* in Zig build scripts, getOutputPath() is no longer a valid function
to call, unless setOutputDir() was used, or within a custom make()
function. Instead there is more convenient API to use which takes
advantage of the caching system. Search this commit diff for
`exe.run()` for an example.
* Zig build by default enables caching. All build artifacts will go
into zig-cache. If you want to access build artifacts in a convenient
location, it is recommended to add an `install` step. Otherwise
you can use the `run()` API mentioned above to execute programs
directly from their location in the cache. Closes#330.
`addSystemCommand` is available for programs not built with Zig
build.
* Please note that Zig does no cache evicting yet. You may have to
manually delete zig-cache directories periodically to keep disk
usage down. It's planned for this to be a simple Least Recently
Used eviction system eventually.
* `--output`, `--output-lib`, and `--output-h` are removed. Instead,
use `--output-dir` which defaults to the current working directory.
Or take advantage of `--cache on`, which will print the main output
path to stdout, and the other artifacts will be in the same directory
with predictable file names. `--disable-gen-h` is available when
one wants to prevent .h file generation.
* `@cImport` is always independently cached now. Closes#2015.
It always writes the generated Zig code to disk which makes debug
info and compile errors better. No more "TODO: remember C source
location to display here"
* Fix .d file parsing. (Fixes the MacOS CI failure)
* Zig no longer creates "temporary files" other than inside a
zig-cache directory.
This breaks the CLI API that Godbolt uses. The suggested new invocation
can be found in this commit diff, in the changes to `test/cli.zig`.
Unlike the other glibc source code checked into the repo, `csu/init.c`
did not have a license clause that allowed linking without restrictions.
`_IO_stdin_used` is the only symbol in the file and appears to be a 20
year old compatibility shim for the glibc 2.0 ABI. Obsolete in 2.1.
closes#2024
there's a new cli option `--main-pkg-path` which you can use to choose
a different root package directory besides the one inferred from the
root source file
and a corresponding build.zig API:
foo.setMainPkgPath(path)
