* If a function prototype is declarated inside a function, do not
translate it to a top-level extern function declaration. Similar to
extern local variable, just wrapped it into a block-local struct.
* Add a new extern_local_fn tag of aro_translate_c node for present
extern local function declaration.
* When a function body has a C function prototype declaration, it adds
an extern local function declaration. Subsequent function references
will look for this function declaration.
This commits adds the following distinct integer types to std.zig.Ast:
- OptionalTokenIndex
- TokenOffset
- OptionalTokenOffset
- Node.OptionalIndex
- Node.Offset
- Node.OptionalOffset
The `Node.Index` type has also been converted to a distinct type while
`TokenIndex` remains unchanged.
`Ast.Node.Data` has also been changed to a (untagged) union to provide
safety checks.
There are several more that we could support here, but I didn't feel
like going down the rabbit-hole of figuring them out. In particular,
some of the Clang enum fields aren't specific enough for us, so we'll
have to switch on the target to figure out how to translate-c them. That
can be a future enhancement.
This commit begins implementing accepted proposal #21209 by making
`std.builtin.CallingConvention` a tagged union.
The stage1 dance here is a little convoluted. This commit introduces the
new type as `NewCallingConvention`, keeping the old `CallingConvention`
around. The compiler uses `std.builtin.NewCallingConvention`
exclusively, but when fetching the type from `std` when running the
compiler (e.g. with `getBuiltinType`), the name `CallingConvention` is
used. This allows a prior build of Zig to be used to build this commit.
The next commit will update `zig1.wasm`, and then the compiler and
standard library can be updated to completely replace
`CallingConvention` with `NewCallingConvention`.
The second half of #21209 is to remove `@setAlignStack`, which will be
implemented in another commit after updating `zig1.wasm`.
`{}` for decls
`{p}` for enum fields
`{p_}` for struct fields and in contexts following a `.`
Elsewhere, `{p}` was used since it's equivalent to the old behavior.
Part of #19063.
Primarily, this moves Aro from deps/ to lib/compiler/ so that it can be
lazily compiled from source. src/aro_translate_c.zig is moved to
lib/compiler/aro_translate_c.zig and some of Zig CLI logic moved to a
main() function there.
aro_translate_c.zig becomes the "common" import for clang-based
translate-c.
Not all of the compiler was able to be detangled from Aro, however, so
it still, for now, remains being compiled with the main compiler
sources due to the clang-based translate-c depending on it. Once
aro-based translate-c achieves feature parity with the clang-based
translate-c implementation, the clang-based one can be removed from Zig.
Aro made it unnecessarily difficult to depend on with these .def files
and all these Zig module requirements. I looked at the .def files and
made these observations:
- The canonical source is llvm .def files.
- Therefore there is an update process to sync with llvm that involves
regenerating the .def files in Aro.
- Therefore you might as well just regenerate the .zig files directly
and check those into Aro.
- Also with a small amount of tinkering, the file size on disk of these
generated .zig files can be made many times smaller, without
compromising type safety in the usage of the data.
This would make things much easier on Zig as downstream project,
particularly we could remove those pesky stubs when bootstrapping.
I have gone ahead with these changes since they unblock me and I will
have a chat with Vexu to see what he thinks.
