ccf670c made using `return` from within a comptime block in a non-inline
function illegal, since it is a use of runtime control flow in a
comptime block. It is allowed if the function in question is `inline`,
since no actual control flow occurs in this case. A few functions from
std (notably `std.fmt.comptimePrint`) needed to be marked `inline` to
support this change.
DELETE_PENDING can happen when the file is yet to be closed for deletion
or if it never get closed. In that case, DeleteFile should assume the
file deletion is succeeding (no CloseHandle is required as it's a "failure"). In case of `DELETE_PENDING` failure, the file
may still exist. In which case if it's part of `deleteTree`, it will
eventually fail on `error.DirNotEmpty`.
Using `FILE_DELETE_ON_CLOSE` can silently succeed without reporting any error
on non-empty directory. This commit adds usage of NtSetInformationFile
which will report `DIRECTORY_NOT_EMPTY`.
`GetPhysicallyInstalledSystemMemory` uses SMBios to grab the physical
memory size which can lead to unecessary allocation and inacurate
representation of the total memory. Using `System_Basic_Information`
help to retrieve the physical memory which is not reserved for the
kernel/tables. This aligns better with the linux side as `/proc/meminfo`
does the same thing.
`GetProcessMemoryInfo` is implemented using `NtQueryInformationProcess`
with `ProcessVmCounters` to obtain `VM_COUNTERS`. The structs, enum
definitions are found in `winternl.h` or `ntddk.h` in the latest WDK.
This should give the same results as using `K32GetProcessMemoryInfo`
* Fix GetFileInformationByHandle compile error
The wrapper function was mistakenly referencing ntdll.zig when the actual function is declared in kernel32.zig.
* delete GetFileInformationByHandle since it's not used by the stdlib
This function is unused, and the current implementation contains a few footguns:
- The current wrapper treats all possible errors as unexpected, even likely ones like BUFFER_OVERFLOW (which is returned if the size of the out_buffer is too small to contain all the variable-length members of the requested info, which the user may not actually care about)
- Each caller may need to handle errors differently, different errors might be possible depending on the FILE_INFORMATION_CLASS, etc, and making a wrapper that handles all of those different use-cases nicely seems like it'd be more trouble than it's worth (FILE_INFORMATION_CLASS has 76 different possible values)
If a wrapper for NtQueryInformationFile is wanted, then it should probably have wrapper functions per-use-case, like how QueryObjectName wraps NtQueryObject for the `ObjectNameInformation` class
Move to c/darwin.zig as they really are libSystem/libc imports/wrappers.
As an added bonus, get rid of the nasty `usingnamespace`s which are now
unneeded.
Finally, add `os.ptrace` but currently only implemented on darwin.
This error means that there *was* a file in this location on the file
system, but it was deleted. However, the OS is not finished with the
deletion operation, and so this CreateFile call has failed. There is not
really a sane way to handle this other than retrying the creation after
the OS finishes the deletion.
- improve fn prototypes of process_vm_writev
- make the memory writable in the ELF file
- force the linker to always append the function
- write updates with process_vm_writev
Today I found out that posix_spawn is trash. It's actually implemented
on top of fork/exec inside of libc (or libSystem in the case of macOS).
So, anything posix_spawn can do, we can do better. In particular, what
we can do better is handle spawning of child processes that are
potentially foreign binaries. If you try to spawn a wasm binary, for
example, posix spawn does the following:
* Goes ahead and creates a child process.
* The child process writes "foo.wasm: foo.wasm: cannot execute binary file"
to stderr (yes, it prints the filename twice).
* The child process then exits with code 126.
This behavior is indistinguishable from the binary being successfully
spawned, and then printing to stderr, and exiting with a failure -
something that is an extremely common occurrence.
Meanwhile, using the lower level fork/exec will simply return ENOEXEC
code from the execve syscall (which is mapped to zig error.InvalidExe).
The posix_spawn behavior means the zig build runner can't tell the
difference between a failure to run a foreign binary, and a binary that
did run, but failed in some other fashion. This is unacceptable, because
attempting to excecve is the proper way to support things like Rosetta.
- Fixes the first few code units of the name being omitted (it was using `@sizeOf(FILE_NAME_INFO)` as the start of the name bytes, but that includes the length of the dummy [1]u16 field and padding; instead the start should be the offset of the dummy [1]u16 field)
- Replaces kernel32.GetFileInformationByHandleEx call with ntdll.NtQueryInformationFile
+ Contributes towards #1840
- Checks that the handle is a named pipe first before querying and checking the name, which is a much faster call than NtQueryInformationFile (this was about a 10x speedup in my probably-not-so-good/take-it-with-a-grain-of-salt benchmarking)
Also add `std.fs.has_executable_bit` for doing conditional compilation.
This adds the linux syscalls for chmod and fchmodat, as well as the
extern libc function declarations.
Only `fchmodat` is added to `std.os`, and it is not yet added to std.fs.
All but 3 callsites of this function in the standard library and
compiler were unnecessary and were removed in faf2fd18.
In this commit, the remaining 3 callsites are removed. One of them
turned out to also be unnecessary and has been replaced by slicing
directly with the length..
The 2 remaining callsites were in the very pointer-math heavy
std/os/linux/vdso.zig code which should perhaps be refactored to better
utilize slices. These 2 callsites are replaced with a plain
@ptrCast([*:0]u8, ptr) though could likely use std.mem.sliceTo() if the
surrounding code was refactored.
