> a plan to transition to it for C compilation That's not planned AFAIK (see https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/16269 ). `translate-c` is really only intended for header transla…

Might not make it in time for 0.17 but there is a contributor making progress on the COFF linker: https://codeberg.org/kcbanner/zig/src/branch/coff_linker_wip

That would only interact with the shell, as `%` is not actually part of the environment variable name, it's just a way to tell the shell you want it to get the value of an environm…

They work just fine, as the drive-specific CWD is stored in the environment as a normally-hidden = : environment variable which has all the same WTF-16 and case-insensitive propert…

0.15.0 was effectively skipped: https://github.com/ziglang/www.ziglang.org/commit/1be0f80b15...

Good catch, that does indeed look like a mistake in the spec. Everything past the first sentence of that error description is suspect, honestly (seems like it was naively adapted f…

Appreciate it (I'm the author). I'd like to think there's a good bit of interesting stuff in here outside of the specific topic of named character reference tokenization.

FWIW here's what that looks like for Zig: https://ziglang.org/news/2024-financials/

As far as I'm aware, using the self-hosted backend for anything other than Debug mode is a goal, but a far-future goal. I believe the most relevant links are https://github.com/zig…

I'm probably not describing it fully accurately. See the link for the proper explanation.

My understanding is that Zig's incremental compilation will work on a much more granular level (i.e. functions, etc), so, for example, change one function and only that function (a…

For the miscompilations, the fix wouldn't add a new compile error. Instead, rc.exe would just start doing the right thing in certain scenarios, so previously broken things would st…

I think everything labeled 'miscompilation' could be fixed without breaking backwards compatibility, since triggering them always leads to an unusable/broken .res file. No clue how…

See https://www.ryanliptak.com/blog/zig-is-a-windows-resource-co... for an example of using the Zig build system to cross-compile an existing Windows GUI program written in C from …

Apologies if I got the tone wrong there, I definitely wasn't trying to roast the other projects. In terms of what I prioritized bug-for-bug compatibility on, I tailored it to getti…

Thanks! I'm actually pretty okay with where I've landed with FONT resources. The legwork has already been done in figuring things out, and with the strategy I've chosen, resinator …
