* add a --system-linker-hack command line parameter to work around
poor LLD macho code. See #1535
* build.zig correctly handles static as well as dynamic dependencies
when building the self hosted compiler.
- no more unnecessary libxml2 dependency
- a static build on macos produces a completely static self-hosted
compiler for macos (except for libSystem as intended).
* introduce --disable-pic option which can generally be allowed to be
the default. compiler_rt.a and builtin.a get this option when you
build a static executable.
* compiler_rt and builtin libraries are not built for build-lib
--static
* posix_spawn instead of fork/execv
* disable the error limit on LLD. Fixes the blank lines printed
Pass --no-entry instead of --relocatable to lld. Both stop a reference
to the _start() entry point from being emitted but --relocatable also
prevents public symbols from being exported when creating an executable.
* add almost all the input parameter state to the hash
- missing items are the detected MSVC installation on Windows
and detected libc installation on POSIX
- also missing are C files and .h files that libclang finds
* artifacts are created in global cache directory instead of
zig-cache.
- exception: builtin.zig is still in zig-cache
* zig run uses the new cache correctly
* zig run uses execv on posix systems
Add wasm32 support to the build-obj, build-exe and build-lib commands
of the stage 1 compiler. Wasm64 should work transparently once it's
supported in upstream LLVM.
To export a function:
// lib.zig - for exposition, not necessary for this example
pub use @import("add.zig");
// add.zig
export fn add(a: i32, b: i32) i32 {
return a + b;
}
To import a function:
// cube.zig
extern fn square(x: i32) i32;
export fn cube(x: i32) i32 {
return x * square(x);
}
this removes the following configure options:
* ZIG_LIBC_LIB_DIR
* ZIG_LIBC_STATIC_LIB_DIR
* ZIG_LIBC_INCLUDE_DIR
* ZIG_DYNAMIC_LINKER
* ZIG_EACH_LIB_RPATH
* zig's reliance on CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX
these options are still available as command line options, however,
the default will attempt to execute the system's C compiler to
collect system defaults for these values.

Fixes: #517
I added a few things to allow zig to link with the CRT properly both statically and dynamically. In Visual Studio 2017, Microsoft changed how the c-runtime is factored again. With this change, they also added a COM interface to allow you to query the respective Visual Studio instance for two of them. This does that and also falls back on a registry query for 2015 support. If you're using a Visual Studio instance older than 2015, you'll have to use the existing options available with the zig compiler. Changes are listed below along with a general description of the changes.
all_types.cpp:
The separate variables for msvc/kern32 have been removed and all win32 libc directory paths have been combined into a ZigList since we're querying more than two directories and differentiating one from another doesn't matter to lld.
analyze.cpp:
The existing functions were extended to support querying libc libs & libc headers at runtime.
codegen.cpp/hpp:
Microsoft uses the new 'Universal C Runtime' name now. Doesn't matter from a functionality standpoint. I left the compiler switches as is to not introduce any breaking changes.
link.cpp:
We're linking 4 libs and generating another in order to support the UCRT.
Dynamic: msvcrt/d, vcruntime/d, ucrt/d, legacy_stdio_definitions.lib
Static: libcmt/d, libvcruntime/d libucrt/d, legacy_stdio_definitions.lib
main.cpp:
Update function call names.
os.cpp/hpp:
COM/Registry interface for querying Windows UCRT/SDK.

the optimizer was deleting compiler_rt symbols, so I changed
the linkage type from LinkOnce to Weak
also changed LinkOnce to mean linkonce_odr in llvm and
Weak to mean weak_odr in llvm.
