This is problematic because in practice it depends on whether the
compiler backend supports it too, as evidenced by the TODO comment about
LLVM not supporting some architectures that in fact do support tail
calls.
Instead this logic is organized strategically in src/target.zig, part of
the internal compiler source code, and the behavior tests in question
duplicate some logic for deciding whether to proceed with the test.
The proper place to expose this flag is in `@import("builtin")` - the
generated source file - so that third party compilers can advertise
whether they support tail calls.
Prior to this change we would assume the ABI for Apple targets to
be GNU which could result in subtle errors in LLVM emitting calls
to non-existent system libc provided functions such as `_sincosf`
which is a GNU extension and as such is not provided by macOS for example.
This would result in linker errors where the linker would not be
able to find the said symbol in `libSystem.tbd`.
With this change, we now correctly identify macOS (and other Apple
platforms) as having ABI `unknown` which translates to unspecified
in LLVM under-the-hood:
```
// main.ll
target triple = "aarch64-unknown-macos-unknown"
```
Note however that we never suffix the target OS with target version
such as `macos11` or `macos12` which means we fail to instruct LLVM
of potential optimisations provided by the OS such as the availability
of function `___sincosf_stret`. I suggest we investigate that in a
follow-up commit.
Rename all references of sparcv9 to sparc64, to make Zig align more with
other projects. Also, added new function to convert glibc arch name to Zig
arch name, since it refers to the architecture as sparcv9.
This is based on the suggestion by @kubkon in PR 11847.
(https://github.com/ziglang/zig/pull/11487#pullrequestreview-963761757)
For x86_64, LLVMABIAlignmentOfType(i128) reports 8. However I think 16
is a better number for two reasons:
1. Better machine code when loading into SIMD register.
2. The C ABI wants 16 for extern structs.
ZIR instructions updated: atomic_load, atomic_rmw, atomic_store, cmpxchg
These no longer construct a pointer type as the result location. This
solves a TODO that was preventing the pointer from possibly being
volatile, as well as properly handling allowzero and addrspace.
It also allows the pointer to be over-aligned, which may be needed
depending on the target. As a consequence, the element type needs to be
communicated in the ZIR. This is done by strategically making one of the
operands be ResultLoc.ty instead of ResultLoc.coerced_ty if possible, or
otherwise explicitly adding elem_type into the ZIR encoding, such as in
the case of atomic_load.
The pointer type of atomic operations is now checked in Sema by coercing
it to an expected pointer type, that maybe over-aligned according to
target requirements.
Together with the previous commit, Zig now has smaller alignment for
large integers, depending on the target, and yet still has type safety
for atomic operations that specially require higher alignment.
Previously, Zig ignored -lgcc_s with a warning that this dependency is
redundant because it is satisfied by compiler-rt. However, sfackler
pointed out that it also provides exception handling functions. So if
Zig sees -lgcc_s on the linker line, it needs to fulfill this dependency
with libunwind.
I also made link_libc inferred to be on if libunwind is linked since
libunwind depends on libc.
For some projects, they can't help themselves, -lgcc_s ends up on the
compiler command line even though it does not belong there. In Zig we
know what -lgcc_s does. It's an alternative to compiler-rt. With this
commit we emit a warning telling that it is unnecessary to put such
thing on the command line, and happily ignore it, since we will fulfill
the dependency with compiler-rt.
This commit updates stage2 to enforce the property that the syntax
`fn()void` is a function *body* not a *pointer*. To get a pointer, the
syntax `*const fn()void` is required.
ZIR puts function alignment into the func instruction rather than the
decl because this way it makes it into function types. LLVM backend
respects function alignments.
Struct and Union have methods `fieldSrcLoc` to help look up source
locations of their fields. These trigger full loading, tokenization, and
parsing of source files, so should only be called once it is confirmed
that an error message needs to be printed.
There are some nice new error hints for explaining why a type is
required to be comptime, particularly for structs that contain function
body types.
`Type.requiresComptime` is now moved into Sema because it can fail and
might need to trigger field type resolution. Comptime pointer loading
takes into account types that do not have a well-defined memory layout
and does not try to compute a byte offset for them.
`fn()void` syntax no longer secretly makes a pointer. You get a function
body type, which requires comptime. However a pointer to a function body
can be runtime known (obviously).
Compile errors that report "expected pointer, found ..." are factored
out into convenience functions `checkPtrOperand` and `checkPtrType` and
have a note about function pointers.
Implemented `Value.hash` for functions, enum literals, and undefined values.
stage1 is not updated to this (yet?), so some workarounds and disabled
tests are needed to keep everything working. Should we update stage1 to
these new type semantics? Yes probably because I don't want to add too
much conditional compilation logic in the std lib for the different
backends.
Before this commit, glibc headers did the following mapping:
* (zig) mipsel-linux-gnu => (glibc) mipsel-linux-gnu
* (zig) mipsel-linux-gnu-soft => (glibc) (none)
* (zig) mips-linux-gnu => (glibc) mips-linux-gnu
* (zig) mips-linux-gnu-soft => (glibc) (none)
While the glibc ABI stubs used the (zig) gnueabi and gnueabihf ABIs,
and the stage2 available_libcs array listed:
* (zig) mipsel-linux-gnu
* (zig) mips-linux-gnu
The problem is the mismatch between the ABI component of the headers and
the stubs.
This commit makes the following clarifications:
* (zig) mips-linux-gnueabi means soft-float
* (zig) mipsel-linux-gnueabi means soft-float
* (zig) mips-linux-gnueabihf means hard-float
* (zig) mipsel-linux-gnueabihf means hard-float
Consequently, the glibc headers now do this mapping:
* (zig) mips-linux-gnueabihf => (glibc) mips-linux-gnu
* (zig) mipsel-linux-gnueabihf => (glibc) mipsel-linux-gnu
* (zig) mips-linux-gnueabi => (glibc) mips-linux-gnu-soft
* (zig) mipsel-linux-gnueabi => (glibc) mipsel-linux-gnu-soft
The glibc ABI stubs are unchanged, and the stage2 available_libcs
array's 2 entries are modified and it gains 2 more:
* (zig) mipsel-linux-gnueabi
* (zig) mipsel-linux-gnueabihf
* (zig) mips-linux-gnueabi
* (zig) mips-linux-gnueabihf
Now everything is consistent. Zig no longer recognizes a `mips-linux-gnu`
triple; one must use `mips-linux-gnueabi` (soft float) or
`mips-linux-gnueabihf` (hard float).
This branch introduced std.Target.TargetAbi when we already had
std.Target.Abi which was, unsurprisingly, already suited for this task.
Also pull out the -mabi= cc flag addition to the common area instead of
duplicating it for assembly and c files.
* Add missing Linux headers. Closes#9837
* Update existing headers to latest Linux.
* Consolidate headers that are the same for multiple Zig target CPU
architectures. For example, Linux has only an x86 directory for both
x86_64 and x86 CPU architectures. Now Zig only ships an x86 directory
for Linux headers, and will emit the proper corresponding -isystem
flags.
* tools/update-linux-headers.zig is now available for upgrading to
newer Linux headers, and the update process is now documented on the
wiki.
This is a property which solely belongs to pointers to functions,
not to the functions themselves. This cannot be properly represented by
stage 2 at the moment, as type with zigTypeTag() == .Fn is overloaded for
for function pointers and function prototypes.

In master branch, ZigLLVMBuildCmpXchg is improved to add
`is_single_threaded`. However, the LLVM 13 C API has this already, and
in the llvm13 branch, ZigLLVMBuildCmpXchg is deleted in favor of the C
API. In this commit I updated stage2 to use the LLVM 13 C API rather
than depending on an improved ZigLLVMBuildCmpXchg.
Additionally, src/target.zig largestAtomicBits needed to be updated to
include the new m68k ISA.
* Implement Sema for `@cmpxchgWeak` and `@cmpxchgStrong`. Both runtime
and comptime codepaths are implement.
* Implement Codegen for LLVM backend and C backend.
* Add LazySrcLoc.node_offset_builtin_call_argX 3...5
* Sema: rework comptime control flow.
- `error.ComptimeReturn` is used to signal that a comptime function
call has returned a result (stored in the Inlining struct).
`analyzeCall` notices this and handles the result.
- The ZIR instructions `break_inline`, `block_inline`,
`condbr_inline` are now redundant and can be deleted. `break`,
`block`, and `condbr` function equivalently inside a comptime scope.
- The ZIR instructions `loop` and `repeat` also are modified to
directly perform comptime control flow inside a comptime scope,
skipping an unnecessary mechanism for analysis of runtime code.
This makes Zig perform closer to an interpreter when evaluating
comptime code.
* Sema: zirRetErrValue looks at Sema.ret_fn_ty rather than sema.func
for adding to the inferred error set. This fixes a bug for
inlined/comptime function calls.
* Implement ZIR printing for cmpxchg.
* stage1: make cmpxchg respect --single-threaded
- Our LLVM C++ API wrapper failed to expose this boolean flag before.
* Fix AIR printing for struct fields showing incorrect liveness data.

d57c0cc3bfeff9af297279759ec2b631e6d95140 added support for DragonFlyBSD
to libc++ by updating some ifdefs. This needed to be synced with llvm13.
The motivation for this commit is that there exists source files which
produce ast-check errors, but crash stage1 or otherwise trigger stage1
bugs. Previously to this commit, Zig would run AstGen, collect the
compile errors, run stage1, report stage1 compile errors and exit if
any, and then report AstGen compile errors.
The main change in this commit is to report AstGen errors prior to
invoking stage1, and in fact if any AstGen errors occur, do not invoke
stage1 at all.
This caused most of the compile error tests to fail due to things such
as unused local variables and mismatched stage1/stage2 error messages.
It was taking a long time to update the test cases one-by-one, so I
took this opportunity to unify the stage1 and stage2 testing harness,
specifically with regards to compile errors. In this way we can start
keeping track of which tests pass for 1, 2, or both.
`zig build test-compile-errors` no longer works; it is now integrated
into `zig build test-stage2`.
This is one step closer to executing compile error tests in parallel; in
fact the ThreadPool object is already in scope.
There are some cases where the stage1 compile errors were actually
better; those are left failing in this commit, to be addressed in a
follow-up commit.
Other changes in this commit:
* build.zig: improve support for -Dstage1 used with the test step.
* AstGen: minor cosmetic changes to error messages.
* stage2: add -fstage1 and -fno-stage1 flags. This now allows one to
download a binary of the zig compiler and use the llvm backend of
self-hosted. This was also needed for hooking up the test harness.
However, I realized that stage1 calls exit() and also has memory
leaks, so had to complicate the test harness by not using this flag
after all and instead invoking as a child process.
- These CLI flags will disappear once we start shipping the
self-hosted compiler as the main compiler. Until then, they can be
used to try out the work-in-progress stage2.
* stage2: select the LLVM backend by default for release modes, as long
as the target architecture is supported by LLVM.
* test harness: support setting the optimize mode
* stage1 backend allows configuring the uwtables function attr
via a flag rather than its own logic.
* stage2 defaults to enabling uwtable attr when
linking libunwind, or always on windows
* stage2 makes link_eh_frame_hdr true automatically if uwtable
attr is set to be on for zig functions
* CLI: add -funwind-tables and -fno-unwind-tables to allow the user to
override the defaults.
* hook it up to `zig cc`
closes#9046
Clang has a completely inconsistent CLI for its integrated assembler for
each target architecture. For x86_64, for example, it does not accept
an -mcpu parameter, and emits "warning: unused parameter". However, for
ARM, -mcpu is needed in order to properly lower assembly to machine code
instructions (see new standalone test case provided thanks to @g-w1).
This is a compromise between
b8f85a805bf61ae11d6ee2bd6d8356fbc98ee3ba and
afb9f695b1bdbf81185e7d55d5783bcbab880989.
- more support for linux, android, freebsd, netbsd, openbsd, dragonfly
- centralize musl utils; musl logic is no longer intertwined with csu
- fix musl compilation to build crti/crtn for full archs list
- fix openbsd to support `zig build-lib -dynamic`
- initial dragonfly linking success (with a warning)
ancillary:
- fix emutls (openbsd) tests to use `try`
This matches the behaviour of other languages and leaves us
the ability to create actual static Wasm archives with
```
zig build-lib -static some.zig
```
which can then be combined with other Wasm object files and linked
into either a Wasm lib or executable using `wasm-ld`.
Update langref to reflect the fact we now ship WASI libc.
Rename include dir to match the convention:
from `wasm32-wasi` to `wasm-wasi-musl`
Add building stubs which will be used to build and cache WASI
libc sysroot.
