This actually used to be how it worked in stage1, and there was this
issue to change it: #2649
So this commit is a reversal to that idea. One motivation for that issue
was avoiding emitting the panic handler in compilations that do not have
any calls to panic. This commit only resolves the panic handler in the
event of a safety check function being emitted, so it does not have that
flaw.
The other reason given in that issue was for optimizations that elide
safety checks. It's yet to be determined whether that was a good idea or
not; this can get re-explored when we start adding optimization passes
to AIR.
This commit adds these AIR instructions, which are only emitted if
`backendSupportsFeature(.safety_checked_arithmetic)` is true:
* add_safe
* sub_safe
* mul_safe
It removes these nonsensical AIR instructions:
* addwrap_optimized
* subwrap_optimized
* mulwrap_optimized
The safety-checked arithmetic functions push the burden of invoking the
panic handler into the backend. This makes for a messier compiler
implementation, but it reduces the amount of AIR instructions emitted by
Sema, which reduces time spent in the secondary bottleneck of the
compiler. It also generates more compact LLVM IR, reducing time spent in
the primary bottleneck of the compiler.
Finally, it eliminates 1 stack allocation per safety-check which was
being used to store the resulting tuple. These allocations were going to
be annoying when combined with suspension points.
Most of this migration was performed automatically with `zig fmt`. There
were a few exceptions which I had to manually fix:
* `@alignCast` and `@addrSpaceCast` cannot be automatically rewritten
* `@truncate`'s fixup is incorrect for vectors
* Test cases are not formatted, and their error locations change
Anecdote 1: The generic version is way more popular than the non-generic
one in Zig codebase:
git grep -w alignForward | wc -l
56
git grep -w alignForwardGeneric | wc -l
149
git grep -w alignBackward | wc -l
6
git grep -w alignBackwardGeneric | wc -l
15
Anecdote 2: In my project (turbonss) that does much arithmetic and
alignment I exclusively use the Generic functions.
Anecdote 3: we used only the Generic versions in the Macho Man's linker
workshop.
The main motivation for this commit is eliminating Decl.value_arena.
Everything else is dominoes.
Decl.name used to be stored in the GPA, now it is stored in InternPool.
It ended up being simpler to migrate other strings to be interned as
well, such as struct field names, union field names, and a few others.
This ended up requiring a big diff, sorry about that. But the changes
are pretty nice, we finally start to take advantage of InternPool's
existence.
global_error_set and error_name_list are simplified. Now it is a single
ArrayHashMap(NullTerminatedString, void) and the index is the error tag
value.
Module.tmp_hack_arena is re-introduced (it was removed in
eeff407941560ce8eb5b737b2436dfa93cfd3a0c) in order to deal with
comptime_args, optimized_order, and struct and union fields. After
structs and unions get moved into InternPool properly, tmp_hack_arena
can be deleted again.
This is neither a type nor a value. Simplifies `addStrLit` as well as
the many places that switch on `InternPool.Key`.
This is a partial revert of bec29b9e498e08202679aa29a45dab2a06a69a1e.
This is a bit odd, because this value doesn't actually exist:
see #15909. This gets all the empty enum/union behavior tests passing.
Also adds an assertion to `Sema.analyzeBodyInner` which would have
helped figure out the issue here much more quickly.
The Zig language allows the compiler to make this optimization
automatically. We should definitely make the compiler do that, and
revert this commit. However, that will not happen in this branch, and I
want to continue to explore achieving performance parity with
merge-base. So, this commit changes all InternPool parameters to be
passed by const pointer rather than by value.
I measured a 1.03x ± 0.03 speedup vs the previous commit compiling the
(set of passing) behavior tests. Against merge-base, this commit is
1.17x ± 0.04 slower, which is an improvement from the previous
measurement of 1.22x ± 0.02.

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this to happen, and
it should become obsolete when comptime mutation is rewritten
and the remaining legacy value tags are remove, so keeping this
as a separate revertable commit.
One change worth noting in this commit is that `module.global_error_set`
is no longer kept strictly up-to-date. The previous code reserved
integer error values when dealing with error set types, but this is no
longer needed because the integer values are not needed for semantic
analysis unless `@errorToInt` or `@intToError` are used and therefore
may be assigned lazily.
I'm seeing a new assertion trip: the call to `enumTagFieldIndex` in the
implementation of `@Type` is attempting to query the field index of an
union's enum tag, but the type of the enum tag value provided is not the
same as the union's tag type. Most likely this is a problem with type
coercion, since values are now typed.
Another problem is that I added some hacks in std.builtin because I
didn't see any convenient way to access them from Sema. That should
definitely be cleaned up before merging this branch.
This commit changes a lot of `*const Module` to `*Module` to make it
work, since accessing the integer tag type of an enum might need to
mutate the InternPool by adding a new integer type into it.
An alternate strategy would be to pre-heat the InternPool with the
integer tag type when creating an enum type, which would make it so that
intTagType could accept a const Module instead of a mutable one,
asserting that the InternPool already had the integer tag type.
Instead of doing everything at once which is a hopelessly large task,
this introduces a piecemeal transition that can be done in small
increments at a time.
This is a minimal changeset that keeps the compiler compiling. It only
uses the InternPool for a small set of types.
Behavior tests are not passing.
Air.Inst.Ref and Zir.Inst.Ref are separated into different enums but
compile-time verified to have the same fields in the same order.
The large set of changes is mainly to deal with the fact that most Type
and Value methods now require a Module to be passed in, so that the
InternPool object can be accessed.
* move `ptrBitWidth` from Arch to Target since it needs to know about the abi
* double isn't always 8 bits
* AVR uses 1-byte alignment for everything in GCC
