Deleted 16,000+ lines of c++ code, including:
* an implementation of blake hashing
* the cache hash system
* compiler.cpp
* all the linking code, and everything having to do with building
glibc, musl, and mingw-w64
* much of the stage1 compiler internals got slimmed down since it
now assumes it is always outputting an object file.
More stuff:
* stage1 is now built with a different strategy: we have a tiny
zig0.cpp which is a slimmed down version of what stage1 main.cpp used
to be. Its only purpose is to build stage2 zig code into an object
file, which is then linked by the host build system (cmake) into
stage1. zig0.cpp uses the same C API that stage2 now has access to,
so that stage2 zig code can call into stage1 c++ code.
- stage1.h is
- stage2.h is
- stage1.zig is the main entry point for the Zig/C++
hybrid compiler. It has the functions exported from Zig, called
in C++, and bindings for the functions exported from C++, called
from Zig.
* removed the memory profiling instrumentation from stage1.
Abandon ship!
* Re-added the sections to the README about how to build stage2 and
stage3.
* stage2 now knows as a comptime boolean whether it is being compiled
as part of stage1 or as stage2.
- TODO use this flag to call into stage1 for compiling zig code.
* introduce -fdll-export-fns and -fno-dll-export-fns and clarify
its relationship to link_mode (static/dynamic)
* implement depending on LLVM to detect native target cpu features when
LLVM extensions are enabled and zig lacks CPU feature detection for
that target architecture.
* C importing is broken, will need some stage2 support to function
again.
* build.zig: repair the ability to link against llvm, clang, and lld
* move the zig cc arg parsing logic to stage2
- the preprocessor flag is still TODO
- the clang arg iterator code is improved to use slices instead of
raw pointers because it no longer has to deal with an extern
struct.
* clean up error printing with a `fatal` function and use log API
for messages rather than std.debug.print
* add support for more CLI options to stage2 & update usage text
- hooking up most of these new options is TODO
* clean up the way libc and libc++ are detected via command line
options. target information is used to determine if any of the libc
candidate names are chosen.
* add native library directory detection
* implement the ability to invoke clang from stage2
* introduce a build_options.have_llvm so we can comptime branch
on whether LLVM is linked in or not.
