Hi, I would like to import lang/zig.
Zig is a general-purpose programming language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal, and reusable software. https://ziglang.org/ The target version is a development version (0.8.0-dev.1038+58344e001) as OpenBSD support is somehow partial in latest stable (0.7.1). The current development version is mostly functional: zig is able to build zig, testsuite mostly succeed (failure on crosscompilation), and I still have problems with .event loop which needs EVFILT_USER (or I need to implements .event differently). Zig is using llvm as backend (it should become an optional dependency at some point), and the current code support only llvm-11 (and work is in progress to support llvm-12). As we don't have these llvm versions in ports (neither in base), the port is using zig-bootstrap (https://github.com/ziglang/zig-bootstrap) repository, which provides llvm+clang+lld+zig all-in-one. The port is first building llvm-11, and next zig, which is statically linked to the llvm+clang+lld libraries (so no llvm-11 parts on disk at runtime). I polished the build to be able to build and link with llvm-11 whereas devel/llvm is installed, without conflicts. Patches on llvm-11 are minimal. The port isn't using the ${WRKSRC}/build script from upstream: this build script is intented to crosscompile zig to others platforms, and so llvm and zig are built two times. Instead of, I am providing a files/build.sh script to build, install and test. The port should be buildable on ${LLVM_ARCHS}, but I restricted it to a smaller archs sets: the zig0 compiler (zig stage0 compiler written in C++, and used to bootstrap to stage1) requires an insane datasize (6 Go). I kept only archs where datasize of pbuild user was big enough (amd64 arm64 and powerpc64). I have tested it on amd64 exclusively. Comments or OK ? -- Sebastien Marie
