I don't think these belong in std, at least not in their current form.
If someone wants to add these back I'd like to review the patch before
it lands.

Clearing the analysis roots was very clever and all, but not actually
valid. We need to avoid *any* reference to the analysis errors if there
were any fatal files, and that includes sorting the errors!
Resolves: #22774
Sometimes we emit runtime instructions in comptime scopes. These
instructions will be discarded, but they allow comptime blocks to
contain intermediate runtime-known values, which is necessary for
expressions like `runtime_array.len` to work.
Since we will always throw away these runtime instructions, including
safety checks is a time waste at best and trips an assertion at worst!
Resolves: #20064
This commit allows using ZON (Zig Object Notation) in a few ways.
* `@import` can be used to load ZON at comptime and convert it to a
normal Zig value. In this case, `@import` must have a result type.
* `std.zon.parse` can be used to parse ZON at runtime, akin to the
parsing logic in `std.json`.
* `std.zon.stringify` can be used to convert arbitrary data structures
to ZON at runtime, again akin to `std.json`.
This commit effectively reverts 9e683f0, and hence un-accepts #19777.
While nice in theory, this proposal turned out to have a few problems.
Firstly, supplying a result type implicitly coerces the operand to this
type -- that's the main point of result types! But for `try`, this is
actually a bad idea; we want a redundant `try` to be a compile error,
not to silently coerce the non-error value to an error union. In
practice, this didn't always happen, because the implementation was
buggy anyway; but when it did, it was really quite silly. For instance,
`try try ... try .{ ... }` was an accepted expression, with the inner
initializer being initially coerced to `E!E!...E!T`.
Secondly, the result type inference here didn't play nicely with
`return`. If you write `return try`, the operand would actually receive
a result type of `E!E!T`, since the `return` gave a result type of `E!T`
and the `try` wrapped it in *another* error union. More generally, the
problem here is that `try` doesn't know when it should or shouldn't
nest error unions. This occasionally broke code which looked like it
should work.
So, this commit prevents `try` from propagating result types through to
its operand. A key motivation for the original proposal here was decl
literals; so, as a special case, `try .foo(...)` is still an allowed
syntax form, caught by AstGen and specially lowered. This does open the
doors to allowing other special cases for decl literals in future, such
as `.foo(...) catch ...`, but those proposals are for another time.

This check isn't valid in such cases, because the source and destination
pointers both refer to zero bits of memory, meaning they effectively
never alias.
Resolves: #21655
This instruction is like `intcast`, but includes two safety checks:
* Checks that the int is in range of the destination type
* If the destination type is an exhaustive enum, checks that the int
is a named enum value
This instruction is locked behind the `safety_checked_instructions`
backend feature; if unsupported, Sema will emit a fallback, as with
other safety-checked instructions.
This instruction is used to add a missing safety check for `@enumFromInt`
truncating bits. This check also has a fallback for backends which do
not yet support `safety_checked_instructions`.
Resolves: #21946
I recently saw a user hit the "comptime call of extern function" error,
and get confused because they didn't know why the scope was `comptime`.
So, use `explainWhyBlockIsComptime` on this and related errors to add
all the relevant notes.
The added test case shows the motivating situation.
* The langspec definition of `@memcpy` has been changed so that the
source and destination element types must be in-memory coercible,
allowing all such calls to be raw copying operations, not actually
applying any coercions.
* Implement aliasing check for comptime `@memcpy`; a compile error will
now be emitted if the arguments alias.
* Implement more efficient comptime `@memcpy` by loading and storing a
whole array at once, similar to how `@memset` is implemented.
Uses of `@embedFile` register dependencies on the corresponding
`Zcu.EmbedFile`. At the start of every update, we iterate all embedded
files and update them if necessary, and invalidate the dependencies if
they changed.
In order to properly integrate with the lazy analysis model, failed
embed files are now reported by the `AnalUnit` which actually used
`@embedFile`; the filesystem error is stored in the `Zcu.EmbedFile`.
An incremental test is added covering incremental updates to embedded
files, and I have verified locally that dependency invalidation is
working correctly.
