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.
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.
- hash/eql functions moved into a Context object
- *Context functions pass an explicit context
- *Adapted functions pass specialized keys and contexts
- new getPtr() function returns a pointer to value
- remove functions renamed to fetchRemove
- new remove functions return bool
- removeAssertDiscard deleted, use assert(remove(...)) instead
- Keys and values are stored in separate arrays
- Entry is now {*K, *V}, the new KV is {K, V}
- BufSet/BufMap functions renamed to match other set/map types
- fixed iterating-while-modifying bug in src/link/C.zig
We've settled on the nomenclature for the artifacts the compiler
pipeline produces:
1. Tokens
2. AST (Abstract Syntax Tree)
3. ZIR (Zig Intermediate Representation)
4. AIR (Analyzed Intermediate Representation)
5. Machine Code
Renaming `ir` identifiers to `air` will come with the inevitable
air-memory-layout branch that I plan to start after the 0.8.0 release.
The LLVM backend is now structured into 3 different structs, namely
Object, DeclGen and FuncGen. Object represents an object that is
generated by the LLVM backend. DeclGen is responsible for generating
a decl and FuncGen is responsible for generating llvm instructions
from tzir in a function.
We can now codegen optionals! This includes the following instructions:
- is_null
- is_null_ptr
- is_non_null
- is_non_null_ptr
- optional_payload
- optional_payload_ptr
- br_void
Also includes a test for optionals.
Conflicts:
* src/clang.zig
* src/llvm.zig
- this file got moved to src/llvm/bindings.zig in master branch so I
had to put the new LLVM arch/os enum tags into it.
* lib/std/target.zig, src/stage1/target.cpp
- haiku had an inconsistency with its default target ABI, gnu vs
eabi. In this commit we make it gnu in both places to match the
latest changes by @hoanga.
* src/translate_c.zig
* 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.
