`.loop` is also a block, so the block_depth must be stored *after* block
creation, ensuring a correct block_depth to jump back to when receiving
`.repeat`.
This also un-regresses `switch_br` which now correctly handles ranges
within cases. It supports it for both jump tables as well as regular
conditional branches.
The parse of `fn foo(a: switch (...) { ... })` was previously handled
incorrectly; `a` was treated as both the parameter name and a label.
The same issue exists for `for` and `while` expressions -- they should
be fixed too, and the grammar amended appropriately. This commit does
not do this: it only aims to avoid introducing regressions from labeled
switch syntax.
This commit introduces a new AIR instruction, `repeat`, which causes
control flow to move back to the start of a given AIR loop. `loop`
instructions will no longer automatically perform this operation after
control flow reaches the end of the body.
The motivation for making this change now was really just consistency
with the upcoming implementation of #8220: it wouldn't make sense to
have this feature work significantly differently. However, there were
already some TODOs kicking around which wanted this feature. It's useful
for two key reasons:
* It allows loops over AIR instruction bodies to loop precisely until
they reach a `noreturn` instruction. This allows for tail calling a
few things, and avoiding a range check on each iteration of a hot
path, plus gives a nice assertion that validates AIR structure a
little. This is a very minor benefit, which this commit does apply to
the LLVM and C backends.
* It should allow for more compact ZIR and AIR to be emitted by having
AstGen emit `repeat` instructions more often rather than having
`continue` statements `break` to a `block` which is *followed* by a
`repeat`. This is done in status quo because `repeat` instructions
only ever cause the direct parent block to repeat. Now that AIR is
more flexible, this flexibility can be pretty trivially extended to
ZIR, and we can then emit better ZIR. This commit does not implement
this.
Support for this feature is currently regressed on all self-hosted
native backends, including x86_64. This support will be added where
necessary before this branch is merged.
This commit modifies the representation of the AIR `switch_br`
instruction to represent ranges in cases. Previously, Sema emitted
different AIR in the case of a range, where the `else` branch of the
`switch_br` contained a simple `cond_br` for each such case which did a
simple range check (`x > a and x < b`). Not only does this add
complexity to Sema, which we would like to minimize, but it also gets in
the way of the implementation of #8220. That proposal turns certain
`switch` statements into a looping construct, and for optimization
purposes, we want to lower this to AIR fairly directly (i.e. without
involving a `loop` instruction). That means we would ideally like a
single instruction to represent the entire `switch` statement, so that
we can dispatch back to it with a different operand as in #8220. This is
not really possible to do correctly under the status quo system.
This commit implements lowering of this new `switch_br` usage in the
LLVM and C backends. The C backend just turns any case containing ranges
entirely into conditionals, as before. The LLVM backend is a little
smarter, and puts scalar items into the `switch` instruction, only using
conditionals for the range cases (which direct to the same bb). All
remaining self-hosted backends are temporarily regressed in the presence
of switch range cases. This functionality will be restored for at least
the x86_64 backend before merge.
Very simply add the format specifier to the print statement.
Since debug.print is hard coded I couldn't come up with a reasonalble
way to add a test, and since this function is simple enough I doubt it's
useful.
fixes one part of #21094
Both glibc and musl use time64 as the base ABI for riscv32. This fixes the
`sleep` test in `std.time` hanging forever due to the libc functions reading
bogus values.
The kernel does define the struct, it just doesn't use it. Yet both glibc and
musl expose it directly as their public stat struct, and std.c takes it from
std.os.linux. So just define it after all.
Passing it by value means that bringup on new architectures is harder for no
real benefit. Passing it by pointer allows to get the compiler running without
needing to figure out the C calling convention details first. This manifested in
practice on LoongArch, for example.
