Add ability to output raw binary #4291
Conversation
|
Isn't this better suited as a easy-to-use build step rather than as a compiler feature? |
|
I agree with @LemonBoy here. A pure userland solution integrated with zig build would solve the real use case, and then later in the self hosted compiler it can take advantage of this code to integrate with the CLI. We can get away with stage1 not having CLI support for this. And we should get away with as minimal stage1 as possible to keep complexity under control. |
I'll change my PR to be userland-only in the zig build system |

…m-objcopy. To use it, do 'exe.installRaw("kernel.bin");' where exe is a LibExeObjStep

I believe all these @as are superfluous.

I believe this TODO comment can be deleted and the @as can be removed
Add InstallRawStep to Zig build system that does a similar job to llvm-objcopy. To use it, do
where exe is a LibExeObjStep
Part of #2826
See commit wendigojaeger/ZigGBA@4f7ffdc for an example of usage with the build system
