Zig Tracking Issue #1
Description
⏰ - a separate issue must be opened when the relevant zig issue is closed
ziglang/zig#10392 - the 3DS OS (horizon) and its kernel (Kernel11 and Kernel9 to an extent) implement almost all relevant and useful functionality such as threading, process management, filesystem handling, ...
- [-] start.zig, panic.zig and relevant modules are automatically imported
- [-] non-linear heap page_allocator support in the zig std (depends on threading support for using the SbrkAllocator)
- [⏰] threading support in the zig std (a.k.a: std.Thread.xxx() and thread sync primitives): 3dbrew relevant page
- [⏰] fs support in the zig std (not supporting opening files from the std as you need to use a 'fs:XXX' service to open files and directories): 3dbrew relevant page
- [⏰] time support in the zig std: 3dbrew relevant page for timestamps and GetSystemTick for Instant
- [⏰] process support in the zig std (support Child spawning (doesn't make a lot of sense tho?)): 3dbrew relevant page
- [⏰] net support in the zig std (similar problems as the fs support): 3dbrew relevant page
ziglang/zig#18604 - currently we're only logging return addresses on panics / errors (not really useful for non-technical users...).
ziglang/zig#25005 - 64-bit atomics are not supported even though we're in ARMv6K hardware (which has ldrexd/strexd). PR ziglang/zig#24548 rewrites atomic operation feature checking, where the new checks should be if it lands obviously.
PS 1: Zig 0.16.0 will introduce the new IO interface which seems to be the major and maybe only thing that would need to be implemented for std support.
