* introduce a dump() function on Module.Fn which helpfully prints to
stderr the ZIR representation of a function (can be called before
attempting to codegen it). This is a debugging tool.
* implement x86 codegen for loops
* liveness: fix analysis of conditional branches. The logic was buggy
in a couple ways:
- it never actually saved the results into the IR instruction (fixed now)
- it incorrectly labeled operands as dying when their true death was
after the conditional branch ended (fixed now)
* zir rendering is enhanced to show liveness analysis results. this
helps when debugging liveness analysis.
* fix bug in zir rendering not numbering instructions correctly
closes#6021
* AST: flatten ControlFlowExpression into Continue, Break, and Return.
* AST: unify identifiers and literals into the same AST type: OneToken
* AST: ControlFlowExpression uses TrailerFlags to optimize storage
space.
* astgen: support `var` as well as `const` locals, and support
explicitly typed locals. Corresponding Module and codegen code is not
implemented yet.
* astgen: support result locations.
* ZIR: add the following instructions (see the corresponding doc
comments for explanations of semantics):
- alloc
- alloc_inferred
- bitcast_result_ptr
- coerce_result_block_ptr
- coerce_result_ptr
- coerce_to_ptr_elem
- ensure_result_used
- ensure_result_non_error
- ret_ptr
- ret_type
- store
- param_type
* the skeleton structure for result locations is set up. It's looking
pretty clean so far.
* add compile error for unused result and compile error for discarding
errors.
* astgen: split builtin calls up to implemented manually, and implement
`@as`, `@bitCast` (and others) with respect to result locations.
* add CLI support for hex and raw object formats. They are not
supported by the self-hosted compiler yet, and emit errors.
* rename `--c` CLI to `-ofmt=[objectformat]` which can be any of the
object formats. Only ELF and C are supported so far. Also added missing
help to the help text.
* Remove hard tabs from C backend test cases. Shame on you Noam, you
are grounded, you should know better, etc. Bad boy.
* Delete C backend code and test case that relied on comptime_int
incorrectly making it all the way to codegen.
I'm allowing incremental compilation of ZIR modules to be broken. This
is not a real use case of ZIR, and the feature requires a lot of code
duplication with incremental compilation of Zig AST (which works great).
