Replace the O(n) shift-subtract loop with a constant-time trial
quotient approach (Knuth Algorithm D, TAOCP Vol 2 Section 4.3.1).
The old code iterates clz(b_hi)-clz(a_hi)+1 times (up to 64
iterations of 128-bit arithmetic). The new code uses a single
divwide call to get a trial quotient, then verifies with two
native-width widening multiplies.
Benchmark (Apple M1, ReleaseFast):
- Large divisor, large shift: 87ns -> 7.5ns (11.5x faster)
- Small divisor / uniform: unchanged
use the "symbol" helper function in all exports
move all declarations from common.zig to compiler_rt.zig
flatten the tree structure somewhat (move contents of tiny files into
parent files)
No functional changes.
Most of this migration was performed automatically with `zig fmt`. There
were a few exceptions which I had to manually fix:
* `@alignCast` and `@addrSpaceCast` cannot be automatically rewritten
* `@truncate`'s fixup is incorrect for vectors
* Test cases are not formatted, and their error locations change
See https://reviews.llvm.org/D81809 for upstream description.
In summary this is ~10x improvement for small divisors and similar
performance for equal divisors.
Closes#13523.
stage2: change logic for detecting whether the main package is inside
the std package. Previously it relied on realpath() which is not portable.
This uses resolve() which is how imports already work.
* stage2: fix cleanup bug when creating Module
* flatten lib/std/special/* to lib/*
- this was motivated by making main_pkg_is_inside_std false for
compiler_rt & friends.
* rename "mini libc" to "universal libc"
