This lets us generate the store with knowledge of the type to be stored.
Therefore, we can avoid generating garbage Air with stores through
pointers to comptime-only types which backends cannot lower.
Closes#13410Closes#15122
Can be changed to `!inst_ty.hisRuntimeBitsIgnoreComptime()` when the
"result location with inferred type ends up being pointer to comptime_int"
test stops producing Air containing a `bitcast(*comptime_int, ...)`.
See #13410
It did not handle properly when the dummy operand was a comptime_int; it
was crashing in coerce because comptime_int is supposed to be
comptime-known. So when calling coerceResultPtr, we pass the actual
operand, not a dummy operand, which means it will have the proper
comptime value when necessary.
Previously, the logic for analyzing coerce_result_ptr would generate
invalid bitcast instructions which did not include coercion logic, such
as optional wrapping, resulting in miscompilations.
Now, the logic of resolve_inferred_alloc goes back over all the
placeholders inserted by coerce_result_ptr, and replaces them with logic
doing the proper coercions.
Closes#12045
This reverts commit 8bf3e1f8d0, which
introduced miscompilations for peer expressions any time they needed
coercions to runtime types.
I opened #11957 as a proposal to accomplish the goal of the reverted
commit.
Closes#11898
* Sema: resolve type fully when emitting an alloc AIR instruction to
avoid tripping assertion for checking struct field alignment.
* LLVM backend: keep a reference to the LLVM target data alive during
lowering so that we can ask LLVM what it thinks the ABI alignment
and size of LLVM types are. We need this in order to lower tuples and
structs so that we can put in extra padding bytes when Zig disagrees
with LLVM about the size or alignment of something.
* LLVM backend: make the LLVM struct type packed that contains the most
aligned union field and the padding. This prevents the struct from
being too big according to LLVM. In the future, we may want to
consider instead emitting unions in a "flat" manner; putting the tag,
most aligned union field, and padding all in the same struct field
space.
* LLVM backend: make structs with 2 or fewer fields return isByRef=false.
This results in more efficient codegen. This required lowering of
bitcast to sometimes store the struct into an alloca, ptrcast, and
then load because LLVM does not allow bitcasting structs.
* enable more passing behavior tests.
The ensureUnusedCapacity did not reserve a big enough number. I changed
it to no longer guess the capacity because I saw that the number of
possible items was not determinable ahead of time and this can therefore
avoid allocating more memory than necessary.
Before, the system to replace a result location pointer with a
traditional break instruction did not notice the case when one of the
bodies was unreachable. Now, the emitted ZIR code is improved and
simplified in this case, resulting in a new passing behavior test.
* Value: rename `error_union` to `eu_payload` and clarify the intended
usage in the doc comments. The way error unions is represented with
Value is fixed to not have ambiguous values.
* Fix codegen for error union constants in all the backends.
* Implement the AIR instructions having to do with error unions in the
LLVM backend.

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.
