* Reuse bytes of async function frames when non-async functions
make `noasync` calls. This prevents explosive stack growth.
* Zig now passes a stack size argument to the linker when linking ELF
binaries. Linux ignores this value, but it is available as a program
header called GNU_STACK. I prototyped some code that memory maps
extra space to the stack using this program header, but there was
still a problem when accessing stack memory very far down. Stack
probing is needed or not working or something. I also prototyped
using `@newStackCall` to call main and that does work around the
issue but it also brings its own issues. That code is commented out
for now in std/special/start.zig. I'm on a plane with no Internet,
but I plan to consult with the musl community for advice when I get a
chance.
* Added `noasync` to a bunch of function calls in std.debug. It's very
messy but it's a workaround that makes stack traces functional with
evented I/O enabled. Eventually these will be cleaned up as the root
bugs are found and fixed. Programs built in blocking mode are
unaffected.
* Lowered the default stack size of std.io.InStream (for the async
version) to 1 MiB instead of 4. Until we figure out how to get
choosing a stack size working (see 2nd bullet point above), 4 MiB
tends to cause segfaults due to stack size running out, or usage of
stack memory too far apart, or something like that.
* Default thread stack size is bumped from 8 MiB to 16 to match the
size we give for the main thread. It's planned to eventually remove
this hard coded value and have Zig able to determine this value
during semantic analysis, with call graph analysis and function
pointer annotations and extern function annotations.
Add versions of __aeabi_memset and __aeabi_memclr which do not use mov
instructions between low registers, as this is unsupported on thumbv4t
and thumbv5.
and expand @sqrt
This revealed that the accuracy of ln is not as good as the current algorithm in
musl and glibc, and should be ported again.
v2: actually include tests
v3: fix reversal of in and out arguments on f128M_sqrt()
add test for @sqrt on comptime_float
do not include @nearbyInt() until it works on all targets.
This removes the odd width and precision specifiers found and replacing
them with the more consistent api described in #1358.
Take the following example:
{1:5.9}
This refers to the first argument (0-indexed) in the argument list. It
will be printed with a minimum width of 5 and will have a precision of 9
(if applicable).
Not all types correctly use these parameters just yet. There are still
some missing gaps to fill in. Fill characters and alignment have yet to
be implemented.
The optimizer will now convert calls to memcmp into a calls to bcmp
in some circumstances. Users who are building freestanding code (not
depending on the platform’s libc) without specifying -ffreestanding may
need to either pass -fno-builtin-bcmp, or provide a bcmp function.
