To clarify, I dont need help with this.

This is an error in zig that does not tell you where the error happened and is hard to trace. Is there a way to figure out where it happened?

You would use -freference-trace

#

By default it only shows a bit of the trace
This expands the limit by a lot so you see more of the trace

#

Which is what the error message says to do btw

where does it say it? yeah you are right, now its easy to see where it happened

#

but it does not tell me to use -freference-trace

#

Hm yeah its not there
In my experience, it always says something like "incomplete trace, use -freference-trace for a complete one"

I guess my zig does not feel like telling me

theres a bug somewhere that makes the build system not show the reference trace by default and that message is part of the reference trace itself
