention. For example,
`std.os.openC` is deprecated in favor of `std.os.openZ`.
* Add `std.mem.dupeZ` for using an allocator to copy memory and add a
null terminator.
* Remove dead struct field `std.ChildProcess.llnode`.
* Introduce `std.event.Batch`. This API allows expressing concurrency
without forcing code to be async. It requires no Allocator and does
not introduce any failure conditions. However it is not thread-safe.
* There is now an ongoing experiment to transition away from
`std.event.Group` in favor of `std.event.Batch`.
* `std.os.execvpeC` calls `getenvZ` rather than `getenv`. This is
slightly more efficient on most systems, and works around a
limitation of `getenv` lack of integration with libc.
* (breaking) `std.os.AccessError` gains `FileBusy`, `SymLinkLoop`, and
`ReadOnlyFileSystem`. Previously these error codes were all reported
as `PermissionDenied`.
* Add `std.Target.isDragonFlyBSD`.
* stage2: access to the windows_sdk functions is done with a manually
maintained .zig binding file instead of `@cImport`.
* Update src-self-hosted/libc_installation.zig with all the
improvements that stage1 has seen to src/libc_installation.cpp until
now. In addition, it now takes advantage of Batch so that evented I/O
mode takes advantage of concurrency, but it still works in blocking
I/O mode, which is how it is used in stage1.
and fix larger-than-one-byte sentinels when being freed
Thank you to João Pedro for identifying both problems and
providing example code to solve them.
closes#4413
* `std.mem.Compare` is now `std.math.Order` and the enum tags
renamed to follow new style convention.
* `std.mem.compare` is renamed to `std.mem.order`.
* new function `std.math.order`
* add runtime safety for slicing pointers, arrays, and slices.
* slicing without a sentinel value results in non-sentineled slice
* improved `std.debug.panic` handling of panic-during-panic
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.
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.
* Delete `std.net.TmpWinAddr`. I don't think that was ever meant to
be a real thing.
* Delete `std.net.OsAddress`. This abstraction was not helpful.
* Rename `std.net.Address` to `std.net.IpAddress`. It is now an extern
union of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
* Move `std.net.parseIp4` and `std.net.parseIp6` to the
`std.net.IpAddress` namespace. They now return `IpAddress` instead of
`u32` and `std.net.Ip6Addr`, which is deleted.
* Add `std.net.IpAddress.parse` which accepts a port and parses either
an IPv4 or IPv6 address.
* Add `std.net.IpAddress.parseExpectingFamily` which additionally
accepts a `family` parameter.
* `std.net.IpAddress.initIp4` and `std.net.IpAddress.initIp6` are
improved to directly take the address fields instead of a weird
in-between type.
* `std.net.IpAddress.port` is renamed to `std.net.IpAddress.getPort`.
* Added `std.net.IpAddress.setPort`.
* `os.sockaddr` struct on all targets is improved to match the
corresponding system struct. Previously I had made it a union of
sockaddr_in, sockaddr_in6, and sockaddr_un. The new abstraction for
this is now `std.net.IpAddress`.
* `os.sockaddr` and related bits are added for Windows.
* `os.sockaddr` and related bits now have the `zero` fields default
to zero initialization, and `len` fields default to the correct size.
This is enough to abstract the differences across targets, and so
no more switch on the target OS is needed in `std.net.IpAddress`.
* Add the missing `os.sockaddr_un` on FreeBSD and NetBSD.
* `std.net.IpAddress.initPosix` now takes a pointer to `os.sockaddr`.
* Add some documentation for standard library things.
Added a bunch of descriptions for array_list.
Added some usage notes for failing_allocator.
Documented some of mem.Allocator.
