2023-04-18Ensure the exercises use the canonical formatManlio Perillo
Add the check-exercises.py tool in the new tools directory. It is used to check that the exercises are correctly formatted, printing on stderr the invalid ones and the diff in the unified format. Update the exercises that don't use the canonical zig fmt format. Update some patches that cause the generated zig file to be incorrectly formatted.
2023-04-18ci: add a CI workflowManlio Perillo
Add a new github workflow named CI. Add a job named compat, checking that and old Zig compiler will not fail with a compiler error, but instead will print an useful error message.

build: restore compatibility with old Zig compilers
2023-04-18build: avoid intermixed messages on the same lineManlio Perillo
In same cases, the progress messages from the compiler are intermixed with the messages printed by ZiglingStep. This intermixing appears in two cases: - when printing, e.g., the message "Checking 0_arrays2.zig..." - when printing the compiler errors Closes #230
2023-04-18build: don't print errors in ZiglingStep.evalManlio Perillo
Move the code for printing compiler errors and messages to the new ZiglingStep.printErrors method. Call printErrors in the Zigling.doCompile method, both in the normal and error flow. When handling an error from the Zig IPC, add the case when the compiler was unable to return the executable path. Before using the IPC, the error was "The following command exited with error code 1" now it is "The following command failed to communicate the compilation result"
2023-04-18build: restore compatibility support againManlio Perillo
Commit e214c44 (build: update ZiglingStep to the new API) broke again the compatibility support for old compilers, due to the use of the multi-object for loop syntax. Move the Zig IPC support code to src/ipc.zig. Use the while statement, instead of the for statement.

2023-04-13build: update ZiglingStep to the new APIManlio Perillo
Update the code to the breaking change in ziglang commit c96cb98ad (CLI: remove --enable-cache option). Replace the --enable-cache option with the --listen=- option and use the Zig IPC to get the path to the executable. Closes #236
2023-04-13build: disable special case for `zig build -Dhealed`Manlio Perillo
The special case was added because it was used by the Eowyn github workflow. As a side effect, however, it prevents testing the normal case used by users. Disable it, until a better solution is found.

build: enable full parallelism when -Dhealed is set
2023-04-11build: make PrintStep thread safeManlio Perillo
Update PrintStep to always printing to stderr, using std.debug.print, so that the message is written atomically. Note that currently it is not an issue, since PrintStep prints the message before everything else.
2023-04-11build: simplify the code when solving all the exercisesManlio Perillo
Initialize the first step in the chain to the header_step, instead of making the code more complex handling the first step as a special case in the for loop.
2023-04-11build: restore compatibility supportManlio Perillo
Commit 0d56ba3 (build: restore the exercise chain) broke the compatibility support for old compilers, due to the use of the multi-object for loop syntax. Use the normal for loop syntax; the change still keep the code readable. Use the variable `n`, instead of `i`, when referring to the exercise number; this will improve the readability. Closes #227
2023-04-11build: improve PrintStep, SkipStep and PatchStep namesManlio Perillo
Use lover case for the step names. Add the exercise name for the SkipStep and PatchStep step name.
2023-04-11build: simplify code and add testsManlio Perillo
Simplify the code finding the exercise number from the exercise index, when the -Dn option is set. This is now possible since the exercise numbers have no holes. Add the validate_exercises function to check that exercise number are in the correct order, and call it at the start of the build function. Add tests, with 2 test cases.
2023-04-11build: add support for skipping exercisesManlio Perillo
Currently, exercises not working with the current Zig compiler are commented. This is problematic, since the exercise key and exercise index are no longer consistent. Add the skip field to the Excercise struct. Update ZiglingStep to support it and add a new SkipStep step to support it when using the standard build step.
2023-04-11build: ensure the exercise links libc, when neededManlio Perillo
When running, as an example, `zig build -Dhealed -Dn=93 test`, the build fails, because the `test` step use the standard CompileStep, instead of ZiglingStep. Ensure that exercises using libc are correctly built. Closes #229

2023-04-08build: enable full parallelism when -Dhealed is setManlio Perillo
The eowyn.sh script is used in a github workflow, but after commit 0d56ba3 (build: restore the exercise chain), the github action will take more time to complete. Enable full build parallelism, when -Dhealed is true and -Dn is null. Use the standard CompileStep and RunStep, instead of ZiglingStep. On my PC, this change reduces the build time by about 30%.

2023-04-07build: restore the exercise chainManlio Perillo
The new parallel build support in Zig broke the exercise chain, so that each esercise check is no longer strictly serialized. 1. Add the Dexno option, in order to isolate the chain starting from a named exercise from the normal chain, thus simplify the code. The current code have an additional issue: it added 4 x n steps, making reading the help message or the list of steps very hard. Add only the `install`, `uninstall`, `zigling`, `test` and `start` steps. The last three steps match the old steps `n`, `n_test` and `n_start`. The default step is zigling (note the singular form). The `install` step override the builtin install step, showing a custom description and matches the old `n_install` step. The uninstall step was added for consistency, so that the description is consistent. Setup a new chain starting at `zig build -Dexno=n start` so that it is stricly serialized. The behavior should be the same as the old one. 2. Handle the code for all the exercises separately. Add only the `ziglings step`, making it the default step, in addition to the install and uninstall steps. Setup a new chain starting at the first exercise, to that it is strictly serialized. The behavior should be the same as the old one. The current code has a know issue: the messages from the ZiglingStep and the ones from the compiler compilation progress are interleaved, but each message is written atomically, due to the use of `std.debug.getStderrMutex()`. Update the README.md file. Closes #202
2023-04-05build: fix the description of the named_install stepManlio Perillo
Replace the description of the named_install step from "Install {s} to zig-cache/bin" to "Copy {s} to prefix path". The latter has been adapded from the description of the builtin install step. Ad an empty line before the build_step variable, in order to improve readability. Closes #213

2023-04-04build: replace the logo step with the header stepManlio Perillo
Remove the logo step, and use PrintStep for the header step. The logo step was added as a quick fix after the Builder.addLog function was removed. Now the logo is no longer shown when running `zig build -l` or `zig build -h`.
2023-04-03build: restore support for Zig 0.6.0Manlio Perillo
The version check for Zig 0.6.0 was incorrect since commit 971ab7f (Use a zig build script to run ziglings). Move compatibility support to a separate file, in order to simplify build.zig. In case of incompatible version, exit with code 3 instead of 0, in order to detect the case of failure in a test (to be implemented). Remove the use of comptime when checking compatibility at the start of the build function, since it is not necessary. Closes #210.
2023-04-02build: make the logo a build stepManlio Perillo
Currently, the logo is always printed when the build script is executed, resulting in the logo being printed twice with `zig build -h` and `zig build -l`. Make the logo a build step, so that the logo is printed to stderr only when necessary. Closes #211
