The backend can create annonymous local symbols. This can be used for constants
that will be passed by reference so it will not have to be lowered to the stack, and then
stored into the data section. This also means it's valid to return a pointer to a constant array.
Those local symbols that are created, will be managed by the parent decl. Free'ing the parent decl,
will also free all of its locals.
When a local symbol was created, the index of said symbol will be returned and saved in the `memory`
tag of a `WValue` which is then memoized. This means that each 'emit' of this WValue will create a relocation
for that constant/symbol and the actual pointer value will be set after relocation phase.
Due to the new structure of lowerConstant, we can now simplify the logic in a lot of situations.
- We no longer have to check the `WValue`'s tag to determine how to load/store a value.
- We can now provide simple memcopy's for aggregate types.
- Constants are now memoized, meaning we do no longer lower constants on each callsite.
* rename `entry` to `entry_symbol_name` for the zig build API
* integrate with `zig cc` command line options
* integrate with COFF linking with LLD
* integrate with self-hosted ELF linker
* don't put it in the hash for MachO since it is ignored
In the behavior test listings, I had to move type_info.zig test import
to a section that did not include the x86 backend because it got to the
point where adding another test to the file, even if it was an empty
test that just returned immediately, caused a runtime failure when
executing the test binary.
Anyway, type info for opaques is implemented, and the declarations slice
is shared between it, enums, and unions.
Still TODO is the `data` field of a `Declaration`. I want to consider
removing it from the data returned from `@typeInfo` and introducing
`@declInfo` or similar for this data. This would avoid the complexity of
a lazy mechanism.
This reverts commit d48e4245b68bf25c7f41804a5012ac157a5ee546.
I have no idea why this is failing Drone CI, but in a branch, reverting
this commit solved the problem.
* introduce new Mir tag `mov_mem_index_imm` which selects instruction
of the form `OP ptr [reg + rax*1 + imm32], imm32` where the encoded
flags select the appropriate ptr width for memory store operation
(note that scale is fixed and set at 1)
Instead use the standarized option for communicating the
zig compiler backend at comptime, which is `zig_backend`. This was
introduced in commit 1c24ef0d0b09a12a1fe98056f2fc04de78a82df3.
The ZIR instructions `switch_capture_else` and `switch_capture_ref` are
removed because they are not needed. Instead, the prong index is set to
max int for the special prong.
Else prong with error sets is not handled yet.
Adds a new behavior test because there was not a prior on to cover only
the capture value of else on a switch.
Previously, breaking from an outer block at comptime would result in
incorrect control flow. Now there is a mechanism, `error.ComptimeBreak`,
similar to `error.ComptimeReturn`, to send comptime control flow further
up the stack, to its matching block.
This commit also introduces a new log scope. To use it, pass
`--debug-log sema_zir` and you will see 1 line per ZIR instruction
semantically analyzed. This is useful when you want to understand what
comptime control flow is doing while debugging the compiler.
One more `switch` test case is passing.
* implement `genSetStack` for `ptr_stack_offset`
* handle `ptr_add`
* implement storing from register into pointer in register
* split alignment and array tests into those that pass on x86_64 and
those that do not
* pass more tests on x86_64
* Fix incorrect result when the first digit after the decimal point is not 0-9 - eg 0x0.ap0
* Fix compiler panic when the number starts with `0X` with a capital `X` - eg 0X0p0
* Fix compiler panic when the number has a decimal point immediately after `0x` - eg 0x.0p0
Calling `insert` on a `std.MultiArrayList` currently fails with a compiler error due to using a `try` without the `!` annotation on the return type
```zig
this.list.insert(allocator, 0, listener);
```
```zig
/Users/jarred/Build/zig/lib/std/multi_array_list.zig:192:13: error: expected type 'void', found '@typeInfo(@typeInfo(@TypeOf(std.multi_array_list.MultiArrayList(src.javascript.jsc.node.types.Listener).ensureUnusedCapacity)).Fn.return_type.?).ErrorUnion.error_set'
try self.ensureUnusedCapacity(gpa, 1);
```
Beyond adding default zero-initialization, this commit changes undefined
initialization to zero, as some cases reserved the padding and on other
cases, I've found some systems act strange when giving uninit instead of
zero even when it shouldn't be an issue, one example being
FileProtocol.Open's attributes, which *should* be ignored when not
creating a file, but ended up giving an unrelated error.
There is a mechanism to avoid redundant `as` ZIR instructions which is
to pass `ResultLoc.coerced_ty` instead of `ResultLoc.ty` when it is
known by AstGen that Sema will do the coercion.
This commit downgrades `coerced_ty` to `ty` when a result location
passes through an expression that branches, such as `if`, `switch`,
`while`, and `for`, causing the `as` ZIR instruction to be emitted.
This ensures that the type of a result location will be applied to, e.g.
a `comptime_int` on either side of a branch on a runtime condition.
