We now do not allocate memory for headers and other metadata unless
requested by the caller. Instead, we read-in the entire contents
of the image into memory and operate on pointers and casts wherever
possible. I have a left a TODO to hook up Windows' memory-mapped API
here in-place of standard `readToEndAlloc` which should be more memory
proof on memory constrained hosts.
This commit also supplements our `std.coff` with a lot missing basic
extern structs required to make our COFF linker.
With this change, it is now possible to safely call
`var di = std.debug.openSelfDebugInfo(gpa)`. Calling then
`di.deinit()` on the object will correctly free all allocated
resources.
Ensure we store the result of `mmap` with correct alignment.
target.Arch already supports finding the correct encoding for either
target, so being able to do the inverse has use cases for when parsing
files of an unknown target (i.e. for zar).
These calls are all late-initialization of ArrayList's that were initialized outside the current scope. This allows us to still get the potential memory-saving benefits of the 'precision' of initCapacity.
We already have a LICENSE file that covers the Zig Standard Library. We
no longer need to remind everyone that the license is MIT in every single
file.
Previously this was introduced to clarify the situation for a fork of
Zig that made Zig's LICENSE file harder to find, and replaced it with
their own license that required annual payments to their company.
However that fork now appears to be dead. So there is no need to
reinforce the copyright notice in every single file.
Added std.coff.MachineType
Added image characteristic and section flag valued to std.coff
Added std.Target.Cpu.Arch.toCoffMachine
Fixed stage2 --watch flag on windows
