'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.
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.

bump zig
I am still quite puzzled on why I did this and in such a commit: it
bumps the zig version and changes the linker flag.
Working alone, experimentation time? Probably something like this.
Anyhow, this is a good example of the real value of code reviews.
The user may want to build with `--sandbox_tmpfs_path=/tmp`, in which
case the Zig cache will not be shared between sandboxes, massively
slowing down the build. With this feature, the user can pass flags
like `--repo_env=BAZEL_ZIG_CC_CACHE_PREFIX=$HOME/.cache/bazel-zig-cc`
together with `--sandbox_writable_path=$HOME/.cache/bazel-zig-cc` to
put the cache somewhere else which can be shared between sandboxes.
While integrating the project into our Bazel workspace, we had some
problems while building protoc in an Intel MacBook.
From my testing, the issue seems to be caused by missing include path
in the toolchain configuration to the `-none` variant of the headers.
More details below.
The issue can be reproduced directly inside `bazel-zig-cc` by including
the protobuf workspace as a dependency:
+http_archive(
+ name = "com_google_protobuf",
+ sha256 = "2d9084d3dd13b86ca2e811d2331f780eb86f6d7cb02b405426e3c80dcbfabf25",
+ strip_prefix = "protobuf-3.21.1",
+ url = "https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/archive/v3.21.1.zip",
+)
+
+load("@com_google_protobuf//:protobuf_deps.bzl", "protobuf_deps")
+
+protobuf_deps()
And then executing:
bazel build --platforms @zig_sdk//platform:darwin_amd64 @com_google_protobuf//:protoc
The command fails with the same error both in native compilation and
cross-compiling from Linux. The error:

Target @com_google_protobuf//:protoc failed to build
(<output_base> replaced manually to keep the description sane)
Note that the specific rule included in the error message will vary due
to parallelism, but the error is always the same and the missing paths
always have the same prefix (up to `x86_64-macos.10-none`).
After applying the patch, we confirmed that both native and cross compilations
works as expected and can properly build protoc.

As it expects Bash to be at `/bin/bash`, the current implementation
fails to execute on NixOS, given that there bash is in a non-standard
path (i.g. `/nix/store/<hash>-bash-interactive-<version>/bin/bash`).
This patch specifically changes `/bin/bash` paths to use `/usr/bin/env bash`,
which should give the correct path in every Unix system.

This is very cache-unfriendly, because quite a lot of work is done
during the final linking stage. Let's see how this improves performance
of fastbuild.
Bazel has a special command line option (--compilation_mode) for specifying how
c artifacts should be compiled. Copy over the implementation without too much
thought on whether they make sense.
See https://docs.bazel.build/versions/main/user-manual.html#flag--compilation_mode.
!!! Due to a regression in zig-cc, debug symbols are available under --compilation_mode opt

This linker flag causes undefined symbols to be ignored, which is the
default behavior on linux but not macos. This is required when building
shared libraries to use as e.g. Python modules. This also matches what
Bazel's built-in macos cc toolchain does.
Now that the toolchain supports multiple mirrors, we can have more
robust defaults: try ziglang.org first, then dl.jakstys.lt when that one
removes the build we rely on.
This will make builds less prone to inevitable failures of my home
server.
`zig cc` emits `--gc-sections` for the linker, which is incompatbile
with what CGo thinks about linking.
This commit adds a workaround: it will add `--no-gc-sections` to the
linking step if the command is not specified (falling back to the
default behavior of gcc/clang).

- upgrade zig to 0.8.1
- add preliminary aarch64 support. I don't have an aarch64 machine to
test this with, so landing as-is. However, this will be used as an
upstream repository, so hopefully the issues, if any, will flow in.
