After failing to find RUNPATH in the ELF of /usr/bin/env, not finding
the answer in a symlink of the dynamic interpreter, and not finding
libc.so.6 in the same directory as the dynamic interpreter, Zig will
check `/lib/$triple`.
This fixes incorrect native glibc version detected on Debian bookworm.
This is a partial revert of the previous commit, fixing a regression on
Debian. However, the commit additionally improves the
detectAbiAndDynamicLinker function to read more than 1 byte at a time
when detecting a shebang line.
This commit removes the check that takes advantage of when the dynamic
linker is a symlink. Instead, it falls back on the same directory as the
dynamic linker as a de facto runpath. Empirically, this gives correct
results on Gentoo and NixOS.
Unfortunately it is still falling short for Debian, which has libc.so.6
in a different directory as the dynamic linker.
Before, native glibc and dynamic linker detection attempted to use the
executable's own binary if it was dynamically linked to answer both the
C ABI question and the dynamic linker question. However, this could be
problematic on a system that uses a RUNPATH for the compiler binary,
locking it to an older glibc version, while system binaries such as
/usr/bin/env use a newer glibc version. The problem is that libc.so.6
glibc version will match that of the system while the dynamic linker
will match that of the compiler binary. Executables with these versions
mismatching will fail to run.
Therefore, this commit changes the logic to be the same regardless of
whether the compiler binary is dynamically or statically linked. It
inspects `/usr/bin/env` as an ELF file to find the answer to these
questions, or if there is a shebang line, then it chases the referenced
file recursively. If that does not provide the answer, then the function
falls back to defaults.
This commit also solves a TODO to remove an Allocator parameter to the
detect() function.
Previously, this code would fail to detect glibc version because it
relied on libc.so.6 being a symlink which revealed the answer. On modern
distros, this is no longer the case.
This new strategy finds the path to libc.so.6 from /usr/bin/env, then
inspects the .dynstr section of libc.so.6, looking for symbols that
start with "GLIBC_2.". It then parses those as semantic versions and
takes the maximum value as the system-native glibc version.

`/usr/local/include`, `/usr/local/lib` and `/Library/Frameworks`
have been deprecated since approximately macOS 11, and so to avoid
redundant and misinformed warning messages generated by the linker,
add those dirs only when natively targeting macOS 10.x.x or below.
Since we know the offset, we may as well read starting there. Still expects
rpath to fit in 4096 bytes; that might be worth fixing in the future.
Fixes issue #12112
Notable changes:
`_i386`, `_i486`, and `_i686` are renamed to `i386`, `i486`,
and `i686` respectively. `std.zig.fmtId` is enhanced to support
formatting `i386` as `@"i386"`.
Some CPU features which are actually CPU models have been
properly flattened, such as `apple_a12`, `apple_a13`, `apple_a7`,
`cortex_a78c`, `exynos_m4`, `neoverse_e1`, `neoverse_n1`,
`neoverse_n2`, `neoverse_v1`.
Some CPU features have been added and some have been removed, following
LLVM's lead.
CSky CPU features support is added.
Rename all references of sparcv9 to sparc64, to make Zig align more with
other projects. Also, added new function to convert glibc arch name to Zig
arch name, since it refers to the architecture as sparcv9.
This is based on the suggestion by @kubkon in PR 11847.
(https://github.com/ziglang/zig/pull/11487#pullrequestreview-963761757)
This adds a special CWD file descriptor, AT.FDCWD (-2), to refer to the
current working directory. The `*at(...)` functions look for this and
resolve relative paths against the stored CWD. Absolute paths are
dynamically matched against the stored Preopens.
"os.initPreopensWasi()" must be called before std.os functions will
resolve relative or absolute paths correctly. This is asserted at
runtime.
Support has been added for: `open`, `rename`, `mkdir`, `rmdir`, `chdir`,
`fchdir`, `link`, `symlink`, `unlink`, `readlink`, `fstatat`, `access`,
and `faccessat`.
This also includes limited support for `getcwd()` and `realpath()`.
These return an error if the CWD does not correspond to a Preopen with
an absolute path. They also do not currently expand symlinks.
When the Zig compiler is statically linked, it inspects the
/usr/bin/env ELF file to determine the native glibc version, by checking
the DT_RUNPATH, and then calling readlink() on the libc.so file, because
typically the symlink will have e.g. libc-2.33.so in the name, revealing
the glibc version.
Fortunately, this information is also in readlink() of ld.so, which is
available as the "INTERP" file path. This commit looks for e.g.
`ld-2.33.so` on the symlink data for the dynamic linker.
In theory a more complete solution would also look at `/etc/ld.so.cache`
if necessary, and finally fall back to some hard coded paths, in order
to resolve the location of libc.so, in order to do this readlink() trick
on the resulting path. You can find that flow chart with `man ld.so`.
But I think this logic will be enough to get a correct answer in all real
world cases.
This has been tested on Debian Buster and glibc-based Void Linux.
Fixes#6469
`getExternalExecutor` is moved from `std.zig.CrossTarget` to
`std.zig.system.NativeTargetInfo.getExternalExecutor`.
The function also now communicates a bit more information about *why*
the host is unable to execute a binary. The CLI is updated to report
this information in a useful manner.
`getExternalExecutor` is also improved to detect such patterns as:
* x86_64 is able to execute x86 binaries
* aarch64 is able to execute arm binaries
* etc.
Added qemu-hexagon support to `getExternalExecutor`.
`std.Target.canExecBinaries` of is removed; callers should use the more
powerful `getExternalExecutor` instead.
Now that `zig test` tries to run the resulting binary no matter what,
this commit has a follow-up change to the build system and docgen to
utilize the `getExternalExecutor` function and pass `--test-no-exec`
in some cases to avoid getting the error.
Additionally:
* refactor: extract NativePaths and NativeTargetInfo into their own
files named after the structs.
* small improvement to langref to reduce the complexity of the `callconv`
expression in a couple examples.
Since we are already detecting the path to the native SDK,
if available, also fetch SDK's version and route that to the linker.
The linker can then use it to correctly populate LC_BUILD_VERSION
load command.
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 now no longer limited to targeting macOS natively but also
tries to detect the sysroot when targeting different Apple platforms
from macOS; for instance targeting iPhone Simulator from macOS. In
this case, Zig will try detecting the SDK path by invoking
`xcrun --sdk iphonesimulator --show-sdk-path`, and if the command
fails because the SDK doesn't exist (case when having CLT installed only)
or not having either Xcode or CLT installed, we simply return null
signaling that the user has to provide the sysroot themselves.
