Notably this exposed an issue with the language having to do with the
secret safety tag on untagged unions. How can we have our cake and eat
it too? Not solved in this commit. I will file a language proposal to
tackle this issue soon.
Fixes a compile error in `std.fs.File.readvAll`.
* AstGen: represent compile errors in ZIR rather than returning
`error.AnalysisFail`.
* ZIR: remove decl_ref and decl_val instructions. These are replaced by
`decl_ref_named` and `decl_val_named`, respectively, which will
probably get renamed in the future to the instructions that were just
deleted.
* AstGen: implement `@This()`, `@fence()`, `@returnAddress()`, and
`@src()`.
* AstGen: struct_decl improved to support fields_len=0 but have decls.
* AstGen: fix missing null bytes after compile error messages.
* SrcLoc: no longer depend on `Decl`. Instead have an explicit field
`parent_decl_node` which is an absolute AST Node index.
* Module: `failed_files` table can have null value, in which case the
key, which is a `*Scope.File`, will have ZIR errors in it.
* ZIR: implement text rendering of struct decls.
* CLI: introduce debug_usage and `zig astgen` command which is enabled
when the compiler is built in debug mode.
This branch adds "builtin" and "std" to the import table when using the
self-hosted backend.
"builtin" gains one additional item:
```
pub const zig_is_stage2 = true; // false when using stage1 backend
```
This allows the std lib to do conditional compilation based on detecting
which backend is being used. This will be removed from builtin as soon
as self-hosted catches up to feature parity with stage1.
Keep a sharp eye out - people are going to be tempted to abuse this.
The general rule of thumb is do not use `builtin.zig_is_stage2`. However
this commit breaks the rule so that we can gain limited start.zig support
as we incrementally improve the self-hosted compiler.
This commit also implements `fullyQualifiedNameHash` and related
functionality, which effectively puts all Decls in their proper
namespaces. `fullyQualifiedName` is not yet implemented.
Stop printing "todo" log messages for test decls unless we are in test
mode.
Add "previous definition here" error notes for Decl name collisions.
This commit does not bring us yet to a newly passing test case.
Here's what I'm working towards:
```zig
const std = @import("std");
export fn main() c_int {
const a = std.fs.base64_alphabet[0];
return a - 'A';
}
```
Current output:
```
$ ./zig-cache/bin/zig build-exe test.zig
test.zig:3:1: error: TODO implement more analyze elemptr
zig-cache/lib/zig/std/start.zig:38:46: error: TODO implement structInitExpr ty
```
So the next steps are clear:
* Sema: improve elemptr
* AstGen: implement structInitExpr
* free Module.Fn ZIR code when destroying the owner Decl
* unreachable_safe and unreachable_unsafe are collapsed into one ZIR
instruction with a safety flag.
* astgen: emit an unreachable instruction for unreachable literals
* don't forget to call deinit on ZIR code
* astgen: implement some builtin functions
Now reading a source file and decoding it from UTF-16LE to UTF-8 is
done in a single function. Error messages are improved, and an error is
emitted when the source file has a BOM not supported (UTF-16BE, UTF-32).
Please note that the BOM of UTF-32 is composed of the same bytes as the
BOM of UTF-16 followed by a null character. Therefore a source file in
UTF-16LE starting with a null byte will be interpreted as an UTF-32, and
rejeted because of an invalid format. In pratice this is not a problem,
as the code would have been rejected later anyway because of the null
character.
Fixes#2820
After reading the source code, the first two bytes are inspected, and
if they correspond to a UTF-16 BOM in little-endian order, the source
code is converted to UTF-8.
A warning is emitted when using the debug option --debug-log when the compiler
was not compiled using the build option -Dlog. Additionnaly, the scopes are not
added to log_scopes as they have no effect.
Clang docs say:
> Like -MMD, but also implies -E and writes to stdout by default.
Previously, Zig handled this option by forwarding it directly to Clang,
and disabling depfiles. However this did not adhere to Clang's documented
behavior of these flags.
Now, in addition to being forwarded directly to Clang, `-MM` also
sets c_out_mode = .preprocessor, just like `-E`.
Another issue I noticed is that Zig did not recognize the aliases for
-MG, -MM, or -MMD. The aliases are now recognized.
The presence of ZIG_VERBOSE_LINK now enables --verbose-link.
The presence of ZIG_VERBOSE_CC now enables --verbose-cc.
These are useful when debugging usage of `zig cc` which does not have
CLI flags for these options, since they are not valid C compiler flags.

I resolved some of the conflicts by reverting a small portion of
@tadeokondrak's stage2 logic here regarding `callconv(.Inline)`.
It will need to get reworked as part of this branch.
This commit does not reach any particular milestone, it is
work-in-progress towards getting things to build.
There's a `@panic("TODO")` in translate-c that should be removed when
working on translate-c stuff.
The CLI gains -flto and -fno-lto options to override the default.
However, the cool thing about this is that the defaults are great! In
general when you use build-exe in release mode, Zig will enable LTO if
it would work and it would help.
zig cc supports detecting and honoring the -flto and -fno-lto flags as
well. The linkWithLld functions are improved to all be the same with
regards to copying the artifact instead of trying to pass single objects
through LLD with -r. There is possibly a future improvement here as
well; see the respective TODOs.
stage1 is updated to support outputting LLVM bitcode instead of machine
code when lto is enabled. This allows LLVM to optimize across the Zig and
C/C++ code boundary.
closes#2845
Previously you had to recompile if you wanted to change the log scopes
that get printed. Now, log scopes can be set at runtime, and -Dlog
controls whether all logging is available at runtime.
Purpose here is a nicer development experience. Most likely stage2
developers will always want -Dlog enabled and then pass --debug-log
scopes when debugging particular issues.
* Implement error notes
- note: other symbol exported here
- note: previous else prong is here
- note: previous '_' prong is here
* Add Compilation.CObject.ErrorMsg. This object properly converts to
AllErrors.Message when the time comes.
* Add Compilation.CObject.failure_retryable. Properly handles
out-of-memory and other transient failures.
* Introduce Module.SrcLoc which has not only a byte offset but also
references the file which the byte offset applies to.
* Scope.Block now contains both a pointer to the "owner" Decl and the
"source" Decl. As an example, during inline function call, the
"owner" will be the Decl of the caller and the "source" will be the
Decl of the callee.
* Module.ErrorMsg now sports a `file_scope` field so that notes can
refer to source locations in a file other than the parent error
message.
* Some instances where a `*Scope` was stored, now store a
`*Scope.Container`.
* Some methods in the `Scope` namespace were moved to the more specific
type, since there was only an implementation for one particular tag.
- `removeDecl` moved to `Scope.Container`
- `destroy` moved to `Scope.File`
* Two kinds of Scope deleted:
- zir_module
- decl
* astgen: properly use DeclVal / DeclRef. DeclVal was incorrectly
changed to be a reference; this commit fixes it. Fewer ZIR
instructions processed as a result.
- declval_in_module is renamed to declval
- previous declval ZIR instruction is deleted; it was only for .zir
files.
* Test harness: friendlier diagnostics when an unexpected set of errors
is encountered.
* zir_sema: fix analyzeInstBlockFlat by properly calling resolvingInst
on the last zir instruction in the block.
Compile log implementation:
* Write to a buffer rather than directly to stderr.
* Only keep track of 1 callsite per Decl.
* No longer mutate the ZIR Inst struct data.
* "Compile log statement found" errors are only emitted when there are
no other compile errors.
-femit-zir and support for .zir source files is regressed. If we wanted
to support this again, outputting .zir would need to be done as yet
another backend rather than in the haphazard way it was previously
implemented.
For parsing .zir, it was implemented previously in a way that was not
helpful for debugging. We need tighter integration with the test harness
for it to be useful; so clearly a rewrite is needed. Given that a
rewrite is needed, and it was getting in the way of progress and
organization of the rest of stage2, I regressed the feature.
* CLI: change to -mred-zone and -mno-red-zone to match gcc/clang.
* build.zig: remove the double negative and make it an optional bool.
This follows precedent from other flags, allowing the compiler CLI to
be the decider of what is default instead of duplicating the default
value into the build system code.
* Compilation: make it an optional `want_red_zone` instead of a
`no_red_zone` bool. The default is decided by a call to
`target_util.hasRedZone`.
* When creating a Clang command line, put -mred-zone on the command
line if we are forcing it to be enabled.
* Update update_clang_options.zig with respect to the recent {s}/{} format changes.
* `zig cc` integration with red zone preference.
