This modifies the build process of Zig to put all of the source files
into libcompiler.a, except main.cpp and userland.cpp.
Next, the build process links main.cpp, userland.cpp, and libcompiler.a
into zig1. userland.cpp is a shim for functions that will later be
replaced with self-hosted implementations.
Next, the build process uses zig1 to build src-self-hosted/stage1.zig
into libuserland.a, which does not depend on any of the things that
are shimmed in userland.cpp, such as translate-c.
Finally, the build process re-links main.cpp and libcompiler.a, except
with libuserland.a instead of userland.cpp. Now the shims are replaced
with .zig code. This provides all of the Zig standard library to the
stage1 C++ compiler, and enables us to move certain things to userland,
such as translate-c.
As a proof of concept I have made the `zig zen` command use text defined
in userland. I added `zig translate-c-2` which is a work-in-progress
reimplementation of translate-c in userland, which currently calls
`std.debug.panic("unimplemented")` and you can see the stack trace makes
it all the way back into the C++ main() function (Thanks LemonBoy for
improving that!).
This could potentially let us move other things into userland, such as
hashing algorithms, the entire cache system, .d file parsing, pretty
much anything that libuserland.a itself doesn't need to depend on.
This can also let us have `zig fmt` in stage1 without the overhead
of child process execution, and without the initial compilation delay
before it gets cached.
See #1964
Previously the code for generating a panic crash expected
one of the parameters to be the error return trace. Now
it does not expect that parameter when g->have_err_ret_tracing
is false.
Closes#2276
Now that c58b802034 has removed
the "top of the comptime stack" requirement, the branch quota
can be modified somewhere other than the top of the comptime stack.
This means that the quota of a parent IrExecutable has to be
modifiable by an instruction in the child.
Closes#2261
ErrorInvalidFormat is not a fatal error so don't close the cache
manifest file right away but instead let cache_final() handle it.
Fixes the following (very common) warning when running the test suite:
Warning: Unable to write cache file [..]: unexpected seek failure
The seek failure is an lseek() system call that failed with EBADF
because the file descriptor had already been closed.
* Correct parsing of DWARF line_info section
* Fix reading of udata/sdata encoded attributes
* Add definition for DW_AT_alignment
Even though it's been standardized in DWARF5 some compilers produce it
anyway for DWARF4 infos too.
* Fix reading of reference attributes
* Distinguish between absolute/relative addresses
