The names of these functions should probably change, but at least
the semantics are correct now:
* type_is_codegen_pointer - the type is either a fn, ptr, or promise
* get_codegen_ptr_type -
- ?&T and &T returns &T
- ?promise and promise returns promise
- ?fn()void and fn()void returns fn()void
- otherwise returns nullptr
Use std.heap.FixedBufferAllocator combined with
std.heap.DirectAllocator instead.
std.mem.FixedBufferAllocator is moved to std.heap.FixedBufferAllocator
* DirectAllocator does the underlying syscall for every allocation.
* ArenaAllocator takes another allocator as an argument and
allocates bytes up front, falling back to DirectAllocator with
increasingly large allocation sizes, to avoid calling it too often.
Then the entire arena can be freed at once.
The self hosted parser is updated to take advantage of ArenaAllocator
for the AST that it returns. This significantly reduces the complexity
of cleanup code.
docgen and build runner are updated to use the combination of
ArenaAllocator and DirectAllocator instead of IncrementingAllocator,
which is now deprecated in favor of FixedBufferAllocator combined
with DirectAllocator.
The C allocator calls aligned_alloc instead of malloc, in order to
respect the alignment parameter.
Added asserts in Allocator to ensure that implementors of the
interface return slices of the correct size.
Fixed a bug in Allocator when you call realloc to grow the allocation.
* move std.io.File to std.os.File
* add `zig fmt` to self hosted compiler
* introduce std.io.BufferedAtomicFile API
* introduce std.os.AtomicFile API
* add `std.os.default_file_mode`
* change FileMode on posix from being a usize to a u32
* add std.os.File.mode to return mode of an open file
* std.os.copyFile copies the mode from the source file instead of
using the default file mode for the dest file
* move `std.os.line_sep` to `std.cstr.line_sep`
Before we accepted a nullable allocator for some stuff like
opening files. Now we require an allocator.
Use the mem.FixedBufferAllocator pattern if a bound on the amount
to allocate is known.
This also establishes the pattern that usually an allocator is the
first argument to a function (possibly after "self").
fix docs for std.cstr.addNullByte
self hosted compiler:
* only build docs when explicitly asked to
* clean up main
* stub out zig fmt
at - Get the item at the n-th index.
insert - Insert and item into the middle of the list, resizing and copying
existing elements if needed.
insertSlice - Insert a slice into the middle of the list, resizing and
copying existing elements if needed.
Add fallback paths for when the getrandom(2) system call is not
available. Try /dev/urandom first and sysctl(RANDOM_UUID) second.
The sysctl issues a warning in the system logs with some kernels but
that seems like an acceptable tradeoff for the fallback of a fallback.
