We can just use bitcast instead of error_to_int, int_to_error since
errorToInt and intToError do not actually do anything, just change types.
This allows us to remove 2 air ops that were the exact same as bitcast
- hash/eql functions moved into a Context object
- *Context functions pass an explicit context
- *Adapted functions pass specialized keys and contexts
- new getPtr() function returns a pointer to value
- remove functions renamed to fetchRemove
- new remove functions return bool
- removeAssertDiscard deleted, use assert(remove(...)) instead
- Keys and values are stored in separate arrays
- Entry is now {*K, *V}, the new KV is {K, V}
- BufSet/BufMap functions renamed to match other set/map types
- fixed iterating-while-modifying bug in src/link/C.zig
This will set us up to correctly retrieve the error local index and payload index
depending on that of the multi_value's index. As from now, the error will always use
the multi_value's index, and the payload will use the following locals.
- This currently uses the multi-value feature to return both the possible error, and its payload.
- Also genAlloc and the logic to allocate the locals itself have been seperated, so we can create more locals
whenever needed, and not only when `genAlloc` is called.
We've settled on the nomenclature for the artifacts the compiler
pipeline produces:
1. Tokens
2. AST (Abstract Syntax Tree)
3. ZIR (Zig Intermediate Representation)
4. AIR (Analyzed Intermediate Representation)
5. Machine Code
Renaming `ir` identifiers to `air` will come with the inevitable
air-memory-layout branch that I plan to start after the 0.8.0 release.
This allows us to differentiate between regular locals and variables that create multiple locals
on the stack such as optionals and structs.
Now `struct_a = struct_b;` works and only updates a reference, rather than update all local's values.
Also created more test cases to test against this.
- When returning within a block, we must use an explicit return opcode. For now always emit the opcode when calling return, rather than using implicit return statements.
- Also added a more comprehensive test case to test for enum values using conditions
- This adds support for enum values using field indexes
- EmitConstant's signature was changed so it's easier to recursively call it using a different type (enum -> int type).
- Implemented initial support for bitcast which for now just returns the `WValue` of the operand.

We're going to want to improve the stage2 test harness to print
the source file name when a compile error occurs otherwise std lib
contributors are going to see some confusing CI failures when they cause
stage2 AstGen compile errors.
Conflicts:
* build.zig
* src/Compilation.zig
* src/codegen/spirv/spec.zig
* src/link/SpirV.zig
* test/stage2/darwin.zig
- this one might be problematic; start.zig looks for `main` in the
root source file, not `_main`. Not sure why there is an underscore
there in master branch.
As it stands, the backend is incomplete, and there is no active contributor,
making it dead weight.
However, anyone is free to resurrect this backend at any time.
