* error.BadFd is not a valid error code. it would always be a bug to
get this error code.
* merge error.Io with existing error.InputOutput
* merge error.PathNotFound with existing error.FileNotFound.
Not all OS's support both.
* add os.File.openReadC
* add error.BadPathName for windows file operations with invalid
characters
* add os.toPosixPath to help stack allocate a null terminating byte
* add some TODOs for other functions to investigate removing the
allocator requirement
* optimize some implementations to use the alternate functions when
a null byte is already available
* add a missing error.SkipZigTest
* os.selfExePath uses a non-allocating API
* os.selfExeDirPath uses a non-allocating API
* os.path.real uses a non-allocating API
* add os.path.realAlloc and os.path.realC
* convert many windows syscalls to use the W versions (See #534)
Tracking Issue #1252 ;
hw.ncpu was deprecated in macOS. Among 4 new options available (hw.{physicalcpu, physicalcpu_max, logicalcpu, logicalcpu_max}), hw.logicalcpu was chosen because it actually reflects the number of logical cores the OS sees.
* 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
