,, zig cc is not the main purpose of the Zig project’’
This doesn’t make me confident that it is well maintained. I”m more interested in how it compiles the Linux kernel, or GNU tools, or any complex C code (and how it performs)
- dnautics 6y agoseriously, are lua and cgo not complex enough for you? if you're worried about maintenance, it's pretty high priority, given that the overall strategy for zig seems like "embrace, extend, and extinguish", with this being a key driver of the "extend" fork of the strategy. If that's not enough for you, it's my plan to later this year put up a bounty to for someone to demonstrate compilation of the BEAM virtual machine with zig cc. That's "basically an operating system".
- xiphias2 6y agoI wrote ,, Zig is not compatible with the existing C code base''. If it doesn't compile Linux, it's a non-starter as an extended version of a C compiler.
- dnautics 6y agoby your criterion clang was not "compatible with the existing C code base" for many years, and therefore a "non-starter". History would have proven you wrong.
