Instead of dumping directly to stderr. This prevents processes running
simultaneously from racing their stderr against each other.
For now it only reports at the end, but an improvement would be to
report as soon as a failed step occurs.
It is becoming increasingly common for distributions to want to enable
PIE for all binaries and zig currently does not provide any way to do
so aside from patching the build.zig.
And additionally support writing files to source files. This means a
custom build step in zig's own build.zig is no longer needed for copying
zig.h because it is handled by WriteFileStep.
This requires manual defines before C99 which may not have stdint.h.
Also have update-zig1 leave a copy of lib/zig.h in stage1/zig.h, which
allows lib/zig.h to be updated without needing to update zig1.wasm.
Note that since the object already existed with the exact same contents,
this completely avoids repo bloat due to zig.h changes.
* Use std.Build.Cache.Directory instead of a string for storing the
cache roots and build roots.
* Set up a std.Build.Cache in build_runner.zig and use it in
std.Build.RunStep for avoiding redundant work.
Currently llvm-linkage mode (static vs dynamic) decides linkage mode
for system libstdc++/libc++ .
A previous commit only tested static mode for *BSD and netbsd was
reported to not work in dynamic mode.
We now special-case freebsd, openbsd, netbsd and dragonfly for dynamic
linking too.
- Revert the addition of CLANG_SYSTEM_LIBARIES and LLVM_SYSTEM_LIBRARIES
- Change addCMakeLibraryList to parse non-absolute path .lib dependencies as system libraries
Using zig cc with CMake on Windows was failing during compiler
detection. -nostdinc was causing the crt not to be linked, and Coff/lld.zig
assumed that wWinMainCRTStartup would be present in this case.
-nostdlib did not prevent the default behaviour of linking libc++ when
zig c++ was used. This caused libc++ to be built when CMake ran
ABI detection using zig c++, which fails as libcxxabi cannot compile
under MSVC.
- Change the behaviour of COFF -nostdinc to set /entry to the function that the
default CRT method for the specified subsystem would have called.
- Fix -ENTRY being passed twice if it was specified explicitly and -nostdlib was present.
- Add support for /pdb, /version, /implib, and /subsystem as linker args (passed by CMake)
- Remove -Ddisable-zstd, no longer needed
- Add -Ddisable-libcpp for use when bootstrapping on msvc
- add support for passing through .def files to the linker,
required for building libLTO.dll in LLVM
- fixup libcpp linking conditionals
- add option to skip linking zstd for use in bootstrapping (when
building against an LLVM with LLVM_ENABLE_ZSTD=OFF)
When building with LLVM, always do -lole32 -lversion -luuid even when
using the cmake-provided build stuff. Otherwise we get undefined symbols
when linking.
In general, we prefer compiler code to use relative paths based on open
directory handles because this is the most portable. However, sometimes
absolute paths are used, and sometimes relative paths are used that go
up a directory.
The recent improvements in 81d2135ca6
regressed the use case when an absolute path is used for the zig lib
directory mixed with a relative path used for the root source file. This
could happen when, for example, running the standard library tests, like
this:
stage3/bin/zig test ../lib/std/std.zig
This happened because the zig lib dir was inferred to be an absolute
directory based on the zig executable directory, while the root source
file was detected as a relative path. There was no common prefix and so
it was not determined that the std.zig file was inside the lib
directory.
This commit adds a function for resolving paths that preserves relative
path names while allowing absolute paths, and converting relative
upwards paths (e.g. "../foo") to absolute paths. This restores the
previous functionality while remaining compatible with systems such as
WASI that cannot deal with absolute paths.
* Old cmake option: `-DZIG_SKIP_INSTALL_LIB_FILES=ON`
* New cmake option: `-DZIG_NO_LIB=ON`
* Old build.zig option: `-Dskip-install-lib-files`
* New build.zig option: `-Dno-lib`
Motivation is making build commands easier to type.
This option can be used to produce a C backend build of the self-hosted
compiler, which only has the C backend enabled. Once the C backend is
capable of self-hosting, this will be a way for us to replace our stage1
codebase with a C backend build of self-hosted, which we can then use
for bootstrapping. See #5246 for more details.
Using this option right now results in a crash because the C backend is
not yet passing all the behavior tests.
