Avoids many pitfalls connected with premature/early return in case
there are errors with Decl, etc. This is effectively bringing back
the old design however in a much nicer packaging, where every
mechanism related to tracking Decl's debug info is now nicely
wrapped in a single struct (aka the `DeclState`). This includes
relocation table, type arena, etc. It is now the caller's
responsibility to deinit the state (so that no memory is leaked)
after `Decl` has been analysed (or errored out). The caller here
is typically a linker such as `Elf` or `MachO`.
This implements improvements/fixes to get all the union, tuple, and array behavior tests passing.
Previously, we lowered parent pointers for field_ptr and element_ptr incompletely. This has now
been improved to recursively lower such pointer.
Also a fix was done to `generateSymbol` when checking a container's layout.
Previously it was assumed to always be a struct. However, the type can also be a tuple, and therefore
panicking. Updating to ask a type's container layout instead allows us to keep a singular branch for both cases.
Add placeholder files for Codegen, Emit, and Mir stages, complete with
a placeholder implementation of generate() to make it able to be plugged in
to the frontend. At the moment the implementation just panics, it'll be
worked on incrementally later.
Also, this registers the sparcv9 backend files into CMakeLists.txt.
Like decl code generation, also unify the wasm backend and the wasm linker to call into
the general purpose `codegen.zig` to generate the code for a function.
When an union had a zero-sized payload type, we would lower the tag twice. This is fixed
by exiting early when `payload_size` is 0.
With regards to error unions, we were only accounting for padding for the payload field.
However, the errorset value can have a smaller alignment than the payload as well, i.e. error!usize.
We fix this by also accounting for padding/alignment of the error set tag of an error union.
Several issues with pointer types are fixed:
Prior to this commit, Zig would not canonicalize a pointer type with
an explicit alignment to alignment=0 if it matched the pointee ABI
alignment. In order to fix this, `Type.ptr` now takes a Target
parameter. I also moved the host_size canonicalization to `Type.ptr`
since target is now available. Similarly, is_allowzero in the case of
C pointers is now treated as a canonicalization done by the function
rather than a precondition.
in-memory coercion for pointers now properly checks ABI alignment
of pointee types instead of incorrectly treating the 0 value as an
alignment.
Type equality is completely reworked based on the tag() rather than the
zigTypeTag(). It's still semantically based on zigTypeTag() but that
knowledge is implied rather than dictating the control flow of the
logic. Importantly, this fixes cases for opaques, structs, tuples,
enums, and unions, where type equality was incorrectly returning based
on whether the tag() values were equal.
Additionally, pointer type equality now takes into account alignment.
Because we canonicalize non-zero alignment which equals pointee type ABI
alignment to alignment=0, this now can be a simple integer comparison.
Type hashing is implemented for pointers and floats. Array types now
additionally hash their sentinels.
This regressed some behavior tests that were passing but only because
of bugs regarding type equality.
The C backend has a noticeable problem with lowering differently-aligned
pointers (particularly slices) as the same type, causing C compilation
errors due to duplicate declarations.
In `getDeclVAddr`, it may happen that the target `Decl` has not
been allocated space in virtual memory. In this case, we store a
relocation in the linker-global table which we will iterate over
when flushing the module, and fill in any missing address in the
final binary. Note that for optimisation, if the address was resolved
at the time of a call to `getDeclVAddr`, we skip relocating this
atom.
This commit also adds the glue code for lowering const slices in
the ARM backend.
* pass more x64 behavior tests
* return with a TODO error when lowering a decl with no runtime bits
* insert some debug logs for tracing recursive descent down the
type-value tree when lowering types
* print `Decl`'s name when print debugging `decl_ref` value
* pad out (non-packed) struct fields when lowering to bytes to be
saved in the binary - prior to this change, fields would be
saved at non-aligned addresses leading to wrong accesses
* add a matching test case to `behavior/struct.zig` tests
* fix offset to field calculation in `struct_field_ptr` on `x86_64`
AstGen:
* rename the known_has_bits flag to known_non_opv to make it better
reflect what it actually means.
* add a known_comptime_only flag.
* make the flags take advantage of identifiers of primitives and the
fact that zig has no shadowing.
* correct the known_non_opv flag for function bodies.
Sema:
* Rename `hasCodeGenBits` to `hasRuntimeBits` to better reflect what it
does.
- This function got a bit more complicated in this commit because of
the duality of function bodies: on one hand they have runtime bits,
but on the other hand they require being comptime known.
* WipAnonDecl now takes a LazySrcDecl parameter and performs the type
resolutions that it needs during finish().
* Implement comptime `@ptrToInt`.
Codegen:
* Improved handling of lowering decl_ref; make it work for
comptime-known ptr-to-int values.
- This same change had to be made many different times; perhaps we
should look into merging the implementations of `genTypedValue`
across x86, arm, aarch64, and riscv.
It is the job of codegen backends to mark Decls that are referenced as
alive so that the frontend does not sweep them with the garbage. This
commit unifies the code between the backends with an added method on
Decl.
The implementation is more complete than before, switching on the Decl
val tag and recursing into sub-values.
As a result, two more array tests are passing.
* stage2: put decls in different MachO sections
Use `getDeclVAddrWithReloc` when targeting MachO backend rather than
`getDeclVAddr` - this fn returns a zero vaddr and instead creates a
relocation on the linker side which will get automatically updated
whenever the target decl is moved in memory. This fn also records
a rebase of the target pointer so that its value is correctly slid
in presence of ASLR.
This commit enables `zig test` on x86_64-macos.
* stage2: fix output section selection for type,val pairs
const locals now detect if the value ends up being comptime known. In
such case, it replaces the runtime AIR instructions with a decl_ref
const.
In the backends, some more sophisticated logic for marking decls as
alive was needed to prevent Decls incorrectly being garbage collected
that were indirectly referenced in such manner.
* Introduce a mechanism into Sema for emitting a compile error when an
integer is too big and we need it to fit into a usize.
* Add `@intCast` where necessary
* link/MachO: fix an unnecessary allocation when all that was happening
was appending zeroes to an ArrayList.
* Add `error.Overflow` as a possible error to some codepaths, allowing
usage of `math.intCast`.
