Rename `trimLeft` to `trimStart`, and `trimRight` to `trimEnd`.
`trimLeft` and `trimRight` functions remain as deprecated aliases for
these new names.

and expose object_host_name as an option for setting the lib name for
object files, since the wasm linking standards don't specify a way to do
it.

The goals of this branch are to:
* compile faster when using the wasm linker and backend
* enable saving compiler state by directly copying in-memory linker
state to disk.
* more efficient compiler memory utilization
* introduce integer type safety to wasm linker code
* generate better WebAssembly code
* fully participate in incremental compilation
* do as much work as possible outside of flush(), while continuing to do
linker garbage collection.
* avoid unnecessary heap allocations
* avoid unnecessary indirect function calls
In order to accomplish this goals, this removes the ZigObject
abstraction, as well as Symbol and Atom. These abstractions resulted
in overly generic code, doing unnecessary work, and needless
complications that simply go away by creating a better in-memory data
model and emitting more things lazily.
For example, this makes wasm codegen emit MIR which is then lowered to
wasm code during linking, with optimal function indexes etc, or
relocations are emitted if outputting an object. Previously, this would
always emit relocations, which are fully unnecessary when emitting an
executable, and required all function calls to use the maximum size LEB
encoding.
This branch introduces the concept of the "prelink" phase which occurs
after all object files have been parsed, but before any Zcu updates are
sent to the linker. This allows the linker to fully parse all objects
into a compact memory model, which is guaranteed to be complete when Zcu
code is generated.
This commit is not a complete implementation of all these goals; it is
not even passing semantic analysis.

Don't use the reader interface
Avoid unnecessary heap allocations
At first I started working on incorporating the Archive fields into the
Wasm data model, however, I realized a better strategy: simply omit
Archive data from the serialized linker state. Those files can be
trivially reparsed on next compiler process start. If they haven't
changed, great. Otherwise if they have, the prelink phase needs to be
restarted anyway.

Before, the wasm struct had a string table, the ZigObject had a string
table, and each Object had a string table.
Now there is just the one. This makes for more efficient use of memory
and simplifies logic, particularly with regards to linker state
serialization.
This commit additionally adds significantly more integer type safety.

it's not needed

Primarily, this moves linker input parsing from flush() into the linker
task queue, which is executed simultaneously with the frontend.
I also made it avoid redundantly opening the same archive file N times
for each object file inside. Furthermore, hard code fixed buffer stream
rather than using a generic stream type.
Finally, I fixed the error handling of the Wasm.Archive.parse function.
Please pay attention to this pattern of returning a struct rather than
accepting a mutable struct as an argument. This ensures function-level
atomicity and makes resource management straightforward.
Deletes the file and path fields from Archive and Object.
Removed a well-meaning but ultimately misguided suggestion about how to
think about ZigObject since thinking about it that way has led to
problematic anti-DOD patterns.

Deprecated aliases that are now compile errors:
- `std.fs.MAX_PATH_BYTES` (renamed to `std.fs.max_path_bytes`)
- `std.mem.tokenize` (split into `tokenizeAny`, `tokenizeSequence`, `tokenizeScalar`)
- `std.mem.split` (split into `splitSequence`, `splitAny`, `splitScalar`)
- `std.mem.splitBackwards` (split into `splitBackwardsSequence`, `splitBackwardsAny`, `splitBackwardsScalar`)
- `std.unicode`
+ `utf16leToUtf8Alloc`, `utf16leToUtf8AllocZ`, `utf16leToUtf8`, `fmtUtf16le` (all renamed to have capitalized `Le`)
+ `utf8ToUtf16LeWithNull` (renamed to `utf8ToUtf16LeAllocZ`)
- `std.zig.CrossTarget` (moved to `std.Target.Query`)
Deprecated `lib/std/std.zig` decls were deleted instead of made a `@compileError` because the `refAllDecls` in the test block would trigger the `@compileError`. The deleted top-level `std` namespaces are:
- `std.rand` (renamed to `std.Random`)
- `std.TailQueue` (renamed to `std.DoublyLinkedList`)
- `std.ChildProcess` (renamed/moved to `std.process.Child`)
This is not exhaustive. Deprecated aliases that I didn't touch:
+ `std.io.*`
+ `std.Build.*`
+ `std.builtin.Mode`
+ `std.zig.c_translation.CIntLiteralRadix`
+ anything in `src/`

closes #5019

Rather than using the logger, we now emit proper 'compiler'-errors just
like the ELF and MachO linkers with notes. We now also support emitting
multiple errors before quiting the linking process in certain phases,
such as symbol resolution. This means we will print all symbols which
were resolved incorrectly, rather than the first one we encounter.
|
|
Let's take this breaking change opportunity to fix the style of this
enum.
|
|
Use inline to vastly simplify the exposed API. This allows a
comptime-known endian parameter to be propogated, making extra functions
for a specific endianness completely unnecessary.
|
|
When parsing the table of contents containing the symbols and their
positions we initially used the index within the map to retrieve
the offset. However, during resizing of the underlaying array this
would invalidate those indexes which meant incorrect offsets were
being stored for symbols. We now use the current symbol index
to also get the index into the symbol position instead.

When an object file is being parsed from within an archive
file, we provide the object file size to ensure we do not
read past the object file. This is because follow up object
files can exist there, as well as an LF character to notate
the end of the file was reached. Such a character is invalid
within the object file.
This also fixes a bug in getting the function/global type
for defined globals/functions from object files as it was missing
the substraction with the import count of the respective type.
|
|
Wasm archive files are encoded the same way as GNU.
This means that the header notates the character index within
the long file name list rather than the length of the name.
The entire name is then delimited by an LF character (0x0a).
This also makes a cosmetic update to remove the `self` name,
and rather label it as `archive` instead.
|
|
Rather than finding the original object file, we seekTo to the
object file's position within the archive file, and from there open
a new file handle. This file handle is passed to the `Object` parser
which will create the object.
|
|
|
|
Lazily load object files by default, and only load the object file
when an unresolved symbol has been found within an archive.
|
|
This implements a very basic archive file parser that validates
the magic bytes, and then parses the symbol table and stores
the symbol and their position.
