The astgen for switch expressions did not respect the ZIR rules of only
referencing instructions that are in scope:
%14 = block_comptime_flat({
%15 = block_comptime_flat({
%16 = const(TypedValue{ .ty = comptime_int, .val = 1})
})
%17 = block_comptime_flat({
%18 = const(TypedValue{ .ty = comptime_int, .val = 2})
})
})
%19 = block({
%20 = ref(%5)
%21 = deref(%20)
%22 = switchbr(%20, [%15, %17], {
%15 => {
%23 = const(TypedValue{ .ty = comptime_int, .val = 1})
%24 = store(%10, %23)
%25 = const(TypedValue{ .ty = void, .val = {}})
%26 = break("label_19", %25)
},
%17 => {
%27 = const(TypedValue{ .ty = comptime_int, .val = 2})
%28 = store(%10, %27)
%29 = const(TypedValue{ .ty = void, .val = {}})
%30 = break("label_19", %29)
}
}, {
%31 = unreachable_safe()
}, special_prong=else)
})
In this snippet you can see that the comptime expr referenced %15 and
%17 which are not in scope. There also was no test coverage for runtime
switch expressions.
Switch expressions will have to be re-introduced to follow these rules
and with some test coverage. There is some usable code being deleted in
this commit; it will be useful to reference when re-implementing switch
later.
A few more improvements to do while we're at it:
* only use .ref result loc on switch target if any prongs obtain the
payload with |*syntax|
- this improvement should be done to if, while, and for as well.
- this will remove the needless ref/deref instructions above
* remove switchbr and add switch_block, which is both a block and a
switch branch.
- similarly we should remove loop and add loop_block.
This commit introduces a "force_comptime" flag into the GenZIR
scope. The main purpose of this will be to choose the "comptime"
variants of certain key zir instructions, such as function calls and
branches. We will be moving away from using the block_comptime_flat
ZIR instruction, and eventually deleting it.
This commit also contains miscellaneous fixes to this branch that bring
it to the state of passing all the tests.
on the break instruction operands. This involves a new TZIR instruction,
br_block_flat, which represents a break instruction where the operand is
the result of a flat block. See the doc comments on the instructions for
more details.
How it works: when adding break instructions in semantic analysis, the
underlying allocation is slightly padded so that it is the size of a
br_block_flat instruction, which allows the break instruction to later
be converted without removing instructions inside the parent body. The
extra type coercion instructions go into the body of the br_block_flat,
and backends are responsible for dispatching the instruction correctly
(it should map to the same function calls for related instructions).
Local variable declarations now detect whether the result location for the
initialization expression consumes the result location as a pointer. If
it does, then the local is emitted as a LocalPtr. Otherwise it is
emitted as a LocalVal.
This results in clean, straightforward ZIR code for semantic analysis.
Motivating test case:
```zig
export fn _start() noreturn {
var x: u64 = 1;
var y: u32 = 2;
var thing: u32 = 1;
const result = if (thing == 1) x else y;
exit();
}
```
The main idea here is for astgen to output ideal ZIR depending on
whether or not the sub-expressions of a block consume the result
location. Here, neither `x` nor `y` consume the result location of the
conditional expression block, and so the ZIR should communicate the
result of the condbr using break instructions, not with the result
location pointer.
With this commit, this is accomplished:
```
%22 = alloc_inferred()
%23 = block({
%24 = const(TypedValue{ .ty = type, .val = bool})
%25 = deref(%18)
%26 = const(TypedValue{ .ty = comptime_int, .val = 1})
%27 = cmp_eq(%25, %26)
%28 = as(%24, %27)
%29 = condbr(%28, {
%30 = deref(%4)
< there is no longer a store instruction here >
%31 = break("label_23", %30)
}, {
%32 = deref(%11)
< there is no longer a store instruction here >
%33 = break("label_23", %32)
})
})
%34 = store_to_inferred_ptr(%22, %23) <-- the store is only here
%35 = resolve_inferred_alloc(%22)
```
However if the result location gets consumed, the break instructions
change to break_void, and the result value is communicated only by the
stores, not by the break instructions.
Implementation:
* The GenZIR scope that conditional branches uses now has an optional
result location pointer field and a count of how many times the
result location ended up being an rvalue (not consumed).
* When rvalue() is called on a result location for a block, it
increments this counter. After generating the branches of a block,
astgen for the conditional branch checks this count and if it is 2
then the store_to_block_ptr instructions are elided and it calls
rvalue() using the block result (which will account for peer type
resolution on the break operands).
astgen has many functions disabled until they can be reworked with these
new semantics. That will be done before merging the branch.
There are some new rules for astgen to follow regarding result locations
and what you are allowed/required to do depending on which one is passed
to expr(). See the updated doc comments of ResultLoc for details.
I also changed naming conventions of stuff in this commit, sorry about
that.
comptime direct slice.len increment dodges bounds checking but
we can emit an error for it, at least in the simple case.
- promote original assert to compile-error
- add test case
closes#7810
Adds support for wide, UTF-16, and UTF-32 string literals. If used to initialize
an incomplete array, the same logic as narrow strings is used. Otherwise they
are translated as global "anonymous" arrays of the relevant underlying char type.
A dot is used in the name to ensure the generated names do not conflict with any
other names in the translated program.
For example:
```c
void my_fn() {
const uint32_t *foo = U"foo";
}
```
becomes:
```zig
const @"zig.UTF32_string_2" = [4]c_uint{
'\u{66}',
'\u{6f}',
'\u{6f}',
0,
};
pub export fn my_fn() void {
var foo: [*c]const u32 = &@"zig.UTF32_string_2";
}
```
1. For incomplete arrays with initializer list (`int x[] = {1};`) use the
initializer size as the array size.
2. For arrays initialized with a string literal translate it as an array
of character literals instead of `[*c]const u8`
3. Don't crash if an empty initializer is used for an incomplete array.
4. Add a test for multi-character character constants
Additionally lay some groundwork for supporting wide string literals.
fixes#4831#7832#7842
The CLI gains -flto and -fno-lto options to override the default.
However, the cool thing about this is that the defaults are great! In
general when you use build-exe in release mode, Zig will enable LTO if
it would work and it would help.
zig cc supports detecting and honoring the -flto and -fno-lto flags as
well. The linkWithLld functions are improved to all be the same with
regards to copying the artifact instead of trying to pass single objects
through LLD with -r. There is possibly a future improvement here as
well; see the respective TODOs.
stage1 is updated to support outputting LLVM bitcode instead of machine
code when lto is enabled. This allows LLVM to optimize across the Zig and
C/C++ code boundary.
closes#2845
This temporary patch fixes a segfault caused by miscompilation
by the LLD when generating stubs for initialization of thread local
storage. We effectively bypass TLS in the default panic handler
so that no segfault is generated and the stack trace is correctly
reported back to the user.
Note that, this is linked directly to a bigger issue with LLD
ziglang/zig#7527 and when resolved, we only need to remove the
`comptime` code path introduced with this patch to use the default
panic handler that relies on TLS.

string literals and error set types were allocating the ty/val fields of
the anonymous Decl into the owner Decl's arena, rather than the
new anonymous Decl's arena as intended. This caused use of undefined
value later on in the pipeline.
Previously you had to recompile if you wanted to change the log scopes
that get printed. Now, log scopes can be set at runtime, and -Dlog
controls whether all logging is available at runtime.
Purpose here is a nicer development experience. Most likely stage2
developers will always want -Dlog enabled and then pass --debug-log
scopes when debugging particular issues.
