Идиома 1: Comptime Generics
BEFORE (Zig < 0.14)
// ❌ Old style - GenericList with comptime Child
fn GenericList(comptime Child: type) type {
return struct {
items: []Child,
len: usize,
pub fn init(allocator: std.mem.Allocator) !Self {
return Self{
.items = try allocator.alloc(Child, 16),
.len = 0,
};
}
};
}
Compile Error (V01):
error: 'Self' not found in scope
Diagnostic (Pi03): FixType.TYPEFUNCTION_FIX
Pattern Found (Phi02): "Use @This() for self-reference"
AFTER (Zig 0.15.1)
// ✅ New style - List with comptime T and @This()
fn List(comptime T: type) type {
return struct {
items: []T,
len: usize,
allocator: std.mem.Allocator,
pub fn init(allocator: std.mem.Allocator) !@This() {
return .{
.items = try allocator.alloc(T, 16),
.len = 0,
.allocator = allocator,
};
}
};
}
Идиома 2: Unmanaged Containers
BEFORE (Zig < 0.15)
// ❌ ArrayList.init(allocator) deprecated in Zig 0.15.1
var list = std.ArrayList(u8).init(allocator);
defer list.deinit();
try list.append('h'); // Error: no allocator parameter
Compile Error (V01):
error: struct 'array_list.ArrayList' has no member named 'init'
error: no field named 'allocator' in struct 'array_list.ArrayListAligned'
note: 'append' must be called with allocator parameter
Diagnostic (Pi03): FixType.UNMANAGED_FIX
Pattern Found (Phi02): "Use ArrayListUnmanaged for embedded/systems"
AFTER (Zig 0.15.1)
// ✅ ArrayListUnmanaged - explicit allocator
var list = std.ArrayListUnmanaged(u8){};
defer list.deinit(allocator);
try list.append(allocator, 'h'); // Allocator passed to append
Benefit: No allocator stored = 8 bytes saved per list!
Идиома 3: Inferred Error Sets
BEFORE (Explicit Error Set)
// ❌ Explicitly defined error set
const ParseError = error{
InvalidInput,
UnexpectedEof,
BufferOverflow,
};
fn parse(input: []const u8) ParseError![]const u8 {
if (input.len == 0) return error.InvalidInput;
// ...
return input;
}
Problems:
- Must maintain error list
- Errors from called functions not included
- Boilerplate code
AFTER (Inferred Error Set)
// ✅ Inferred error set - Zig 0.15.1
fn parse(input: []const u8) ![]const u8 {
if (input.len == 0) return error.InvalidInput;
// Errors automatically inferred from body
return input;
}
Benefit: Cleaner code, errors include all failures in function body!
Идиома 4: Build.zig Module System
BEFORE (Zig < 0.14)
// ❌ Old build.zig with root_source_file
const exe = b.addExecutable(.{
.name = "myapp",
.root_source_file = "src/main.zig", // Deprecated!
});
Compile Error:
error: root_source_file deprecated, use root_module
AFTER (Zig 0.15.1)
// ✅ New modular build system
const my_module = b.createModule(.{
.root_source_file = b.path("src/my_module.zig"),
.target = target,
.optimize = optimize,
});
const exe = b.addExecutable(.{
.name = "myapp",
.root_module = my_module, // Module-based!
});
Идиома 5: Raygui Glassmorphism
BEFORE (Basic Rectangle)
// ❌ Plain rectangle - boring!
rl.DrawRectangle(
.{ .x = 10, .y = 10, .width = 200, .height = 100 },
rl.Color.blue
);
AFTER (Glassmorphism with Glow)
// ✅ Glassmorphism: glow + glass + neon border
const bounds = rl.Rectangle{ .x = 10, .y = 10, .width = 200, .height = 100 };
const accent = rl.Color{ .r = 0, .g = 204, .b = 255, .a = 255 }; // Cyan
const radius: f32 = 8.0;
// Layer 1: Glow (expanded with transparency)
rl.DrawRectangleRounded(
.{ .x = bounds.x - 6, .y = bounds.y - 6,
.width = bounds.width + 12, .height = bounds.height + 12 },
radius, 8,
withAlpha(accent, 25) // ~10% opacity
);
// Layer 2: Glass background
rl.DrawRectangleRounded(
bounds,
radius, 8,
.{ .r = 20, .g = 20, .b = 35, .a = 180 } // Dark glass
);
// Layer 3: Neon border
rl.DrawRectangleRoundedLines(
bounds,
radius, 8, 2,
accent // Full opacity neon
);
Идиома 6: Comptime Sacred Math
BEFORE (Runtime Calculation)
// ❌ Calculated at runtime - SLOW!
fn calculatePhi() f64 {
return (1.0 + std.math.sqrt(5.0)) / 2.0;
}
Cost: Function call + sqrt at runtime every time!
AFTER (Comptime Constant)
// ✅ Comptime - calculated at compile time!
comptime {
const phi = (1.0 + @sqrt(5.0)) / 2.0; // = 1.618...
const golden_identity = phi * phi + 1.0 / (phi * phi); // = 3.0
_ = golden_identity;
}
// Or use const (Zig 0.15 detects comptime-ability)
const PHI: f64 = (1.0 + @sqrt(5.0)) / 2.0;
const TRINITY: f64 = PHI * PHI + 1.0 / (PHI * PHI); // = 3.0
// Verify at comptime
comptime {
std.debug.assert(TRINITY == 3.0, "Trinity identity broken!");
}
Benefit: Zero runtime cost! Compiler replaces with constant.
Идиома 7: Inline Unrolling
BEFORE (Runtime Loop)
// ❌ Runtime loop - branch overhead
fn sumArray(arr: [4]i32) i32 {
var sum: i32 = 0;
for (arr) |x| {
sum += x;
}
return sum;
}
Generated ASM: Loop with conditional branches
AFTER (Comptime Unrolled)
// ✅ Inline for - unrolled at comptime!
fn sumArrayUnrolled(arr: [4]i32) i32 {
var sum: i32 = 0;
inline for (arr) |x| { // inline = comptime unroll!
sum += x;
}
return sum;
}
// Or explicitly with comptime block:
fn sumArrayComptime(arr: [4]i32) i32 {
comptime {
var sum: i32 = 0;
inline for (arr) |x| {
sum += x;
}
return sum;
}
}
Generated ASM:
mov eax, dword [rcx]
add eax, dword [rcx + 4]
add eax, dword [rcx + 8]
add eax, dword [rcx + 12]
ret
No branches! Pure addition!
