This modifies the build process of Zig to put all of the source files
into libcompiler.a, except main.cpp and userland.cpp.
Next, the build process links main.cpp, userland.cpp, and libcompiler.a
into zig1. userland.cpp is a shim for functions that will later be
replaced with self-hosted implementations.
Next, the build process uses zig1 to build src-self-hosted/stage1.zig
into libuserland.a, which does not depend on any of the things that
are shimmed in userland.cpp, such as translate-c.
Finally, the build process re-links main.cpp and libcompiler.a, except
with libuserland.a instead of userland.cpp. Now the shims are replaced
with .zig code. This provides all of the Zig standard library to the
stage1 C++ compiler, and enables us to move certain things to userland,
such as translate-c.
As a proof of concept I have made the `zig zen` command use text defined
in userland. I added `zig translate-c-2` which is a work-in-progress
reimplementation of translate-c in userland, which currently calls
`std.debug.panic("unimplemented")` and you can see the stack trace makes
it all the way back into the C++ main() function (Thanks LemonBoy for
improving that!).
This could potentially let us move other things into userland, such as
hashing algorithms, the entire cache system, .d file parsing, pretty
much anything that libuserland.a itself doesn't need to depend on.
This can also let us have `zig fmt` in stage1 without the overhead
of child process execution, and without the initial compilation delay
before it gets cached.
See #1964
This removes the compiler_rt.setXmm0 hack. Instead, for
the functions that use i128 or u128 in their parameter and
return types, we use `@Vector(2, u64)` which generates
the LLVM IR `<2 x i64>` type that matches what Clang
generates for `typedef int ti_int __attribute__ ((mode (TI)))`
when targeting Windows x86_64.
The flag is for generating correct arm-thumb interwork veneers in the
assembly code __aeabi_{memcpy,memset,etc} functions.
Armv6m only does thumb code generation regardless of whether arm or
thumb is selected and armv6t2 uses the newer thumb 2 set. All other
versions that zig supports pre-armv7 need the veneers and hence the
flag. Armv5 is actually armv5t.
Relevant code from clang/lib/Basic/Targets/Arm.cpp
```c
bool ARMTargetInfo::isThumb() const {
return ArchISA == llvm::ARM::ISAKind::THUMB;
}
bool ARMTargetInfo::supportsThumb() const {
return CPUAttr.count('T') || ArchVersion >= 6;
}
bool ARMTargetInfo::supportsThumb2() const {
return CPUAttr.equals("6T2") ||
(ArchVersion >= 7 && !CPUAttr.equals("8M_BASE"));
}
```

* Fixes to divsf3
Embarrassingly failed to notice a section that was unchanged from where
it was copied from mulXf3.zig. The test cases for this function series
div{s,d,t}f3 are very incomplete and don't exercise all code paths.
Remove unnecessary switch from divsf3 left during development from when
I tried to make it generic to support f32, f64, and f128 in one go.
Make runtime safety dependent on whether a test is being run.
* divsf3: switch plus to minus
This fixes comes thanks to Rich Felker from the musl libc project,
who gave me this crucial information:
"to satisfy the abi, your init code has to write the same value
to that memory location as the value passed to the [arch_prctl]
syscall"
This commit also changes the rules for when to build statically
by default. When building objects and static libraries, position
independent code is disabled if no libraries will be dynamically
linked and the target does not require position independent code.
closes#2063
* in Zig build scripts, getOutputPath() is no longer a valid function
to call, unless setOutputDir() was used, or within a custom make()
function. Instead there is more convenient API to use which takes
advantage of the caching system. Search this commit diff for
`exe.run()` for an example.
* Zig build by default enables caching. All build artifacts will go
into zig-cache. If you want to access build artifacts in a convenient
location, it is recommended to add an `install` step. Otherwise
you can use the `run()` API mentioned above to execute programs
directly from their location in the cache. Closes#330.
`addSystemCommand` is available for programs not built with Zig
build.
* Please note that Zig does no cache evicting yet. You may have to
manually delete zig-cache directories periodically to keep disk
usage down. It's planned for this to be a simple Least Recently
Used eviction system eventually.
* `--output`, `--output-lib`, and `--output-h` are removed. Instead,
use `--output-dir` which defaults to the current working directory.
Or take advantage of `--cache on`, which will print the main output
path to stdout, and the other artifacts will be in the same directory
with predictable file names. `--disable-gen-h` is available when
one wants to prevent .h file generation.
* `@cImport` is always independently cached now. Closes#2015.
It always writes the generated Zig code to disk which makes debug
info and compile errors better. No more "TODO: remember C source
location to display here"
* Fix .d file parsing. (Fixes the MacOS CI failure)
* Zig no longer creates "temporary files" other than inside a
zig-cache directory.
This breaks the CLI API that Godbolt uses. The suggested new invocation
can be found in this commit diff, in the changes to `test/cli.zig`.
closes#2024
there's a new cli option `--main-pkg-path` which you can use to choose
a different root package directory besides the one inferred from the
root source file
and a corresponding build.zig API:
foo.setMainPkgPath(path)
* CLI: `-target [name]` instead of `--target-*` args.
This matches clang's API.
* `builtin.Environ` renamed to `builtin.Abi`
- likewise `builtin.environ` renamed to `builtin.abi`
* stop hiding the concept of sub-arch. closes#1526
* `zig targets` only shows available targets. closes#438
* include all targets in readme, even those that don't
print with `zig targets` but note they are Tier 4
* refactor target.cpp and make the naming conventions
more consistent
* introduce the concept of a "default C ABI" for a given
OS/Arch combo. As a rule of thumb, if the system compiler
is clang or gcc then the default C ABI is the gnu ABI.
Previously, std.debug.assert would `@panic` in test builds,
if the assertion failed. Now, it's always `unreachable`.
This makes release mode test builds more accurately test
the actual code that will be run.
However this requires tests to call `std.testing.expect`
rather than `std.debug.assert` to make sure output is correct.
Here is the explanation of when to use either one, copied from
the assert doc comments:
Inside a test block, it is best to use the `std.testing` module
rather than assert, because assert may not detect a test failure
in ReleaseFast and ReleaseSafe mode. Outside of a test block, assert
is the correct function to use.
closes#1304
this should actually improve CI times a bit too
See the description at the top of std/os/startup.zig (deleted in this
commit) for a more detailed understanding of what this commit does.
And add std.math.f128_* constants.
The routines are:
__fixdfdi, __fixdfsi, __fixdfti,
__fixsfdi, __fixsfsi, __fixsfti,
__fixtfdi, __fixtfsi, __fixtfti.
These all call fixint which is a generic zig function that does the
conversion:
pub fn fixint(comptime fp_t: type, comptime fixint_t: type, a: fp_t) fixint_t
There are also a set tests:
__fixdfdi_test, __fixdfsi_test, __fixdfti_test,
__fixsfdi_test, __fixsfsi_test, __fixsfti_test,
__fixtfdi_test, __fixtfsi_test, __fixtfti_test.
