* move stage2.cpp code into zig0.cpp for simplicity
* add -ftime-report and some more CLI options to stage2
* stage2 compites the llvm cpu features string
* classifyFileExt understands more file extensions
* correction to generateBuiltinZigSource using the wrong allocator
(thanks dbandstra!)
* stage2 is now able to build hello.zig into hello.o using stage1 as a
library however it fails linking due to missing compiler-rt
* remove dead code
* simplify zig0 builtin.zig source
* fix not resolving builtin.zig source path causing duplicate imports
* fix stage1.h not being valid C code
* fix stage2.h not being valid C code
Deleted 16,000+ lines of c++ code, including:
* an implementation of blake hashing
* the cache hash system
* compiler.cpp
* all the linking code, and everything having to do with building
glibc, musl, and mingw-w64
* much of the stage1 compiler internals got slimmed down since it
now assumes it is always outputting an object file.
More stuff:
* stage1 is now built with a different strategy: we have a tiny
zig0.cpp which is a slimmed down version of what stage1 main.cpp used
to be. Its only purpose is to build stage2 zig code into an object
file, which is then linked by the host build system (cmake) into
stage1. zig0.cpp uses the same C API that stage2 now has access to,
so that stage2 zig code can call into stage1 c++ code.
- stage1.h is
- stage2.h is
- stage1.zig is the main entry point for the Zig/C++
hybrid compiler. It has the functions exported from Zig, called
in C++, and bindings for the functions exported from C++, called
from Zig.
* removed the memory profiling instrumentation from stage1.
Abandon ship!
* Re-added the sections to the README about how to build stage2 and
stage3.
* stage2 now knows as a comptime boolean whether it is being compiled
as part of stage1 or as stage2.
- TODO use this flag to call into stage1 for compiling zig code.
* introduce -fdll-export-fns and -fno-dll-export-fns and clarify
its relationship to link_mode (static/dynamic)
* implement depending on LLVM to detect native target cpu features when
LLVM extensions are enabled and zig lacks CPU feature detection for
that target architecture.
* C importing is broken, will need some stage2 support to function
again.
Without this, building from source caused:
CommandLine Error: Option 'mc-relax-all' registered more than once!
LLVM ERROR: inconsistency in registered CommandLine options
This is due to LLVM static libs compiled in multiple times. But without
the LLVM static libs on the linker line, it caused undefined symbol
linker errors.
So our hands are tied. Homebrew users will have to specify
`-DZIG_PREFER_CLANG_CPP_DYLIB`.
* don't unconditionally pass -lz3 for mingw builds. If mingw builds
require this then the llvm-config executable should put it as part of
--system-libs. If there is a bug and it does not do that, and we need
a workaround, then the workaround should be an explicit cmake option.
* don't link libstage2.a against -lntdll. This causes zig to set
`builtin.link_mode == .Dynamic` and include the TLS definitions,
which then collide with the mingw-w64 symbols. This should probably
be addressed separately, but for now this solves the problem and
there is no reason to link a static library against a DLL.
* Findllvm.cmake no longer treats the libraries as "optional" and will
emit a cmake error if one is not found. Additionally, the
not-required LLVM library LLVMTableGen is omitted.
Make fallthrough an error when compiler supports it. This requires a new
macro that is defined with such compilers to be used as a statement, at
all fallthrough sites:
switch (...) {
case 0:
...
ZIG_FALLTHROUGH;
case 1:
...
break;
default:
...
break;
}
If we ever move to C++17 as minimal requirement, then the macro can be
replaced with `[[fallthrough]];` at statement sites.
When the build.zig logic to build libzigstage2 was converted to a cmake
command, it neglected to use baseline CPU features rather than compiling
with native features.
This adds a hard coded flag `-mcpu=baseline` which can be used to detect
the native target, but mark it as non-native so that it does not get the
CPU features specific to the host used to compile libzigstage2.
Full `-mcpu` support is happening in the upcoming pull request #4509,
and so this "quick fix" will be cleaned up in that branch, before it is
merged to master.
closes#4506
when both `--cache on` and `--output-dir` parameters
are provided. This prevents re-linking `zig` with every
`make` even when `libzigstage2.a` was unchanged.
Rather than `zig0 build ...` the build now does
`zig0 build-lib ...`, avoiding the requirement of linking the build
script, and thus avoiding the requirement of finding native libc,
for systems where libc is the system ABI.
* libc_installation.cpp is deleted.
src-self-hosted/libc_installation.zig is now used for both stage1 and
stage2 compilers.
* (breaking) move `std.fs.File.access` to `std.fs.Dir.access`. The API
now encourages use with an open directory handle.
* Add `std.os.faccessat` and related functions.
* Deprecate the "C" suffix naming convention for null-terminated
parameters. "C" should be used when it is related to libc. However
null-terminated parameters often have to do with the native system
ABI rather than libc. "Z" suffix is the new convention. For example,
`std.os.openC` is deprecated in favor of `std.os.openZ`.
* Add `std.mem.dupeZ` for using an allocator to copy memory and add a
null terminator.
* Remove dead struct field `std.ChildProcess.llnode`.
* Introduce `std.event.Batch`. This API allows expressing concurrency
without forcing code to be async. It requires no Allocator and does
not introduce any failure conditions. However it is not thread-safe.
* There is now an ongoing experiment to transition away from
`std.event.Group` in favor of `std.event.Batch`.
* `std.os.execvpeC` calls `getenvZ` rather than `getenv`. This is
slightly more efficient on most systems, and works around a
limitation of `getenv` lack of integration with libc.
* (breaking) `std.os.AccessError` gains `FileBusy`, `SymLinkLoop`, and
`ReadOnlyFileSystem`. Previously these error codes were all reported
as `PermissionDenied`.
* Add `std.Target.isDragonFlyBSD`.
* stage2: access to the windows_sdk functions is done with a manually
maintained .zig binding file instead of `@cImport`.
* Update src-self-hosted/libc_installation.zig with all the
improvements that stage1 has seen to src/libc_installation.cpp until
now. In addition, it now takes advantage of Batch so that evented I/O
mode takes advantage of concurrency, but it still works in blocking
I/O mode, which is how it is used in stage1.

Michael - I appreciate what you did here, making the configure script
work better for people in practice. When it was checking the build type
against a whitelist, I think it was worth it. However, now that we are
supporting systems which use non-standard cmake build modes, I don't
think this case-mismatch detection thing is worth it. It's starting to
get to the point where it's a lot of complication for very little
benefit. Besides, cmake is not case sensitive. If we support
non-standard build modes, then we would need to support a hypothetical
build mode of `release` (lower case).
So let's just remove this and rely on people to use the build system
correctly (like they will have to do when building any cmake project
from source).
Various maintainers pass custom build types and we don't need to check
those. We are interested only in checking and diagnosing common errors
for Zig project supported types.
Check is now limited to look for case-mismatch only on the well-known
values { Debug, Release, RelWithDebInfo, MinSizeRel }.
- split util_base.hpp from util.hpp
- new namespaces: `mem` and `heap`
- new `mem::Allocator` interface
- new `heap::CAllocator` impl with global `heap::c_allocator`
- new `heap::ArenaAllocator` impl
- new `mem::TypeInfo` extracts names without RTTI
- name extraction is enabled w/ ZIG_ENABLE_MEM_PROFILE=1
- new `mem::List` takes explicit `Allocator&` parameter
- new `mem::HashMap` takes explicit `Allocator&` parameter
- add Codegen.pass1_arena and use for all `ZigValue` allocs
- deinit Codegen.pass1_arena early in `zig_llvm_emit_output()`
- zig CMakeLists.txt CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE string comparisons are case-sensitive
- cmake itself is unclear about how tolerant it is for case-mismatches
- add CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE guard in CMakeLists.txt to force exact matches
- `make` or `ninja` will not build but not install
- `make install` or `ninja install` will build __and__ install
Only for build system generator Visual Studio, specify the following
to disable installation of lib files:
ZIG_SKIP_INSTALL_LIB_FILES=ON
During build an empty .o on macOS/Xcode emits warning:
ranlib: file: zig_cpp/libcompiler.a(memory_profiling.cpp.o) has no symbols
ranlib: file: zig_cpp/libcompiler.a(memory_profiling.cpp.o) has no symbols
