Changes by Arnd Bergmann have migrated all supported architectures to
use a table for their syscall lists. This removes the need to use the
C pre-processor and simplifies the logic considerably.
All currently supported architectures have been added, with the ones Zig
doesn't support being commented out. Speaking of; OpenRisc has been
enabled for generation.
If we're going to abuse the preprocessor, we may as well go all the way and have
it generate a convenient format for us. This achieves two things:
1. We no longer need hacks for the arch-specific syscalls.
2. We now generate the correct syscall names for 32-bit platforms.
The latter is because we now resolve __SC_3264, etc.
this patch renames ComptimeStringMap to StaticStringMap, makes it
accept only a single type parameter, and return a known struct type
instead of an anonymous struct. initial motivation for these changes
was to reduce the 'very long type names' issue described here
https://github.com/ziglang/zig/pull/19682.
this breaks the previous API. users will now need to write:
`const map = std.StaticStringMap(T).initComptime(kvs_list);`
* move `kvs_list` param from type param to an `initComptime()` param
* new public methods
* `keys()`, `values()` helpers
* `init(allocator)`, `deinit(allocator)` for runtime data
* `getLongestPrefix(str)`, `getLongestPrefixIndex(str)` - i'm not sure
these belong but have left in for now incase they are deemed useful
* performance notes:
* i posted some benchmarking results here:
https://github.com/travisstaloch/comptime-string-map-revised/issues/1
* i noticed a speedup reducing the size of the struct from 48 to 32
bytes and thus use u32s instead of usize for all length fields
* i noticed speedup storing KVs as a struct of arrays
* latest benchmark shows these wall_time improvements for
debug/safe/small/fast builds: -6.6% / -10.2% / -19.1% / -8.9%. full
output in link above.
`{}` for decls
`{p}` for enum fields
`{p_}` for struct fields and in contexts following a `.`
Elsewhere, `{p}` was used since it's equivalent to the old behavior.
Justification: exec, execv etc are unix concepts and portable version
should be called differently.
Do no touch non-Zig code. Adjust error names as well, if associated.
Closes#5853.
Previously, updating the `SYS` enum for each architecture required
manually looking at the syscall tables and inserting any new additions.
This commit adds a tool, `generate_linux_syscalls.zig`, that automates
this process using the syscall tables in the Linux source tree. On
architectures without a table, it runs `zig cc` as a pre-processor to
extract the system-call numbers from the Linux headers.
