Congrats Zig Team!
Allow me to comment from my professional perspective:
I have been working deep inside the spaghetti-stuffed soft underbelly of the computational infrastructures of multitudes of international “Big Science” projects and consortia.
Zig seems like a very, very good fit.
Are there any static code analysis tools that support it?
Such functionality would be a killer app…
Wild idea: what about building one inside Zig?
(or repurpose some other external tool to eventually integrate / be a “companion” tool and perform static analysis seamlessly)
PS: Of course with C support from the get go - maybe additionally other languages.
- throwawaymaths 4y agoIt would be awesome if zig implemented compiler hooks, for example: shoot off messages at various stages (sema of files, zir on individual functions, linker events), with some sort of defined binary structure (ok if it's defined in zig itself!) at say a tcp port.
- flavious 4y agoYes, that would be amazing, full classes of approaches to problem solving would be unlocked at once and we wouldn't have to invent new languages, DSLs, transpilers, etc, but just leverage zig.
