This test was also covering this behavior:
```zig
test "equality of pointers to comptime const" {
const a: i32 = undefined;
comptime assert(&a == &a);
}
```
This check belongs in its own behavior test which isolates this
behavior; not bundled along with a C pointer test.
All tests have been manually verified which are now passing. This means that any remaining
TODO is an actual to-be-fixed or to-be-implemented test case.
This fixes one of the major issues plaguing the `std.sort` comptime tests.
The high level issue is that at comptime, we need to know whether `elem_ptr` is
being used to subslice an array-like pointer or access a child value. High-level
example:
var x: [2][2]i32 = undefined;
var a = &x[0]; // elem_ptr, type *[2]i32
var y: [5]i32 = undefined;
var b = y[1..3]; // elem_ptr, type *[2]i32
`a` is pointing directly to the 0th element of `x`. But `b` is
subslicing the 1st and 2nd element of `y`. At runtime with a well
defined memory layout, this is an inconsequential detail. At comptime,
the values aren't laid out exactly in-memory so we need to know the
difference.
This becomes an issue specifically in this case:
var c: []i32 = a;
var d: []i32 = b;
When converting the `*[N]T` to `[]T` we need to know what array to point
to. For runtime, its all the same. For comptime, we need to know if its
the parent array or the child value.
See the behavior tests for more details.
This commit fixes this by adding a boolean to track this on the
`elem_ptr`. We can't just immediately deref the child for `&x[0]`
because it is legal to ptrCast it to a many-pointer, do arithmetic, and
then cast it back (see behavior test) so we need to retain access to the
"parent" indexable.
By the time zirElemVal is reached for a many pointer, a load has already
happened, making sure the operand is already dereferenced.
This makes `mem.sliceTo` now work.
Array types with sentinels were not being typed correctly in the
translation from ZIR to Sema (comptime). This modifies the `array_init`
ZIR to also retain the type of the init expression (note: untyped array
initialization is done via the `array_init_anon` ZIR and so is unchanged
in this commit).
stage1 peer resolves the given test to `[*c]u8` but stage2 makes that a
const u8. I believe stage2 behavior is correct since the pointer itself
is const.
Now it's centered around a switch on the chosen type tag which gives us
easy access to pointer data.
The logic is simplied and in some cases logic is removed when it is
sufficient to choose the type that is a better coercion target without
knowing whether such coercion will succeed ahead of time.
A bug is fixed at the bottom of the function; we were doing the opposite
of what we were supposed to with `seen_const`.
Also the bottom of the function has a more complete handling of the
possible combinations of `any_are_null`, `convert_to_slice`, and
`err_set_ty`.
In the behavior tests, not as many backends needed to be skipped.
Takes advantage of the pattern already established with
array_init_anon. Also upgrades array_init (non-anon) to the pattern.
Implements comptime struct value equality and pointer value hashing.
-add additional test cases that were found to be passing
-add basic int128 test cases which previously did not pass but weren't covered
-most test cases in cast.zig now pass
-i128/u128 or smaller int constants can now be rendered
-unsigned int constants are now always suffixed with 'u' to prevent random compile errors
-pointers with a val tag of 'zero' now just emit a 0 constant which coerces to the pointer type and fixes some warnings with ordered comparisons
-pointers with a val tag of 'one' are now casted back to the pointer type
-support pointers with a u64 val
-fix bug where rendering an array's type will emit more indirection than is needed
-render uint128_t/int128_t manually when needed
-implement ptr_add/sub AIR handlers manually so they manually cast to int types which avoids UB if the result or ptr operand is NULL
-implement airPtrElemVal/Ptr
-airAlloc for arrays will not allocate a ref as the local for the array is already a reference/pointer to the array itself
-fix airPtrToInt by casting to the int type
* 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.

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.
