Before, allocator implementations had to provide `allocFn`,
`reallocFn`, and `freeFn`.
Now, they must provide only `reallocFn` and `shrinkFn`.
Reallocating from a zero length slice is allocation, and
shrinking to a zero length slice is freeing.
When the new memory size is less than or equal to the
previous allocation size, `reallocFn` now has the option
to return `error.OutOfMemory` to indicate that the allocator
would not be able to take advantage of the new size.
For more details see #1306. This commit closes#1306.
This commit paves the way to solving #2009.
This commit also introduces a memory leak to all coroutines.
There is an issue where a coroutine calls the function and it
frees its own stack frame, but then the return value of `shrinkFn`
is a slice, which is implemented as an sret struct. Writing to
the return pointer causes invalid memory write. We could work
around it by having a global helper function which has a void
return type and calling that instead. But instead this hack will
suffice until I rework coroutines to be non-allocating. Basically
coroutines are not supported right now until they are reworked as
in #1194.
* standard library knows if it is linking against libc and will
sometimes call libc functions in that case instead of providing
redundant definitions
* fix infinite loop bug when resolving use declarations
* allow calling the same C function from different C imports.
closes#277
* push more logic from compiler to std/bootstrap.zig
* standard library provides way to access errno
closes#274
* fix compile error in standard library for windows
* add implementation of getRandomBytes for windows
* add `setFnTest`, `setFnVisible`, `setFnStaticEval`,
`setFnNoInline` builtin functions to replace previous
directive functionality
* add `coldcc` and `nakedcc` as keywords which can be used as part
of a function prototype.
* `setDebugSafety` builtin can be used to set debug safety features
at a per block scope level.
* closes#169
- Implemented some syscall for MacOSX
- tested on : El Capitan 10.11 x86_64
- make self hosted test run on macosx
- modified run_test so it does not fail when parseh throws
warnings (most of them are related to buildin types from
gcc that arent defined in header files and unions)
- making -mmacosx-version-min and -mios-version-min works like
gcc (command line paramers have precedence over enviroment variables)
* Introduce the concept of packages. Closes#3
* Add support for error notes.
* Introduce `@import` and `@c_import` builtin functions and
remove the `import` and `c_import` top level declarations.
* Introduce the `use` top level declaration.
* Add `--check-unused` parameter to perform semantic
analysis and codegen on all top level declarations, not
just exported ones and ones referenced by exported ones.
* Delete the root export node and add `--library` argument.
