Constructs a vector from a & b, based on the values in the predicate vector. For indices where the predicate value is true, the corresponding
element from the a vector is selected, and otherwise from b.
* Added doc comments for `std.Target.ObjectFormat` enum
* `std.Target.oFileExt` is removed because it is incorrect for Plan-9
targets. Instead, use `std.Target.ObjectFormat.fileExt` and pass a
CPU architecture.
* Added `Compilation.Directory.joinZ` for when a null byte is desired.
* Improvements to `Compilation.create` logic for computing `use_llvm`
and reporting errors in contradictory flags. `-femit-llvm-ir` and
`-femit-llvm-bc` will now imply `-fLLVM`.
* Fix compilation when passing `.bc` files on the command line.
* Improvements to the stage2 LLVM backend:
- cleaned up error messages and error reporting. Properly bubble up
some errors rather than dumping to stderr; others turn into panics.
- properly call ZigLLVMCreateTargetMachine and
ZigLLVMTargetMachineEmitToFile and implement calculation of the
respective parameters (cpu features, code model, abi name, lto,
tsan, etc).
- LLVM module verification only runs in debug builds of the compiler
- use LLVMDumpModule rather than printToString because in the case
that we incorrectly pass a null pointer to LLVM it may crash during
dumping the module and having it partially printed is helpful in
this case.
- support -femit-asm, -fno-emit-bin, -femit-llvm-ir, -femit-llvm-bc
- Support LLVM backend when used with Mach-O and WASM linkers.
c_void is *not* simply `const c_void = opaque{};`. It has unique
semantics as any pointer type may coerce to `*c_void` which is not true
for an arbitrary `*opaque{}`.
The "Zig Test" section of the language reference has been moved between the
current "Hello World" section and the "Comments" section. This was done to
introduce the Zig test syntax before it is used in later sections.
The description of the Zig test feature has NOT been updated in this commit.
Closes#5837
* Remove parser error on double ampersand
* Add failing test for double ampersand case
* Add error when encountering double ampersand in AstGen
"Bit and" operator should not make sense when one of its operands
is an address.
* Check that 2 ampersands are adjacent to each other in source string
* Remove cases of unused variables in tests
This is for consistency with the documentation on sentinel-terminated
{arrays,slices,pointers} which already use `N` for a comptime-inferred
size rather than `X`.
Also adds a behavioral test to assert that a string literal is returned.
This was already the case, but the documentation failed to point out
that the returned value is of type `*const [N:0]u8`, i.e. that of a
string literal.
Also adds a behavioral test to assert that this is the case.
The Zig language specification will support identifiers and field access
in order to refer to which declaration to export with `@export`.
This commit implements the change in AstGen and updates the language
reference.
I want the language reference to be divorced from any particular
community. Also remove the call to action since the docs are
known to be incomplete and are not the current focus of the project.
Closes#9055
- hash/eql functions moved into a Context object
- *Context functions pass an explicit context
- *Adapted functions pass specialized keys and contexts
- new getPtr() function returns a pointer to value
- remove functions renamed to fetchRemove
- new remove functions return bool
- removeAssertDiscard deleted, use assert(remove(...)) instead
- Keys and values are stored in separate arrays
- Entry is now {*K, *V}, the new KV is {K, V}
- BufSet/BufMap functions renamed to match other set/map types
- fixed iterating-while-modifying bug in src/link/C.zig
This matches the behaviour for other targets in that
```
zig build-lib math.zig -target wasm32-freestanding
```
produces now `libmath.a` while
```
zig build-lib math.zig -dynamic -target wasm32-freestanding
```
is required to create a loadable Wasm module.
This matches the behaviour of other languages and leaves us
the ability to create actual static Wasm archives with
```
zig build-lib -static some.zig
```
which can then be combined with other Wasm object files and linked
into either a Wasm lib or executable using `wasm-ld`.
Update langref to reflect the fact we now ship WASI libc.

Master branch added `try` to a bunch of testing function calls, and some
lines also had changed how to refer to the native architecture and other
`@import("builtin")` stuff.

I had resolved those by removing `comptime` but master branch decided to
make the parameters `comptime`.
This also pulls in the updated default `zig build` install directory.
* docs: document the nosuspend keyword
* Specify that resuming from suspend is allowed in nosuspend
* Fix the description of the requirements of nosuspend
* Make use of nosuspend in some example code.
This is mainly motivated by the incorrect claim that "there would be
no way to collect the return value of amain, if it were something
other than void".
This makes a few changes to the base64 codecs.
* The padding character is optional. The common "URL-safe" variant, in
particular, is generally not used with padding. This is also the case for
password hashes, so having this will avoid code duplication with bcrypt,
scrypt and other functions.
* The URL-safe variant is added. Instead of having individual constants
for each parameter of each variant, we are now grouping these in a
struct. So, `standard_pad_char` just becomes `standard.pad_char`.
* Types are not `snake_case`'d any more. So, `standard_encoder` becomes
`standard.Encoder`, as it is a type.
* Creating a decoder with ignored characters required the alphabet and
padding. Now, `standard.decoderWithIgnore(<ignored chars>)` returns a
decoder with the standard parameters and the set of ignored chars.
* Whatever applies to `standard.*` obviously also works with `url_safe.*`
* the `calcSize()` interface was inconsistent, taking a length in the
encoder, and a slice in the encoder. Rename the variant that takes a
slice to `calcSizeForSlice()`.
* In the decoder with ignored characters, add `calcSizeUpperBound()`,
which is more useful than the one that takes a slice in order to size
a fixed buffer before we have the data.
* Return `error.InvalidCharacter` when the input actually contains
characters that are neither padding nor part of the alphabet. If we
hit a padding issue (which includes extra bits at the end),
consistently return `error.InvalidPadding`.
* Don't keep the `char_in_alphabet` array permanently in a decoder;
it is only required for sanity checks during initialization.
* Tests are unchanged, but now cover both the standard (padded) and
the url-safe (non-padded) variants.
* Add an error set, rename `OutputTooSmallError` to `NoSpaceLeft`
to match the `hex2bin` equivalent.
Previous wording made it seem like any signed or floating-point value would be allowed at comptime, whereas negative values do not work with `%`, and negative integers do not work with `/`.
In this commit, the code samples in the language reference have been changed to
use `std.testing.expect` rather than `std.debug.assert` when they are
written in `test` code. This will teach Zig learners best practices when
they write their own test code.
Not all uses of `std.debug.assert` have been replaced. There are examples where
using `assert` fits the context of the sample.
Using `std.debug.assert` in test code can lead to errors if running tests in
ReleaseFast mode. In ReleaseFast mode, the `unreachable` in `assert` is
undefined behavior. It is possible that `assert` always causes `zig test` to
pass thus possibly leading to incorrect test code outcomes. The goal is to
prevent incorrect code from passing test cases.
Closes#5836
* move the opaque section to after struct, enum, union, and add
hyperlinks
* improve the introduction of the zig build system. don't link to the
wiki.
* update to the latest zig init-exe example code
* rename headers to avoid redundant words such as "zig"
* simplify example code
* std.log: still print error messages in ReleaseSmall builds.
- when start code gets an error code from main, it uses std.log.err
to report the error. this resulted in a test failure because
ReleaseSmall wasn't printing `error: TheErrorCode` when an error
was returned from main. But that seems like it should keep working.
So I changed the std.log defaults. I plan to follow this up with a
proposal to change the names of and reduce the quantity of the
log levels.
* warning emitted when using -femit-h when using stage1 backend; fatal
log message when using -femit-h with self-hosted backend (because the
feature is not yet available)
* fix double `test-cli` build steps in zig's build.zig
* update docgen to use new CLI
* translate-c uses `-x c` and generates a temporary basename with a
`.h` extension. Otherwise clang reports an error.
* --show-builtin implies -fno-emit-bin
* restore the compile error for using an extern "c" function without
putting -lc on the build line. we have to know about the libc
dependency up front.
* Fix ReleaseFast and ReleaseSmall getting swapped when passing the
value to the stage1 backend.
* correct the zig0 CLI usage text.
* update test harness code to the new CLI.
This commit edits the "Hello, World!" introduction. It introduces Error Union
Types. Also, it changes `outStream` to `writer` in the code example and description.
To introduce the Zig programming language, the "Hello, world!" code sample now has
documentation to explain some of the features shown in the code sample
and contains links to those features in the rest of the documentation.
Writing style goals:
* Balance writing style to keep beginner and experience programmers interested.
* Be concise: allow the rest of the documentation to clarify language features.
This is an edge case that isn't too uncommon but is rather confusing to try to deduce without documentation, since it feels like `else` is being overloaded in this scenario and there's no obvious 'correct' behavior here. This just adds a test demonstrating how Zig currently behaves in this scenario.
The language reference's Index is a list of the documentation's contents in
order of appearance. This commit renames "Index" to "Contents" as in table of
contents. It also renames the HTML/CSS identifiers from "index" to "toc".
This commit generalizes `std.fs.wasi.PreopenList.find(...)` allowing
search by `std.fs.wasi.PreopenType` union type rather than by dir
name. In the future releases of WASI, it is expected to have more
preopen types (or capabilities) than just directories. This commit
aligns itself with that vision.
This is a potentially breaking change. However, since `std.fs.wasi.PreopenList`
wasn't made part of any Zig release yet, I think we should be OK
to introduce those changes without pointing to any deprecations.
