The big endian RISC-V effort is mostly driven by MIPS (the company) which is
pivoting to RISC-V, and presumably needs a big endian variant to fill the niche
that big endian MIPS (the ISA) did.
GCC already supports these targets, but LLVM support will only appear in 22;
this commit just adds the necessary target knowledge and checks on our end.
Basically everything that has a direct replacement or no uses left.
Notable omissions:
- std.ArrayHashMap: Too much fallout, needs a separate cleanup.
- std.debug.runtime_safety: Too much fallout.
- std.heap.GeneralPurposeAllocator: Lots of references to it remain, not
a simple find and replace as "debug allocator" is not equivalent to
"general purpose allocator".
- std.io.Reader: Is being reworked at the moment.
- std.unicode.utf8Decode(): No replacement, needs a new API first.
- Manifest backwards compat options: Removal would break test data used
by TestFetchBuilder.
- panic handler needs to be a namespace: Many tests still rely on it
being a function, needs a separate cleanup.
added adapter to AnyWriter and GenericWriter to help bridge the gap
between old and new API
make std.testing.expectFmt work at compile-time
std.fmt no longer has a dependency on std.unicode. Formatted printing
was never properly unicode-aware. Now it no longer pretends to be.

preparing to rearrange std.io namespace into an interface
how to upgrade:
std.io.getStdIn() -> std.fs.File.stdin()
std.io.getStdOut() -> std.fs.File.stdout()
std.io.getStdErr() -> std.fs.File.stderr()
Also remove `@frameSize`, closing #3654.
While the other machinery might remain depending on #23446, it is
settled that there will not be `async`/ `await` keywords in the
language.
Nothing interesting here; literally just the bare minimum so I can work on this
on and off in a branch without worrying about merge conflicts in the non-backend
code.
Functions like isMinGW() and isGnuLibC() have a good reason to exist: They look
at multiple components of the target. But functions like isWasm(), isDarwin(),
isGnu(), etc only exist to save 4-8 characters. I don't think this is a good
enough reason to keep them, especially given that:
* It's not immediately obvious to a reader whether target.isDarwin() means the
same thing as target.os.tag.isDarwin() precisely because isMinGW() and similar
functions *do* look at multiple components.
* It's not clear where we would draw the line. The logical conclusion before
this commit would be to also wrap Arch.isX86(), Os.Tag.isSolarish(),
Abi.isOpenHarmony(), etc... this obviously quickly gets out of hand.
* It's nice to just have a single correct way of doing something.
* arm_apcs is the long dead "OABI" which we never had working support for.
* arm_aapcs16_vfp is for arm-watchos-none which is a dead target that we've
dropped support for.
* `std.builtin.Panic` -> `std.builtin.panic`, because it is a namespace.
* `root.Panic` -> `root.panic` for the same reason. There are type
checks so that we still allow the legacy `pub fn panic` strategy in
the 0.14.0 release.
* `std.debug.SimplePanic` -> `std.debug.simple_panic`, same reason.
* `std.debug.NoPanic` -> `std.debug.no_panic`, same reason.
* `std.debug.FormattedPanic` is now a function `std.debug.FullPanic`
which takes as input a `panicFn` and returns a namespace with all the
panic functions. This handles the incredibly common case of just
wanting to override how the message is printed, whilst keeping nice
formatted panics.
* Remove `std.builtin.panic.messages`; now, every safety panic has its
own function. This reduces binary bloat, as calls to these functions
no longer need to prepare any arguments (aside from the error return
trace).
* Remove some legacy declarations, since a zig1.wasm update has
happened. Most of these were related to the panic handler, but a quick
grep for "zig1" brought up a couple more results too.
Also, add some missing type checks to Sema.
Resolves: #22584
formatted -> full
It's now unnecessary to explicitly pass this, because it receives an
implicit error trace parameter anyway, so can just use
`@errorReturnTrace()`. The previous commit updated Sema to expect this
new interface. This saves an AIR instruction at all `returnError` call
sites.
For representing struct field default values and array/pointer type
sentinel values, we use `*const anyopaque`, since there is no way for
`std.builtin.Type.StructField` etc to refer back to its `type` field.
However, when introspecting a type, this is quite awkward due to the
pointer casts necessary.
As such, this commit renames the `sentinel` fields to `sentinel_ptr`,
and the `default_value` field to `default_value_ptr`, and introduces
helper methods `sentinel()` and `defaultValue()` to load the values.
These methods are marked as `inline` because their return value, which
is always comptime-known, is very often required at comptime by use
sites, so this avoids having to annotate such calls with `comptime`.
This is a breaking change, although note that 0.14.0 is already a
breaking release for all users of `std.builtin.Type` due to the union
fields being renamed.
This matches established naming conventions. Now is an opportune time to
make this change, since we're already performing breaking changes to
`std.builtin.Type`.
The goal here is to support both levels of unwind tables (sync and async) in
zig cc and zig build. Previously, the LLVM backend always used async tables
while zig cc was partially influenced by whatever was Clang's default.
NetBSD has long since migrated to the EABI and doesn't officially support the
OABI anymore. The ABI selection logic in LLVM only actually picks OABI for
NetBSD as a last resort if the EABI isn't selected. That fallback is likely to
be removed in the future. So just remove this support in Zig entirely.
While here, I also removed some leftover 32-bit Arm and 32-bit x86 code for
Apple targets, which are long dead and unsupported by Zig.
- Rename GPU address spaces to match with SPIR-V spec.
- Emit `Block` Decoration for Uniform/PushConstant variables.
- Don't emit `OpTypeForwardPointer` for non-opencl targets.
(there's still a false-positive about recursive structs)
