The previous commit introduced an optimization to the LLVM backend that
makes `@memset` lower more optimally when the element is comptime-known
and has a repeating byte pattern.
By making these functions inline, if the element parameter is
comptime-known at the callsite, it will be comptime-known in the
`@memset` call, causing more use of the LLVM `memset` intrinsic rather
than an inline for loop when using the LLVM backend.
This affects, for example, std.crypto.argon2, which calls
appendNTimesAssumeCapacity with a `[128]u64` as the element. This is now
lowered with a single `memset` call.
On Windows, a directory that's set as the current working directory is
not allowed to be removed. This can cause error on `deleteTree` if the
CWD is set to the file to be removed and will cause `error.FileBusy`.
However, due to `tmp.cleanup()` ignoring the errors, the folder removal error will
be ignored. The only test violating this is `windows_spawn`. As a
solution, setting the parent directory to be the CWD before deletion
will allow the cleanup to pass.
* Sema: upgrade operands to array pointers if possible when emitting
AIR.
* Implement safety checks for length mismatch and aliasing.
* AIR: make ptrtoint support slice operands. Implement in LLVM backend.
* C backend: implement new `@memset` semantics. `@memcpy` is not done
yet.
Now they use slices or array pointers with any element type instead of
requiring byte pointers.
This is a breaking enhancement to the language.
The safety check for overlapping pointers will be implemented in a
future commit.
closes#14040
addition to #15450
createFileW does not account for failure on `LockFile`. This can result
in a file handle not being closed on failure which can be seen on test
such as `fs.test.'open file with exclusive nonblocking lock twice'`.
Before this change, if a request errored before getting its `response.headers` initialized, then it would attempt to `deinit` `response.headers` which would still be `undefined`. Since all locations that set `response.headers` use the same code, it can just be done upfront in `request` instead.
Closes#15380
* docs(std.math): elaborate on difference between absCast and absInt
* docs(std.rand.Random.weightedIndex): elaborate on likelihood
I think this makes it easier to understand.
* langref: add small reminder
* docs(std.fs.path.extension): brevity
* docs(std.bit_set.StaticBitSet): mention the specific types
* std.debug.TTY: explain what purpose this struct serves
This should also make it clearer that this struct is not supposed to provide unrelated terminal manipulation functionality such as setting the cursor position or something because terminals are complicated and we should keep this struct simple and focused on debugging.
* langref(package listing): brevity
* langref: explain what exactly `threadlocal` causes to happen
* std.array_list: link between swapRemove and orderedRemove
Maybe this can serve as a TLDR and make it easier to decide.
* PrefetchOptions.locality: clarify docs that this is a range
This confused me previously and I thought I can only use either 0 or 3.
* fix typos and more
* std.builtin.CallingConvention: document some CCs
* langref: explain possibly cryptic names
I think it helps knowing what exactly these acronyms (@clz and @ctz) and
abbreviations (@popCount) mean.
* variadic function error: add missing preposition
* std.fmt.format docs: nicely hyphenate
* help menu: say what to optimize for
I think this is slightly more specific than just calling it
"optimizations". These are speed optimizations. I used the word
"performance" here.
