Introduce the concept of "target query" and "resolved target". A target
query is what the user specifies, with some things left to default. A
resolved target has the default things discovered and populated.
In the future, std.zig.CrossTarget will be rename to std.Target.Query.
Introduces `std.Build.resolveTargetQuery` to get from one to the other.
The concept of `main_mod_path` is gone, no longer supported. You have to
put the root source file at the module root now.
* remove deprecated API
* update build.zig for the breaking API changes in this branch
* move std.Build.Step.Compile.BuildId to std.zig.BuildId
* add more options to std.Build.ExecutableOptions, std.Build.ObjectOptions,
std.Build.SharedLibraryOptions, std.Build.StaticLibraryOptions, and
std.Build.TestOptions.
* remove `std.Build.constructCMacro`. There is no use for this API.
* deprecate `std.Build.Step.Compile.defineCMacro`. Instead,
`std.Build.Module.addCMacro` is provided.
- remove `std.Build.Step.Compile.defineCMacroRaw`.
* deprecate `std.Build.Step.Compile.linkFrameworkNeeded`
- use `std.Build.Module.linkFramework`
* deprecate `std.Build.Step.Compile.linkFrameworkWeak`
- use `std.Build.Module.linkFramework`
* move more logic into `std.Build.Module`
* allow `target` and `optimize` to be `null` when creating a Module.
Along with other fields, those unspecified options will be inherited
from parent `Module` when inserted into an import table.
* the `target` field of `addExecutable` is now required. pass `b.host`
to get the host target.
std_options.http_connection_pool_size removed in favor of
```
client.connection_pool.resize(client.allocator, size);
```
std_options.http_disable_tls will remove all https capability from
std.http when true. Any https request will error with
`error.TlsInitializationFailed`.
Solves #17051.
This will allow users to construct e.g. a ComptimeStringMap that uses case-insensitive ASCII comparison.
Note: the previous ComptimeStringMap API is unchanged (i.e. this does not break any existing code).
`TailQueue` was implemented as a doubly-linked list, but named after an
abstract data type. This was inconsistent with `SinglyLinkedList`, which
can be used to implement an abstract data type, but is still named after
the implementation. Renaming `TailQueue` to `DoublyLinkedList` improves
consistency between the two type names, and should help discoverability.
`TailQueue` is now a deprecated alias of `DoublyLinkedList`.
Related to issues #1629 and #8233.

This is useful for creating byte buffers of actually-different-things.
Copied the argument order from `Allocator.alignedAlloc`
I noted that `ArrayListAligned` is going out of it's way to not set the
alignment at comptime when it is not specified. However, I was not able
to do that the same way here, and good people on IRC, @ifreund in
particular (thanks!) assured me that
[N]T align(@alignOf(T))
is equivalent to
[N]T
Previously, this API had pid, to be used on POSIX systems, and handle,
to be used on Windows.
This commit unifies the API, defining an Id type that is either the pid
or the HANDLE depending on the target OS.
This commit also prepares for the future by allowing one to import via
`std.process.Child` which is the fully qualified namespace that I intend
to migrate to in the future.
These declarations are now aliases of their new APIs and marked as
deprecated via doc comments:
* std.build.Builder
* std.build
* std.Build.LibExeObjStep
This file contains a collections of functions that may be useful for SIMD, such as generating a vector with a linear range of numbers starting at zero, joining two vectors together, getting the index of the first true in a vector of bools, etc.
We already have a LICENSE file that covers the Zig Standard Library. We
no longer need to remind everyone that the license is MIT in every single
file.
Previously this was introduced to clarify the situation for a fork of
Zig that made Zig's LICENSE file harder to find, and replaced it with
their own license that required annual payments to their company.
However that fork now appears to be dead. So there is no need to
reinforce the copyright notice in every single file.
This is a simple structure containing an array and a length, that can be viewed as a slice.
It is useful to pass-by-copy small data whose exact size is known at runtime, but whose maximum size is known at comptime. This greatly simplifies code that otherwise would require an allocator, or reimplementing what this type does.
Kick-start initial work on new cross-platform abstraction for
sockets. Adds a test for read timeouts and a test for creating
a non-blocking socket pair on Linux.
The new Socket abstraction is barebones and is made to support both
blocking and non-blocking abstractions, alongside different socket
protocols and domains.
Support for platform-dependant socket options that handles unsupported
platforms gracefully via. comptime checks is provided for the new Socket
abstraction.
This also marks the first out of many commits for introducing breaking
changes to the standard library in a separate `x` folder, which was
pre-approved by @andrewrk.
The intent for the new `x` package is to introduce new async, event loop,
networking, and operating system abstractions that would require breaking
the standard library significantly. By having the `x` package, code in the
standard library and compiler may then slowly be refactored to use the `x`
package. Once modules in the `x` package are stabilized, they can be moved
out of the `x` package, and a global 'grep' can be done to update import
paths that resolve to the stabilized module in the `x` package.
This branch adds "builtin" and "std" to the import table when using the
self-hosted backend.
"builtin" gains one additional item:
```
pub const zig_is_stage2 = true; // false when using stage1 backend
```
This allows the std lib to do conditional compilation based on detecting
which backend is being used. This will be removed from builtin as soon
as self-hosted catches up to feature parity with stage1.
Keep a sharp eye out - people are going to be tempted to abuse this.
The general rule of thumb is do not use `builtin.zig_is_stage2`. However
this commit breaks the rule so that we can gain limited start.zig support
as we incrementally improve the self-hosted compiler.
This commit also implements `fullyQualifiedNameHash` and related
functionality, which effectively puts all Decls in their proper
namespaces. `fullyQualifiedName` is not yet implemented.
Stop printing "todo" log messages for test decls unless we are in test
mode.
Add "previous definition here" error notes for Decl name collisions.
This commit does not bring us yet to a newly passing test case.
Here's what I'm working towards:
```zig
const std = @import("std");
export fn main() c_int {
const a = std.fs.base64_alphabet[0];
return a - 'A';
}
```
Current output:
```
$ ./zig-cache/bin/zig build-exe test.zig
test.zig:3:1: error: TODO implement more analyze elemptr
zig-cache/lib/zig/std/start.zig:38:46: error: TODO implement structInitExpr ty
```
So the next steps are clear:
* Sema: improve elemptr
* AstGen: implement structInitExpr
Conflicts:
* lib/std/zig/ast.zig
* lib/std/zig/parse.zig
* lib/std/zig/parser_test.zig
* lib/std/zig/render.zig
* src/Module.zig
* src/zir.zig
I resolved some of the conflicts by reverting a small portion of
@tadeokondrak's stage2 logic here regarding `callconv(.Inline)`.
It will need to get reworked as part of this branch.
Also known as "Struct-Of-Arrays" or "SOA". The purpose of this data
structure is to provide a similar API to ArrayList but instead of
the element type being a struct, the fields of the struct are in N
different arrays, all with the same length and capacity.
Having this abstraction means we can put them in the same allocation,
avoiding overhead with the allocator. It also saves a tiny bit of
overhead from the redundant capacity and length fields, since each
struct element shares the same value.
This is an alternate implementation to #7854.
* move concurrency primitives that always operate on kernel threads to
the std.Thread namespace
* remove std.SpinLock. Nobody should use this in a non-freestanding
environment; the other primitives are always preferable. In
freestanding, it will be necessary to put custom spin logic in there,
so there are no use cases for a std lib version.
* move some std lib files to the top level fields convention
* add std.Thread.spinLoopHint
* add std.Thread.Condition
* add std.Thread.Semaphore
* new implementation of std.Thread.Mutex for Windows and non-pthreads Linux
* add std.Thread.RwLock
