Zig 0.17.0-dev (Split by item)

This is an example of documentation generated by ZigDoc, an alternative to Zig's built-in Auto Doc feature. See also examples in other modes/formats. The project being documented here (as the example) is the Zig library itself.

/// Set this field to declare an upper bound on the amount of bytes of memory it will
/// take to run the step. Zero means no limit.
///
/// The idea to annotate steps that might use a high amount of RAM with an
/// upper bound. For example, perhaps a particular set of unit tests require 4
/// GiB of RAM, and those tests will be run under 4 different build
/// configurations at once. This would potentially require 16 GiB of memory on
/// the system if all 4 steps executed simultaneously, which could easily be
/// greater than what is actually available, potentially causing the system to
/// crash when using `zig build` at the default concurrency level.
///
/// This field causes the build runner to do two things:
/// 1. ulimit child processes, so that they will fail if it would exceed this
/// memory limit. This serves to enforce that this upper bound value is
/// correct.
/// 2. Ensure that the set of concurrent steps at any given time have a total
/// max_rss value that does not exceed the `max_total_rss` value of the build
/// runner. This value is configurable on the command line, and defaults to the
/// total system memory available.

/// The return address associated with creation of this step that can be useful
/// to print along with debugging messages.
