Zig now supports a more fine-grained sense of what is native and what is
not. Some examples:
This is now allowed:
-target native
Different OS but native CPU, default Windows C ABI:
-target native-windows
This could be useful for example when running in Wine.
Different CPU but native OS, native C ABI.
-target x86_64-native -mcpu=skylake
Different C ABI but otherwise native target:
-target native-native-musl
-target native-native-gnu
Lots of breaking changes to related std lib APIs.
Calls to getOs() will need to be changed to getOsTag().
Calls to getArch() will need to be changed to getCpuArch().
Usage of Target.Cross and Target.Native need to be updated to use
CrossTarget API.
`std.build.Builder.standardTargetOptions` is changed to accept its
parameters as a struct with default values. It now has the ability to
specify a whitelist of targets allowed, as well as the default target.
Rather than two different ways of collecting the target, it's now always
a string that is validated, and prints helpful diagnostics for invalid
targets. This feature should now be actually useful, and contributions
welcome to further improve the user experience.
`std.build.LibExeObjStep.setTheTarget` is removed.
`std.build.LibExeObjStep.setTarget` is updated to take a CrossTarget
parameter.
`std.build.LibExeObjStep.setTargetGLibC` is removed. glibc versions are
handled in the CrossTarget API and can be specified with the `-target`
triple.
`std.builtin.Version` gains a `format` method.
* re-introduce `std.build.Target` which is distinct from `std.Target`.
`std.build.Target` wraps `std.Target` so that it can be annotated as
"the native target" or an explicitly specified target.
* `std.Target.Os` is moved to `std.Target.Os.Tag`. The former is now a
struct which has the tag as well as version range information.
* `std.elf` gains some more ELF header constants.
* `std.Target.parse` gains the ability to parse operating system
version ranges as well as glibc version.
* Added `std.Target.isGnuLibC()`.
* self-hosted dynamic linker detection and glibc version detection.
This also adds the improved logic using `/usr/bin/env` rather than
invoking the system C compiler to find the dynamic linker when zig
is statically linked. Related: #2084
Note: this `/usr/bin/env` code is work-in-progress.
* `-target-glibc` CLI option is removed in favor of the new `-target`
syntax. Example: `-target x86_64-linux-gnu.2.27`
closes#1907
* Correctly fold ptrToInt on optional types
* Generate null as ConstPtrSpecialNull in intToPtr
* Correctly stop ptrToInt on ?*T where T is zero-sized
Closes#4535
This was deceptive. It was always meant to be sort of a "GNU readline"
sort of thing where it provides a Command Line Interface to input text.
However that functionality did not exist and it was basically a red
herring for people trying to read line-delimited input from a stream.
In this commit the API is deleted, so that people can find the proper
API more easily.
A CLI text input abstraction would be useful but may not even need to be
in the standard library. As you can see in this commit, the guess_number
CLI game gets by just fine by using `std.fs.File.read`.
in favor of CPU features. Also rearrange the `std.Target`
data structure.
* note: `@import("builtin")` was already deprecated in favor of
`@import("std").builtin`.
* `std.builtin.arch` is now deprecated in favor of
`std.builtin.cpu.arch`.
* `std.Target.CpuFeatures.Cpu` is now `std.Target.Cpu.Model`.
* `std.Target.CpuFeatures` is now `std.Target.Cpu`.
* `std.Target` no longer has an `arch` field. Instead it has a
`cpu` field, which has `arch`, `model`, and `features`.
* `std.Target` no longer has a `cpu_features` field.
* `std.Target.Arch` is moved to `std.Target.Cpu.Arch` and
it is an enum instead of a tagged union.
* `std.Target.parseOs` is moved to `std.Target.Os.parse`.
* `std.Target.parseAbi` is moved to `std.Target.Abi.parse`.
* `std.Target.parseArchSub` is only for arch now and moved
to `std.Target.Cpu.Arch.parse`.
* `std.Target.parse` is improved to accept CPU name and features.
* `std.Target.Arch.getBaselineCpuFeatures` is moved to
`std.Target.Cpu.baseline`.
* `std.Target.allCpus` is renamed to `std.Target.allCpuModels`.
* `std.Target.defaultAbi` is moved to `std.Target.Abi.default`.
* Significant cleanup of aarch64 and arm CPU features, resulting in
the needed bit count for cpu feature set going from 174 to 138.
* Add `std.Target.Cpu.Feature.Set.addFeatureSet` for merging
feature sets together.
`-target-feature` and `-target-cpu` are removed in favor of
`-mcpu`, to conform to established conventions, and it gains
additional power to support cpu features. The syntax is:
-mcpu=name+on1+on2-off1-off2
