The tar format expects `/`, although some untar implementations do seem to handle Windows-style `\` path separators (7-Zip at least).
The tar.Writer API can't really enforce this, though, as doing so would effectively make `\` an illegal character when it's really not. So, it's up to the user to provide paths with the correct path separators.
`Build/WebServer.zig` will still output tars with `\` as a path separator on Windows, but that's currently only used during fuzzing which is not yet implemented on Windows.
Importantly, adds ability to get Clock resolution, which may be zero.
This allows error.Unexpected and error.ClockUnsupported to be removed
from timeout and clock reading error sets.
This error is actually only ever directly returned from `std.posix.getcwd` (and only on POSIX systems, so never on Windows). Its inclusion in almost all of the error sets its currently found in is a leftover from when `std.fs.path.resolve` called `std.process.getCwdAlloc` (https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/13613).
We already did this for some of them; this just makes us consistent. Doing this
gives the linker more flexibility to rearrange code/data, but more importantly,
allows --gc-sections to get rid of all the unused code, which is a real concern
for these libraries in particular.

this work is incomplete; it only moves code around so that environment
variables can be wrangled properly. a future commit will need to audit
the cancelation and error handling of this moved logic.
Rename `wait` to `await` to be consistent with Future API. The
convention here is that this set of functionality goes together:
* async/concurrent
* await/cancel
Also rename Select `wait` to `await` for the same reason.
`Group.await` now can return `error.Canceled`. Furthermore,
`Group.await` does not auto-propagate cancelation. Instead, users should
follow the pattern of `defer group.cancel(io);` after initialization,
and doing `try group.await(io);` at the end of the success path.
Advanced logic can choose to do something other than this pattern in the
event of cancelation.
Additionally, fixes a bug in `std.Io.Threaded` future await, in which it
swallowed an `error.Canceled`. Now if a task is canceled while awaiting
a future, after propagating the cancel request, it also recancels,
meaning that the awaiting task will properly detect its own cancelation
at the next cancelation point.
Furthermore, fixes a bug in the compiler where `error.Canceled` was
being swallowed in `dispatchPrelinkWork`.
Finally, fixes std.crypto code that inappropriately used
`catch unreachable` in response to cancelation without even so much as a
comment explaining why it was believed to be unreachable. Now, those
functions have `error.Canceled` in the error set and propagate
cancelation properly.
With this way of doing things, `Group.await` has a nice property: even if
all tasks in the group are CPU bound and without cancelation points, the
`Group.await` can still be canceled. In such case, the task that was
waiting for `await` wakes up with a chance to do some more resource
cleanup tasks, such as canceling more things, before entering the
deferred `Group.cancel` call at which point it has to suspend until the
canceled but uninterruptible CPU bound tasks complete.
closes#30601
use the application's Io implementation where possible. This correctly
makes writing to stderr cancelable, fallible, and participate in the
application's event loop. It also removes one more hard-coded
dependency on a secondary Io implementation.
Eliminate the `std.Thread.Pool` used in the compiler for concurrency and
asynchrony, in favour of the new `std.Io.async` and `std.Io.concurrent`
primitives.
This removes the last usage of `std.Thread.Pool` in the Zig repository.
