`flock` locks based on the file handle, instead of the process id.
This brings the file locking on unix based systems closer to file
locking on Windows.
On NetBSD this is needed to avoid crashes in pthread_join as the default
value for the guard page size is not ignored even though a custom stack
address is specified.
Previously the zig build system incorrectly assumed that the only build
artifact was a binary. Now, when you enable the cache, only the output
dir is printed to stdout, and the zig build system iterates over the
files in that directory, copying them to the output directory.
To support this change:
* Add `std.os.renameat`, `std.os.renameatZ`, and `std.os.renameatW`.
* Fix `std.os.linux.renameat` not compiling due to typos.
* Deprecate `std.fs.updateFile` and `std.fs.updateFileMode`.
* Add `std.fs.Dir.updateFile`, which supports using open directory
handles for both the source and destination paths, as well as an
options parameter which allows overriding the mode.
* Update `std.fs.AtomicFile` to support operating based on an open
directory handle. Instead of `std.fs.AtomicFile.init`, use
`std.fs.Dir.atomicFile`.
* `std.fs.AtomicFile` deinit() better handles the situation when the
rename fails but the temporary file still exists, by still
attempting to remove the temporary file.
* `std.fs.Dir.openFileWindows` is moved to `std.os.windows.OpenFileW`.
* `std.os.RenameError` gains the error codes `NoDevice`,
`SharingViolation`, and `PipeBusy` which have been observed from
Windows.
Closes#4733
* rework os.sendfile and add macosx support, and a fallback
implementation for any OS.
* fix sendto compile error
* std.os write functions support partial writes. closes#3443.
* std.os pread / pwrite functions can now return `error.Unseekable`.
* std.fs.File read/write functions now have readAll/writeAll variants
which loop to complete operations even when partial reads/writes
happen.
* Audit std.os read/write functions with respect to Linux returning
EINVAL for lengths greater than 0x7fff0000.
* std.os read/write shim functions do not unnecessarily loop. Since
partial reads/writes are part of the API, the caller will be forced
to loop anyway, and so that would just be code bloat.
* Improve doc comments
* Add a non-trivial test for std.os.sendfile
* Fix std.os.pread on 32 bit Linux
* Add missing SYS_sendfile bit on aarch64
* re-introduce `std.build.Target` which is distinct from `std.Target`.
`std.build.Target` wraps `std.Target` so that it can be annotated as
"the native target" or an explicitly specified target.
* `std.Target.Os` is moved to `std.Target.Os.Tag`. The former is now a
struct which has the tag as well as version range information.
* `std.elf` gains some more ELF header constants.
* `std.Target.parse` gains the ability to parse operating system
version ranges as well as glibc version.
* Added `std.Target.isGnuLibC()`.
* self-hosted dynamic linker detection and glibc version detection.
This also adds the improved logic using `/usr/bin/env` rather than
invoking the system C compiler to find the dynamic linker when zig
is statically linked. Related: #2084
Note: this `/usr/bin/env` code is work-in-progress.
* `-target-glibc` CLI option is removed in favor of the new `-target`
syntax. Example: `-target x86_64-linux-gnu.2.27`
closes#1907
* 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.
* add reserved field to match musl struct definition so that
it will work with musl libc.
* add libc getrusage so that it will work with libc
what's not done in this branch is:
* test coverage. See #1629, which should also aim to provide
general test coverage for the std lib.
* rusage struct bits for non-linux operating systems
* #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
