This reverts commit da94227f78, reversing
changes made to 8f943b3d33.
I was against this change originally, but decided to approve it to keep
an open mind. After a year of trying it in practice, I firmly believe
that the previous way of doing it was better.
This commit introduces tools/update_glibc.zig to update the start files
for next time.
Some notable changes in recent glibc:
* abi-note.S has been changed to abi-note.c but we resist the change to
keep it easier to compile the start files.
* elf-init.c has been deleted upstream. Further testing should be done
to verify that binaries against glibc omitting elf-init.c still run
properly on oldel glibc linux systems.
Closes#4926
- hash/eql functions moved into a Context object
- *Context functions pass an explicit context
- *Adapted functions pass specialized keys and contexts
- new getPtr() function returns a pointer to value
- remove functions renamed to fetchRemove
- new remove functions return bool
- removeAssertDiscard deleted, use assert(remove(...)) instead
- Keys and values are stored in separate arrays
- Entry is now {*K, *V}, the new KV is {K, V}
- BufSet/BufMap functions renamed to match other set/map types
- fixed iterating-while-modifying bug in src/link/C.zig
This is the beginning of supporting minimum GLIBC version as part of the
target. See #2509 for the motivation.
The dummy libc zig files are removed. A future commit will build them
on-the-fly, using the generated text files generated by the new tool,
which are checked into source control and distributed along with zig.
These generated text files are, together, 142KB (20KB gzipped).
Compare that to a naive bundling of the .abilist files, which would be
2.2MiB (375KB gzipped).
This is based on glibc 2.29.
