error: memory usage peaked at 6.05GB (6047436800 bytes), exceeding the
declared upper bound of 6.04GB (6044158771 bytes)
This value isn't meant to be OS-specific anyway.
this gets the build runner compiling again on linux
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.
This avoids pessimizing concurrency on all machines due to e.g. the macOS
machine having high memory usage across the board due to 16K page size.
This also adds max_rss to test-unit and test-c-abi since those tend to eat a
decent chunk of memory too.
We were already using this for `stage1/zig.h`, but `stage1/zig1.wasm`
was being modified directly by the `wasm-opt` command. That's a bad idea
because it forces the build system to assume that `wasm-opt` has side
effects, so it is re-run every time you run `zig build update-zig1`,
i.e. it does not interact with the cache system correctly. It is much
better to create non-side-effecting `Run` steps (using `addOutput*Arg`)
where possible so that the build system has a more correct understanding
of the step graph.
There is no straightforward way for the Zig team to access the Solaris system
headers; to do this, one has to create an Oracle account, accept their EULA to
download the installer ISO, and finally install it on a machine or VM. We do not
have to jump through hoops like this for any other OS that we support, and no
one on the team has expressed willingness to do it.
As a result, we cannot audit any Solaris contributions to std.c or other
similarly sensitive parts of the standard library. The best we would be able to
do is assume that Solaris and illumos are 100% compatible with no way to verify
that assumption. But at that point, the solaris and illumos OS tags would be
functionally identical anyway.
For Solaris especially, any contributions that involve APIs introduced after the
OS was made closed-source would also be inherently more risky than equivalent
contributions for other proprietary OSs due to the case of Google LLC v. Oracle
America, Inc., wherein Oracle clearly demonstrated its willingness to pursue
legal action against entities that merely copy API declarations.
Finally, Oracle laid off most of the Solaris team in 2017; the OS has been in
maintenance mode since, presumably to be retired completely sometime in the 2030s.
For these reasons, this commit removes all Oracle Solaris support.
Anyone who still wishes to use Zig on Solaris can try their luck by simply using
illumos instead of solaris in target triples - chances are it'll work. But there
will be no effort from the Zig team to support this use case; we recommend that
people move to illumos instead.
Previously, the `test-stack-traces` step was essentially just testing
error traces, and even there we didn't have much coverage. This commit
solves that by splitting the "stack trace" tests into two separate
harnesses: the "stack trace" tests are for actual stack traces (i.e.
involving stack unwinding), while the "error trace" tests are
specifically for error return traces.
The "stack trace" tests will test different configurations of:
* `-lc`
* `-fPIE`
* `-fomit-frame-pointer`
* `-fllvm`
* unwind tables (currently disabled)
* strip debug info (currently disabled)
The main goal there is to test *stack unwinding* under different
conditions. Meanwhile, the "error trace" tests will test different
configurations of `-O` and `-fllvm`; the main goal here, aside from
checking that error traces themselves do not miscompile, is to check
whether debug info is still working even in optimized builds. Of course,
aggressive optimizations *can* thwart debug info no matter what, so as
before, there is a way to disable cases for specific targets / optimize
modes.
The program which converts stack traces into a more validatable format
by removing things like addresses (previously `check-stack-trace.zig`,
now `convert-stack-trace.zig`) has been rewritten and simplified. Also,
thanks to various fixes in this branch, several workarounds have become
unnecessary: for instance, we don't need to ignore the function name
printed in stack traces in release modes, because `std.debug.Dwarf` now
uses the correct DIE for inlined functions!
Neither `test-stack-traces` nor `test-error-traces` does general foreign
architecture testing, because it seems that (at least for now) external
executors often aren't particularly good at handling stack tracing
correctly (looking at you, Wine). Generally, they just test the native
target (this matches the old behavior of `test-stack-traces`). However,
there is one exception: when on an x86_64 or aarch64 host, we will also
test the 32-bit version (x86 or arm) if the OS supports it, because such
executables can be trivially tested without an external executor.
Oh, also, I wrote a bunch of stack trace tests. Previously there was,
erm, *one* test in `test-stack-traces` which wasn't for error traces.
Now there are a good few!
These were low value and unfocused tests. We already have coverage of the
important aspects of these tests elsewhere. Additionally, there was really no
need for these to have their own test harness.
This reverts commit b461d07a54.
After some discussion in the team, we've decided that this is too disruptive,
especially because the linker errors are less than helpful. That's a fixable
problem, so we might reconsider this in the future, but revert it for now.
added adapter to AnyWriter and GenericWriter to help bridge the gap

std.fmt no longer has a dependency on std.unicode. Formatted printing
was never properly unicode-aware. Now it no longer pretends to be.
