* `RunStep` moved to lib/std/build/run.zig and gains ability to compare
output and exit code against expected values. Multiple redundant
locations in the test harness code are replaced to use `RunStep`.
* `WriteFileStep` moved to lib/std/build/write_file.zig and gains
ability to write more than one file into the cache directory, for
when the files need to be relative to each other. This makes
usage of `WriteFileStep` no longer problematic when parallelizing
zig build.
* Added `CheckFileStep`, which can be used to validate that the output
of another step produced a valid file. Multiple redundant locations
in the test harness code are replaced to use `CheckFileStep`.
* Added `TranslateCStep`. This exposes `zig translate-c` to the build
system, which is likely to be rarely useful by most Zig users;
however Zig's own test suite uses it both for translate-c tests and
for run-translated-c tests.
* Refactored ad-hoc code to handle source files coming from multiple
kinds of sources, into `std.build.FileSource`.
* Added `std.build.Builder.addExecutableFromWriteFileStep`.
* Added `std.build.Builder.addExecutableSource`.
* Added `std.build.Builder.addWriteFiles`.
* Added `std.build.Builder.addTranslateC`.
* Added `std.build.LibExeObjStep.addCSourceFileSource`.
* Added `std.build.LibExeObjStep.addAssemblyFileFromWriteFileStep`.
* Added `std.build.LibExeObjStep.addAssemblyFileSource`.
* Exposed `std.fs.base64_encoder`.
- on Windows use first found env var { "Path", "PATH" }
Bug Description: `build test` results in the following error on in
a msys64 shell with "PATH" env var instead of "Path":
error while loading shared libraries: mathtest.dll:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
* Implements #3768. This is a sweeping breaking change that requires
many (trivial) edits to Zig source code. Array values no longer
coerced to slices; however one may use `&` to obtain a reference to
an array value, which may then be coerced to a slice.
* Adds `IrInstruction::dump`, for debugging purposes. It's useful to
call to inspect the instruction when debugging Zig IR.
* Fixes bugs with result location semantics. See the new behavior test
cases, and compile error test cases.
* Fixes bugs with `@typeInfo` not properly resolving const values.
* Behavior tests are passing but std lib tests are not yet. There
is more work to do before merging this branch.
It had the downside of running all the comptime blocks and resolving
all the usingnamespaces of each system, when just trying to discover if
the current system is a particular one.
For Darwin, where it's nice to use `std.Target.current.isDarwin()`, this
demonstrates the utility that #425 would provide.
* All the data types from `@import("builtin")` are moved to
`@import("std").builtin`. The target-related types are moved
to `std.Target`. This allows the data types to have methods, such as
`std.Target.current.isDarwin()`.
* `std.os.windows.subsystem` is moved to
`std.Target.current.subsystem`.
* Remove the concept of the panic package from the compiler
implementation. Instead, `std.builtin.panic` is always the panic
function. It checks for `@hasDecl(@import("root"), "panic")`,
or else provides a default implementation.
This is an important step for multibuilds (#3028). Without this change,
the types inside the builtin namespace look like different types, when
trying to merge builds with different target settings. With this change,
Zig can figure out that, e.g., `std.builtin.Os` (the enum type) from one
compilation and `std.builtin.Os` from another compilation are the same
type, even if the target OS value differs.
we don't really have a way to determine whether the stage1
zig compiler requires PIC so to be safe we always enable it
when building libuserland.
