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`.
* Added error message 'ProcessNotFound' for reading and writing in a Linux
process.
This error occurs if the process to be read from or written to no longer exists.
Fixes#19875
* Added error message "ProcessNotFound" for error forwarding.
* Add error messgae for forwarding.
* Added message for forwarding.
* Error set completed.
* Fixed format error.
* Changed comments to doc comments.
Abi.android on its own is not enough to know whether soft float or hard float
should be used. In the C world, androideabi is typically used for the soft float
case, so let's go with that.
Note that Android doesn't have a hard float ABI, so no androideabihf.
Closes#21488.

Since we never hooked up the (experimental) DirectX LLVM backend, we've never
actually supported targeting DXIL in Zig. With Microsoft moving away from DXIL,
that seems very unlikely to change.
PR #20927 made some improvements to the `binarySearch` API, but one
change I found surprising was the relationship between the left-hand and
right-hand parameters of `compareFn` was inverted. This is different
from how comparison functions typically behave, both in other parts of
Zig (e.g. `std.math.order`) and in other languages (e.g. C's `bsearch`).
Unless a strong reason can be identified and documented for doing
otherwise, I think it'll be better to stick with convention.
While writing this patch and changing things back to the way they were,
the predicates of `lowerBound` and `upperBound` seemed to be the only
areas that benefited from the inversion. I don't think that benefit is
worth the cost, personally. Calling `Order.invert()` in the predicates
accomplishes the same goal.
The previous API used `std.testing.fuzzInput(.{})` however that has the
problem that users call it multiple times incorrectly, and there might
be work happening to obtain the corpus which should not be included in
coverage analysis, and which must not slow down iteration speed.
This commit restructures it so that the main loop lives in libfuzzer and
directly calls the "test one" function.
In this commit I was a little too aggressive because I made the test
runner export `fuzzer_one` for this purpose. This was motivated by
performance, but it causes "exported symbol collision: fuzzer_one" to
occur when more than one fuzz test is provided.
There are three ways to solve this:
1. libfuzzer needs to be passed a function pointer instead. Possible
performance downside.
2. build runner needs to build a different process per fuzz test.
Potentially wasteful and unclear how to isolate them.
3. test runner needs to perform a relocation at runtime to point the
function call to the relevant unit test. Portability issues and
dubious performance gains.
The compiler actually doesn't need any functional changes for this: Sema
does reification based on the tag indices of `std.builtin.Type` already!
So, no zig1.wasm update is necessary.
This change is necessary to disallow name clashes between fields and
decls on a type, which is a prerequisite of #9938.
In a `memoized_call`, store how many backwards braches the call
performs. Add this to `sema.branch_count` when using a memoized call. If
this exceeds the quota, perform a non-memoized call to get a correct
"exceeded X backwards branches" error.
Also, do not memoize calls which do `@setEvalBranchQuota` or similar, as
this affects global state which must apply to the caller.
Change some eval branch quotas so that the compiler itself still builds correctly.
This commit manually changes a file in Aro which is automatically
generated. The sources which generate the file are not in this repo.
Upstream Aro should make the suitable changes on their end before the
next sync of Aro sources into the Zig repo.
A compilation build step for which the binary is not required could not
be compiled previously. There were 2 issues that caused this:
- The compiler communicated only the results of the emitted binary and
did not properly communicate the result if the binary was not emitted.
This is fixed by communicating the final hash of the artifact path (the
hash of the corresponding /o/<hash> directory) and communicating this
instead of the entire path. This changes the zig build --listen protocol
to communicate hashes instead of paths, and emit_bin_path is accordingly
renamed to emit_digest.
- There was an error related to the default llvm object path when
CacheUse.Whole was selected. I'm not really sure why this didn't manifest
when the binary is also emitted.
This was fixed by improving the path handling related to flush() and
emitLlvmObject().
In general, this commit also improves some of the path handling throughout
the compiler and standard library.
