Prints _Static_asserts for the size and alignment of all the basic built-in C
types. The output can be run through a compiler for the specified target to
verify that Zig's values are the same as those used by a C compiler for the
target.
It is impossible to even build projects like glibc when targeting a generic
SPARC v8 CPU; LEON3 is effectively considered the baseline for `sparc-linux-gnu`
now, particularly due to it supporting a CASA instruction similar to the one in
SPARC v9. However, it's slightly incompatible with SPARC v9 due to having a
different ASI tag, so resulting binaries would not be portable to regular SPARC
CPUs. So, as the least bad option, make v9 the baseline for sparc32.
`__xl_a` is just a global variable containing a null function pointer. There's
nothing magical about it or its name at all.
The section names used on `__xl_a` and `__xl_b` (`.CRT$XLA` and `.CRT$XLZ`) are
the real magic here. The compiler emits TLS variables into `.CRT$XL<x>`
sections, where `x` is an uppercase letter between A and Z (exclusive). The
linker then sorts those sections alphabetically (due to the `$`), and the result
is a neat array of TLS initialization callbacks between `__xl_a` and `__xl_z`.
That array is null-terminated, though! Normally, `__xl_z` serves as the null
terminator; however, by pointing `AddressesOfCallBacks` to `__xl_a`, which just
contains a null function pointer, we've effectively made it so that the PE
loader will just immediately stop invoking TLS callbacks. Fix that by pointing
to the first actual TLS callback instead (or `__xl_z` if there are none).
If there is a VDSO, it will have clock_gettime(). The main thing we're concerned
about is architectures that don't have a VDSO at all, of which there are a few.
There are two concepts here: one for whether dwarf supports unwinding on
that target, and another for whether the Zig standard library
implements it yet.
...which have a ucontext_t but not a PC register. The current stack
unwinding implementation does not yet support this architecture.
Also fix name of `std.debug.SelfInfo.openSelf` to remove redundancy.
Also removed this hook into root providing an "openSelfDebugInfo"
function. Sorry, this debugging code is not of sufficient quality to
offer a plugin API right now.
This target triple was weird on multiple levels:
* The `ilp32` ABI is the soft float ABI. This is not the main ABI we want to
support on RISC-V; rather, we want `ilp32d`.
* `gnuilp32` is a bespoke tag that was introduced in Zig. The rest of the world
just uses `gnu` for RISC-V target triples.
* `gnu_ilp32` is already the name of an ILP32 ABI used on AArch64. `gnuilp32` is
too easy to confuse with this.
* We don't use this convention for `riscv64-linux-gnu`.
* Supporting all RISC-V ABIs with this convention will result in combinatorial
explosion; see #20690.
After this commit:
`std.debug.SelfInfo` is a cross-platform abstraction for the current
executable's own debug information, with a goal of minimal code bloat
and compilation speed penalty.
`std.debug.Dwarf` does not assume the current executable is itself the
thing being debugged, however, it does assume the debug info has the
same CPU architecture and OS as the current executable. It is planned to
remove this limitation.
This code has the hard-coded goal of supporting the executable's own
debug information and makes design choices along that goal, such as
memory-mapping the inputs, using dl_iterate_phdr, and doing conditional
compilation on the host target.
A more general-purpose implementation of debug information may be able
to share code with this, but there are some fundamental
incompatibilities. For example, the "SelfInfo" implementation wants to
avoid bloating the binary with PDB on POSIX systems, and likewise DWARF
on Windows systems, while a general-purpose implementation needs to
support both PDB and DWARF from the same binary. It might, for example,
inspect the debug information from a cross-compiled binary.
`SourceLocation` now lives at `std.debug.SourceLocation` and is
documented.
Deprecate `std.debug.runtime_safety` because it returns the optimization
mode of the standard library, when the caller probably wants to use the
optimization mode of their own module.
`std.pdb.Pdb` is moved to `std.debug.Pdb`, mirroring the recent
extraction of `std.debug.Dwarf` from `std.dwarf`.
I have no idea why we have both Module (with a Windows-specific
definition) and WindowsModule. I left some passive aggressive doc
comments to express my frustration.
