backend=auto (now the default if backend is omitted) means to let the compiler
pick whatever backend it wants as the default. This is important for platforms
where we don't yet have a self-hosted backend, such as loongarch64.
Also purge a bunch of redundant target=native.
In the best case, this is redundant work, because we aren't actually
going to emit a working binary this update. In the worst case, it causes
bugs because the linker may not have *seen* the thing being exported due
to the compile errors.
Resolves: #24417
This commit expands on the foundations laid by https://github.com/ziglang/zig/pull/23177
and moves even more `Sema`-only functionality from `Value`
to `Sema.arith`. Specifically all shift and bitwise operations,
`@truncate`, `@bitReverse` and `@byteSwap` have been moved and
adapted to the new rules around `undefined`.
Especially the comptime shift operations have been basically
rewritten, fixing many open issues in the process.
New rules applied to operators:
* `<<`, `@shlExact`, `@shlWithOverflow`, `>>`, `@shrExact`: compile error if any operand is undef
* `<<|`, `~`, `^`, `@truncate`, `@bitReverse`, `@byteSwap`: return undef if any operand is undef
* `&`, `|`: Return undef if both operands are undef, turn undef into actual `0xAA` bytes otherwise
Additionally this commit canonicalizes the representation of
aggregates with all-undefined members in the `InternPool` by
disallowing them and enforcing the usage of a single typed
`undef` value instead. This reduces the amount of edge cases
and fixes a bunch of bugs related to partially undefined vecs.
List of operations directly affected by this patch:
* `<<`, `<<|`, `@shlExact`, `@shlWithOverflow`
* `>>`, `@shrExact`
* `&`, `|`, `~`, `^` and their atomic rmw + reduce pendants
* `@truncate`, `@bitReverse`, `@byteSwap`
If both are used, 'else' handles named members and '_' handles
unnamed members. In this case the 'else' prong will be unrolled
to an explicit case containing all remaining named values.
Mainly affects ZIR representation of switch_block[_ref]
and special prong (detection) logic for switch.
Adds a new SpecialProng tag 'absorbing_under' that allows
specifying additional explicit tags in a '_' prong which
are respected when checking that every value is handled
during semantic analysis but are not transformed into AIR
and instead 'absorbed' by the '_' branch.
The rejection of #6025 indicates that if stackless coroutines return to
Zig, they will look quite different; see #23446 for the working draft
proposal for their return (though it will definitely be tweaked before
being accepted). Some of this test coverage was deleted in 40d11cc, but
because stackless coroutines will take on a new form if re-introduced, I
anticipate that essentially *none* of this coverage will be relevant. Of
course, if it for some reason is, we can always grab it from the Git
history.
Basically everything that has a direct replacement or no uses left.
Notable omissions:
- std.ArrayHashMap: Too much fallout, needs a separate cleanup.
- std.debug.runtime_safety: Too much fallout.
- std.heap.GeneralPurposeAllocator: Lots of references to it remain, not
a simple find and replace as "debug allocator" is not equivalent to
"general purpose allocator".
- std.io.Reader: Is being reworked at the moment.
- std.unicode.utf8Decode(): No replacement, needs a new API first.
- Manifest backwards compat options: Removal would break test data used
by TestFetchBuilder.
- panic handler needs to be a namespace: Many tests still rely on it
being a function, needs a separate cleanup.
Also remove `@frameSize`, closing #3654.
While the other machinery might remain depending on #23446, it is
settled that there will not be `async`/ `await` keywords in the
language.
