This change fixes some division-by-zero bugs introduced by the optimized
ring buffer read/write functions in d8c067966.
There are edge cases where decompression can use a length zero ring
buffer as the size of the ring buffer used is exactly the the window
size specified by a Zstandard frame, and this can be zero. Switching
away from loops to mem copies means that we need to ensure ring buffers
do not have length zero ring when attempting to read/write from them.
Boundary symbols have a special name prefix:
* section$start$segname$sectname
* section$stop$segname$sectname
* segment$start$segname
* segment$stop$segname
and will resolve to either start or end of the respective
section/segment if found.
If not found, we return an error stating we couldn't find the
requested section/segment rather than silently failing and resolving
the address to 0 which seems to be the case with Apple's ld64.
There are two optimizations here, which work together to avoid a
pathological case.
The first optimization is that AstGen now records the result type of an
array multiplication expression where possible. This type is not used
according to the language specification, but instead as an optimization.
In the expression '.{x} ** 1000', if we know that the result must be an
array, then it is much more efficient to coerce the LHS to an array with
length 1 before doing the multiplication. Otherwise, we end up with a
1000-element tuple which we must coerce to an array by individually
extracting each field.
Secondly, the previous logic would repeatedly extract element/field
values from the LHS when initializing the result. This is unnecessary:
each element must only be extracted once, and the result reused.
These changes together give huge improvements to compiler performance on
a pathological case: AIR instructions go from 65551 to 15, and total AIR
bytes go from 1.86MiB to 264.57KiB. Codegen time spent on this function
(in a debug compiler build) goes from minutes to essentially zero.
Resolves: #17586
b3462b7 caused a regression in a third-party project, since it forced
resolution of field initializers for any field call 'foo.bar()', despite
this only being necessary when 'bar' is a comptime field.
