This reverts commit ec7d7a5b14540ea3b2bab9f11318630338467965, reversing
changes made to 81c441f8855d4c58f0b2ff86d3d007cf0bf395d3.
It looks like this broke colors in Windows Command Prompt (#3147)
and this method of detecting native C ABI isn't working well (#3121).
Zig provides a libc for the GNU C ABI on Windows, and cannot (at least
yet) provide one for the MSVC C ABI. However when not linking libc,
zig has no problem targeting MSVC as the C ABI. And this should be the
default.
Related: #2911
* fixed --verbose-cc printing an extra "zig" before the rest of
the command line
* windows-gnu targets use libfoo.a, foo.o extensions to match mingw
conventions.
windows.h has files such as pshpack1.h which do #pragma packing,
triggering a clang warning. So for this target, this warning is
disabled.
this commit also improves the error message printed when no libc can be
used, printing the "zig triple" rather than the "llvm triple".
Fixes glibc_version being set to garbage. I've made this mistake
before so this is an attempt to prevent future bugs. Zig doesn't
have zero-initialization, so are we being a hypocrite by using this
C feature? No, because C doesn't have the feature that forces you to
initialize all fields. That would have prevented this bug every single
time.
* build-exe does include the startup code that supplies _start for the
wasm32-freestanding target. Previously this did not occur because
of logic excluding "freestanding".
* build-lib for wasm32-freestanding target gets linked by LLD. To avoid
infinite recursion, compiler_rt and zig libc are built as objects
rather than libraries.
- no "lib" prefix and ".wasm" extension instead of ".a". Rather than
build-lib foo.zig producing "libfoo.a", now it produces "foo.wasm".
* go back to using `.o` extension for webassembly objects
* zig libc only provides _start symbol for wasm when linking libc.
* rename std/special/builtin.zig to std/special/c.zig
not to be confused with @import("builtin") which is entirely
different, this is zig's multi-target libc implementation.
* WebAssembly: build-exe is for executables which have a main().
build-lib is for building libraries of functions to use from,
for example, a web browser environment.
- for now pass --export-all for libraries when there are any
C objects because we have no way to detect the list of exports
when compiling C code.
- stop passing --no-entry for executables. if you want --no-entry
then use build-lib.
* make the "musl" ABI the default ABI for wasm32-freestanding.
* zig provides libc for wasm32-freestanding-musl.
`--static` is no longer an option. Instead, Zig makes things as static
as possible by default. `-dynamic` can be used to choose a dynamic
library rather than a static one.
`--enable-pic` is a new option. Usually it will be enabled
automatically, but in the case of build-exe with no dynamic libraries
on Linux or freestanding, Zig chooses off by default.

* in Zig build scripts, getOutputPath() is no longer a valid function
to call, unless setOutputDir() was used, or within a custom make()
function. Instead there is more convenient API to use which takes
advantage of the caching system. Search this commit diff for
`exe.run()` for an example.
* Zig build by default enables caching. All build artifacts will go
into zig-cache. If you want to access build artifacts in a convenient
location, it is recommended to add an `install` step. Otherwise
you can use the `run()` API mentioned above to execute programs
directly from their location in the cache. Closes#330.
`addSystemCommand` is available for programs not built with Zig
build.
* Please note that Zig does no cache evicting yet. You may have to
manually delete zig-cache directories periodically to keep disk
usage down. It's planned for this to be a simple Least Recently
Used eviction system eventually.
* `--output`, `--output-lib`, and `--output-h` are removed. Instead,
use `--output-dir` which defaults to the current working directory.
Or take advantage of `--cache on`, which will print the main output
path to stdout, and the other artifacts will be in the same directory
with predictable file names. `--disable-gen-h` is available when
one wants to prevent .h file generation.
* `@cImport` is always independently cached now. Closes#2015.
It always writes the generated Zig code to disk which makes debug
info and compile errors better. No more "TODO: remember C source
location to display here"
* Fix .d file parsing. (Fixes the MacOS CI failure)
* Zig no longer creates "temporary files" other than inside a
zig-cache directory.
This breaks the CLI API that Godbolt uses. The suggested new invocation
can be found in this commit diff, in the changes to `test/cli.zig`.
