The main goal here is to make the function pointers comptime, so that we
don't have to do the crazy stuff with async function frames.
Since InStream, OutStream, and SeekableStream are already generic
across error sets, it's not really worse to make them generic across the
vtable as well.
See #764 for the open issue acknowledging that using generics for these
abstractions is a design flaw.
See #130 for the efforts to make these abstractions non-generic.
This commit also changes the OutStream API so that `write` returns
number of bytes written, and `writeAll` is the one that loops until the
whole buffer is written.
* 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
* `zig test` gainst `--test-evented-io` parameter and gains the ability
to seamlessly run async tests.
* `std.ChildProcess` opens its child process pipe with O_NONBLOCK when
using evented I/O
* `std.io.getStdErr()` gives a File that is blocking even in evented
I/O mode.
* Delete `std.event.fs`. The functionality is now merged into `std.fs`
and async file system access (using a dedicated thread) is
automatically handled.
* `std.fs.File` can be configured to specify whether its handle is
expected to block, and whether that is OK to block even when in
async I/O mode. This makes async I/O work correctly for e.g. the
file system as well as network.
* `std.fs.File` has some deprecated functions removed.
* Missing readv,writev,pread,pwrite,preadv,pwritev functions are added
to `std.os` and `std.fs.File`. They are all integrated with async
I/O.
* `std.fs.Watch` is still bit rotted and needs to be audited in light
of the new async/await syntax.
* `std.io.OutStream` integrates with async I/O
* linked list nodes in the std lib have default `null` values for
`prev` and `next`.
* Windows async I/O integration is enabled for reading/writing file
handles.
* Added `std.os.mode_t`. Integer sizes need to be audited.
* Fixed#4403 which was causing compiler to crash.
This is working towards:
./zig test ../test/stage1/behavior.zig --test-evented-io
Which does not successfully build yet. I'd like to enable behavioral
tests and std lib tests with --test-evented-io in the test matrix in the
future, to prevent regressions.
Clean up the code a bit and introduce a few checks meant to avoid
overshooting the end of the frame chain.
The code is now stable enough not to cause panics during the call frame
walking.
* Let's consolidate the special-cased DWARF interpreter for OSX with the
general purpose one
* Drop the assumption that all the debug data is contained in a single
contiguous slice of memory. This is a good news for freestanding
targets and paves the way for supporting compressed debug sections.
Let's always subtract 1 from the return address so that we're sure to be
inside the callee.
Fixes some edge case where the stack trace skipped the first entry.
in stack tracing code, the idea was to detect the tty settings at the
top of the stack and pass the information down. somewhere along the way
this got changed so that setTtyColor was assuming the global stderr_file
was related to the output stream the stack trace was being printed to.
now, tty_color is changed to tty_config, and it is an enum rather than a
bool, telling how tty colors are expected to be handled. windows is
still incorrectly looking at stderr_file.
