* build.zig: introduce `-Dflat` option which makes the installation
match what we want to ship for our download tarballs. This allows
deleting a bunch of shell script logic from the CI.
- for example it puts the executable directly in prefix/zig rather
than prefix/bin/zig and it additionally includes prefix/LICENSE.
* build.zig: by default also install std lib documentation to doc/std/
- this can be disabled by `-Dno-autodocs` similar to how there is
already `-Dno-langref`.
* build.zig: add `std-docs` and `langref` steps which build and install
the std lib autodocs and langref to prefix/doc/std and
prefix/doc/langref.html, respectively.
* std.Build: implement proper handling of `-femit-docs` using the
LazyPath system. This is a breaking change.
- this is a partial implementation of #16351
* frontend: fixed the handling of Autodocs with regards to caching and
putting the artifacts in the proper location to integrate with the
build system.
- closes#15864
* CI: delete the logic for autodocs since it is now handled by build.zig
and is enabled by default.
- in the future we should strive to have nearly all the CI shell
script logic deleted in favor of `zig build` commands.
* CI: pass `-DZIG_NO_LIB=ON`/`-Dno-lib` except for the one command where
we want to actually generate the langref and autodocs. Generating the
langref takes 14 minutes right now (why?!) so we don't want to do that
more times than necessary.
* Autodoc: fixed use of a global variable. It works fine as a local
variable instead.
- note that in the future we will want to make Autodoc run
simultaneously using the job system, but for now the principle of
YAGNI dictates that we don't have an init()/deinit() API and instead
simply call the function that does the things.
* Autodoc: only do it when there are no compile errors
Don't pass the object files from a static library to the linker invocation.
The lib.a file already contains them.
Avoids "duplicate symbol" errors (and useless work by the linker)
Commit c0b774fbc6 originally added this
logic but it did not properly clear the C command line flags to empty
when a previous positional argument had command line flags, because it
never set the "previous" flag to true.
This fixes C compiler flags not being reset to empty when using the
build system and a second positional argument has no arguments after a
first positional argument has arguments.
Thanks to @squeek502 for finding this.
Most of this migration was performed automatically with `zig fmt`. There
were a few exceptions which I had to manually fix:
* `@alignCast` and `@addrSpaceCast` cannot be automatically rewritten
* `@truncate`'s fixup is incorrect for vectors
* Test cases are not formatted, and their error locations change
Fixes bug causing ReleaseSmall to fail on Windows.
Due to the change in default behavior of ReleaseSmall, debug info are
stripped by default. However because `Compile.create` still defaults to
null, `producesPdbFile` will report true for
`lib/std/Build/Step/InstallArtifact.zig` causing it to fail on copying a
file that does not exist. This commit change the default of strip
depending on `optimize`.
* build.zig: the result of b.option() can be assigned directly in many
cases thanks to the return type being an optional
* std.Build: make the build system aware of the
std.Build.Step.Compile.BuildId type when used as an option.
- remove extraneous newlines in error logs
* simplify caching logic
* simplify hexstring parsing tests and use a doc test
* simplify hashing logic. don't use an optional when the `none` tag
already provides this meaning.
* CLI: fix incorrect linker arg parsing
