This allows the inferred error set of comptime and inline invocations to be
resolved separately from the inferred error set of the runtime version or other
comptime/inline invocations.
-airLoad and airStore now properly report an error if they are used with an array, instead of having the C compiler emit a vague error
-airStoreUndefined now works with array types
-structFieldPtr now works with array types, allowing generics' tests to pass
-add additional test cases that were found to be passing
-add basic int128 test cases which previously did not pass but weren't covered
-most test cases in cast.zig now pass
-i128/u128 or smaller int constants can now be rendered
-unsigned int constants are now always suffixed with 'u' to prevent random compile errors
-pointers with a val tag of 'zero' now just emit a 0 constant which coerces to the pointer type and fixes some warnings with ordered comparisons
-pointers with a val tag of 'one' are now casted back to the pointer type
-support pointers with a u64 val
-fix bug where rendering an array's type will emit more indirection than is needed
-render uint128_t/int128_t manually when needed
-implement ptr_add/sub AIR handlers manually so they manually cast to int types which avoids UB if the result or ptr operand is NULL
-implement airPtrElemVal/Ptr
-airAlloc for arrays will not allocate a ref as the local for the array is already a reference/pointer to the array itself
-fix airPtrToInt by casting to the int type
This commit makes airStore() handle undefined values directly instead of
delegating to renderValue(): the call to renderValue() happens too late,
when "dest = " has already been written to the stream, at which point
there's no sane way to initialize e.g. struct values by assignment.
Instead, we make airStore() use memset(dest, 0xaa, sizeof(dest)), which
should transparently handle all types.
Also moves the newly-passing tests to the top of test/behavior.zig.
1. Changed Zig pointers to functions to be typedef'd so then we can
treat them the same as other types.
2. Distinguished between const slices (zig_L prefix) and mut slices
(zig_M prefix).
3. Changed lowering of Zig "const pointers" (e.g. *const u8) to to C
"pointers to const" (e.g. const char *) rather than C "const
pointers" (e.g. char * const)
4. Ensured that all typedefs are "linked" even if the decl doesn't
require any forward declarations
5. Added test that exercises function pointer type rendering
6. Changed .slice_ptr instruction to allocate pointer local rather than
a uintptr_t local
New AIR instruction: `optional_payload_ptr_set`
It's like `optional_payload_ptr` except it sets the non-null bit.
When storing to the payload via a result location that is an optional,
`optional_payload_ptr_set` is now emitted. There is a new algorithm in
`zirCoerceResultPtr` which stores a dummy value through the result
pointer into a temporary block, and then pops off the AIR instructions
from the temporary block in order to determine how to transform the
result location pointer in case any in-between coercions need to happen.
Fixes a couple of behavior tests regarding optionals.
1. Function signatures that return a no member struct return void
2. Undefined var decls don't get a value generated for them
3. Don't generate bitcast code if the result isn't used, since
bitcast is a pure function. Right now struct handling code
generates some weird unused bitcast AIR, and this optimization
side steps that issue.
* test_functions: properly add dependencies of the array on test
functions and test names so that the order comes out correctly.
* fix lowering of struct literals to add parentheses around the type
name.
* omit const qualifier in slices because otherwise slices cannot be
reassigned even when they are local variables.
* special case pointer to functions and double pointer to functions in
renderTypeAndName. This code will need to be cleaned up but for now
it helps us make progress on other C backend stuff.
* fix slice element access to lower to `.ptr[` instead of `[`.
* airSliceElemVal: respect volatile slices
* Fix backend using wrong union field of the slice instruction.
* LLVM backend properly sets alignment on global variables.
* Sema: add coercion for *T to *[1]T
* Sema: pointers to Decls with explicit alignment now have alignment
metadata in them.
AIR:
* div is renamed to div_trunc.
* Add div_float, div_floor, div_exact.
- Implemented in Sema and LLVM codegen. C backend has a stub.
Improvements to std.math.big.Int:
* Add `eqZero` function to `Mutable`.
* Fix incorrect results for `divFloor`.
Compiler-rt:
* Add muloti4 to the stage2 section.
* Restructure elemPtr a bit
* New AIR instruction: slice_elem_ptr, which returns a pointer to an element of a slice
* Value: adapt elemPtr to work on slices
* New AIR instruction: slice, which constructs a slice out of a pointer
and a length.
* AstGen: use `coerced_ty` for start and end expressions, use `none`
for the sentinel, and don't try to load the result of the slice
operation because it returns a by-value result.
* Sema: pointer arithmetic is extracted into analyzePointerArithmetic
and it is used by the implementation of slice.
- Also I implemented comptime pointer addition.
* Sema: extract logic into analyzeSlicePtr, analyzeSliceLen and use them
inside the slice semantic analysis.
- The approach in stage2 is much cleaner than stage1 because it uses
more granular analysis calls for obtaining the slice pointer, doing
arithmetic on it, and checking if the length is comptime-known.
* Sema: use the slice Value Tag for slices when doing coercion from
pointer-to-array.
* LLVM backend: detect when emitting a GEP instruction into a
pointer-to-array and add the extra index that is required.
* Type: ptrAlignment for c_void returns 0.
* Implement Value.hash and Value.eql for slices.
* Remove accidentally duplicated behavior test.
* std.os: take advantage of `@minimum`. It's probably time to
deprecate `std.min` and `std.max`.
* New AIR instructions: min and max
* Introduce SIMD vector support to stage2
* Add `@Type` support for vectors
* Sema: add `checkSimdBinOp` which can be re-used for other arithmatic
operators that want to support vectors.
* Implement coercion from vectors to arrays.
- In backends this is handled with bitcast for vector to array,
however maybe we want to reduce the amount of branching by
introducing an explicit AIR instruction for it in the future.
* LLVM backend: implement lowering vector types
* Sema: Implement `slice.ptr` at comptime
* Value: improve `numberMin` and `numberMax` to support floats in
addition to integers, and make them behave properly in the presence
of NaN.
* Add AIR instructions: ret_ptr, ret_load
- This allows Sema to be blissfully unaware of the backend's decision
to implement by-val/by-ref semantics for struct/union/array types.
Backends can lower these simply as alloc, load, ret instructions,
or they can take advantage of them to use a result pointer.
* Add AIR instruction: array_elem_val
- Allows for better codegen for `Sema.elemVal`.
* Implement calculation of ABI alignment and ABI size for unions.
* Before appending the following AIR instructions to a block,
resolveTypeLayout is called on the type:
- call - return type
- ret - return type
- store_ptr - elem type
* Sema: fix memory leak in `zirArrayInit` and other cleanups to this
function.
* x86_64: implement the full x86_64 C ABI according to the spec
* Type: implement `intInfo` for error sets.
* Type: implement `intTagType` for tagged unions.
The Zig type tag `Fn` is now used exclusively for function bodies.
Function pointers are modeled as `*const T` where `T` is a `Fn` type.
* The `call` AIR instruction now allows a function pointer operand as
well as a function operand.
* Sema now has a coercion from function body to function pointer.
* Function type syntax, e.g. `fn()void`, now returns zig tag type of
Pointer with child Fn, rather than Fn directly.
- I think this should probably be reverted. Will discuss the lang
specs before doing this. Idea being that function pointers would
need to be specified as `*const fn()void` rather than `fn() void`.
LLVM backend:
* Enable calling the panic handler (previously this just
emitted `@breakpoint()` since the backend could not handle the panic
function).
* Implement sret
* Introduce `isByRef` and implement it for structs and arrays. Types
that are `isByRef` are now passed as pointers to functions, and e.g.
`elem_val` will return a pointer instead of doing a load.
* Move the function type creating code from `resolveLlvmFunction` to
`llvmType` where it belongs; now there is only 1 instance of this
logic instead of two.
* Add the `nonnull` attribute to non-optional pointer parameters.
* Fix `resolveGlobalDecl` not using fully-qualified names and not using
the `decl_map`.
* Implement `genTypedValue` for pointer-like optionals.
* Fix memory leak when lowering `block` instruction and OOM occurs.
* Implement volatile checks where relevant.
Decl names are now rendered fully qualified, so that e.g. "main" in two
different files does not conflict with each other.
Additionally, they are now mangled so as to not generate invalid C
identifier names.
