* Breaking language change: inline assembly must use string literal
syntax. This is in preparation for inline assembly improvements that
involve more integration with the Zig language. This means we cannot
rely on text substitution.
* Liveness: properly handle inline assembly and function calls with
more than 3 operands.
- More than 35 operands is not yet supported. This is a low priority
to implement.
- This required implementation in codegen.zig as well.
* Liveness: fix bug causing incorrect tomb bits.
* Sema: enable switch expressions that are evaluated at compile-time.
- Runtime switch instructions still need to be reworked in this
branch. There was a TODO left here (by me) with a suggestion to do
some bigger changes as part of the AIR memory reworking. Now that
time has come and I plan to honor the suggestion in a future commit
before merging this branch.
* AIR printing: fix missing ')' on alive instructions.
We're back to "hello world" working for the x86_64 backend.
- Update `fail()` to not require a `srcLoc`.
This brings it in line with other backends, and we were always passing 'node_offset = 0', anyway.
- Fix unused local due to change of architecture wrt function/decl generation.
- Replace all old instructions to indexes within the function signatures.
* some instructions are not implemented yet
* fix off-by-1 in Air.getMainBody
* Compilation: use `@import("builtin")` rather than `std.builtin`
for the values that are different for different build configurations.
* Sema: avoid calling `addType` in between
air_instructions.ensureUnusedCapacity and corresponding
appendAssumeCapacity because it can possibly add an instruction.
* Value: functions print their names
Additionally: ZIR encoding for floats now supports float literals up to
f64, not only f32. This is because we no longer need a source location
for this instruction.
Now you can pass `.unneeded` for a `LazySrcLoc` and if there ended up
being a compile error that needed it, you'll get
`error.NeededSourceLocation`.
Callsites can now exploit this error to do the expensive computation
to produce a source location object and then repeat the operation.
Now the branch is compiling again, provided that one uses
`-Dskip-non-native`, but many code paths are disabled. The code paths
can now be re-enabled one at a time and updated to conform to the new
AIR memory layout.
to the link infrastructure, instead of being stored with Module.Fn. This
moves towards a strategy to make more efficient use of memory by not
storing Air or Liveness data in the Fn struct, but computing it on
demand, immediately sending it to the backend, and then immediately
freeing it.
Backends which want to defer codegen until flush() such as SPIR-V
must move the Air/Liveness data upon `updateFunc` being called and keep
track of that data in the backend implementation itself.
Previously, this field was used because the Zir.Inst.Ref encoding
supported the concept of references to function parameters. However now
thanks to whole-file-astgen, the implementations of indexToRef and
refToIndex are trivial addition/subtraction of a comptime const integer.
It's pretty compact, with each AIR instruction only taking up 4 bits,
plus a sparse table for special instructions such as conditional branch,
switch branch, and function calls with more than 2 arguments.
This commit changes the AIR file and the documentation of the memory
layout. The actual work of modifying the surrounding code (in Sema and
codegen) is not yet done.
c_void is *not* simply `const c_void = opaque{};`. It has unique
semantics as any pointer type may coerce to `*c_void` which is not true
for an arbitrary `*opaque{}`.
Use `@` syntax to escape `_` when used as an identifier.
Remove the stage1 astgen prohibition against assigning from `_`
Note: there a few stage1 bugs preventing `_` from being used as an identifier
for a local variable or function parameter; these will be fixed by stage2.
They are unlikely to arise in real C code since identifiers starting with
underscore are reserved for the implementation.
namely, fixes proper symbol reolution when scanning and including
objects from static archives, and properly discard any null symbols
when a tentative definition was substituted by a defined, global symbol.
It makes sense to have them as a dependent type since they only ever
deal with TextBlocks. Simplify Relocations to rely on symbol indices
and symbol resolver rather than pointers.
