add std.os.windows.subsystem
The original issue that #2445 wanted to fix was solved in the previous
commit. However it also exposed the subsystem in the standard library,
which is still useful. So that's done in this commit, and #2445 can be
closed.

ZIG

Zig is an open-source programming language designed for robustness, optimality, and maintainability.

Resources

Building from Source

Build Status

Note that you can download a binary of master branch.

Stage 1: Build Zig from C++ Source Code

Dependencies

POSIX
  • cmake >= 2.8.5
  • gcc >= 5.0.0 or clang >= 3.6.0
  • LLVM, Clang, LLD development libraries == 8.x, compiled with the same gcc or clang version above
Windows
  • cmake >= 2.8.5
  • Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 (version 15.8)
  • LLVM, Clang, LLD development libraries == 8.x, compiled with the same MSVC version above

Instructions

POSIX
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make install
MacOS
brew install cmake llvm@8
brew outdated llvm@8 || brew upgrade llvm@8
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/llvm/8.0.0_1
make install
Windows

Stage 2: Build Self-Hosted Zig from Zig Source Code

Note: Stage 2 compiler is not complete. Beta users of Zig should use the Stage 1 compiler for now.

Dependencies are the same as Stage 1, except now you can use stage 1 to compile Zig code.

bin/zig build --prefix $(pwd)/stage2

This produces ./stage2/bin/zig which can be used for testing and development. Once it is feature complete, it will be used to build stage 3 - the final compiler binary.

Stage 3: Rebuild Self-Hosted Zig Using the Self-Hosted Compiler

Note: Stage 2 compiler is not yet able to build Stage 3. Building Stage 3 is not yet supported.

Once the self-hosted compiler can build itself, this will be the actual compiler binary that we will install to the system. Until then, users should use stage 1.

Debug / Development Build

./stage2/bin/zig build --prefix $(pwd)/stage3

Release / Install Build

./stage2/bin/zig build install -Drelease
