on_build is now the sole post-build callback mechanism. Migrated the 9 callers
(0602/0603/1611/1614/1615/1616 + the platform bundle_main) from
opts.set_post_link_callback(cb) to on_build(cb), giving each callback the
(opt: BuildOptions) param. Deleted set_post_link_callback from build.sx,
compiler_lib (bound_fns + handleSetPostLinkCallback), and the VM arm.
Reworked the P5 smoke tests for the new semantics: an on_build override REPLACES
the build (must emit+link or delegate), unlike the old post-link callback which
ran after the auto-link. 1662 (queries) + 1664 (override+List-grow) now delegate
to default_pipeline for the real build; deleted 1661/1663 (the primitives are now
exercised by every AOT build). bundle_main invoked with pass_options=true.
Benign 37-.ir churn (build.sx shrank). 703/0 both gates.
Per user direction: the low-level abi(.compiler) primitive surface is the
comptime 'compiler' library, so name the file compiler.sx (a peer of build.sx)
instead of the interim std/build.sx — which also frees the 'build' name for the
default build IMPLEMENTATION (default_build + on_build slot), which will live in
modules/build.sx alongside the BuildOptions DSL.
Updated the two example imports + the plan's Phase 5 file-split note. 704/0
both gates.
The compiler emits the sx object eagerly (the Zig driver, before the post-link
callback), so emit_object is a QUERY (not an action): it returns the path from
a new BuildConfig.object_path field main.zig forwards — no driver vtable. This
completes the build-pipeline QUERY primitives (emit_object / c_object_paths /
link_libraries); only link (the genuine action) remains for the vtable step.
Extended examples/1662 to also assert emit_object().len > 0. 703/0 both gates.
Two abi(.compiler) build-pipeline primitives the sx driver will pass to link:
- c_object_paths() -> List(string) (#import c companion objects)
- link_libraries() -> List(string) (#library names)
They live in a new stdlib home library/modules/std/build.sx and are serviced
by comptime_vm.callCompilerFn reading two new BuildConfig fields that main.zig
forwards before the post-link callback. New reusable VM helper makeStringList
builds a List(string) in flat memory from the call's result type offsets
(target-aware); invoke/callCompilerFn now thread ins.ty for that. Legacy
handlers bail loudly (VM-only by nature — post-link; List(string) isn't
faithfully buildable in the legacy Value model, 0141).
Smoke test examples/1662-platform-build-pipeline-queries (AOT + a 1-line C
#source → one object): a post-link callback verifies the VM-built list is
well-formed; build exit 0 only if so (negative-probe confirmed a real guard).
emit_object + link (the actions) deferred to P5.2b — they replace the Zig
driver's auto-emit/auto-link and need a host-installed callback vtable.
703/0 both gates.
