* Add AIR instructions: ret_ptr, ret_load
- This allows Sema to be blissfully unaware of the backend's decision
to implement by-val/by-ref semantics for struct/union/array types.
Backends can lower these simply as alloc, load, ret instructions,
or they can take advantage of them to use a result pointer.
* Add AIR instruction: array_elem_val
- Allows for better codegen for `Sema.elemVal`.
* Implement calculation of ABI alignment and ABI size for unions.
* Before appending the following AIR instructions to a block,
resolveTypeLayout is called on the type:
- call - return type
- ret - return type
- store_ptr - elem type
* Sema: fix memory leak in `zirArrayInit` and other cleanups to this
function.
* x86_64: implement the full x86_64 C ABI according to the spec
* Type: implement `intInfo` for error sets.
* Type: implement `intTagType` for tagged unions.
The Zig type tag `Fn` is now used exclusively for function bodies.
Function pointers are modeled as `*const T` where `T` is a `Fn` type.
* The `call` AIR instruction now allows a function pointer operand as
well as a function operand.
* Sema now has a coercion from function body to function pointer.
* Function type syntax, e.g. `fn()void`, now returns zig tag type of
Pointer with child Fn, rather than Fn directly.
- I think this should probably be reverted. Will discuss the lang
specs before doing this. Idea being that function pointers would
need to be specified as `*const fn()void` rather than `fn() void`.
LLVM backend:
* Enable calling the panic handler (previously this just
emitted `@breakpoint()` since the backend could not handle the panic
function).
* Implement sret
* Introduce `isByRef` and implement it for structs and arrays. Types
that are `isByRef` are now passed as pointers to functions, and e.g.
`elem_val` will return a pointer instead of doing a load.
* Move the function type creating code from `resolveLlvmFunction` to
`llvmType` where it belongs; now there is only 1 instance of this
logic instead of two.
* Add the `nonnull` attribute to non-optional pointer parameters.
* Fix `resolveGlobalDecl` not using fully-qualified names and not using
the `decl_map`.
* Implement `genTypedValue` for pointer-like optionals.
* Fix memory leak when lowering `block` instruction and OOM occurs.
* Implement volatile checks where relevant.
Before, Sema for comptime `@bitCast` would return the same Value but
change the Type. This gave invalid results because, for example, an
integer Value when the Type is a float would be interpreted numerically,
but `@bitCast` needs it to reinterpret how they would be stored in
memory.
This requires a mechanism to serialize a Value to a byte buffer and
deserialize a Value from a byte buffer.
Not done yet, but needs to happen: comptime dereferencing a pointer
to a Decl needs to perform a comptime bitcast on the loaded value.
Currently the value is silently wrong in the same way that `@bitCast`
was silently wrong before this commit.
The logic in Value for handling readFromMemory for large integers is
only correct for small integers. It needs to be fleshed out for proper
big integers.
As part of this change:
* std.math.big.Int: initial implementations of readTwosComplement and
writeTwosComplement. They only support bit_count <= 128 so far and
panic otherwise.
* compiler-rt: move the compareXf2 exports over to the stage2 section.
Even with the improvements in this commit, I'm still seeing test
failures in the widening behavior tests; more investigation is
needed.
This was an attempt to move saturating_arithmetic.zig to the "passing
for stage2" section, which did not pan out due to the discovery of 2
prerequisite items that need to be done, but I did make a bug fix along
the way of the calculation of max/min integers.
This commit also simplifies the saturating arithmetic behavior tests to
depend on less of the zig language that is not related to saturating
arithmetic.
* AIR: add `mod` instruction for modulus division
- Implement for LLVM backend
* Sema: implement `@mod`, `@rem`, and `%`.
* Sema: fix comptime switch evaluation
* Sema: implement comptime shift left
* Sema: fix the logic inside analyzeArithmetic to handle all the
nuances between the different mathematical operations.
- Implement comptime wrapping operations
* Merge call zir instructions to make space for field_call
* Fix bug with comptime known anytype args
* Delete the param_type zir instruction
* Move some passing tests to stage 2
* Implement a.b() function calls
* Add field_call_bind support for call and field builtins
* AstGen: fix not emitting `struct_init_empty` when an explicit type is
present in struct initialization syntax.
* AstGen: these two syntaxes now lower to identical ZIR:
- `var a = A{ .b = c };`
- `var a = @as(A, .{ .b = c });`
* Zir: clarify `auto_enum_tag` in the doc comments.
* LLVM Backend: fix lowering of function return types when the type has
0 bits.
* prepare compiler-rt to support being compiled by stage2
- put in a few minor workarounds that will be removed later, such as
using `builtin.stage2_arch` rather than `builtin.cpu.arch`.
- only try to export a few symbols for now - we'll move more symbols
over to the "working in stage2" section as they become functional
and gain test coverage.
- use `inline fn` at function declarations rather than `@call` with an
always_inline modifier at the callsites, to avoid depending on the
anonymous array literal syntax language feature (for now).
* AIR: replace floatcast instruction with fptrunc and fpext for
shortening and widening floating point values, respectively.
* Introduce a new ZIR instruction, `export_value`, which implements
`@export` for the case when the thing to be exported is a local
comptime value that points to a function.
- AstGen: fix `@export` not properly reporting ambiguous decl
references.
* Sema: handle ExportOptions linkage. The value is now available to all
backends.
- Implement setting global linkage as appropriate in the LLVM
backend. I did not yet inspect the LLVM IR, so this still needs to
be audited. There is already a pending task to make sure the alias
stuff is working as intended, and this is related.
- Sema almost handles section, just a tiny bit more code is needed in
`resolveExportOptions`.
* Sema: implement float widening and shortening for both `@floatCast`
and float coercion.
- Implement the LLVM backend code for this as well.
- adds 1 simple behavior tests for each
which does integer and vector ops at
runtime and comptime
- adds bigint_*_sat() methods for each
- use CreateIntrinsic() which accepts a
variable number of arguments to pass
the scale parameter
* update langref
- added case to test/compile_errors.zig given floats
- explain upstream bug in llvm.smul.fix.sat and link to #9643 in langref and commented out test cases
* sat-arithmetic: skip mul tests if arch == .wasm32 because ci is erroring with 'LLVM ERROR: Unable to expand fixed point multiplication' when compiling for wasm32
The big change in this commit is making `semaDecl` resolve the fields if
the Decl ends up being a struct or union. It needs to do this while
the `Sema` is still in scope, because it will have the resolved AIR
instructions that the field type expressions possibly reference. We do
this after the decl is populated and set to `complete` so that a `Decl`
may reference itself.
Everything else is fixes and improvements to make the test suite pass
again after making this change.
* New AIR instruction: `ptr_elem_ptr`
- Implemented for LLVM backend
* New Type tag: `type_info` which represents `std.builtin.TypeInfo`. It
is used by AstGen for the operand type of `@Type`.
* ZIR instruction `set_float_mode` uses `coerced_ty` to avoid
superfluous `as` instruction on operand.
* ZIR instruction `Type` uses `coerced_ty` to properly handle result
location type of operand.
* Fix two instances of `enum_nonexhaustive` Value Tag not handled
properly - it should generally be handled the same as `enum_full`.
* Fix struct and union field resolution not copying Type and Value
objects into its Decl arena.
* Fix enum tag value resolution discarding the ZIR=>AIR instruction map
for the child Sema, when they still needed to be accessed.
* Fix `zirResolveInferredAlloc` use-after-free in the AIR instructions
data array.
* Fix `elemPtrArray` not respecting const/mutable attribute of pointer
in the result type.
* Fix LLVM backend crashing when `updateDeclExports` is called before
`updateDecl`/`updateFunc` (which is, according to the API, perfectly
legal for the frontend to do).
* Fix LLVM backend handling element pointer of pointer-to-array. It
needed another index in the GEP otherwise LLVM saw the wrong type.
* Fix LLVM test cases not returning 0 from main, causing test failures.
Fixes a regression introduced in
6a5094872f.
* Implement comptime shift-right.
* Implement `@Type` for integers and `@TypeInfo` for integers.
* Implement union initialization syntax.
* Implement `zirFieldType` for unions.
* Implement `elemPtrArray` for a runtime-known operand.
* Make `zirLog2IntType` support RHS of shift being `comptime_int`. In
this case it returns `comptime_int`.
The motivating test case for this commit was originally:
```zig
test "example" {
var l: List(10) = undefined;
l.array[1] = 1;
}
fn List(comptime L: usize) type {
var T = u8;
return struct {
array: [L]T,
};
}
```
However I changed it to:
```zig
test "example" {
var l: List = undefined;
l.array[1] = 1;
}
const List = blk: {
const T = [10]u8;
break :blk struct {
array: T,
};
};
```
Which ended up being a similar, smaller problem. The former test case
will require a similar solution in the implementation of comptime
function calls - checking if the result of the function call is a struct
or union, and using the child `Sema` before it is destroyed to resolve
the fields.
* 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.
* New AIR instructions: ptr_add, ptr_sub, ptr_elem_val, ptr_ptr_elem_val
- See the doc comments for details.
* Sema: implement runtime pointer arithmetic.
* Sema: implement elem_val for many-pointers.
* Sema: support coercion from `*[N:s]T` to `[*]T`.
* Type: isIndexable handles many-pointers.
Module has a new field `monomorphed_funcs` which stores the set of
`*Module.Fn` objects which are generic function instantiations.
The hash is based on hashes of comptime values of parameters known to be
comptime based on an explicit comptime keyword or must-be-comptime
type expressions that can be evaluated without performing monomorphization.
This allows function calls to be semantically analyzed cheaply for
generic functions which are already instantiated.
The table is updated with a single `getOrPutAdapted` in the semantic
analysis of `call` instructions, by pre-allocating the `Fn` object and
passing it to the child `Sema`.
Sema now properly handles alloc_inferred and alloc_inferred_mut ZIR
instructions inside a comptime execution context. In this case it
creates Decl objects and points to them with the new `decl_ref_mut`
Value Tag. `storePtr` is updated to mutate such Decl types and values.
In this case it destroys the old arena and makes a new one, preventing
memory growth during comptime code execution.
Additionally:
* Fix `storePtr` to emit a compile error for a pointer comptime-known
to be undefined.
* Fix `storePtr` to emit runtime instructions for all the cases that a
pointer is comptime-known but does not support comptime
dereferencing, such as `@intToPtr` on a hard-coded address, or an
extern function.
* Fix `ret_coerce` not coercing inside inline function call context.
@select(
comptime T: type,
pred: std.meta.Vector(len, bool),
a: std.meta.Vector(len, T),
b: std.meta.Vector(len, T)
) std.meta.Vector(len, T)
Constructs a vector from a & b, based on the values in the predicate vector. For indices where the predicate value is true, the corresponding
element from the a vector is selected, and otherwise from b.
* There is now a main_pkg in addition to root_pkg. They are usually the
same. When using `zig test`, main_pkg is the user's source file and
root_pkg has the test runner.
* scanDecl no longer looks for test decls outside the package being
tested. honoring `--test-filter` is still TODO.
* test runner main function has a void return value rather than
`anyerror!void`
* Sema is improved to generate better AIR for for loops on slices.
* Sema: fix incorrect capacity calculation in zirBoolBr
* Sema: add compile errors for trying to use slice fields as an lvalue.
* Sema: fix type coercion for error unions
* Sema: fix analyzeVarRef generating garbage AIR
* C codegen: fix renderValue for error unions with 0 bit payload
* C codegen: implement function pointer calls
* CLI: fix usage text
Adds 4 new AIR instructions:
* slice_len, slice_ptr: to get the ptr and len fields of a slice.
* slice_elem_val, ptr_slice_elem_val: to get the element value of
a slice, and a pointer to a slice.
AstGen gains a new functionality:
* One of the unused flags of struct decls is now used to indicate
structs that are known to have non-zero size based on the AST alone.
This commit contains everything from the copy-elision-2
branch that does not have to do with copy elision directly,
but is generally useful for master branch.

just structs and unions.

rather than as a HardCodedAddr value of 0.

* Separate DeclVarSrc and DeclVarGen
* Separate PtrCastSrc and PtrCastGen

* bitreverse working for negative comptime ints
* Finished bitreverse test cases
* Undo exporting a bigint function. @bitreverse test name includes ampersand
* added docs entry for @bitreverse
* add `@bswap` builtin function. See #767
* comptime evaluation facilities are improved to be able to
handle a `@ptrCast` with a backing array.
* `@truncate` allows "truncating" a u0 value to any integer
type, and the result is always comptime known to be `0`.
* when specifying pointer alignment in a type expression,
the alignment value of pointers which do not have addresses
at runtime is ignored, and always has the default/ABI alignment

We were caching the ConstExprValue of string literals,
which works if you can never modify ConstExprValues.
This premise is broken with `comptime var ...`.
So I implemented an optimization in ConstExprValue
arrays, where it stores a `Buf *` directly rather
than an array of ConstExprValues for the elements,
and then similar to array of undefined, it is
expanded into the canonical form when necessary.
However many operations can happen directly on the
`Buf *`, which is faster.
Furthermore, before a ConstExprValue array is expanded
into canonical form, it removes itself from the string
literal cache. This fixes the issue, because before an
array element is modified it would have to be expanded.

The union was generated as a 3 byte struct when it needed to be
4 bytes so that the packed struct bitcast could work correctly.
Now it recognizes this situation and adds padding bytes to become
the correct size so that it can fit into an array.
