'zig run file.zig' builds a file and stores the artifacts in the global
cache. On successful compilation the binary is executed.
'zig run file.zig -- a b c' does the same, but passes the arguments a,
b and c as runtime arguments to the program. Everything after an '--' are
treated as runtime arguments.
On a posix system, a shebang can be used to run a zig file directly. An
example shebang would be '#!/usr/bin/zig run'. You may not be able pass
extra compile arguments currently as part of the shebang. Linux for example
treats all arguments after the first as a single argument which will result
in an 'invalid command'.
Currently there is no customisability for the cache path as a compile
argument. For a posix system you can use `TMPDIR=. zig run file.zig` to
override, in this case using the current directory for the run cache.
The input file is always recompiled, even if it has changed. This is
intended to be cached but further discussion/thought needs to go into
this.
Closes#466.
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.
Changes:
- Removed superfluous "when possible"
- Fixed typo in "documentationt"
- Added missing comma
- Moved definition of error union type up to first sentence
