* `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.
* rework os.sendfile and add macosx support, and a fallback
implementation for any OS.
* fix sendto compile error
* std.os write functions support partial writes. closes#3443.
* std.os pread / pwrite functions can now return `error.Unseekable`.
* std.fs.File read/write functions now have readAll/writeAll variants
which loop to complete operations even when partial reads/writes
happen.
* Audit std.os read/write functions with respect to Linux returning
EINVAL for lengths greater than 0x7fff0000.
* std.os read/write shim functions do not unnecessarily loop. Since
partial reads/writes are part of the API, the caller will be forced
to loop anyway, and so that would just be code bloat.
* Improve doc comments
* Add a non-trivial test for std.os.sendfile
* Fix std.os.pread on 32 bit Linux
* Add missing SYS_sendfile bit on aarch64
* `zig test` gainst `--test-evented-io` parameter and gains the ability
to seamlessly run async tests.
* `std.ChildProcess` opens its child process pipe with O_NONBLOCK when
using evented I/O
* `std.io.getStdErr()` gives a File that is blocking even in evented
I/O mode.
* Delete `std.event.fs`. The functionality is now merged into `std.fs`
and async file system access (using a dedicated thread) is
automatically handled.
* `std.fs.File` can be configured to specify whether its handle is
expected to block, and whether that is OK to block even when in
async I/O mode. This makes async I/O work correctly for e.g. the
file system as well as network.
* `std.fs.File` has some deprecated functions removed.
* Missing readv,writev,pread,pwrite,preadv,pwritev functions are added
to `std.os` and `std.fs.File`. They are all integrated with async
I/O.
* `std.fs.Watch` is still bit rotted and needs to be audited in light
of the new async/await syntax.
* `std.io.OutStream` integrates with async I/O
* linked list nodes in the std lib have default `null` values for
`prev` and `next`.
* Windows async I/O integration is enabled for reading/writing file
handles.
* Added `std.os.mode_t`. Integer sizes need to be audited.
* Fixed#4403 which was causing compiler to crash.
This is working towards:
./zig test ../test/stage1/behavior.zig --test-evented-io
Which does not successfully build yet. I'd like to enable behavioral
tests and std lib tests with --test-evented-io in the test matrix in the
future, to prevent regressions.
* 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.
this also deletes C string literals from the language, and then makes
the std lib changes and compiler changes necessary to get the behavior
tests and std lib tests passing again.
