This test was originally introduced in 5f38d6e2e9, where it looked like this:
test "cast *[1][*]const u8 to [*]const ?[*]const u8" {
const window_name = [1][*]const u8{c"window name"};
const x: [*]const ?[*]const u8 = &window_name;
assert(mem.eql(u8, std.cstr.toSliceConst(x[0].?), "window name"));
}
Over the years, this has become more and more obfuscated, to the point that the verbosity of the `expect` call overshadows the point of the example. This commit intends to update this test to match the spirit of the original version of the test, while shedding the obfuscation.
This reverts commit a7de02e052.
This did not implement the accepted proposal, and I did not sign off
on the changes. I would like a chance to review this, please.
* `doc/langref` formatting
* upgrade `.{ .path = "..." }` to `b.path("...")`
* avoid using arguments named `self`
* make `Build.Step.Id` usage more consistent
* add `Build.pathResolve`
* use `pathJoin` and `pathResolve` everywhere
* make sure `Build.LazyPath.getPath2` returns an absolute path
