See #770
To help automatically translate code, see the
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'
start using zig-fmt-pointer-reform branch build of zig fmt
to fix code to use the new syntax
all of test/cases/* are processed, but there are more left
to be done - all the std lib used by the behavior tests
* instead of `async(allocator) call()`, now it is
`async<allocator> call()`.
* Fixes syntax ambiguity when leaving off the allocator
* Fixes parse failure when call is a field access
This sets a precedent for using `<` to pass arguments
to a keyword. This will affect `enum`, `union`, and
`fn` (see #661)
LLVM 5.0.1, 6.0.0, and trunk crash when attempting to optimize coroutine code.
So, Zig does not support ReleaseFast or ReleaseSafe for coroutines yet.
Luckily, Clang users are running into the same crashes, so folks from the LLVM
community are working on fixes. If we're really lucky they'll be fixed in 6.0.1.
Otherwise we can hope for 7.0.0.
