* update to the new cache hash API
* std.Target defaultVersionRange moves to std.Target.Os.Tag
* std.Target.Os gains getVersionRange which returns a tagged union
* start the process of splitting Module into Compilation and "zig
module".
- The parts of Module having to do with only compiling zig code are
extracted into ZigModule.zig.
- Next step is to rename Module to Compilation.
- After that rename ZigModule back to Module.
* implement proper cache hash usage when compiling C objects, and
properly manage the file lock of the build artifacts.
* make versions optional to match recent changes to master branch.
* proper cache hash integration for compiling zig code
* proper cache hash integration for linking even when not compiling zig
code.
* ELF LLD linking integrates with the caching system. A comment from
the source code:
Here we want to determine whether we can save time by not invoking LLD when the
output is unchanged. None of the linker options or the object files that are being
linked are in the hash that namespaces the directory we are outputting to. Therefore,
we must hash those now, and the resulting digest will form the "id" of the linking
job we are about to perform.
After a successful link, we store the id in the metadata of a symlink named "id.txt" in
the artifact directory. So, now, we check if this symlink exists, and if it matches
our digest. If so, we can skip linking. Otherwise, we proceed with invoking LLD.
* implement disable_c_depfile option
* add tracy to a few more functions
into smaller exposed components and expose all of them. This makes it
more flexible.
`*const Cache` is now passed in with an open manifest dir handle which
the caller is responsible for managing.
Expose some of the base64 stuff.
Extract the hash helper functions into `HashHelper` and add some more
methods such as addOptional and addListOfFiles.
Add `CacheHash.toOwnedLock` so that you can deinitialize everything
except the open file handle which represents the file system lock on the
build artifacts.
Use ArrayListUnmanaged, saving space per allocated CacheHash.
Avoid 1 memory allocation in hit() with a static buffer.
hit() returns a bool; caller code is responsible for calling final() in
either case. This is a simpler and easier to use API.
writeManifest() is no longer called from deinit() with errors ignored.
Speed up a little the slicing-by-8 code path by replacing the
(load+shift+xor)*4 sequence with a single u32 load plus a xor.
Before:
```
iterative: 1018 MiB/s [000000006c3b110d]
small keys: 1075 MiB/s [0035bf3dcac00000]
```
After:
```
iterative: 1114 MiB/s [000000006c3b110d]
small keys: 1324 MiB/s [0035bf3dcac00000]
```
It turns out that the kernel won't read or write more than 0x7fffffff
bytes in a single call, failing with EINVAL when trying to do so.
Adjust the limit and curse whoever is responsible for this.
Closes#6332
Master branch added in the concept of library versioning being optional
to main.cpp. It will need to be re-added into this branch before merging
back into master.
* implement --debug-cc and --debug-link
* implement C source files having extra flags
- TODO a way to pass them on the CLI
* introduce the Directory abstraction which contains both an open file
descriptor and a file path name. The former is preferred but the
latter is needed when communicating paths over a command line (e.g.
to Clang or LLD).
* use the cache hash to choose an artifact directory
- TODO: use separate cache hash instances for the zig module and
each C object
* Module: introduce the crt_files table for keeping track of built libc
artifacts for linking.
* Add the ability to build 4/6 of the glibc static CRT lib files.
* The zig-cache directory is now passed as a parameter to Module.
* Implement the CLI logic of -femit-bin and -femit-h
- TODO: respect -fno-emit-bin
- TODO: the emit .h feature
* Add the -fvalgrind, -fstack-check, and --single-threaded CLI options.
* Implement the logic for auto detecting whether to enable PIC,
sanitize-C, stack-check, valgrind, and single-threaded.
* Properly add PIC args (or not) to clang argv.
* Implement renaming clang-compiled object files into their proper
place within the cache artifact directory.
- TODO: std lib needs a proper higher level abstraction for
std.os.renameat.
* Package is cleaned up to use the "Unmanaged" StringHashMap and use the
new Directory abstraction.
* Clean up zig lib directory detection to make proper use of directory
handles.
* Linker code invokes LLD.
- TODO properly deal with the stdout and stderr that we get from it
and expose diagnostics from the Module API that match the expected
error message format.
* Delete the bitrotted LLVM C ABI bindings. We'll resurrect just the
functions we need as we introduce dependencies on them. So far it
only has ZigLLDLink in it.
* Remove dead timer code.
* `zig env` now prints the path to the zig executable as well.
A profiler run showed that the main bottleneck was the naive decoding of
the Huffman codes, replacing it with a nice trick borrowed by Zlib gave
a substantial speedup.
Replacing a `%` with a `and (mask-1)` gave another significant
improvement (yay for low hanging fruits).

This commit changes the behavior of stage1 to emit libfoo.so instead
of libfoo.so.0.0.0 when none of the --ver-major, --ver-minor, or
--ver-patch flags are set.
It also makes it possible to create unversioned shared libraries
using the zig build system, changing the version parameter of
addSharedLibrary() to a tagged union.
std.event.Loop does not yet work in single threaded builds. However,
using evented io on a single thread can be very convenient. This commit
allows settind @import("root").event_loop_mode to .single_threaded
in order to allow this without reimplementing the startup code in
start.zig
* add `zig libc` command
* add `--libc` CLI and integrate it with Module and linker code
* implement libc detection and paths resolution
* port LLD ELF linker line construction to stage2
* integrate dynamic linker option into Module and linker code
* implement default link_mode detection and error handling if
user requests static when it cannot be fulfilled
* integrate more linker options
* implement detection of .so.X.Y.Z file extension as a shared object
file. nice try, you can't fool me.
* correct usage text for -dynamic and -static
For when linking with LLD, we always create an object rather than going
straight to the executable. Next step is putting this object on the LLD
linker line.
* add target_util.zig which has ported code from src/target.cpp
* Module gains an arena that owns memory used during initialization
that has the same lifetime as the Module. Useful for constructing
file paths and lists of strings that have mixed lifetimes.
- The Module memory itself is allocated in this arena. init/deinit
are modified to be create/destroy.
- root_name moves to the arena and no longer needs manual free
* implement the ability to invoke `zig clang` as a subprocess
- there are lots of TODOs that should be solved before merging
* Module now requires a Random object and zig_lib_dir
* Module now requires a path to its own executable or any zig
executable that can do `zig clang`.
* Wire up more CLI options.
* Module creates "zig-cache" directory and "tmp" and "o" subdirectories
("h" is created by the cache_hash)
* stubbed out some of the things linker code needs to do with TODO
prints
* delete dead code for computing compiler id. the previous commit
eliminated the need for it.
* add `zig translate-c` CLI option but it's not fully hooked up yet.
It should be possible for this to be fully wired up before merging
this branch.
* `zig targets` now uses canonical data for available_libcs
Instead, append a "dirty suffix" to the version string when there are
dirty git changes and use the version string as the compiler id.
This avoids a dependency on the cache hash system, and saves time on
first invocation of the compiler since it does not have to compute its
compiler id. It also saves time by not having to check the cache for a
saved compiler id.
* std.cache_hash exposes Hasher type
* std.cache_hash makes hasher_init a global const
* std.cache_hash supports cloning so that clones can share the same
open manifest dir handle as well as fork from shared hasher state
* start to populate the cache_hash for stage2 builds
* remove a footgun from std.cache_hash add function
* get rid of std.Target.ObjectFormat.unknown
* rework stage2 logic for resolving output artifact names by adding
object_format as an optional parameter to std.zig.binNameAlloc
* support -Denable-llvm in stage2 tests
* Module supports the use case when there are no .zig files
* introduce c_object_table and failed_c_objects to Module
* propagate many new kinds of data from CLI into Module and into
linker.Options
* introduce -fLLVM, -fLLD, -fClang and their -fno- counterparts.
closes#6251.
- add logic for choosing when to use LLD or zig's self-hosted linker
* stub code for implementing invoking Clang to build C objects
* add -femit-h, -femit-h=foo, and -fno-emit-h CLI options
