The most interesting thing here is the replacement of the pthread futex
implementation with an implementation based on thread park/unpark APIs.
Thread parking tends to be the primitive provided by systems which do
not have a futex primitive, such as NetBSD, so this implementation is
far more efficient than the pthread one. It is also useful on Windows,
where `RtlWaitOnAddress` is itself a userland implementation based on
thread park/unpark; we can implement it ourselves including support for
features which Windows' implementation lacks, such as cancelation and
waking a number of waiters with 1<n<infinity.
Compared to the pthread implementation, this thread-parking-based one
also supports full robust cancelation. Thread parking also turns out to
be useful for implementing `sleep`, so is now used for that on Windows
and NetBSD.
This commit also introduces proper cancelation support for most Windows
operations. The most notable omission right now is DNS lookups through
`GetAddrInfoEx`, just because they're a little more work due to having
a unique cancelation mechanism---but the machinery is all there, so I'll
finish gluing it together soon.
As of this commit, there are very few parts of `Io.Threaded` which do
not support full robust cancelation. The only ones which actually really
matter (because they could block for a prolonged period of time) are DNS
lookups on Windows (as discussed above) and futex waits on WASM.
Because these lists are very long in several cases and quite
varied, I opted to place them in the existing c/foo.zig files.
There are many other sets of network-related constants like this
to add over time across all the OSes. For now I picked these
because I needed a few constants from each of these namespaces for
my own project, so I tried to flesh out these namespaces
completely as best I could, at least for basic sockopt purposes.
Note windows has some of these already defined in ws2_32 as
individual constants rather than contained in a namespacing
struct. I'm not sure what to do with that in the long run (break
it and namespace them?), but this doesn't change the status quo
for windows in any case.
It is now composed of these main sections:
* Declarations that are shared among all operating systems.
* Declarations that have the same name, but different type signatures
depending on the operating system. Often multiple operating systems
share the same type signatures however.
* Declarations that are specific to a single operating system.
- These are imported one per line so you can see where they come from,
protected by a comptime block to prevent accessing the wrong one.
Closes#19352 by changing the convention to making types `void` and
functions `{}`, so that it becomes possible to update `@hasDecl` sites
to use `@TypeOf(f) != void` or `T != void`. Happily, this ended up
removing some duplicate logic and update some bitrotted feature
detection checks.
A handful of types have been modified to gain namespacing and type
safety. This is a breaking change.
Oh, and the last usage of `usingnamespace` site is eliminated.
I believe this was accidentally broken when the E enum for errno values
was introduces. These functions are quite the special case in that they
return the error value directly rather than returning -1 and passing the
error value through the errno variable.
In any case, using a u16 as the return type at the ABI boundary where a
c_int is expected is asking for trouble.
A pointer type already has an alignment, so this information does not
need to be duplicated on the function type. This already has precedence
with addrspace which is already disallowed on function types for this
reason. Also fixes `@TypeOf(&func)` to have the correct addrspace and
alignment.
* std.c: consolidate some definitions, making them share code. For
example, freebsd, dragonfly, and openbsd can all share the same
`pthread_mutex_t` definition.
* add type safety to std.c.O
- this caught a bug where mode flags were incorrectly passed as the
open flags.
* 3 fewer uses of usingnamespace keyword
* as per convention, remove purposeless field prefixes from struct field
names even if they have those prefixes in the corresponding C code.
* fix incorrect wasi libc Stat definition
* remove C definitions from incorrectly being in std.os.wasi
* make std.os.wasi definitions type safe
* go through wasi native APIs even when linking libc because the libc
APIs are problematic and wasteful
* don't expose WASI definitions in std.posix
* remove std.os.wasi.rights_t.ALL: this is a footgun. should it be all
future rights too? or only all current rights known? both are
the wrong answer.
Most of this migration was performed automatically with `zig fmt`. There
were a few exceptions which I had to manually fix:
* `@alignCast` and `@addrSpaceCast` cannot be automatically rewritten
* `@truncate`'s fixup is incorrect for vectors
* Test cases are not formatted, and their error locations change
The system linker shows warning when `msync` is linked instead of `__msync13`:
"warning: reference to compatibility msync(); include <sys/mman.h> for correct reference"
