We were enforcing bounds on the index of an elem_ptr in pointerDeref,
but we want to support out-of-bounds accesses by reinterpreting memory.
This removes that check, so that the deref falls back to bitcasting, as
usual.
This was masked by another bug that was forcing bitcasts incorrectly,
which is why this wasn't noticed earlier.
Sema.pointerDeref() assumes that elem_ptrs have been "flattened" when
they were created, so that you an elem_ptr will never be the array_ptr
of another elem_ptr when they share the same type.
Value.elemPtr does this already, but a couple of places in Sema were
bypassing this logic.
This includes various fixes/improvements to the C backend to improve
error/union support. It also fixes up our handling of decls, where some
decls were not correctly marked alive.
This flag is used when building stage1 to omit the stage2 backends from
the compiler to save memory on the CI server. It regressed with the
merging of e8813b296b because Value
functions started calling into Sema functions.
The end goal for this build option is to eliminate it.
This commit adds a new optional argument to several Value methods which
provides the ability to resolve types if it comes to it. This prevents
having duplicated logic inside both Sema and Value.
With this commit, the "struct contains slice of itself" test is passing
by exploiting the new lazy_align Value Tag.
This reverts commit 3701697a0a.
The commit introduced a regression when building stage2 on nixOS where
the linker would fail to find relevant LLVM dynamic libraries as some
search dirs were missing.
With this change, we can now bake in entitlements into the binary.
Additionally, I see this as the first step towards full code signature
support which includes baking in Apple issued certificates for
redistribution, etc.
Also update std/build.zig to use stage2 function pointer semantics.
This gets us a little bit closer to `zig build` working, although it is
now hitting a new crash in the compiler.
Made most `Value` functions require a `Type`. If the provided type is a
vector, then automatically vectorize the operation and return with
another vector. The Sema side can then automatically become vectorized
with minimal changes. There are already a few manually vectorized
instructions, but we can simplify those later.
The existing `cmp_*` instructions get their result type from `lhs`, but
vector comparison will always return a vector of bools with only the
length derived from its operands. This necessitates the creation of a
new AIR instruction.
The codegen for this is almost identical to `ptr_elem_ptr` except
there's an extra `mov` at the end to replace the pointer with the
value it points to, "in-place" (which can be done in a single
instruction without any extra registers).
