* `@clz`, `@ctz`, `@popCount`, `@bswap`, `@bitreverse` now
have a type parameter
* rename @bitreverse to @bitReverse
* rename @bswap to @byteSwap
Closes#2119Closes#2120
This defines `@sizeOf` to be the runtime size of a type, which means
that it is zero for types such as comptime_int, type, and (enum
literal).
See #2209
In addition to the pointer, this gives some visual feedback to the user
that the element is interactive. This is a very common style pattern
across the web.
* Instead of the only color scheme being dark, the language reference
now has a light theme by default, and respects the user's light/dark
preference via prefers-color-scheme media query. Most browsers don't
support this yet, so we just have to wait patiently for the future to
arrive. closes#2172.
* Instead of a side bar index, the index is inline with the rest of the
content. This is simpler and more friendly to all user agents, and means
we don't need the media query for mobile devices. It also makes
back-references work, so now headers link to the table of contents
and the table of contents links to headers.
Previously, global assembly was parsed expecting it to have
the template syntax. However global assembly has no inputs,
outputs, or clobbers, and thus does not have template syntax.
This is now fixed.
This commit also adds a compile error for using volatile
on global assembly, since it is meaningless.
closes#1515
* in Zig build scripts, getOutputPath() is no longer a valid function
to call, unless setOutputDir() was used, or within a custom make()
function. Instead there is more convenient API to use which takes
advantage of the caching system. Search this commit diff for
`exe.run()` for an example.
* Zig build by default enables caching. All build artifacts will go
into zig-cache. If you want to access build artifacts in a convenient
location, it is recommended to add an `install` step. Otherwise
you can use the `run()` API mentioned above to execute programs
directly from their location in the cache. Closes#330.
`addSystemCommand` is available for programs not built with Zig
build.
* Please note that Zig does no cache evicting yet. You may have to
manually delete zig-cache directories periodically to keep disk
usage down. It's planned for this to be a simple Least Recently
Used eviction system eventually.
* `--output`, `--output-lib`, and `--output-h` are removed. Instead,
use `--output-dir` which defaults to the current working directory.
Or take advantage of `--cache on`, which will print the main output
path to stdout, and the other artifacts will be in the same directory
with predictable file names. `--disable-gen-h` is available when
one wants to prevent .h file generation.
* `@cImport` is always independently cached now. Closes#2015.
It always writes the generated Zig code to disk which makes debug
info and compile errors better. No more "TODO: remember C source
location to display here"
* Fix .d file parsing. (Fixes the MacOS CI failure)
* Zig no longer creates "temporary files" other than inside a
zig-cache directory.
This breaks the CLI API that Godbolt uses. The suggested new invocation
can be found in this commit diff, in the changes to `test/cli.zig`.
