errors with nightly zig to "build --release" on windows

[0x546F6D]

I get the following 2 errors when trying to build any of the release type (fast, small, safe) with zig-master. I tried with:

• zig-windows-x86_64-0.14.0-dev.1457
• zig-windows-x86_64-0.14.0-dev.1417

  const char *bd = __DATE__;

can be reproduced with:

zig build run_minimal --release=safe

There is no problem with zig-0.13 to "zig build --release" on windows, nor is there any problem with zig-master to just "zig build". The issue only occurs when using zig-master to "build --release" on windows.

This seems to be a zig master bug I'll try a minimal reproduction and report upstream

I solved the problem by modifying the code in civetweb.c. I'm not sure if it's the best practice, but it does work.

Code modification at civetweb.c:714:

#if !defined(WIN_PTHREADS_TIME_H)
#ifndef MUST_IMPLEMENT_CLOCK_GETTIME
#define MUST_IMPLEMENT_CLOCK_GETTIME
#endif
#endif

Code modification at civetweb.c:22173: The compiler complained about not being able to return a the certainty value, so we just need to provide a simple string.

const char *bd = "Sep 13 2024";

Maybe this issue should be raised directly to civetweb
