When calling NtCreateFile with a UNC path, if either `\\server` or `\\server\share` are not found, then the statuses `BAD_NETWORK_PATH` or `BAD_NETWORK_NAME` are returned (respectively).
These statuses are not translated into `error.FileNotFound` because they convey more information than the typical FileNotFound error. For example, if you were trying to call `Dir.makePath` with an absolute UNC path like `\\MyServer\MyShare\a\b\c\d`, then knowing that `\\MyServer\MyShare` was not found allows for returning after trying to create the first directory instead of then trying to create `a\b\c`, `a\b`, etc. when it's already known that they will all fail in the same way.
The code removed does unnecessary copying in order to create a null-terminated pointer, just to pass it to libc getenv. It only does this for `small keys`, which are under 64 bytes in size.
Instead of going out of the way to add a null byte to a function that takes normal slices, this should just be handled by the loop below, which scans c.environ to find the value
Most of this migration was performed automatically with `zig fmt`. There
were a few exceptions which I had to manually fix:
* `@alignCast` and `@addrSpaceCast` cannot be automatically rewritten
* `@truncate`'s fixup is incorrect for vectors
* Test cases are not formatted, and their error locations change
musl v1.2.4 dropped the "64"-suffixed aliases for legacy "LFS64" ("large
file support") interfaces, so this commit changes the corresponding Zig
logic to call the correct names.
Missed this originally because I was only able to trigger it when
SA_RESTART was missing from the sigaction handlers. I'm unconvinced this
is actually a sane way for stdlib to behave (see #15664). But this does
duplicate the existing behavior throughout os.zig which IMO should be
prioritized here.
- fix getdents return type usize → c_int
- special-case process.zig to use sysctl instead of sysctlbyname
- use struct/field pattern for sysctl HW_* constants
The majority of these are in comments, some in doc comments which might
affect the generated documentation, and a few in parameter names -
nothing that should be breaking, however.
Now they use slices or array pointers with any element type instead of
requiring byte pointers.
This is a breaking enhancement to the language.
The safety check for overlapping pointers will be implemented in a
future commit.
closes#14040
Move to c/darwin.zig as they really are libSystem/libc imports/wrappers.
As an added bonus, get rid of the nasty `usingnamespace`s which are now
unneeded.
Finally, add `os.ptrace` but currently only implemented on darwin.
The OS layer expects pointer addresses to be inside the application's
address space even if the length is zero. Meanwhile, in Zig, slices may
have undefined pointer addresses when the length is zero. So this
function now modifies the iov_base fields when the length is zero.

Today I found out that posix_spawn is trash. It's actually implemented
on top of fork/exec inside of libc (or libSystem in the case of macOS).
So, anything posix_spawn can do, we can do better. In particular, what
we can do better is handle spawning of child processes that are
potentially foreign binaries. If you try to spawn a wasm binary, for
example, posix spawn does the following:
* Goes ahead and creates a child process.
* The child process writes "foo.wasm: foo.wasm: cannot execute binary file"
to stderr (yes, it prints the filename twice).
* The child process then exits with code 126.
This behavior is indistinguishable from the binary being successfully
spawned, and then printing to stderr, and exiting with a failure -
something that is an extremely common occurrence.
Meanwhile, using the lower level fork/exec will simply return ENOEXEC
code from the execve syscall (which is mapped to zig error.InvalidExe).
The posix_spawn behavior means the zig build runner can't tell the
difference between a failure to run a foreign binary, and a binary that
did run, but failed in some other fashion. This is unacceptable, because
attempting to excecve is the proper way to support things like Rosetta.
Man page for posix lists EMFILE, man page for linux ENFILE.
Also posix says "The mmap() function adds an extra reference to the file
associated with the file descriptor fildes which is not removed by a
subsequent close() on that file descriptor. This reference is removed
when there are no more mappings to the file."
It sounds counter-intuitive, that a process limit but no system limit can
be exceeeded.
As far as I understand, fildes is only used for file descriptor backed mmaps.
- Fixes the first few code units of the name being omitted (it was using `@sizeOf(FILE_NAME_INFO)` as the start of the name bytes, but that includes the length of the dummy [1]u16 field and padding; instead the start should be the offset of the dummy [1]u16 field)
- Replaces kernel32.GetFileInformationByHandleEx call with ntdll.NtQueryInformationFile
+ Contributes towards #1840
- Checks that the handle is a named pipe first before querying and checking the name, which is a much faster call than NtQueryInformationFile (this was about a 10x speedup in my probably-not-so-good/take-it-with-a-grain-of-salt benchmarking)
In Linux when interacting with the virtual file system when writing
in invalid value to a file the OS will return errno 22 (INVAL).
Instead of triggering an unreachable, this change now returns a
newly introduced error.InvalidArgument.
