fail to run zig build test on example from Export functions, variables, and types for C code to depend on

zig build test ./build.zig:8:48: error: array literal requires address-of operator to coerce to slice type '[]const []const u8' exe.addCSourceFile("test.c", [_][]const u8 {"-std=c99"});

seems slice is expected after make the following change.

    const cstr = [_][]const u8{"-std=c99"} ;
    exe.addCSourceFile("test.c", cstr[0..1]);

another problem,

 zig build test
error(compilation): clang failed with stderr: /home/xxx/zig/mathtest_c/test.c:1:10: fatal error: 'mathtest.h' file not found

I believe this is caused by emit-h not being enabled in stage1 builds.

seems slice is expected after make the following change.

From the docs, it is

exe.addCSourceFile("test.c", &[_][]const u8{"-std=c99"});

I believe this is caused by emit-h not being enabled in stage1 builds.

In that case, should this be marked as a duplicate of GH-6753?
