This new name (and the fact that it is a function returning a type) will
make it more clear which use cases are better suited for ArrayList and
which are better suited for ArrayListSentineled.
Also for consistency with ArrayList,
* `append` => `appendSlice`
* `appendByte` => `append`
Thanks daurnimator for pointing out the confusion of std.Buffer.
This caused link errors in c++ code because it was not correct to pass
these flags to child codegens. And that was the only reason to detect
these flags. Otherwise we can safely rely on non-explicitly-detected
flag forwarding.
This is only the first step; it makes zig cc recognize -z and append it to the linker args, but the linker arg parsing doesn't support -z yet so it will just give the warning 'unsupported linker arg: -z'
* `-isystem` instead of `-I` for system include directories
fixes a problem with native system directories interfering with zig's
bundled libc.
* separate Stage2Target.is_native into Stage2Target.is_native_os and
Stage2Target.is_native_cpu.
* The generated options data file is sorted now in a way that
makes sure longer prefixes are first. This prevents collisions
with some parameters.
* Add support for `-fPIC`, `-fno-PIC`, `-nostdlib`, `-shared`,
`-rdynamic`, `-Wl,-soname`, `-Wl,-rpath`
* Better support for `-o`.
* Disable generating h files
* Shared library support.
* Better positional argument support.
* remove deprecated `std.fs.Dir` APIs
* `std.fs.Dir.openDir` now takes a options struct with bool fields for
`access_sub_paths` and `iterate`. It's now much more clear how
opening directories works.
* fixed the std lib and various zig code calling the wrong openDir
function.
* the runtime safety check for dir flags is removed in favor of the
cheaper option of putting a comment on the same line as handling
EBADF / ACCESS_DENIED, since that will show up in stack traces.
* `std.Buffer.print` is removed; use `buffer.outStream().print`
* `std.fmt.count` returns a `u64`
* `std.Fifo.print` is removed; use `fifo.outStream().print`
* `std.fmt.bufPrint` error is renamed from `BufferTooSmall`
to `NoSpaceLeft` to match `std.os.write`.
* `std.io.FixedBufferStream.getWritten` returns mutable buffer
if the buffer is mutable.
The main goal here is to make the function pointers comptime, so that we
don't have to do the crazy stuff with async function frames.
Since InStream, OutStream, and SeekableStream are already generic
across error sets, it's not really worse to make them generic across the
vtable as well.
See #764 for the open issue acknowledging that using generics for these
abstractions is a design flaw.
See #130 for the efforts to make these abstractions non-generic.
This commit also changes the OutStream API so that `write` returns
number of bytes written, and `writeAll` is the one that loops until the
whole buffer is written.
Add std.Target.Cpu.Model.generic which is even more empty than baseline.
CPU model and feature detection uses this rather than baseline.
Rename cpu_detected to cpu_detection_unimplemented and flip the logic.
It can be relied on by stage2.zig to decide whether the LLVM workaround
is needed without also checking the CrossTarget.
Move the CPU detection to after the OS detection, and use the detected
OS for the CPU detection. This is relevant because operating systems
sometimes emulate certain CPU features, so knowing the OS and version is
relevant for determining CPU features.
Prepare for #4592 by passing the CPU arch to the detection code, instead
of having it rely on Target.current.
The CPU model & feature detection logic is modified. Before:
* Detect actual features
* Use as hint when detecting CPU model
* Populate dependencies of CPU model features
* Merge that into the actual features set
After:
* Detect actual features
* Use as hint when detecting CPU model
* Add known CPU model features to actual features
* Detect actual features again, overriding known CPU model features
* Populate dependencies
