* CLI: `-target [name]` instead of `--target-*` args.
This matches clang's API.
* `builtin.Environ` renamed to `builtin.Abi`
- likewise `builtin.environ` renamed to `builtin.abi`
* stop hiding the concept of sub-arch. closes#1526
* `zig targets` only shows available targets. closes#438
* include all targets in readme, even those that don't
print with `zig targets` but note they are Tier 4
* refactor target.cpp and make the naming conventions
more consistent
* introduce the concept of a "default C ABI" for a given
OS/Arch combo. As a rule of thumb, if the system compiler
is clang or gcc then the default C ABI is the gnu ABI.
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.
closes#1304
From IEEE-754 standard:
Conversion of a quiet NaN in a supported format to an external character sequence
shall produce a language-defined one of “nan” or a sequence that is equivalent except
for case (e.g., “NaN”), with an optional preceding sign. (This standard does not interpret
the sign of a NaN.)
* Handle unions differently in std.fmt
Print the active tag's value in tagged unions. Untagged unions considered unsafe to print and treated like a pointer or an array.
Caused by struct printing behavior. Enums are different enough from structs and unions that the field iteration behavior doesn't do what we want even if @memberName didn't error on enums.
If fmt was called on with a [*]u8 or [*]const u8 argument, but the fmt string did not specify 's' to treat it as a string, it produced a compile error due to accessing index 1 of a 0 length slice.
This is akin to channels in Go, except:
* implemented in userland
* they are lock-free and thread-safe
* they integrate with the userland event loop
The self hosted compiler is changed to use a channel for events,
and made to stay alive, watching files and performing builds when
things change, however the main.zig file exits after 1 build.
Note that nothing is actually built yet, it just parses the input
and then declares that the build succeeded.
Next items to do:
* add windows and macos support for std.event.Loop
* improve the event loop stop() operation
* make the event loop multiplex coroutines onto kernel threads
* watch source file for updates, and provide AST diffs
(at least list the top level declaration changes)
* top level declaration analysis
* add assertion for trying to do @typeInfo on global error set
* remove TypeInfo.Slice
* add TypeInfo.Pointer.Size with possible values
- One
- Many
- Slice
See #770
* enable slicing for single-item ptr to arrays
* disable slicing for other single-item pointers
* enable indexing for single-item ptr to arrays
* disable indexing for other single-item pointers

zig-fmt-pointer-reform-2 branch.
This will convert all & into *. Due to the syntax
ambiguity (which is why we are making this change),
even address-of & will turn into *, so you'll have
to manually fix thes instances. You will be guaranteed
to get compile errors for them - expected 'type', found 'foo'
