* introduce std.atomic.Int
* add src-self-hosted/test.zig which is tested by the main test suite
- it fully utilizes the multithreaded async/await event loop so the
tests should Go Fast
* `stage2/bin/zig build-obj test.zig` is able to spit out an error if 2 exported
functions collide
* ability for `zig test` to accept `--object` and `--assembly`
arguments
* std.build: TestStep supports addLibPath and addObjectFile
* add std.atomic.QueueMpsc.isEmpty
* make std.debug.global_allocator thread-safe
* std.event.Loop: now you have to choose between
- initSingleThreaded
- initMultiThreaded
* std.event.Loop multiplexes coroutines onto kernel threads
* Remove std.event.Loop.stop. Instead the event loop run() function
returns once there are no pending coroutines.
* fix crash in ir.cpp for calling methods under some conditions
* small progress self-hosted compiler, analyzing top level declarations
* Introduce std.event.Lock for synchronizing coroutines
* introduce std.event.Locked(T) for data that only 1 coroutine should
modify at once.
* make the self hosted compiler use multi threaded event loop
* make std.heap.DirectAllocator thread-safe
See #174
TODO:
* call sched_getaffinity instead of hard coding thread pool size 4
* support for Windows and MacOS
* #1194
* #1197
This is akin to channels in Go, except:
* implemented in userland
* they are lock-free and thread-safe
* they integrate with the userland event loop
The self hosted compiler is changed to use a channel for events,
and made to stay alive, watching files and performing builds when
things change, however the main.zig file exits after 1 build.
Note that nothing is actually built yet, it just parses the input
and then declares that the build succeeded.
Next items to do:
* add windows and macos support for std.event.Loop
* improve the event loop stop() operation
* make the event loop multiplex coroutines onto kernel threads
* watch source file for updates, and provide AST diffs
(at least list the top level declaration changes)
* top level declaration analysis
zig fmt accepts any number of file paths. For each one, if it
is a file, then it formats the file. If it is a directory, then
zig recursively scans the directory, formatting all files that
end in `.zig`.
it maintains a map of paths that have been seen already, to avoid
softlink loops.

zig-fmt-pointer-reform-2 branch.
This will convert all & into *. Due to the syntax
ambiguity (which is why we are making this change),
even address-of & will turn into *, so you'll have
to manually fix thes instances. You will be guaranteed
to get compile errors for them - expected 'type', found 'foo'
It doesn't actually do terminal color yet because we need to add
cross platform terminal color abstractions. But it toggles between
the single line error reporting and the multiline error reporting.
