* In-progress os.ChildProcess.spawn implementation. See #204
* Add explicit cast from integer to error. Closes#294
* fix casting from error to integer
* fix compiler crash when initializing variable to undefined
with no type
* `zig build --export [obj|lib|exe]` changed to `zig build_obj`,
`zig build_lib` and `zig build_exe` respectively.
* `--name` parameter is optional when it can be inferred from the
root source filename. closes#207
* `zig build` now looks for `build.zig` which interacts with
`std.build.Builder` to describe the targets, and then the zig
build system prints TODO: build these targets. See #204
* add `@bitcast` which is mainly used for pointer reinterpret
casting and make explicit casting not do pointer reinterpretation.
Closes#290
* fix debug info for byval parameters
* sort command line help options
* `std.debug.panic` supports format string printing
* add `std.mem.IncrementingAllocator`
* fix const ptr to a variable with data changing at runtime.
closes#289
* introduce zigrt file. it contains only weak symbols so that
multiple instances can be merged. it contains __zig_panic
so that multiple .o files can call the same panic function.
* remove `@setFnVisible` builtin and add @setGlobalLinkage builtin
which is more powerful
* add `@panic` builtin function.
* fix collision of symbols with extern prototypes and internal
function names
* add stack protector safety when linking against libc. To add
the safety mechanism without libc requires implementing
Thread Local Storage. See #276
before, when we initialized a variable by copying the
initialization value, it made the internal const value
references point to a duplicate value, resulting in
a phony duplicate global value being updated instead of
the real on. now the behavior is as expected.
thanks to hoppetosse for pointing out this bug on IRC.
adds compile error when passing pointer that is byte-aligned
at the beginning but not the end to a function expecting
a fully byte aligned pointer
closes#261
* `@truncate` builtin allows casting to the same size integer.
It also performs two's complement casting between signed and
unsigned integers.
* The idiomatic way to convert between bytes and numbers is now
`mem.readInt` and `mem.writeInt` instead of an unsafe cast.
It works at compile time, is safer, and looks cleaner.
* Implicitly casting an array to a slice is allowed only if the
slice is const.
* Constant pointer values know if their memory is from a compile-
time constant value or a compile-time variable.
* Cast from [N]u8 to []T no longer allowed, but [N]u8 to []const T
still allowed.
* Fix inability to pass a mutable pointer to comptime variable at
compile-time to a function and have the function modify the
memory pointed to by the pointer.
* Add the `comptime T: type` parameter back to mem.eql. Prevents
accidentally creating instantiations for arrays.
* add `@compileLog(...)` builtin function
- Helps debug code running at compile time
- See #240
* fix crash when there is an error on the start value of a slice
* add implicit cast from int and float types to int and float
literals if the value is known at compile time
* make array concatenation work with slices in addition to
arrays and c string literals
* fix compile error message for something not having field access
* fix crash when `@setDebugSafety()` was called from a
function being evaluated at compile-time
* fix compile-time evaluation of overflow math builtins.
* avoid debug safety panic handler in builtin.o and compiler_rt.o
since we use no debug safety in these modules anyway
* add compiler_rt functions for division on ARM
- Closes#254
* move default panic handler to std.debug so users can
call it manually
* std.io.printf supports a width in the format specifier
remove "unnecessary if statement" error
this "depends on compile variable" code is too hard to validate,
and has false negatives. not worth it right now.
std.str removed, instead use std.mem.
std.mem.eql and std.mem.sliceEql merged and do not require explicit
type argument.
