This caused link errors in c++ code because it was not correct to pass
these flags to child codegens. And that was the only reason to detect
these flags. Otherwise we can safely rely on non-explicitly-detected
flag forwarding.
This is only the first step; it makes zig cc recognize -z and append it to the linker args, but the linker arg parsing doesn't support -z yet so it will just give the warning 'unsupported linker arg: -z'
* `-isystem` instead of `-I` for system include directories
fixes a problem with native system directories interfering with zig's
bundled libc.
* separate Stage2Target.is_native into Stage2Target.is_native_os and
Stage2Target.is_native_cpu.
* The generated options data file is sorted now in a way that
makes sure longer prefixes are first. This prevents collisions
with some parameters.
* Add support for `-fPIC`, `-fno-PIC`, `-nostdlib`, `-shared`,
`-rdynamic`, `-Wl,-soname`, `-Wl,-rpath`
* Better support for `-o`.
* Disable generating h files
* Shared library support.
* Better positional argument support.
* remove deprecated `std.fs.Dir` APIs
* `std.fs.Dir.openDir` now takes a options struct with bool fields for
`access_sub_paths` and `iterate`. It's now much more clear how
opening directories works.
* fixed the std lib and various zig code calling the wrong openDir
function.
* the runtime safety check for dir flags is removed in favor of the
cheaper option of putting a comment on the same line as handling
EBADF / ACCESS_DENIED, since that will show up in stack traces.
* `std.Buffer.print` is removed; use `buffer.outStream().print`
* `std.fmt.count` returns a `u64`
* `std.Fifo.print` is removed; use `fifo.outStream().print`
* `std.fmt.bufPrint` error is renamed from `BufferTooSmall`
to `NoSpaceLeft` to match `std.os.write`.
* `std.io.FixedBufferStream.getWritten` returns mutable buffer
if the buffer is mutable.
The main goal here is to make the function pointers comptime, so that we
don't have to do the crazy stuff with async function frames.
Since InStream, OutStream, and SeekableStream are already generic
across error sets, it's not really worse to make them generic across the
vtable as well.
See #764 for the open issue acknowledging that using generics for these
abstractions is a design flaw.
See #130 for the efforts to make these abstractions non-generic.
This commit also changes the OutStream API so that `write` returns
number of bytes written, and `writeAll` is the one that loops until the
whole buffer is written.
Add std.Target.Cpu.Model.generic which is even more empty than baseline.
CPU model and feature detection uses this rather than baseline.
Rename cpu_detected to cpu_detection_unimplemented and flip the logic.
It can be relied on by stage2.zig to decide whether the LLVM workaround
is needed without also checking the CrossTarget.
Move the CPU detection to after the OS detection, and use the detected
OS for the CPU detection. This is relevant because operating systems
sometimes emulate certain CPU features, so knowing the OS and version is
relevant for determining CPU features.
Prepare for #4592 by passing the CPU arch to the detection code, instead
of having it rely on Target.current.
The CPU model & feature detection logic is modified. Before:
* Detect actual features
* Use as hint when detecting CPU model
* Populate dependencies of CPU model features
* Merge that into the actual features set
After:
* Detect actual features
* Use as hint when detecting CPU model
* Add known CPU model features to actual features
* Detect actual features again, overriding known CPU model features
* Populate dependencies
* `std.Target.getStandardDynamicLinkerPath` =>
`std.Target.standardDynamicLinkerPath`
* it now takes a pointer to fixed size array rather than an allocator
* `std.zig.system.NativeTargetInfo.detect` now supports reading
PT_INTERP from /usr/bin/env
Zig now supports a more fine-grained sense of what is native and what is
not. Some examples:
This is now allowed:
-target native
Different OS but native CPU, default Windows C ABI:
-target native-windows
This could be useful for example when running in Wine.
Different CPU but native OS, native C ABI.
-target x86_64-native -mcpu=skylake
Different C ABI but otherwise native target:
-target native-native-musl
-target native-native-gnu
Lots of breaking changes to related std lib APIs.
Calls to getOs() will need to be changed to getOsTag().
Calls to getArch() will need to be changed to getCpuArch().
Usage of Target.Cross and Target.Native need to be updated to use
CrossTarget API.
`std.build.Builder.standardTargetOptions` is changed to accept its
parameters as a struct with default values. It now has the ability to
specify a whitelist of targets allowed, as well as the default target.
Rather than two different ways of collecting the target, it's now always
a string that is validated, and prints helpful diagnostics for invalid
targets. This feature should now be actually useful, and contributions
welcome to further improve the user experience.
`std.build.LibExeObjStep.setTheTarget` is removed.
`std.build.LibExeObjStep.setTarget` is updated to take a CrossTarget
parameter.
`std.build.LibExeObjStep.setTargetGLibC` is removed. glibc versions are
handled in the CrossTarget API and can be specified with the `-target`
triple.
`std.builtin.Version` gains a `format` method.
* re-introduce `std.build.Target` which is distinct from `std.Target`.
`std.build.Target` wraps `std.Target` so that it can be annotated as
"the native target" or an explicitly specified target.
* `std.Target.Os` is moved to `std.Target.Os.Tag`. The former is now a
struct which has the tag as well as version range information.
* `std.elf` gains some more ELF header constants.
* `std.Target.parse` gains the ability to parse operating system
version ranges as well as glibc version.
* Added `std.Target.isGnuLibC()`.
* self-hosted dynamic linker detection and glibc version detection.
This also adds the improved logic using `/usr/bin/env` rather than
invoking the system C compiler to find the dynamic linker when zig
is statically linked. Related: #2084
Note: this `/usr/bin/env` code is work-in-progress.
* `-target-glibc` CLI option is removed in favor of the new `-target`
syntax. Example: `-target x86_64-linux-gnu.2.27`
closes#1907
This function expands argv[0] into the absolute path resolved with PATH
environment variable before making the execve syscall. However, in case
the execve fails, e.g. with ENOENT, it did not restore argv to how it
was before it was passed in. This resulted in the caller performing an
invalid free.
This commit also adds verbose debug info when native system C compiler
detection fails. See #4521.
