Until now, we would pass `candidate: NativeTargetInfo` which creates
a copy of the `NativeTargetInfo.DynamicLinker` buffer. We would then
return this buffer in `bad_dl: []const u8` which would goes out-of-scope
the moment we leave this function frame yielding garbage. To fix this,
we just need to remember to pass by const-pointer
`candidate: *const NativeTargetInfo`.
* add nested packed struct/union behavior tests
* use ptr_info.packed_offset rather than trying to duplicate the logic from Sema.structFieldPtrByIndex()
* use the container_ptr_info.packed_offset to account for non-aligned nested structs.
* dedup type.packedStructFieldBitOffset() and module.structPackedFieldBitOffset()
My previous change for reading / writing to unions at comptime did not handle
union field read/writes correctly in all cases. Previously, if a field was
written to a union, it would overwrite the entire value. This is problematic
when a field of a larger size is subsequently read, because the value would not
be long enough, causing a panic.
Additionally, the writing behaviour itself was incorrect. Writing to a field of
a packed or extern union should only overwrite the bits corresponding to that
field, allowing for memory reintepretation via field writes / reads.
I addressed these problems as follows:
Add the concept of a "backing type" for extern / packed unions
(`Type.unionBackingType`). For extern unions, this is a `u8` array, for packed
unions it's an integer matching the `bitSize` of the union. Whenever union
memory is read at comptime, it's read as this type.
When union memory is written at comptime, the tag may still be known. If so, the
memory is written using the tagged type. If the tag is unknown (because this
union had previously been read from memory), it's simply written back out as the
backing type.
I added `write_packed` to the `reinterpret` field of
`ComptimePtrMutationKit`. This causes writes of the operand to be packed - which
is necessary when writing to a field of a packed union. Without this, writing a
value to a `u1` field would overwrite the entire byte it occupied.
The final case to address was reading a different (potentially larger) field
from a union when it was written with a known tag. To handle this, a new kind of
bitcast was introduced (`bitCastUnionFieldVal`) which supports reading a larger
field by using a backing buffer that has the unwritten bits set to
undefined. The reason to support this (vs always just writing the union as it's
backing type), is that no reads to larger fields ever occur at comptime, it
would be strictly worse to have spent time writing the full backing type.
Addresses #17015 by introducing a new startWithOptions. The only option is currently is a flag
to use the provided URI as is, without modification when passed to the server. Normally, this
is not needed nor desired. However, some REST APIs may have requirements that cannot be satisfied
with the default handling.
When compiling for *-windows-msvc, find the native libc_installation and
add the lib dirs to lib_dirs, so that system libs can be found.
Previously, `version` and `ole32` were detected via the mingw.libExists logic,
even on .msvc, which was a false positive. This detection logic for mingw doesn't
find uuid.lib, which was the failure that triggered this bugfix.
Only build the issue_5825 test if the native target is x86_64-windows-msvc,
since it requires the .msvc abi.
This fixes a panic in `unionAbiSize` when a 0-length array of a union is used as a struct field.
Because `resolveTypeLayout` does not resolve the `elem_ty` if `arrayLenIncludingSentinel` returns
0 for the array, the child union type is not guaranteed to have a resolved layout at this point.
Fixed this case by just returning 0 here.
I have observed the standard library tests overflowing the default WASI
stack as of the previous commit. As best as I can tell, this isn't
directly our fault: LLVM is just emitting less efficient code in debug
builds with the new codegen patterns.
