- Affects the following functions:
+ `std.fs.Dir.readLinkW`
+ `std.os.windows.ReadLink`
+ `std.os.windows.ntToWin32Namespace`
+ `std.posix.readlinkW`
+ `std.posix.readlinkatW`
Each of these functions (except `ntToWin32Namespace`) took WTF-16 as input and would output WTF-8, which makes optimal buffer re-use difficult at callsites and could force unnecessary WTF-16 <-> WTF-8 conversion during an intermediate step.
The functions have been updated to output WTF-16, and also allow for the path and the output to re-use the same buffer (i.e. in-place modification), which can reduce the stack usage at callsites. For example, all of `std.fs.Dir.readLink`/`readLinkZ`/`std.posix.readlink`/`readlinkZ`/`readlinkat`/`readlinkatZ` have had their stack usage reduced by one PathSpace struct (64 KiB) when targeting Windows.
The new `ntToWin32Namespace` takes an output buffer and returns a slice from that instead of returning a PathSpace, which is necessary to make the above possible.
The reasoning in the comment deleted by this commit no longer applies, since that same benefit can be obtained by using OpenFile with `.filter = .any`.
Also removes a stray debug.print
The build runner was previously forcing child processes to have their
stderr colorization match the build runner by setting `CLICOLOR_FORCE`
or `NO_COLOR`. This is a nice idea in some cases---for instance a simple
`Run` step which we just expect to exit with code 0 and whose stderr is
not being programmatically inspected---but is a bad idea in others, for
instance if there is a check on stderr or if stderr is captured, in
which case forcing color on the child could cause checks to fail.
Instead, this commit adds a field to `std.Build.Step.Run` which
specifies a behavior for the build runner to employ in terms of
assigning the `CLICOLOR_FORCE` and `NO_COLOR` environment variables. The
default behavior is to set `CLICOLOR_FORCE` if the build runner's output
is colorized and the step's stderr is not captured, and to set
`NO_COLOR` otherwise. Alternatively, colors can be always enabled,
always disabled, always match the build runner, or the environment
variables can be left untouched so they can be manually controlled
through `env_map`.
Notably, this fixes a failure when running `zig build test-cli` in a
TTY (or with colors explicitly enabled). GitHub CI hadn't caught this
because it does not request color, but Codeberg CI now does, and we were
seeing a failure in the `zig init` test because the actual output had
color escape codes in it due to 6d280dc.
Apple's own headers and tbd files prefer to think of Mac Catalyst as a distinct
OS target. Earlier, when DriverKit support was added to LLVM, it was represented
a distinct OS. So why Apple decided to only represent Mac Catalyst as an ABI in
the target triple is beyond me. But this isn't the first time they've ignored
established target triple norms (see: armv7k and aarch64_32) and it probably
won't be the last.
While doing this, I also audited all Darwin OS prongs throughout the codebase
and made sure they cover all the tags.
There is approximately zero chance of the Zig team ever spending any effort on
supporting Cygwin; the MSVC and MinGW-w64 ABIs are superior in every way that
matters, and not least because they lead to binaries that just run natively on
Windows without needing a POSIX emulation environment installed.
It's easy to do FP unwinding from a CPU context: you just report the
captured ip/pc value first, and then unwind from the captured fp value.
All this really needed was a couple of new functions on the
`std.debug.cpu_context` implementations so that we don't need to rely on
`std.debug.Dwarf` to access the captured registers.
Resolves: #25576
This fixes package fetching on Windows.
Previously, `Async/GroupClosure` allocations were only aligned for the
closure struct type, which resulted in panics when `context_alignment`
(or `result_alignment` for that matter) had a greater alignment.
`Clock.real` being defined to return timestamps relative to an
implementation-specific epoch means that there's currently no way for
the user to translate returned timestamps to actual calendar dates
without digging into implementation details of any particular `Io`
implementation. Redefining it to return timestamps relative to
1970-01-01T00:00:00Z fixes this problem.
There are other ways to solve this, such as adding a new vtable function
for returning the implementation-specific epoch, but in terms of
complexity this redefinition is by far the simplest solution and only
amounts to a simple 96-bit integer addition's worth of overhead on OSes
like Windows that use non-POSIX/Unix epochs.
ML-DSA is a post-quantum signature scheme that was recently
standardized by NIST.
Keys and signatures are pretty large, not making it a drop-in
replacement for classical signature schemes.
But if you are shipping keys that may still be used in 10 years
or whenever large quantum computers able to break ECC arrive,
it that ever happens, and you don't have the ability to replace
these keys, ML-DSA is for you.
Performance is great, verification is faster than Ed25519 / ECDSA.
I tried manual vectorization, but it wasn't worth it, the compiler
does at good job at auto-vectorization already.
