Known issues
- The HTTP server we use for running WebAssembly examples, apple_pie, use async, so our WASM examples cannot auto-start a web server and open the browser anymore. Not the end of the world.
Zig issues we are blocked on
- stage2 regression: 'struct layout not resolved' for structs built at comptime ziglang/zig#12786
- stage2 regression in beginComptimePtrMutation ziglang/zig#12794
Zig issues we have hacky workarounds for
- stage2:
usingnamespacecan create ambiguous reference ziglang/zig#12429 - stage3: ICE with inlined functions / wrong number of parameters ziglang/zig#12433
- Segmentation fault when using @cImport on aarch64-macos ziglang/zig#12483
Zig issues that are problems for us, but haven't been filed yet
NOT YET FILED:
- Our
map-asyncexample (which does not use zig async) required adding a useless field to theAppfile struct (*Appis treated as*const Appfor some reason otherwise, not sure why. Need to make a minimal repro and file a bug.error: expected type '*main.main', found '*const main.main') a4ddfb6
