This commit represents the majority of the work necessary to upgrade
Ghostty to use Zig 0.16.0.
Key parts:
* In addition to its previous responsibilities, the global state now
houses state for global I/O implementations and the process
environment. It is now also utilized in the main application along
with the C library. Where necessary, global state is isolated from key
parts of the implementation (e.g., in libghostty subsystems), and it's
expected that this list will grow.
* We currently manage our own C translation layer where necessary. In
these cases, cImport has been removed in favor of the new external
translate-c package. Due to fixes that have needed be made to properly
translate the dependencies that were swapped out, as mentioned, we
have had to backport fixes from the current translate-c package (and
the upstream Arocc dependency). We will host this ourselves until Zig
0.17.0 is released with these fixes.
* Where necessary (only a small number of cases), some stdlib code from
0.15.2 (and even from 0.17.0) has been taken, adopted, and vendored in
lib/compat.

If the CLI argument `--working-directory` is not used with
`+new-window`, the current working directory that `ghostty +new-window`
is run from will be appended to the list of configuration data sent
to the main Ghostty process. If `-e` _was_ used on the CLI, the
`--working-directory` that was appended will be interpreted as part of
the command to be executed, likely causing it to fail.
Instead, insert `--working-directory` at the beginning of the list of
configuration that it sent to the main Ghostty process.
Fixes#11356
As discussed in Discord, this commit drops the `ConfigOverride` object
in favor of a simpler method of passing the overrides around. Completely
avoiding changes to the core wasn't possible but it's very minimal now.
Fixes: #8862Fixes: #10716
This adds the machinery to pass configuration settings received over
DBus down to the GObject Surface so that that configuration information
can be used to override some settings from the current "live" config
when creating a new window. Currently it's only possible to override
`--working-directory` and `--command`. `-e` on the `ghostty +new-window`
CLI works as well.
Adding more overridable settings is possible, but being able to fully
override any possible setting would better be served with a major
revamp of how Ghostty handles configs, which I is way out of scope at
the moment.
Instead of using @hasDecl, use a performAction-stype API. The C
interface for interfacing with macOS (or any other apprt where Ghostty
is embedded) is unfinished.
This adds the `-e` flag to the `+new-window` CLI action. This allows a
command to be passed from the CLI to the running instance of Ghostty.
Nothing is done with that command besides logging its presence.
- Add a `GHOSTTY_CLASS` environment variables to any command executed by
Ghostty to make discovering the correct application ID easier.
- Add a flag to force the relelase application ID.
- Ensure that CLI flags to `+new-window` are mutually exclusive.
- Fix documentation about D-Bus activation requirements.
This will (on GTK) use a D-Bus method call to tell a running
Ghostty instance to open a new window. If D-Bus activation is
configured properly, Ghostty does not need to be running first.
This could be extended to other platforms, e.g. AppleScript on macOS
eventually.
When Ghostty develops a native API, that could be used instead to create
a new window.
