Git was called in the build directory and not the source directory.
This works fine when the build directory resides within the source
repository, but doesn't work for out-of-source builds. Example:
```
~/zigbuild$ cmake ../zig
fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
Configuring zig version 0.2.0+
```
Use Git's `-C <path>` flag to always point to the source directory so
that it doesn't matter where the build directory lives.
Add support for half-precision floating point operations.
Introduce `__extendhfsf2` and `__truncsfhf2` in std/special/compiler_rt.
Add `__gnu_h2f_ieee` and `__gnu_f2h_ieee` as aliases that are used in
Windows builds.
The logic in std/special/compiler_rt/extendXfYf2.zig has been reworked
and can now operate on 16 bits floating point types.
`extendXfYf2()` and `truncXfYf2()` are marked `inline` to work around
a not entirely understood stack alignment issue on Windows when calling
the f16 versions of the builtins.
closes#1122
when the integer part does not fit in the destination integer type
* Also fix incorrect safety triggered for integer casting an
`i32` to a `u7`. closes#1138
* adds compiler-rt function: `__floatuntidf`
A few notes on the implementation:
- Any unsigned power of two integer type less than 64 bits in size is supported
as a Limb type.
- The algorithms used are kept simple for the moment. More complicated
algorithms are generally only more useful as integer sizes increase a
lot and I don't expect our current usage to be used for this purpose
just yet.
- All branches (practically) have been covered by tests.

for rough performance comparison numbers.
Closes#364.
this removes the following configure options:
* ZIG_LIBC_LIB_DIR
* ZIG_LIBC_STATIC_LIB_DIR
* ZIG_LIBC_INCLUDE_DIR
* ZIG_DYNAMIC_LINKER
* ZIG_EACH_LIB_RPATH
* zig's reliance on CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX
these options are still available as command line options, however,
the default will attempt to execute the system's C compiler to
collect system defaults for these values.
closes#870
We now use a generic Rand structure which abstracts the core functions
from the backing engine.
The old Mersenne Twister engine is removed and replaced instead with
three alternatives:
- Pcg32
- Xoroshiro128+
- Isaac64
These should provide sufficient coverage for most purposes, including a
CSPRNG using Isaac64. Consumers of the library that do not care about
the actual engine implementation should use DefaultPrng and DefaultCsprng.
libxml2 is a required library, but we only find out that when the build
fails to link against it, if it is not present. The same for zlib.
We use find_library to find these two libraries and print nice fail
messages if they are not found.
Add basic address->symbol resolution support. Uses symtab data from the
MachO image, not external dSYM data; that's left as a future exercise.
The net effect is that we can now map addresses to function names but
not much more. File names and line number data will have to wait until
a future pull request.
Partially fixes#434.
* move std.io.File to std.os.File
* add `zig fmt` to self hosted compiler
* introduce std.io.BufferedAtomicFile API
* introduce std.os.AtomicFile API
* add `std.os.default_file_mode`
* change FileMode on posix from being a usize to a u32
* add std.os.File.mode to return mode of an open file
* std.os.copyFile copies the mode from the source file instead of
using the default file mode for the dest file
* move `std.os.line_sep` to `std.cstr.line_sep`
Add fallback paths for when the getrandom(2) system call is not
available. Try /dev/urandom first and sysctl(RANDOM_UUID) second.
The sysctl issues a warning in the system logs with some kernels but
that seems like an acceptable tradeoff for the fallback of a fallback.
These are on the slower side and could be improved. No performance optimizations
yet have been done.

Some performance comparisons to C.
We take the fastest time measurement taken across multiple runs.
The block hashing functions use the same md5/sha1 methods.

In short, zig provides pretty useful tools for writing this sort of
code. We are in the lead against clang (which uses the same LLVM
backend) with us being slower only against md5 with GCC.
* Merge io.InStream and io.OutStream into io.File
* Introduce io.OutStream and io.InStream interfaces
- io.File implements both of these
* Move mem.IncrementingAllocator to heap.IncrementingAllocator
Instead of:
```
%return std.io.stderr.printf("hello\n");
```
now do:
```
std.debug.warn("hello\n");
```
To print to stdout, see `io.getStdOut()`.
* Rename std.ArrayList.resizeDown to std.ArrayList.shrink.
