Inheriting allow-deprecation from parent modules doesn't make too much
sense, so instead make them default to disallow unless otherwise
specified. This allows build system to avoid redundant
`-fno-allow-deprecated` args.
This makes the generated CLIs smaller, and makes zig1.wasm update not
needed.
Also represented `is_root` differently (moved to field of graph).
In #22522 I said:
> RC="zig rc" will now work in combination with zig cc and CMake. Here's an example of cross-compiling a simple Windows GUI CMake project
>
> $ RC="zig rc" CC="zig cc --target=x86_64-windows-gnu" cmake .. -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME=Windows -G Ninja
However, I didn't realize that the time that this only works because of the `-G Ninja` part. When not using Ninja as the build tool, CMake adds a workaround for 'very long lists of object files' where it takes all object files and runs them through `ar` to combine them into one archive:
4a11fd8dde/Modules/Platform/Windows-GNU.cmake (L141-L158)
This is a problem for the Windows resource use-case, because `ar` doesn't know how to deal with `.res` files and so this object combining step fails with:
unknown file type: foo.rc.res
Only the linker knows what to do with .res files (since it has its own `.res` -> `.obj` ('cvtres') conversion mechanism). So, when using Ninja, this object file combining step is skipped and the .res file gets passed to the linker and everyone is happy.
Note: When CMake thinks that its using `windres` as the Windows resource compiler, it will pass `-O coff` to windres which causes it to output a COFF object file instead of a `.res` file, which means that the `ar` step can succeed because it's only working on actual object files.
---
This commit gives `zig rc` the ability to output COFF object files directly when `/:output-format coff` is provided as an argument. This effectively matches what happens when CMake uses `windres` for resource compilation, but requires the argument to be provided explicitly.
So, after this change, the following CMake cross-compilation use case will work, even when not using Ninja as the generator:
RC="zig rc /:output-format coff" CC="zig cc --target=x86_64-windows-gnu" cmake .. -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME=Windows
Functions like isMinGW() and isGnuLibC() have a good reason to exist: They look
at multiple components of the target. But functions like isWasm(), isDarwin(),
isGnu(), etc only exist to save 4-8 characters. I don't think this is a good
enough reason to keep them, especially given that:
* It's not immediately obvious to a reader whether target.isDarwin() means the
same thing as target.os.tag.isDarwin() precisely because isMinGW() and similar
functions *do* look at multiple components.
* It's not clear where we would draw the line. The logical conclusion before
this commit would be to also wrap Arch.isX86(), Os.Tag.isSolarish(),
Abi.isOpenHarmony(), etc... this obviously quickly gets out of hand.
* It's nice to just have a single correct way of doing something.
breaking change to the fuzz testing API; it now passes a type-safe
context parameter to the fuzz function.
libfuzzer is reworked to select inputs from the entire corpus.
I tested that it's roughly as good as it was before in that it can find
the panics in the simple examples, as well as achieve decent coverage on
the tokenizer fuzz test.
however I think the next step here will be figuring out why so many
points of interest are missing from the tokenizer in both Debug and
ReleaseSafe modes.
does not quite close#20803 yet since there are some more important
things to be done, such as opening the previous corpus, continuing
fuzzing after finding bugs, storing the length of the inputs, etc.
This commit allows using ZON (Zig Object Notation) in a few ways.
* `@import` can be used to load ZON at comptime and convert it to a
normal Zig value. In this case, `@import` must have a result type.
* `std.zon.parse` can be used to parse ZON at runtime, akin to the
parsing logic in `std.json`.
* `std.zon.stringify` can be used to convert arbitrary data structures
to ZON at runtime, again akin to `std.json`.
Currently -freference-trace only works when running from a terminal.
This is annoying if you're running in another environment or if you redirect the output.
But -freference-trace also works fine without the color, so change how the build runner is interpreting this option.
Note: This mostly matches resinator v0.1.0 rather than the latest master version, since the latest master version focuses on adding support for .res -> .obj conversion which is not necessary for the future planned relationship of zig and resinator (resinator will likely be moved out of the compiler and into the build system, a la translate-c).
So, ultimately the changes here consist mostly of bug fixes for obscure edge cases.
This rewrite improves some error messages, hugely simplifies the logic,
and fixes several bugs. One of these bugs is technically a new rule
which Andrew and I agreed on: if a parameter has a comptime-only type
but is not declared `comptime`, then the corresponding call argument
should not be *evaluated* at comptime; only resolved. Implementing this
required changing how function types work a little, which in turn
required allowing a new kind of function coercion for some generic use
cases: function coercions are now allowed to implicitly *remove*
`comptime` annotations from parameters with comptime-only types. This is
okay because removing the annotation affects only the call site.

At the expense of a slight special case in the build runner, we can make
the handling of dependencies between modules a little shorter and much
easier to follow.
When module and step graphs are being constructed during the "configure"
phase, we do not set up step dependencies triggered by modules. Instead,
after the configure phase, the build runner traverses the whole
step/module graph, starting from the root top-level steps, and
configures all step dependencies implied by modules. The "make" phase
then proceeds as normal. Also, the old `Module.dependencyIterator` logic
is replaced by two separate iterables. `Module.getGraph` takes the root
module of a compilation, and returns all modules in its graph; while
`Step.Compile.getCompileDependencies` takes a `*Step.Compile` and
returns all `*Step.Compile` it depends on, recursively, possibly
excluding dynamic libraries. The old `Module.dependencyIterator`
combined these two functions into one unintuitive iterator; they are now
separated, which in particular helps readability at the usage sites
which only need one or the other.
The previous commit exposed some missing `const` qualifiers in a few
places. These mutable slices could have been used to store invalid
values into memory!
It doesn't appear that targeting bridgeOS is meaningfully supported by Apple.
Even LLVM/Clang appear to have incomplete support for it, suggesting that Apple
never bothered to upstream that support. So there's really no sense in us
pretending to support this.
This command being JITed leads to a substantially worse first-time user
experience, since you have to wait for upwards of 20 seconds for
`fmt.zig` to build. This is especially bad when your editor is
configured to run `zig fmt` on save and does so in a blocking manner. As
such, it makes sense from a usability perspective to not JIT this
particular command.
The old isARM() function was a portability trap. With the name it had, it seemed
like the obviously correct function to use, but it didn't include Thumb. In the
vast majority of cases where someone wants to ask "is the target Arm?", Thumb
*should* be included.
There are exactly 3 cases in the codebase where we do actually need to exclude
Thumb, although one of those is in Aro and mirrors a check in Clang that is
itself likely a bug. These rare cases can just add an extra isThumb() check.
Once we upgrade to LLVM 20, these should be lowered verbatim rather than to
simply musl. Similarly, the special case in llvmMachineAbi() should go away.
This commit reworks how anonymous struct literals and tuples work.
Previously, an untyped anonymous struct literal
(e.g. `const x = .{ .a = 123 }`) was given an "anonymous struct type",
which is a special kind of struct which coerces using structural
equivalence. This mechanism was a holdover from before we used
RLS / result types as the primary mechanism of type inference. This
commit changes the language so that the type assigned here is a "normal"
struct type. It uses a form of equivalence based on the AST node and the
type's structure, much like a reified (`@Type`) type.
Additionally, tuples have been simplified. The distinction between
"simple" and "complex" tuple types is eliminated. All tuples, even those
explicitly declared using `struct { ... }` syntax, use structural
equivalence, and do not undergo staged type resolution. Tuples are very
restricted: they cannot have non-`auto` layouts, cannot have aligned
fields, and cannot have default values with the exception of `comptime`
fields. Tuples currently do not have optimized layout, but this can be
changed in the future.
This change simplifies the language, and fixes some problematic
coercions through pointers which led to unintuitive behavior.
Resolves: #16865
it doesn't detect and remove no longer watched things yet
it also isn't aware of any file names reported by kqueue. I'm unsure if
that functionality exists.
The compiler defaults this value to off so that users whose system
shared libraries are all ELF files don't have to pay the cost of
checking every file to find out if it is a text file instead.
When a GNU ld script is encountered, the error message instructs users
about the CLI flag that will immediately solve their problem.
There are several more that we could support here, but I didn't feel
like going down the rabbit-hole of figuring them out. In particular,
some of the Clang enum fields aren't specific enough for us, so we'll
have to switch on the target to figure out how to translate-c them. That
can be a future enhancement.
This commit begins implementing accepted proposal #21209 by making
`std.builtin.CallingConvention` a tagged union.
The stage1 dance here is a little convoluted. This commit introduces the
new type as `NewCallingConvention`, keeping the old `CallingConvention`
around. The compiler uses `std.builtin.NewCallingConvention`
exclusively, but when fetching the type from `std` when running the
compiler (e.g. with `getBuiltinType`), the name `CallingConvention` is
used. This allows a prior build of Zig to be used to build this commit.
The next commit will update `zig1.wasm`, and then the compiler and
standard library can be updated to completely replace
`CallingConvention` with `NewCallingConvention`.
The second half of #21209 is to remove `@setAlignStack`, which will be
implemented in another commit after updating `zig1.wasm`.
