This regressed back in https://github.com/ziglang/zig/pull/25154. I
didn't get around to fixing it until now, so a few instances of the
warning snuck into the repo over the past few months, which were fixed
in the previous commit. The regression has not appeared in a tagged
release though, so this is not a breaking change in 0.16.0.
Resolves: https://codeberg.org/ziglang/zig/issues/31049
Since packed containers are now represented by `bitpack` and can't include
pointers anymore this has become a very easy change to make. This commit
largely just reuses the logic already in place for integers.
Also fixes a small bug where captures-by-ref of errors wouldn't cause a
compile error for regular switch statements. There was already an astgen
error in place for error handling switch statements (`switch_block_err_union`)
capturing their error by reference.
This builds on the changes in PR #30053 / commit 484cc15366.
Previously, peer type resolution would always result in a conflict for
fixed-width integer and float types. Now that small integer types can
coerce to floats, peer type resolution can take that into account. This
primarily benefits arithmetic with mixed float and integer operands. If
the integer operand can coerce to the float operand's type, it will do
so without requiring an explicit cast. If the integer type can't coerce,
there will be a compiler error; no float widening will occur. Explicit
casting will still be required to make it work.
This is a follow-up to PR #30053 / commit 484cc15366.
The code previously did not handle `c_longdouble`, whose size depends on
the target. A `floatSignificandBits` helper function and a smoke test
were added.
Also added the missing max int value to the exhaustive `f16` test cases.
`@sizeOf` and `@bitSizeOf` are now more restricted: they are not allowed
on comptime-only or NPV (uninstantiable) types. This is because there is
no correct way to actually use the returned ABI size (e.g. you cannot
copy a comptime-only type by copying all of its runtime bits), so having
a non-zero return value had no benefit and was simply confusing.
`packed struct`s and `packed union`s can no longer contain pointer
fields. There are a few reasons for this, but in particular, binary
formats do not typically support the relocation types we would need to
lower such values into static memory. See the proposal at
https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/24657 for details.
Unions with no fields are now "uninstantiable" types, which work like
`noreturn` in that values of this type cannot exist. Enums with no
fields are different because they are currently considered `extern`
types, though https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/19855 will change
this in the future.
'comptime_int' is no longer considered a valid backing type for an enum.
In other words, 'enum(comptime_int)' is a compile error. This change is
accepted to simplify the language.
This fixes a regression from a couple of commits ago; breaking from the
`else` block of a loop to the loop's tag should be allowed when explicitly
targeting the label by name.
This commit aims to simplify and de-duplicate the logic required for
semantically analyzing `switch` expressions.
The core logic has been moved to `analyzeSwitchBlock`, `resolveSwitchBlock`
and `finishSwitchBlock` and has been rewritten around the new iterator-based
API exposed by `Zir.UnwrappedSwitchBlock`.
All validation logic and switch prong item resolution have been moved to
`validateSwitchBlock`, which produces a `ValidatedSwitchBlock` containing
all the necessary information for further analysis.
`Zir.UnwrappedSwitchBlock`, `ValidatedSwitchBlock` and `SwitchOperand`
replace `SwitchProngAnalysis` while adding more flexibility, mainly for
better integration with `switch_block_err_union`.
`analyzeSwitchBlock` has an explicit code path for OPV types which lowers
them to either a `block`-`br` or a `loop`-`repeat` construct instead of a
switch. Backends expect `switch` to actually have an operand that exists
at runtime, so this is a bug fix and avoids further special cases in the
rest of the switch logic.
`resolveSwitchBlock` and `finishSwitchBr` exclusively deal with operands
which can have more than one value, at comptime and at runtime respectively.
This commit also reworks `RangeSet` to be an unmanaged container and adds
`Air.SwitchBr.BranchHints` to offload some complexity from Sema to there
and save a few bytes of memory in the process.
Additionally, some new features have been implemented:
- decl literals and everything else requiring a result type (`@enumFromInt`!)
may now be used as switch prong items
- union tag captures are now allowed for all prongs, not just `inline` ones
- switch prongs may contain errors which are not in the error set being
switched on, if these prongs contain `=> comptime unreachable`
and some bugs have been fixed:
- lots of issues with switching on OPV types are now fixed
- the rules around unreachable `else` prongs when switching on errors now
apply to *any* switch on an error, not just to `switch_block_err_union`,
and are applied properly based on the AST
- switching on `void` no longer requires an `else` prong unconditionally
- lazy values are properly resolved before any comparisons with prong items
- evaluation order between all kinds of switch statements is now the same,
with or without label
Enhances `GenZir` to allow labels to provide separate `break` and `continue`
target blocks and adds some more information on continue targets to
communicate whether the target is a switch block or cannot be targeted by
`continue` at all.
The main motivation is enabling this:
```
const result: u32 = operand catch |err| label: switch (err) {
else => continue :label error.MyError,
error.MyError => break :label 1,
};
```
to be lowered to something like this:
```
%1 = block({
%2 = is_non_err(%operand)
%3 = condbr(%2, {
%4 = err_union_payload_unsafe(%operand)
%5 = break(%1, result) // targets enclosing `block`
}, {
%6 = err_union_code(%operand)
%7 = switch_block(%6,
else => {
%8 = switch_continue(%7, "error.MyError") // targets `switch_block`
},
"error.MyError" => {
%9 = break(%1, @one) // targets enclosing `block`
},
)
%10 = break(%1, @void_value)
})
})
```
which makes the non-error case and all breaks from switch prongs, but not
continues from switch prongs, peers.
This is required to avoid the problems described in gh#11957 for labeled
switches without having to introduce a fairly complex special case to the
`switch_block_err_union` logic. Since this construct is very rare in practice,
introducing this additional complexity just to save a few ZIR bytes is
likely not worth it, so the simplified lowering described above will be
used instead.
As a nice bonus, AstGen can now also detect a `continue` trying to target
a labeled block and emit an appropriate error message.
Previously Zig allowed you to write something like,
```zig
switch (x) {
.y => |_| {
```
This seems a bit strange because in other cases, such as when
capturing the tag in a switch case,
```zig
switch (x) {
.y => |_, _| {
```
this produces an error.
The only usecase I can think of for the previous behaviour is
if you wanted to assert that all union payloads are able
to coerce,
```zig
const X = union(enum) { y: u8, z: f32 };
switch (x) {
.y, .z => |_| {
```
This will compile-error with the `|_|` and pass without it.
I don't believe this usecase is strong enough to keep the current
behaviour; it was never used in the Zig codebase and I cannot
find a single usage of this behaviour in the real world, searching
through Sourcegraph.
If the float can store all possible values of the integer without
rounding, coercion is allowed. The integer's precision must be less than
or equal to the float's significand precision.
Closes#18614
Targets that don't support tail calls will see:
/home/ci/zig/.zig-cache/o/35dbe82c8e4d49ae5b7d630329568133/tmp.zig:5:5: error: unable to perform tail call: compiler backend 'stage2_llvm' does not support tail calls on target architecture 'powerpc64le' with the selected CPU feature flags
So just run this test on a known-good target.
