The readme now links to the wiki for instructions on building from
source. I plan to make many updates to the wiki soon as I start to
provide tarballs for working on the compiler.
restore cmake to be capable of figuring out the zig version
restore config.h and config.zig. config.h is used to detect whether we
should propagate cmake configuration information to build.zig; however
it can be overridden with -Dstatic-llvm.
fix not passing -DZIG_LINK_MODE with zig build.
when using the cmake build path, build.zig no longer tries to call
llvm-config. Instead it relies 100% on the LLVM_LIBRARIES cmake variable.
build.zig logic reworked and simplified.
The main idea here is that there are now 2 ways to get a stage1 zig
binary:
* The cmake path. Requirements: cmake, system C++ compiler, system
LLVM, LLD, Clang libraries, compiled by the system C++ compiler.
* The zig path. Requirements: a zig installation, system LLVM, LLD,
Clang libraries, compiled by the zig installation.
Note that the former can be used to now take the latter path.
Removed config.h.in and config.zig.in. The build.zig script no longer is
coupled to the cmake script.
cmake no longer tries to determine the zig version. A build with cmake
will yield a stage1 zig binary that reports 0.0.0+zig0. This is going to
get reverted.
`zig build` now accepts `-Dstage1` which will build the stage1 compiler,
and put the stage2 backend behind a feature flag.
build.zig is simplified to only support the use case of enabling LLVM
support when the LLVM, LLD, and Clang libraries were built by zig. This
part is probably sadly going to have to get reverted to make package
maintainers happy.
Zig build system addBuildOption supports a couple new types.
The biggest reason to make this change is that the zig path is an
attractive option for doing compiler development work on Windows. It
allows people to work on the compiler without having MSVC installed,
using only a .zip file that contains Zig + LLVM/LLD/Clang libraries.
* Remove function parseAnyBaseInt.
* Replace calls to parseAnyBaseInt to calls to std.fmt.parseUnsigned
with radix 0.
* Replace calls to parseInt where the type is unsigned with calls to
parseUnsigned. Note that the functionality of these arguments haven't
changed, they still retain the original radix specified.
When the tag type is not a zero-sized type (eg. `enum(i32)`) we
absolutely need to avoid constant-folding this values. Doing so masked
any invalid input and, since the folding was not even applied
consistently, introduced some hard to catch errors.
Fill in the correct value instead of leaving everything uninitialized.
This problem can be noticed in behavior/union.zig but it's masked by
some other "optimization" kicking in at the wrong time, the following
commits will address that.
Use case:
zig build-exe non_existent_file.zig
Previous behavior:
error.FileNotFound, followed by an error return trace
Behavior after this commit:
error: unable to read non_existent_file.zig: FileNotFound
(end of stderr, exit code 1)
This turns AllErrors.Message into a tagged union which now has the
capability to represent both "plain" errors as well as source-based
errors (with file, line, column, byte offset). The "no entry point found"
error has moved to be a plain error message.
This then allows for proper resolution of names via runpath search
path list, i.e., `-rpath @loader_path` will correctly resolve
to `@rpath/libxxx.dylib (...)` in the linked binary.
This commit version-gates appending `-syslibroot` flag to lld. This
is predicated upon the fact that for versions of macOS lower than
11, lld would fail to find and link against frameworks with this
flag specified.

This way, in the very situation where a function has a return type
an error union such as `anyerror!void` but doesn't have any erroneous
paths, calling `@errorName` on the unpacked error (which will never
be triggered) will not trip up the static analyzer.
* Fix floating point parsing on BE systems
* Load the appropriate endian.h files for macOS and BSD
* Add endian definition for Windows and extra check for ldshape selection
* Fix endian macro definition for macOS
Apparently their macros are defined without a leading __.
* Define new macro for endian checking purposes
This is gross and I really do not like the lack of standardization
around this part, but what can I do?
This commit addresses comments suggesting a cleaner approach
at converting an `extern` struct to its byte representation using
`mem.asBytes`, and to use `meta.eql` in place of more fragile
`mem.eql(u8, ...)` for comparison of two `extern` structs.
Thanks LemonBoy!
