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
This temporary patch fixes a segfault caused by miscompilation
by the LLD when generating stubs for initialization of thread local
storage. We effectively bypass TLS in the default panic handler
so that no segfault is generated and the stack trace is correctly
reported back to the user.
Note that, this is linked directly to a bigger issue with LLD
ziglang/zig#7527 and when resolved, we only need to remove the
`comptime` code path introduced with this patch to use the default
panic handler that relies on TLS.

string literals and error set types were allocating the ty/val fields of
the anonymous Decl into the owner Decl's arena, rather than the
new anonymous Decl's arena as intended. This caused use of undefined
value later on in the pipeline.
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.
ideal capacity is now determined by e.g.
x += x / f
rather than
x = x * b / a
This turns a multiplication into an addition, making it less likely to
overflow the integer. This commit also introduces padToIdeal() which
does saturating arithmetic so that no overflow is possible when
calculating ideal capacity.
closes#7830
The following AST avoids unnecessary derefs now:
* error set decl
* field access
* array access
* for loops: replace ensure_indexable and deref on the len_ptr with a
special purpose ZIR instruction called indexable_ptr_len.
Added an error note when for loop operand is the wrong type.
I also accidentally implemented `@field`.
* fix wrong pointer const-ness when unwrapping optionals
* allow grouped expressions and orelse as lvalues
* ZIR for unwrapping optionals: no redundant deref
- add notes to please don't use rlWrapPtr, this function should be
deleted
* catch and orelse: better ZIR for non-lvalue: no redundant deref;
operate entirely on values. lvalue case still works properly.
- properly propagate the result location into the target expression
* Test harness: better output when tests fail due to compile errors.
* TZIR: add instruction variants. These allow fewer TZIR instructions to
be emitted from zir_sema. See the commit diff for per-instruction
documentation.

Also, force rewriting of code signature padding at every update so
that we take into account possible section relocs and expansion of
the last preceeding section, e.g., the string table.
This commit also tweak the logic responsible for managing debug lines
in `DebugSymbols`. In particular, in case we update the same function,
we'd previously incorrectly create a cycle adding pointer to the same
`SrcFn` to itself.
Add support for L'<wchar_t>', u'<char16_t>', and U'<char32_t>'. Currently
this just translates wide char literals to \u{NNNNNN} escape codes
(e.g. U'💯' -> '\u{1f4af}')
Another approach would be to emit UTF-8 encoded character literals
directly, but in my opinion this approaches Unicode-complete because it
would require knowledge of which Unicode codepoints have graphical
representations for the emitted source to be readable.
We could also just emit integer literals, but the current method makes
it clear that we have translated a wide character literal and not just
an integer constant.
