* docs(std.math): elaborate on difference between absCast and absInt
* docs(std.rand.Random.weightedIndex): elaborate on likelihood
I think this makes it easier to understand.
* langref: add small reminder
* docs(std.fs.path.extension): brevity
* docs(std.bit_set.StaticBitSet): mention the specific types
* std.debug.TTY: explain what purpose this struct serves
This should also make it clearer that this struct is not supposed to provide unrelated terminal manipulation functionality such as setting the cursor position or something because terminals are complicated and we should keep this struct simple and focused on debugging.
* langref(package listing): brevity
* langref: explain what exactly `threadlocal` causes to happen
* std.array_list: link between swapRemove and orderedRemove
Maybe this can serve as a TLDR and make it easier to decide.
* PrefetchOptions.locality: clarify docs that this is a range
This confused me previously and I thought I can only use either 0 or 3.
* fix typos and more
* std.builtin.CallingConvention: document some CCs
* langref: explain possibly cryptic names
I think it helps knowing what exactly these acronyms (@clz and @ctz) and
abbreviations (@popCount) mean.
* variadic function error: add missing preposition
* std.fmt.format docs: nicely hyphenate
* help menu: say what to optimize for
I think this is slightly more specific than just calling it
"optimizations". These are speed optimizations. I used the word
"performance" here.
Rather than using a function call to verify if an error fits within
the global error set's length, we now store the error set' size in
the .rodata segment of the linear memory and load that value onto
the stack to check with the integer value.
This implements the safety check for error casts. The instruction
generates a jump table with 2 possibilities. The operand is used
as an index into the jump table. For cases where the value does
not exist within the error set, it will generate a jump to the
'false' block. For cases where it does exist, it will generate
a jump to the 'true' block. By calculating the highest and lowest
value we can keep the jump table smaller, as it doesn't need to
contain an index into the entire error set.
Creates a global undefined symbol when this instruction is called.
The linker will then resolve it as a lazy symbol, ensuring it is
only generated when the symbol was created. In `flush` it will then
generate the function as only then, all errors are known and we can
generate the function body. This logic allows us to re-use the same
functionality of linker-synthetic-functions.
* Disable 128-bit atomics for x86_64 generic (currently also baseline)
because they require heavy abi agreement to correctly lower.
** This is a breaking change **
* Enable 128-bit atomics for aarch64 in Sema since it just works.
Since the Zig language documentation claims support for `.Min` and
`.Max` in `@atomicRmw` with floats, allow in Sema and implement for both
the llvm and C backends.
* CompileStep: Avoid calling producesPdbFile() to determine whether the
option should be respected. If the user asks for it, put it on the
command line and let the Zig CLI deal with it appropriately.
* Make the namespace of `std.dwarf.Format.dwarf32` no longer have a
redundant "dwarf" in it.
* Add `zig cc` integration for `-gdwarf32` and `-gdwarf64`.
* Toss in a bonus bug fix for `-gdwarf-2`, `-gdwarf-3`, etc.
* Avoid using default init values for struct fields unnecessarily.
* Add missing cache hash addition for the new option.
This commit enables producing 64-bit DWARF format for Zig executables
that are produced through the LLVM backend. This is achieved by exposing
both command-line flags and CompileStep flags. The production of the
64-bit format only affects binaries that use the DWARF format and it is
disabled on MacOS due to it being problematic. This commit, despite
generating the interface for the Zig user to be able to tell the compile
which format is wanted, is just implemented for the LLVM backend, so
clang and the self-hosted backends will need this to be implemented in a
future commit.
This is an effort to work around #7962, since the emission of the 64-bit
format automatically produces 64-bit relocations. Further investigation
will be needed to make DWARF 32-bit format to emit bigger relocations
when needed and not make the linker angry.
Uses the new liveness behaviour. This also removes useless calls
to `processDeath` on branches that were just initialized. Branch
consolidation and processing deaths on branches inside `condbr`
is still a TODO, just like before.
This also skips var_args on other native backends as they do not
support this feature yet.
