On some platforms the conversion ended up creating a dangerous recursive
loop that ate all the stack.
The conversion to f16 is also pointless since we're operating on the raw
bits anyway.
Previously, `zig fmt` on the stage1 compiler (which is what we currently
ship) would perform what equates to `zig run std/special/fmt_runner.zig`
Now, `zig fmt` is implemented with the hybrid zig/C++ strategy outlined
by #1964.
This means Zig no longer has to ship some of the stage2 .zig files, and
there is no longer a delay when running `zig fmt` for the first time.
After 4df2f3d74f test names have the word "test" in them so the
redundant word is removed from test runner. Also move the prefix/suffix
to where it logically belongs in the fully qualified symbol name.
This modifies the build process of Zig to put all of the source files
into libcompiler.a, except main.cpp and userland.cpp.
Next, the build process links main.cpp, userland.cpp, and libcompiler.a
into zig1. userland.cpp is a shim for functions that will later be
replaced with self-hosted implementations.
Next, the build process uses zig1 to build src-self-hosted/stage1.zig
into libuserland.a, which does not depend on any of the things that
are shimmed in userland.cpp, such as translate-c.
Finally, the build process re-links main.cpp and libcompiler.a, except
with libuserland.a instead of userland.cpp. Now the shims are replaced
with .zig code. This provides all of the Zig standard library to the
stage1 C++ compiler, and enables us to move certain things to userland,
such as translate-c.
As a proof of concept I have made the `zig zen` command use text defined
in userland. I added `zig translate-c-2` which is a work-in-progress
reimplementation of translate-c in userland, which currently calls
`std.debug.panic("unimplemented")` and you can see the stack trace makes
it all the way back into the C++ main() function (Thanks LemonBoy for
improving that!).
This could potentially let us move other things into userland, such as
hashing algorithms, the entire cache system, .d file parsing, pretty
much anything that libuserland.a itself doesn't need to depend on.
This can also let us have `zig fmt` in stage1 without the overhead
of child process execution, and without the initial compilation delay
before it gets cached.
See #1964
This removes the compiler_rt.setXmm0 hack. Instead, for
the functions that use i128 or u128 in their parameter and
return types, we use `@Vector(2, u64)` which generates
the LLVM IR `<2 x i64>` type that matches what Clang
generates for `typedef int ti_int __attribute__ ((mode (TI)))`
when targeting Windows x86_64.
The flag is for generating correct arm-thumb interwork veneers in the
assembly code __aeabi_{memcpy,memset,etc} functions.
Armv6m only does thumb code generation regardless of whether arm or
thumb is selected and armv6t2 uses the newer thumb 2 set. All other
versions that zig supports pre-armv7 need the veneers and hence the
flag. Armv5 is actually armv5t.
Relevant code from clang/lib/Basic/Targets/Arm.cpp
```c
bool ARMTargetInfo::isThumb() const {
return ArchISA == llvm::ARM::ISAKind::THUMB;
}
bool ARMTargetInfo::supportsThumb() const {
return CPUAttr.count('T') || ArchVersion >= 6;
}
bool ARMTargetInfo::supportsThumb2() const {
return CPUAttr.equals("6T2") ||
(ArchVersion >= 7 && !CPUAttr.equals("8M_BASE"));
}
```

* Fixes to divsf3
Embarrassingly failed to notice a section that was unchanged from where
it was copied from mulXf3.zig. The test cases for this function series
div{s,d,t}f3 are very incomplete and don't exercise all code paths.
Remove unnecessary switch from divsf3 left during development from when
I tried to make it generic to support f32, f64, and f128 in one go.
Make runtime safety dependent on whether a test is being run.
* divsf3: switch plus to minus
This fixes comes thanks to Rich Felker from the musl libc project,
who gave me this crucial information:
"to satisfy the abi, your init code has to write the same value
to that memory location as the value passed to the [arch_prctl]
syscall"
This commit also changes the rules for when to build statically
by default. When building objects and static libraries, position
independent code is disabled if no libraries will be dynamically
linked and the target does not require position independent code.
closes#2063
* 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`.
