Feature improvements

\n

Don’t follow aliases when renaming symbol (#3199)

\n

Consider the following source file:

\n
const S = struct {\n    fn foo() void {}\n};\ncomptime {\n    const foo = S.foo;\n    foo();\n}\n

Build System Integration

\n

During the Zig 0.17 development cycle, the separation of maker process and configurer process has broken critical build system integration features in ZLS. Most of them have since been restored using the build system protocol but various regressions remain that are anticipated to be resolved during the next release cycle.

\n

On the positive side, the new protocol lays the foundation for future improvements in ZLS and related tooling. Especially editors could utilize it to integrate unit testing, fuzzing, code coverage reports or debugging capabilities that are fully aware of the Zig build system.

\n

All known regressions are tracked in #3277 and listed below:

\n

Package @imports in build.zig

\n

Type resolution for package imports in build.zig files have regressed.

\n

Upstream Zig Issue: ziglang/zig#36387

\n

Module @imports to exported modules without a compile step

\n

Type resolution for modules that are only exported using b.addModule but aren’t tied to a compile step have regressed.

\n

An build.zig file that would be affected:

\n
const std = @import("std");\npub fn build(b: *std.Build) void {\n    _ = b.addModule("foo", .{\n        .root_source_file = b.path("root.zig"),\n        .imports = &.{\n            .{ .name = "bar", .module = b.createModule(.{ .root_source_file = b.path("bar.zig") }) },\n        },\n    });\n}\n
\n

In the above example, @import("bar") will not be resolved.

\n

Upstream Zig Issue: ziglang/zig#36388

\n

Build system protocol file watching doesn’t work on windows

\n

File watching has regressed on windows due to a bug in the build system protocol. This does not affect the CLI when running zig build --watch.

\n

ZLS does work around this issue by receiving file save events through the LSP protocol. File changes through external programs (e.g. version control) will not be detected.

\n

Upstream Zig Issue: ziglang/zig#37236
