Replaced by the lockStderr functions of std.Io. Trying to make
`std.process.stderr_thread_mutex` be a bridge across different Io
implementations didn't work in practice.
This implementation is a bit of a hacky workaround, as we use a ntdll
API to grab the full path of the directory handle. As far as I can tell
this might be the only solution to the problem, as
kernel32.CreateProcessW takes a directory path as a string only.
I might be wrong though as haven't researched the problem thoroughly.
This commit shows a proof-of-concept direction for std.Io.VTable to go,
which is to have general support for batching, timeouts, and
non-blocking.
I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not so I'm putting it up for
scrutiny.
This commit introduces `std.Io.operate`, `std.Io.Operation`, and
implements it experimentally for `FileReadStreaming`.
In `std.Io.Threaded`, the implementation is based on poll().
This commit shows how it can be used in `std.process.run` to collect
both stdout and stderr in a single-threaded program using
`std.Threaded.Io`.
It also demonstrates how to upgrade code that was previously using
`std.Io.poll` (*not* integrated with the interface!) using concurrency.
This may not be ideal since it makes the build runner no longer support
single-threaded mode. There is still a needed abstraction for
conveniently reading multiple File streams concurrently without
io.concurrent, but this commit demonstrates that such an API can be
built on top of the new `std.Io.operate` functionality.
In Zig standard library, Dir means an open directory handle. path
represents a file system identifier string. This function is better
named after "current path" than "current dir". "get" and "working" are
superfluous.
- remove error.SharingViolation from all error sets since it has the
same meaning as FileBusy
- add error.FileBusy to CreateFileAtomicError and ReadLinkError
- update dirReadLinkWindows to use NtCreateFile and NtFsControlFile and
integrate with cancelation properly.
- move windows CTL_CODE constants to the proper namespace
- delete os.windows.ReadLink
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).
by defining the pointer contents to only be synchronized after explicit
sync points, makes it legal to have a fallback implementation based on
file operations while still supporting a handful of use cases for memory
mapping.
furthermore, it makes it legal for evented I/O implementations to use
evented file I/O for the sync points rather than memory mapping.
not yet done:
- implement checking the length when options.len is null
- some windows impl work
- some wasi impl work
- unit tests
- integration with compiler
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.
There's a good argument to not have this in the std lib but it's more
work to remove it than to leave it in, and this branch is already
20,000+ lines changed.
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.
This commit sketches an idea for how to deal with detection of file
streams as being terminals.
When a File stream is a terminal, writes through the stream should have
their escapes stripped unless the programmer explicitly enables terminal
escapes. Furthermore, the programmer needs a convenient API for
intentionally outputting escapes into the stream. In particular it
should be possible to set colors that are silently discarded when the
stream is not a terminal.
This commit makes `Io.File.Writer` track the terminal mode in the
already-existing `mode` field, making it the appropriate place to
implement escape stripping.
`Io.lockStderrWriter` returns a `*Io.File.Writer` with terminal
detection already done by default. This is a higher-level application
layer stream for writing to stderr.
Meanwhile, `std.debug.lockStderrWriter` also returns a `*Io.File.Writer`
but a lower-level one that is hard-coded to use a static single-threaded
`std.Io.Threaded` instance. This is the same instance that is used for
collecting debug information and iterating the unwind info.
