Introduce `ResultLoc.none_or_ref` which is used by field access
expressions to avoid unnecessary loads when the field access itself
will do the load. This turns:
```zig
p.y - p.x - p.x
```
from
```zir
%14 = load(%4) node_offset:8:12
%15 = field_val(%14, "y") node_offset:8:13
%16 = load(%4) node_offset:8:18
%17 = field_val(%16, "x") node_offset:8:19
%18 = sub(%15, %17) node_offset:8:16
%19 = load(%4) node_offset:8:24
%20 = field_val(%19, "x") node_offset:8:25
```
to
```zir
%14 = field_val(%4, "y") node_offset:8:13
%15 = field_val(%4, "x") node_offset:8:19
%16 = sub(%14, %15) node_offset:8:16
%17 = field_val(%4, "x") node_offset:8:25
```
Much more compact. This requires `Sema.zirFieldVal` to support both
pointers and non-pointers.
C backend: Implement typedefs for struct types, as well as the following
TZIR instructions:
* mul
* mulwrap
* addwrap
* subwrap
* ref
* struct_field_ptr
Note that add, addwrap, sub, subwrap, mul, mulwrap instructions are all
incorrect currently and need to be updated to properly handle wrapping
and non wrapping for signed and unsigned.
C backend: change indentation delta to 1, to make the output smaller and
to process fewer bytes.
I promise I will add a test case as soon as I fix those warnings that
are being printed for my test case.
GenZir struct now has rl_ty_inst field which tracks the result location
type (if any) a block expects all of its results to be coerced to.
Remove a redundant coercion on const local initialization with a
specified type.
Switch expressions, during elision of store_to_block_ptr instructions,
now re-purpose them to be type coercion when the block has a type in the
result location.
Also fixed abiAlignment - for pointers it was returning the abi
alignment inside the type, rather than of the pointer itself. There is
now `ptrAlignment` for getting the alignment inside the type of
pointers.
* zir.Code: introduce a decls array. This is so that `decl_val` and
`decl_ref` instructions can refer to a Decl with a u32 and therefore
they can also store a source location. This is needed for proper
compile error reporting.
* astgen uses a hash map to avoid redundantly adding a Decl to the
decls array.
* fixed reporting "instruction illegal outside function body" instead
of the desired message "unable to resolve comptime value".
* astgen skips emitting dbg_stmt instructions in comptime scopes.
* astgen has some logic to avoid adding unnecessary type coercion
instructions for common values.
Introduce "inline" variants of ZIR tags:
* block => block_inline
* repeat => repeat_inline
* break => break_inline
* condbr => condbr_inline
The inline variants perform control flow at compile-time, and they
utilize the return value of `Sema.analyzeBody`.
`analyzeBody` now returns an Index, not a Ref, which is the ZIR index of
a break instruction. This effectively communicates both the intended
break target block as well as the operand, allowing parent blocks to
find out whether they, in turn, should return the break instruction up the
call stack, or accept the operand as the block's result and continue
analyzing instructions in the block.
Additionally:
* removed the deprecated ZIR tag `block_comptime`.
* removed `break_void_node` so that all break instructions use the same Data.
* zir.Code: remove the `root_start` and `root_len` fields. There is now
implied to be a block at index 0 for the root body. This is so that
`break_inline` has something to point at and we no longer need the
special instruction `break_flat`.
* implement source location byteOffset() for .node_offset_if_cond
.node_offset_for_cond is probably redundant and can be deleted.
We don't have `comptime var` supported yet, so this commit adds a test
that at least makes sure the condition is required to be comptime known
for `inline while`.
* comment out the failing stage2 test cases
(so that we can uncomment the ones that are newly passing with
further commits)
* Sema: implement negate, negatewrap
* astgen: implement field access, multiline string literals, and
character literals
* Module: when resolving an AST node into a byte offset, use the
main_tokens array, not the firstToken function
* Now it supports being an lvalue (see additional lines in the test
case).
* Properly handles a pointer result location (see additional lines in
the test case that assign the result of the orelse to a variable
rather than a const).
* Properly sets the result location type when possible, so that type
inference of an `orelse` operand expression knows its result type.
We can now codegen optionals! This includes the following instructions:
- is_null
- is_null_ptr
- is_non_null
- is_non_null_ptr
- optional_payload
- optional_payload_ptr
- br_void
Also includes a test for optionals.
All stage2 tests are passing again in this branch.
Remaining checklist for this branch:
* get the rest of the zig fmt test cases passing
- re-enable the translate-c test case that is blocking on this
* implement the 2 `@panic(TODO)`'s in parse.zig
* use fn_proto not fn_decl for extern function declarations
