also start prefering NtDll API. so far:
* NtQueryInformationFile
* NtClose
adds a performance workaround for windows unicode conversion. but that
should probably be removed before merging
This moves the installation of shipped source files from large
CMakeLists.txt lists to zig build recursive directory installation.
On my computer a cmake `make install` takes 2.4 seconds even when it has
to do nothing, and prints a lot of unnecessary lines to stdout that say
"up-to-date: [some file it is installing]".
After this commit, the default output of `make` is down to 1
second, and it does not print any junk to stdout. Further, a `make
install` is no longer required and `make` is sufficient.
This closes#2874.
It also closes#2585. `make` now always invokes `zig build` for
installing files and libuserland.a, and zig's own caching system makes
that go fast.
Windows doesn't have rpaths for DLLs so we instead add
search paths to Path environment variable when running
an executable that depends on DLLs built with zig build.
closes#2024
there's a new cli option `--main-pkg-path` which you can use to choose
a different root package directory besides the one inferred from the
root source file
and a corresponding build.zig API:
foo.setMainPkgPath(path)
* 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)
