* add std.atomic.QueueMpsc.isEmpty
* make std.debug.global_allocator thread-safe
* std.event.Loop: now you have to choose between
- initSingleThreaded
- initMultiThreaded
* std.event.Loop multiplexes coroutines onto kernel threads
* Remove std.event.Loop.stop. Instead the event loop run() function
returns once there are no pending coroutines.
* fix crash in ir.cpp for calling methods under some conditions
* small progress self-hosted compiler, analyzing top level declarations
* Introduce std.event.Lock for synchronizing coroutines
* introduce std.event.Locked(T) for data that only 1 coroutine should
modify at once.
* make the self hosted compiler use multi threaded event loop
* make std.heap.DirectAllocator thread-safe

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'
* remove std.os.spawnThreadAllocator - windows does not support
an explicit stack, so using an allocator for a thread stack
space does not work.
* std.os.spawnThread - instead of accepting a stack argument, the
implementation will directly allocate using OS-specific APIs.
Use std.heap.FixedBufferAllocator combined with
std.heap.DirectAllocator instead.
std.mem.FixedBufferAllocator is moved to std.heap.FixedBufferAllocator
* 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`
Before we accepted a nullable allocator for some stuff like
opening files. Now we require an allocator.
Use the mem.FixedBufferAllocator pattern if a bound on the amount
to allocate is known.
This also establishes the pattern that usually an allocator is the
first argument to a function (possibly after "self").
fix docs for std.cstr.addNullByte
self hosted compiler:
* only build docs when explicitly asked to
* clean up main
* stub out zig fmt
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.
The purpose of this is:
* Only one way to do things
* Changing a function with void return type to return a possible
error becomes a 1 character change, subtly encouraging
people to use errors.
See #632
Here are some imperfect sed commands for performing this update:
remove arrow:
```
sed -i 's/\(\bfn\b.*\)-> /\1/g' $(find . -name "*.zig")
```
add void:
```
sed -i 's/\(\bfn\b.*\))\s*{/\1) void {/g' $(find ../ -name "*.zig")
```
Some cleanup may be necessary, but this should do the bulk of the work.
* docgen supports obj_err code kind for demonstrating
errors without explicit test cases
* add documentation for `extern enum`. See #367
* remove coldcc keyword and add @setIsCold. See #661
* add compile errors for non-extern struct, enum, unions
in function signatures
* add .h file generation for extern struct, enum, unions
* error return tracing is disabled in release-fast mode
* add @errorReturnTrace
* zig build API changes build return type from `void` to `%void`
* allow `void`, `noreturn`, and `u8` from main. closes#535
* better error message for realpath failing
* fix bug in std.io.readFileAllocExtra incorrectly returning
error.EndOfStream
* implement std.os.selfExePath and std.os.selfExeDirPath for windows
closes#346closes#630
regression: translate-c can no longer translate switch statements.
after #629 we can ressurect and modify the code to utilize arbitrarily
returning from blocks.
* add @noInlineCall - see #640
This fixes a crash in --release-safe and --release-fast modes
where the optimizer inlines everything into _start and
clobbers the command line argument data.
If we were able to verify that the user's code never reads
command line args, we could leave off this "no inline"
attribute.
* add i29 and u29 primitive types. u29 is the type of alignment,
so it makes sense to be a primitive.
probably in the future we'll make any `i` or `u` followed by
digits into a primitive.
* add `aligned` functions to Allocator interface
* add `os.argsAlloc` and `os.argsFree` so that you can get
a `[]const []u8`, do whatever arg parsing you want, and then free
it. For now this uses the other API under the hood, but it could
be reimplemented to do a single allocation.
* add tests to make sure command line argument parsing works.
