* 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.
* add reserved field to match musl struct definition so that
it will work with musl libc.
* add libc getrusage so that it will work with libc
what's not done in this branch is:
* test coverage. See #1629, which should also aim to provide
general test coverage for the std lib.
* rusage struct bits for non-linux operating systems
