The existing `cmp_*` instructions get their result type from `lhs`, but
vector comparison will always return a vector of bools with only the
length derived from its operands. This necessitates the creation of a
new AIR instruction.
The codegen for this is almost identical to `ptr_elem_ptr` except
there's an extra `mov` at the end to replace the pointer with the
value it points to, "in-place" (which can be done in a single
instruction without any extra registers).
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.
Notably, Value.eql and Value.hash are improved to treat NaN as equal to
itself, so that Type/Value can be hash map keys. Likewise float hashing
normalizes the float value before computing the hash.
When the length is comptime-known, we perform an inline loop instead of emitting
a runtime loop into the binary.
This also allows us to easily write 'undefined' to aggregate types.
We now do this when we set the error tag of an error union where the payload will be set to undefined.
This implements the `memcpy` instruction and also updates the inline memcpy calls
to make use of the same implementation. We use the fast-loop when the length is comptime known,
and use a runtime loop when the length is runtime known.
We also perform feature-dection to emit a simply wasm memory.copy instruction when the feature
'bulk-memory' is enabled. (off by default).
