PR [19271](https://github.com/ziglang/zig/pull/19271) added some static function implementations from kernel32, but some parts of the library still used the dynamically loaded versions.
The set of signals that cannot have their action changed is documented in POSIX,
and any additional, non-standard signals are documented by the specific OS. I
see no valid reason why EINVAL should be considered an unpredictable error here.
It is now composed of these main sections:
* Declarations that are shared among all operating systems.
* Declarations that have the same name, but different type signatures
depending on the operating system. Often multiple operating systems
share the same type signatures however.
* Declarations that are specific to a single operating system.
- These are imported one per line so you can see where they come from,
protected by a comptime block to prevent accessing the wrong one.
Closes#19352 by changing the convention to making types `void` and
functions `{}`, so that it becomes possible to update `@hasDecl` sites
to use `@TypeOf(f) != void` or `T != void`. Happily, this ended up
removing some duplicate logic and update some bitrotted feature
detection checks.
A handful of types have been modified to gain namespacing and type
safety. This is a breaking change.
Oh, and the last usage of `usingnamespace` site is eliminated.
To facilitate #1840, this commit slims `std.windows.kernel32` to only
have the functions needed by the standard library. Since this will break
projects that relied on these, I offer two solutions:
- Make an argument as to why certain functions should be added back in.
Note that they may just be wrappers around `ntdll` APIs, which would
go against #1840.
If necessary I'll add them back in *and* make wrappers in
`std.windows` for it.
- Maintain your own list of APIs. This is the option taken by bun[1],
where they wrap functions with tracing.
- Use `zigwin32`.
I've also added TODO comments that specify which functions can be
reimplemented using `ntdll` APIs in the future.
Other changes:
- Group functions into groups (I/O, process management etc.).
- Synchronize definitions against Microsoft documentation to use the
proper parameter types/names.
- Break all functions with parameters over multiple lines.
Instead of calling the dynamically loaded kernel32.GetLastError, we can extract it from the TEB.
As shown by [Wine](34b1606019/include/winternl.h (L439)), the last error lives at offset 0x34 of the TEB in 32-bit Windows and at offset 0x68 in 64-bit Windows.
Deprecated aliases that are now compile errors:
- `std.fs.MAX_PATH_BYTES` (renamed to `std.fs.max_path_bytes`)
- `std.mem.tokenize` (split into `tokenizeAny`, `tokenizeSequence`, `tokenizeScalar`)
- `std.mem.split` (split into `splitSequence`, `splitAny`, `splitScalar`)
- `std.mem.splitBackwards` (split into `splitBackwardsSequence`, `splitBackwardsAny`, `splitBackwardsScalar`)
- `std.unicode`
+ `utf16leToUtf8Alloc`, `utf16leToUtf8AllocZ`, `utf16leToUtf8`, `fmtUtf16le` (all renamed to have capitalized `Le`)
+ `utf8ToUtf16LeWithNull` (renamed to `utf8ToUtf16LeAllocZ`)
- `std.zig.CrossTarget` (moved to `std.Target.Query`)
Deprecated `lib/std/std.zig` decls were deleted instead of made a `@compileError` because the `refAllDecls` in the test block would trigger the `@compileError`. The deleted top-level `std` namespaces are:
- `std.rand` (renamed to `std.Random`)
- `std.TailQueue` (renamed to `std.DoublyLinkedList`)
- `std.ChildProcess` (renamed/moved to `std.process.Child`)
This is not exhaustive. Deprecated aliases that I didn't touch:
+ `std.io.*`
+ `std.Build.*`
+ `std.builtin.Mode`
+ `std.zig.c_translation.CIntLiteralRadix`
+ anything in `src/`
The doc comments for this global said:
"Locked to avoid interleaving panic messages from multiple threads."
Huh? There's already a mutex for that, it's the stderr mutex. Lock that
one instead.
Don't know why UEFI wasn't excluded but freestanding is, probably an oversight since I want to have detailed debug info on my panic function on my Headstart bootloader.
This adds std.debug.SafetyLock and uses it in std.HashMapUnmanaged by
adding lockPointers() and unlockPointers().
This provides a way to detect when an illegal modification has happened and
panic rather than invoke undefined behavior.

Zig deflate compression/decompression implementation. It supports compression and decompression of gzip, zlib and raw deflate format.
Fixes#18062.
This PR replaces current compress/gzip and compress/zlib packages. Deflate package is renamed to flate. Flate is common name for deflate/inflate where deflate is compression and inflate decompression.
There are breaking change. Methods signatures are changed because of removal of the allocator, and I also unified API for all three namespaces (flate, gzip, zlib).
Currently I put old packages under v1 namespace they are still available as compress/v1/gzip, compress/v1/zlib, compress/v1/deflate. Idea is to give users of the current API little time to postpone analyzing what they had to change. Although that rises question when it is safe to remove that v1 namespace.
Here is current API in the compress package:
```Zig
// deflate
fn compressor(allocator, writer, options) !Compressor(@TypeOf(writer))
fn Compressor(comptime WriterType) type
fn decompressor(allocator, reader, null) !Decompressor(@TypeOf(reader))
fn Decompressor(comptime ReaderType: type) type
// gzip
fn compress(allocator, writer, options) !Compress(@TypeOf(writer))
fn Compress(comptime WriterType: type) type
fn decompress(allocator, reader) !Decompress(@TypeOf(reader))
fn Decompress(comptime ReaderType: type) type
// zlib
fn compressStream(allocator, writer, options) !CompressStream(@TypeOf(writer))
fn CompressStream(comptime WriterType: type) type
fn decompressStream(allocator, reader) !DecompressStream(@TypeOf(reader))
fn DecompressStream(comptime ReaderType: type) type
// xz
fn decompress(allocator: Allocator, reader: anytype) !Decompress(@TypeOf(reader))
fn Decompress(comptime ReaderType: type) type
// lzma
fn decompress(allocator, reader) !Decompress(@TypeOf(reader))
fn Decompress(comptime ReaderType: type) type
// lzma2
fn decompress(allocator, reader, writer !void
// zstandard:
fn DecompressStream(ReaderType, options) type
fn decompressStream(allocator, reader) DecompressStream(@TypeOf(reader), .{})
struct decompress
```
The proposed naming convention:
- Compressor/Decompressor for functions which return type, like Reader/Writer/GeneralPurposeAllocator
- compressor/compressor for functions which are initializers for that type, like reader/writer/allocator
- compress/decompress for one shot operations, accepts reader/writer pair, like read/write/alloc
```Zig
/// Compress from reader and write compressed data to the writer.
fn compress(reader: anytype, writer: anytype, options: Options) !void
/// Create Compressor which outputs the writer.
fn compressor(writer: anytype, options: Options) !Compressor(@TypeOf(writer))
/// Compressor type
fn Compressor(comptime WriterType: type) type
/// Decompress from reader and write plain data to the writer.
fn decompress(reader: anytype, writer: anytype) !void
/// Create Decompressor which reads from reader.
fn decompressor(reader: anytype) Decompressor(@TypeOf(reader)
/// Decompressor type
fn Decompressor(comptime ReaderType: type) type
```
Comparing this implementation with the one we currently have in Zig's standard library (std).
Std is roughly 1.2-1.4 times slower in decompression, and 1.1-1.2 times slower in compression. Compressed sizes are pretty much same in both cases.
More resutls in [this](https://github.com/ianic/flate) repo.
This library uses static allocations for all structures, doesn't require allocator. That makes sense especially for deflate where all structures, internal buffers are allocated to the full size. Little less for inflate where we std version uses less memory by not preallocating to theoretical max size array which are usually not fully used.
For deflate this library allocates 395K while std 779K.
For inflate this library allocates 74.5K while std around 36K.
Inflate difference is because we here use 64K history instead of 32K in std.
If merged existing usage of compress gzip/zlib/deflate need some changes. Here is example with necessary changes in comments:

These changes enable me to use `GeneralPurposeAllocator` with my "Bring
Your Own OS" package. The previous checks for a freestanding target have
been expanded to `@hasDecl` checks.
- `root.os.heap.page_allocator` is used if it exists.
- `debug.isValidMemory` only calls `os.msync` if it's supported.
Recently, when I've been working with structures of data that is not
directly in RAM but rather laid out in bytes somewhere else,
it was always very useful to print out maybe the next 50 bytes or the
previous 50 bytes or so to see what's ahead or before me.
I would usually do this with a quick
`std.debug.print("{any}\n", .{bytes});` or something but the output is
not as nice obviously.
* std.debug: optimized printLineFromFileAnyOs
Uses mem.indexOfScalar to speed line iteration instead of byte for byte.
Also prints the whole line in a single write (or up to a page size at a
time)
Closes#18099
* add test cases for printLineFromFileAnyOs
