- 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()`
no-frame-pointer-elim and no-frame-pointer-elim-non-leaf have been
deprecated for a while in favour of the newer (and clearer)
frame-pointer attribute.
Starting with LLVM10 the old attributes are silently ignored, leading to
no stack traces in debug mode.
* `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.
this was causing unrelated behavior tests to fail.
if this commit is reverted, the docs are good, but `@newStackCall` is
already deprecated in favor of `@call`, supplying the `stack` property.
This makes it so that less memory is used for IR instructions, as well
as catching bugs when one expected one kind of instruction and received
the other.
Previously it was a tagged union which was one of:
* baseline
* a specific CPU
* a set of features
Now, it's possible to have a CPU but also modify the CPU's feature set
on top of that. This is closer to what LLVM does.
This is more correct because Zig's notion of CPUs (and LLVM's) is not
exact CPU models. For example "skylake" is not one very specific model;
there are several different pieces of hardware that match "skylake" that
have different feature sets enabled.
Previously, there was hacky code to deal with result locations and how
they work with regards to comptime values and runtime values. In
addition, there was a hacky "mem_slot" mechanism that managed the memory
for local variables, and acted differently depending on comptime vs
runtime situations. All that is deleted in this commit, and as a result,
result locations code has one less complication.
Importantly, this means that a comptime result location is now passed to
a function when it is evaluated at comptime.
This test causes many regressions, and some of the behavior tests are
disabled (commented out) in this commit. Future commits will re-enable
the tests before merging the branch.
