Cache reuse in zig is currently quite fragile (we are using a forked
version with github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/13051), so ensure that it
does not regress when zig SDK upgrades.
Previously the toolchain wrappers used to assume the zig_lib_dir is
always in "lib". However, it depends on the OS: macos-x86_64 and
linux-aarch64 have it in "lib/zig".
Update the wrapper scripts to reflect that.
Zig does not always share `libc++.a` and the glibc shims. We have observed
to be caused for 2 reasons:
- For some commands Go `chdir`s to `/tmp/`. This causes `ZIG_LIB_DIR` to be
absolute, which blows the cache key to find the right `libc++.a` (because Zig
thinks we are using a different lib dir to compile libc++). This is currently
worked around in `toolchain/defs.bzl` by overfitting to Go and returning
early from that particular invocation.
- Sometimes Bazel's sandbox messes up Zig's cache keys. If one runs without the
sandbox (`--spawn_strategy=standalone`), the cache hit rate and thus the
build time are much better.
This is actively investigated. I am adding `--spawn_strategy=standalone`
to CI to see the speedup that it provides. I will rollback it later.
Go ignores CFLAGS for some commands. That causes unnecessary build of
glibc shims (and libc++.a).
In the GCC days cross-compiler toolchains used to expose a "tool" per
architecture. Let's do the same here. Then Go cannot cheat with skipping
CFLAGS which we normally *always* expect.
The wrapper code is getting gnarly, I know. But it still fits in my head
somehow, so we can still keep adding to it.
'common' is not a thing in Windows; but it needs to be defined.
This makes v1.0.0-rc3 broken for Windows, and not useful (yet) for
anyone else but me. Revert the README update too.
It would "fix" the files on CI and not fail. ci/lint should verify they
are OK first, and give guidance to fix them.
also, `shellcheck -x` is no longer necessary; we can use the plain one
now.
Empirically these need to come from most specfic to least specific.
The error message is as follows:
In file included from test/c/main.c:1:

Dissected `generic-glibc/bits/types.h:#error`:
#if __WORDSIZE == 32
<...>
# define __STD_TYPE __extension__ typedef
#elif __WORDSIZE == 64
<...>

#else

#endif
So we do not have the `__WORDSIZE`. Where does that come from? Probably from a
directory that has an `x86_64` in it. How does that get included? Let's start
with `lib/libcxx/include/stdio.h`:
16 #include_next <stdio.h>
Now previously our `c++` command line looked like this:
external/zig_sdk/tools/c++ \
<...>
-Iexternal/zig_sdk/lib/include \
-Iexternal/zig_sdk/lib/libcxx/include \
-Iexternal/zig_sdk/lib/libcxxabi/include \
-Iexternal/zig_sdk/lib/libunwind/include \
-Iexternal/zig_sdk/lib/libc/include/generic-glibc \
-Iexternal/zig_sdk/lib/libc/include/any-linux-any \
-Iexternal/zig_sdk/lib/libc/include/x86_64-linux-gnu \
-Iexternal/zig_sdk/lib/libc/include/x86_64-linux-any \
-Iexternal/zig_sdk/lib/libc/include/x86-linux-any \
-Iexternal/zig_sdk/glibc-hacks \
<...>
So the next place it will find `stdio.h` is in `generic-glibc`, which already
uses the `__WORDSIZE`. If we make the "next" include to be the arch-specific
one instead of the generic-glibc, things start compiling again.
Fix the same fo musl.
