This creates a new step that can run foreign binaries when
emulation is enabled using options such as `enable_qemu`.
When an incompatible binary is found, the binary will not be executed.
This differs from `RunStep` which will always execute a binary,
regardless of the compatibility.
This is useful for usecases where the user wishes to allow for running the
binary on any supported platform either natively or through emulation,
but not generate an error when met with an incompatibility.
The above is useful when creating test cases that rely on running the binary
and optionally verifying its output.
The addition of this Step was generated by the need for our linker tests.
For that reason, a handy function was created on `CheckObjectStep` to ease
the setup for that.
* test/link: initial wasm support
This adds basic parsing and dumping of wasm section so they
can be tested using the new linker-test infrastructure.
* test/link: all wasm sections parsing and dumping
We now parse and dump all sections for the wasm binary format.
Currently, this only dumps the name of a custom section.
Later this should also dump symbol table, name, linking metadata and relocations.
All of those live within the custom sections.
* Add wasm linker test
This also fixes a parser mistake in reading the flags.
* test/link: implement linker tests wasm & fixes
Adds several test cases to test the wasm self-hosted linker.
This also introduces fixes that were caught during the implementation
of those tests.
* test-runner: obey omit_stage2 for standalone
When a standalone test requires stage2, but stage2 is omit
from the compiler, such test case will not be included as part
of the test suite that is being ran. This is to support CI's
where we omit stage2 to lower the memory usage.
MachO linker now handles `-needed-l<name>`, `-needed_library=<name>`
and `-needed_framework=<name>`. While on macOS `-l` is equivalent
to `-needed-l`, and `-framework` to `-needed_framework`, it can be
used to the same effect as on Linux if combined with `-dead_strip_dylibs`.
This commit also adds handling for `-needed_library` which is macOS
specific flag only (in addition to `-needed-l`).
Finally, in order to leverage new linker testing harness, this commit
added ability to specify lowering to those flags via `build.zig`:
`linkSystemLibraryNeeded` (and related), and `linkFrameworkNeeded`.
Includes both traditiona and incremental codepaths with one caveat that
in incremental case, the requested size cannot be smaller than the
default padding size due to prealloc required due to incremental nature
of linking.
Also parse `-headerpad_max_install_names`, however, not actionable just yet -
missing implementation.
CheckMachOStep specialises CheckFileStep into directed (surgical)
MachO file fuzzy searches. This will be the building block for
comprehensive MachO linker tests.
stage2: change logic for detecting whether the main package is inside
the std package. Previously it relied on realpath() which is not portable.
This uses resolve() which is how imports already work.
* stage2: fix cleanup bug when creating Module
* flatten lib/std/special/* to lib/*
- this was motivated by making main_pkg_is_inside_std false for
compiler_rt & friends.
* rename "mini libc" to "universal libc"
We can't yet run the behavior tests with stage3, but at least we can run
them with stage2, and we can use the proper test matrix.
This commit also adds use_llvm and ofmt to the zig build system.
Instead, just return ChildProcess directly. This structure does not
require a stable address, so we can put it on the stack just fine. If
someone wants it on the heap they should do.
const proc = try allocator.create(ChildProcess);
proc.* = ChildProcess.init(args, allocator);
This reverts commit 75c9936737, reversing
changes made to 7f13f5cd5f.
I don't think `runZigBuild` belongs in std.testing. We already have
`test/standalone/*` for this.
Additionally test names should explain what they are testing rather than
referencing GitHub issue numbers.
So that people can start experimenting with compiling their projects
with the self-hosted compiler.
I expect this commit to be reverted after #89 is closed.
Currently transitive system library dependencies are always linked using
linkSystemLibrary() and therefore pkg-config even if they were
originally specified with linkSystemLibraryName() instead. This causes
problems in practice for projects needing total control over exactly
what library is linked, such as the mach game engine.
This is fixed by keeping track of whether libraries are to be linked
with pkg-config or not and holding off on actually running pkg-config
until after transitive dependency resolution in LibExeObjStep.make().
This also fixes a separate issue with the pkg-config handling that could
cause partial application of pkg-config flags if the first part of the
pkg-config output parses correctly but there is an error later on. This
error isn't always fatal as we fall back to a plain -lfoo in the case of
linkSystemLibrary().
With this change, we can now bake in entitlements into the binary.
Additionally, I see this as the first step towards full code signature
support which includes baking in Apple issued certificates for
redistribution, etc.
Also update std/build.zig to use stage2 function pointer semantics.
This gets us a little bit closer to `zig build` working, although it is
now hitting a new crash in the compiler.
Currently, the new API will only be available on macOS with
the intention of adding more POSIX systems to it incrementally
(such as Linux, etc.).
Changes:
* add `posix_spawn` wrappers in a separate container in
`os/posix_spawn.zig`
* rewrite `ChildProcess.spawnPosix` using `posix_spawn` targeting macOS
as `ChildProcess.spawnMacos`
* introduce a `posix_spawn` specific `std.c.waitpid` wrapper which
does return an error in case the child process failed to exec - this
is required for any process that was spawned using `posix_spawn`
mechanism as, by definition, the errors returned by `posix_spawn`
routine cover only the `fork`-equivalent; `pre-exec()` and `exec()`
steps are covered by a catch-all error `ECHILD` returned by `waitpid`
on unsuccessful execution, e.g., no such file error, etc.
In Mach engine we're seeing command line arguments to `zig build-lib`
exceed the 32 KiB limit that Windows imposes, due to the number of
sources and compiler flags we must pass in order to build gpu-dawn.
This change fixes the issue by having `Builder` check if the arguments
to a `zig build-*` command are >30 KiB and, if so, writes the arguments
to a file `zig-cache/args/<SHA2 of args>`. Then the command invocation
merely becomes `zig build-lib @<that file>`.

This reverts commit baead472d7.
Let's go through the proposal process on this one. I want to push back
on this. My position is that, at the very least, a full trace of command
lines of sub-processes should be printed on failure, with the exception
of opt-in flags such as `--prominent-compile-errors`.
Address https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/3477
This provides a mechanism for builds to fully report an error to the user and prevent zig from piling on extra noise.
