This reverts commit b461d07a54.
After some discussion in the team, we've decided that this is too disruptive,
especially because the linker errors are less than helpful. That's a fixable
problem, so we might reconsider this in the future, but revert it for now.
This option never worked properly (it emitted wrongly-formatted code),
and it doesn't seem particularly *useful* -- someone who's proficient
enough with `std.Build` to not need explanations probably just wants to
write their own thing. Meanwhile, the use case of writing your own
`build.zig` was extremely poorly served, because `build.zig.zon` *needs*
to be generated programmatically for a correct `fingerprint`, but the
only ways to do that were to a) do it wrong and get an error, or b) get
the full init template and delete the vast majority of it. Both of these
were pretty clunky, and `-s` didn't really help.
So, replace this flag with a new one, `--minimal`/`-m`, which uses a
different template. This template is trivial enough that I opted to just
hardcode it into the compiler for simplicity. The main job of
`zig init -m` is to generate a correct `build.zig.zon` (if it is unable
to do this, it exits with a fatal error). In addition, it will *attempt*
to generate a tiny stub `build.zig`, with only an `std` import and an
empty `pub fn build`. However, if `build.zig` already exists, it will
avoid overwriting it, and doesn't even complain. This serves the use
case of writing `build.zig` manually and *then* running `zig init -m`
to generate an appropriate `build.zig.zon`.
Soft float is a very rare use case for riscv*-linux. No point wasting CI
resources on these targets, especially since our arm and mips soft float
coverage is already likely to catch most soft float bugs.
Without this change, by default you get a failure when trying to cross
compile for these targets.
freebsd was error: undefined symbol: __libc_start1
netbsd was warning: invalid target NetBSD libc version: 9.4.0

std.fmt no longer has a dependency on std.unicode. Formatted printing
was never properly unicode-aware. Now it no longer pretends to be.
Breakage/deprecations:

It's kind of unclear what `*-windows-none` actually means, but as far as LLVM is
concerned, it's equivalent to `*-windows-msvc`. For clarity, only test
`*-windows-msvc` and `*-windows-gnu`. #20690 will clean this situation up
eventually.
Also ensure coverage of `link_libc = true` and `link_libc = false` for both.
e.g. `x86_64-windows.win10...win11_dt-gnu` -> `x86_64-windows-gnu`
When the OS version is the default this is redundant with checking the
default in the standard library.
std tests are temporarily disabled for arm-freebsd-eabihf due to #23949.
I omitted x86-freebsd-none and powerpc-freebsd-none because these will be
dropped in FreeBSD 15.0 anyway, so there's no point in us spending resources on
those now.
There's not really any point in targeting *-windows-(gnu,msvc) when not linking
libc, so add entries for *-windows-(gnu,msvc) that actually link libc, and
change the old non-libc entries to *-windows-none.
Also add missing aarch64-windows-(none,msvc) and thumb-windows-(none,msvc)
entries. thumb-windows-gnu is disabled for now due to #24016.
Most of these are gated by -Dtest-extra-targets because:
* We don't really have CI resources to spare at the moment.
* They're relatively niche if you're not on a musl distro.
* And the few musl distros that exist don't support all these targets.
* Quite a few of them are broken and need investigating.
x86_64-linux-musl and aarch64-linux-musl are not gated as they're the most
common targets that people will be running dynamic musl on, so we'll want to
have some bare minimum coverage of those.
This lays the groundwork for #2879. This library will be built and linked when a
static libc is going to be linked into the compilation. Currently, that means
musl, wasi-libc, and MinGW-w64. As a demonstration, this commit removes the musl
C code for a few string functions and implements them in libzigc. This means
that those libzigc functions are now load-bearing for musl and wasi-libc.
Note that if a function has an implementation in compiler-rt already, libzigc
should not implement it. Instead, as we recently did for memcpy/memmove, we
should delete the libc copy and rely on the compiler-rt implementation.
I repurposed the existing "universal libc" code to do this. That code hadn't
seen development beyond basic string functions in years, and was only usable-ish
on freestanding. I think that if we want to seriously pursue the idea of Zig
providing a freestanding libc, we should do so only after defining clear goals
(and non-goals) for it. See also #22240 for a similar case.
This reverts commit dea72d15da, reversing
changes made to ab381933c8.
The changeset does not work as advertised and does not have sufficient
test coverage.
