* link: add a virtual function `lowerUnnamedConsts`, similar to
`updateFunc` or `updateDecl` which needs to be implemented by the
linker backend in order to be used with the `CodeGen` code
* elf: implement `lowerUnnamedConsts` specialization where we
lower unnamed constants to `.rodata` section. We keep track of the
atoms encompassing the lowered unnamed consts in a global table
indexed by parent `Decl`. When the `Decl` is updated or destroyed,
we clear the unnamed consts referenced within the `Decl`.
* macho: implement `lowerUnnamedConsts` specialization where we
lower unnamed constants to `__TEXT,__const` section. We keep track of the
atoms encompassing the lowered unnamed consts in a global table
indexed by parent `Decl`. When the `Decl` is updated or destroyed,
we clear the unnamed consts referenced within the `Decl`.
* x64: change `MCValue.linker_sym_index` into two `MCValue`s: `.got_load` and
`.direct_load`. The former signifies to the emitter that it should
emit a GOT load relocation, while the latter that it should emit
a direct load (`SIGNED`) relocation.
* x64: lower `struct` instantiations
This commit updates stage2 to enforce the property that the syntax
`fn()void` is a function *body* not a *pointer*. To get a pointer, the
syntax `*const fn()void` is required.
ZIR puts function alignment into the func instruction rather than the
decl because this way it makes it into function types. LLVM backend
respects function alignments.
Struct and Union have methods `fieldSrcLoc` to help look up source
locations of their fields. These trigger full loading, tokenization, and
parsing of source files, so should only be called once it is confirmed
that an error message needs to be printed.
There are some nice new error hints for explaining why a type is
required to be comptime, particularly for structs that contain function
body types.
`Type.requiresComptime` is now moved into Sema because it can fail and
might need to trigger field type resolution. Comptime pointer loading
takes into account types that do not have a well-defined memory layout
and does not try to compute a byte offset for them.
`fn()void` syntax no longer secretly makes a pointer. You get a function
body type, which requires comptime. However a pointer to a function body
can be runtime known (obviously).
Compile errors that report "expected pointer, found ..." are factored
out into convenience functions `checkPtrOperand` and `checkPtrType` and
have a note about function pointers.
Implemented `Value.hash` for functions, enum literals, and undefined values.
stage1 is not updated to this (yet?), so some workarounds and disabled
tests are needed to keep everything working. Should we update stage1 to
these new type semantics? Yes probably because I don't want to add too
much conditional compilation logic in the std lib for the different
backends.
There are some restrictions here.
- We either need C11 or a compiler that supports the aligned attribute
- We cannot provide align less than the type's natural C alignment.
* push the arguments in reverse order
* add logic for pushing args of any abi size to stack - very similar to
`genSetStack` however, uses `.rsp` as the base register
* increment and decrement `.rsp` if we called a function with args on
the stack in `airCall`
* add logic for recovering args from the caller's stack in the callee
* implement `genSetStack` for `ptr_stack_offset`
* handle `ptr_add`
* implement storing from register into pointer in register
* split alignment and array tests into those that pass on x86_64 and
those that do not
* pass more tests on x86_64
* Fix backend using wrong union field of the slice instruction.
* LLVM backend properly sets alignment on global variables.
* Sema: add coercion for *T to *[1]T
* Sema: pointers to Decls with explicit alignment now have alignment
metadata in them.

Master branch added `try` to a bunch of testing function calls, and some
lines also had changed how to refer to the native architecture and other
`@import("builtin")` stuff.
