Use `@` syntax to escape `_` when used as an identifier.
Remove the stage1 astgen prohibition against assigning from `_`
Note: there a few stage1 bugs preventing `_` from being used as an identifier
for a local variable or function parameter; these will be fixed by stage2.
They are unlikely to arise in real C code since identifiers starting with
underscore are reserved for the implementation.

The PR predated the introduction of unused variable/constant checks,
thus the build checks weren't reporting this failure until later when
merged into master.
* less branching by passing parameters in the main op code switch.
* properly pass the target when asking the type system for int info.
* handle u8, i16, etc when it is represented using
int_unsigned/int_signed tag.
* compile error instead of assertion failure for unimplemented cases
(greater than 64 bits integer).
* control flow cleanups
* zig.h: expand macros into inline functions
* reduce the complexity of the test case by making it one test case
that calls multiple functions. Also fix the problem of c_int max
value mismatch between host and target.
* Inferred error sets are stored in the return Type of the function,
owned by the Module.Fn. So it cleans up that memory in deinit().
* Sema: update the inferred error set in zirRetErrValue
- Update relevant code in wrapErrorUnion
* C backend: improve some some instructions to take advantage of
liveness analysis to avoid being emitted when unused.
* C backend: when an error union has a payload type with no runtime
bits, emit the error union as the same type as the error set.
* implement enough of ret_err_value to pass wasm tests
* only do the proper `@panic` implementation for the backends which
support it, which is currently only the C backend. The other backends
will see `@breakpoint(); unreachable;` same as before.
- I plan to do AIR memory layout reworking as a prerequisite to
fixing other backends, because that will help me put all the
constants up front, which will allow the codegen to lower to memory
without jumps.
* `@panic` is implemented using anon decls for the message. Makes it
easier on the backends. Might want to look into re-using decls for
this in the future.
* implement DWARF .debug_info for pointer-like optionals.
* ZIR: add two instructions:
- ret_err_value_code
- ret_err_value
* AstGen: add countDefers and utilize it to emit more efficient ZIR for
return expressions in the presence of defers.
* AstGen: implement |err| payloads for `errdefer` syntax.
- There is not an "unused capture" error for it yet.
* AstGen: `return error.Foo` syntax gets a hot path in return
expressions, using the new ZIR instructions. This also is part of
implementing inferred error sets, since we need to tell Sema to add
an error value to the inferred error set before it gets coerced.
* Sema: implement `@setCold`.
- Implement `@setCold` support for C backend.
* `@panic` and regular safety panics such as `unreachable` now properly
invoke `std.builtin.panic`.
* C backend: improve pointer and function value rendering.
* C linker: fix redundant typedefs.
* Add Type.error_set_inferred.
* Fix Value.format for enum_literal, enum_field_index, bytes.
* Remove the C backend test that checks for identical text
I measured a 14% reduction in Total ZIR Bytes from master branch
for std/os.zig.
It now displays the byte with proper printability handling. This makes
the relevant compile error test case no longer a regression in quality
from stage1 to stage2.
* Implement "initializing array with struct syntax"
* Implement "'_' used as an identifier without @\"_\" syntax"
* Fix source location of "missing parameter name"
* Update test cases where appropriate
In order to not regress the quality of compile errors, some improvements
had to be made.
* std.zig.parseCharLiteral is improved to return more detailed parse
failure information.
* tokenizer is improved to handle null bytes in the middle of strings,
character literals, and line comments.
* validating how many unicode escape digits in string literals is moved
to std.zig.parseStringLiteral rather than handled in the tokenizer.
* when a tokenizer error occurs, if the reported token is the 'invalid'
tag, an error note is added to point to the invalid byte location.
Further improvements would be:
- Mention the expected set of allowed bytes at this location.
- Display the invalid byte (if printable, print it, otherwise
escape-print it).
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
When a local variable has an initialization expression of type
'noreturn', emit a compile error. This brings this branch closer
to parity with master branch.
* AstGen: implement "unreachable code" error for blocks. This works at
the statement level.
* stage1: remove the "unreachable code" error implementation, which
means removing the `is_gen` field from IrInstSrc. This is one small
step towards a smaller memory footprint for stage1. The benefits
won't be realized until a future commit because this flag took
advantage of padding.
There may be a regression here with "union has no associated enum"
error, and there is a regression with the following code:
```zig
const a = noreturn;
```
A future commit will address these regressions.
Translate enum types as the underlying integer type. Translate enum constants
as top-level integer constants of the correct type (which does not necessarily
match the enum integer type).
If an enum constant's type cannot be translated for some reason, omit it.
