Previously, buffers were used with toOwnedSlice() to create c strings
for LLVM cpu/feature strings. However, toOwnedSlice() shrinks the
string memory to the buffer's length, which cuts off the null terminator.
Now toSliceConst() is used instead, and the buffer is not deinited
so that the string memory is not freed.
* Implements #3768. This is a sweeping breaking change that requires
many (trivial) edits to Zig source code. Array values no longer
coerced to slices; however one may use `&` to obtain a reference to
an array value, which may then be coerced to a slice.
* Adds `IrInstruction::dump`, for debugging purposes. It's useful to
call to inspect the instruction when debugging Zig IR.
* Fixes bugs with result location semantics. See the new behavior test
cases, and compile error test cases.
* Fixes bugs with `@typeInfo` not properly resolving const values.
* Behavior tests are passing but std lib tests are not yet. There
is more work to do before merging this branch.
this also deletes C string literals from the language, and then makes
the std lib changes and compiler changes necessary to get the behavior
tests and std lib tests passing again.
Thanks to the Windows Process Environment Block, it is possible to
obtain handles to the standard input, output, and error streams without
possibility of failure.
* delete the std/event/net directory
* `std.event.Loop.waitUntilFdReadable` and related functions
no longer have possibility of failure. On Linux, they fall
back to poll() and then fall back to sleep().
* add some missing `noasync` decorations in `std.event.Loop`
* redo the `std.net.Server` API. it's quite nice now, but
shutdown does not work cleanly. There is a race condition with
close() that I am actively working on.
* move `std.io.OutStream` to its own file to match `std.io.InStream`.
I started working on making `write` integrated with evented I/O,
but it got tricky so I backed off and filed #3557. However
I did integrate `std.os.writev` and `std.os.pwritev` with evented I/O.
* add `std.Target.stack_align`
* move networking tests to `lib/std/net/test.zig`
* add `std.net.tcpConnectToHost` and `std.net.tcpConnectToAddress`.
* rename `error.UnknownName` to `error.UnknownHostName` within the
context of DNS resolution.
* add `std.os.readv`, which is integrated with evented I/O.
* `std.os.preadv`, is now integrated with evented I/O.
* `std.os.accept4` now asserts that ENOTSOCK and EOPNOTSUPP never
occur (misuse of API), instead of returning errors.
* `std.os.connect` is now integrated with evented I/O.
`std.os.connect_async` is gone. Just use `std.os.connect`.
* fix false positive dependency loop regarding async function frames
* add more compile notes to help when dependency loops occur
in determining whether a function is async.
* ir: change an assert to ir_assert to make it easier to find
workarounds for when such an assert is triggered. In this case
it was trying to parse an IPv4 address at comptime.
* Added `std.c.unlinkat` and `std.os.unlinkat`.
* Removed `std.fs.MAX_BUF_BYTES` (this declaration never made it to
master branch)
* Added `std.fs.Dir.deleteTree` to be used on an open directory handle.
* `std.fs.deleteTree` has better behavior for both relative and
absolute paths. For absolute paths, it opens the base directory
and uses that handle for subsequent operations. For relative paths,
it does a similar strategy, using the cwd handle.
* The error set of `std.fs.deleteTree` is improved to no longer have
these possible errors:
- OutOfMemory
- FileTooBig
- IsDir
- DirNotEmpty
- PathAlreadyExists
- NoSpaceLeft
* Added `std.fs.Dir.posix_cwd` which is a statically initialized
directory representing the current working directory.
* The error set of `std.Dir.open` is improved to no longer have these
possible errors:
- FileTooBig
- IsDir
- NoSpaceLeft
- PathAlreadyExists
- OutOfMemory
* Added more alternative functions to `std.fs` for when the path
parameter is a null terminated string. This can sometimes be more
effecient on systems which have an ABI based on null terminated
strings.
* Added `std.fs.Dir.openDir`, `std.fs.Dir.deleteFile`, and
`std.fs.Dir.deleteDir` which all operate on an open directory handle.
* `std.fs.Walker.Entry` now has a `dir` field, which can be used to do
operations directly on `std.fs.Walker.Entry.basename`, avoiding
`error.NameTooLong` for deeply nested paths.
* Added more docs to `std.os.OpenError`
This commit does the POSIX components for these changes. I plan to
follow up shortly with a commit for Windows.
* use erase rest of line escape code.
* use `stderr.supportsAnsiEscapeCodes` rather than `isTty`.
* respect `--color off`
* avoid unnecessary recursion
* add `Progress.log`
* disable the progress std lib test since it's noisy and uses
`time.sleep()`.
* enable/integrate progress printing with the default test runner
