* move concurrency primitives that always operate on kernel threads to
the std.Thread namespace
* remove std.SpinLock. Nobody should use this in a non-freestanding
environment; the other primitives are always preferable. In
freestanding, it will be necessary to put custom spin logic in there,
so there are no use cases for a std lib version.
* move some std lib files to the top level fields convention
* add std.Thread.spinLoopHint
* add std.Thread.Condition
* add std.Thread.Semaphore
* new implementation of std.Thread.Mutex for Windows and non-pthreads Linux
* add std.Thread.RwLock
Implementations provided by @kprotty
... and mem.copy operations. Requires slightly larger input buffers than result length. Add helper functions std.mem.alignInBytes and std.mem.alignInSlice.
The NtQueryInformationFile with .FileNormalizedNameInformation is only available in Windows 10 1803 (rs4) and later, however there is probably still another route we can go via ntdll.
* read directly into the ArrayList buffers.
* respect max_output_bytes
* std.ArrayList:
- make `allocatedSlice` public.
- add `unusedCapacitySlice`.
I removed the Windows implementation of this stuff; I am doing a partial
merge of LemonBoy's patch with the understanding that a later patch can
add the Windows implementation after it is vetted.
Reading stdin&stderr at different times may lead to nasty deadlocks (eg.
when stdout is read before stderr and the child process doesn't write
anything onto stdout).
Implement a polling mechanism to make sure this won't happen: we read
data from stderr/stdout as it becomes ready and then it's copied into an
ArrayList provided by the user, avoiding any kind of blocking read.
* Truncate user and group ids
Calls to `getuid`, `getgid` and their `eid` variants fail to compile on
64bit Linux systems because the return value of the syscall is of
`usize` and needs to be truncated to fit the size of `uid_t` that is 32
bit.
Thanks to @FireFox317 for figuring this out in Zig's Discord channel!
* Add a regression test for user and group ids
* Replace @truncate with @intCast
This should be safe because `uid_t` will be 32-bit.
* Add missing import for getauxval
* Add missing package names
* Revert "Add missing import for getauxval"
This reverts commit 38f93dc89e.
* Skip user and group test if builtin.link_libc
Everybody gets what they want!
* AT_RANDOM is completely ignored.
* On Linux, MADV_WIPEONFORK is used to provide fork safety.
* On pthread systems, `pthread_atfork` is used to provide fork safety.
* For systems that do not have the capability to provide fork safety,
the implementation falls back to calling getrandom() every time.
* If madvise is unavailable or returns an error, or pthread_atfork
fails for whatever reason, it falls back to calling getrandom() every
time.
* Applications may choose to opt-out of fork safety.
* Applications may choose to opt-in to unconditionally calling
getrandom() for every call to std.crypto.random.fillFn.
* Added `std.meta.globalOption`.
* Added `std.os.madvise` and related bits.
* Bumped up the size of the main thread TLS buffer. See the comment
there for justification.
* Simpler hot path in TLS initialization.
ad05509 introduced a fix for the wrong problem, the logic to align the
start of main_thread_tls_buffer was already there but was flawed.
Fix it for good and avoid wasting too many bytes for alignment purposes.
- addrinfo: addr and canonname are switched (wrong layout)
- addrinfo, Flock, msghdr struct: use proper c_xxx type instead of fixed size. it should help using struct on all architectures supported by openbsd
