Now we get working global variable lookup in GDB! LLDB still re-mangles,
and it looks like we can't do much about that for now.
Also: translate non-owning type declarations into typedefs.
This will allow accessing non-local declarations from debuggers, which,
AFAICT, was impossible before.
Getting scopes right already works for type declarations and functions,
but will need some fiddling for variables:
For those, I tried imitating what Clang does for static member
variables, but LLDB tries to re-mangle those and then fails at lookup,
while GDB outright crashes. Hopefully I can find some other dwarven
incantation to do the right thing.
This allows the mutate mutex to only be locked during actual grows,
which are rare. For the lists that didn't previously have a mutex, this
change has little effect since grows are rare and there is zero
contention on a mutex that is only ever locked by one thread. This
change allows `extra` to be mutated without racing with a grow.
Primarily, this commit removes 2 fields from File, relying on the data
being stored in the `files` field, with the key as the path digest, and
the value as the struct decl corresponding to the File. This table is
serialized into the compiler state that survives between incremental
updates.
Meanwhile, the File struct remains ephemeral data that can be
reconstructed the first time it is needed by the compiler process, as
well as operated on by independent worker threads.
A key outcome of this commit is that there is now a stable index that
can be used to refer to a File. This will be needed when serializing
error messages to survive incremental compilation updates.
I'm so sorry.
This commit was just meant to be making all types fully resolve by
queueing resolution at the moment of their creation. Unfortunately, a
lot of dominoes ended up falling. Here's what happened:
* I added a work queue job to fully resolve a type.
* I realised that from here we could eliminate `Sema.types_to_resolve`
if we made function codegen a separate job. This is desirable for
simplicity of both spec and implementation.
* This led to a new AIR traversal to detect whether any required type is
unresolved. If a type in the AIR failed to resolve, then we can't run
codegen.
* Because full type resolution now occurs by the work queue job, a bug
was exposed whereby error messages for type resolution were associated
with the wrong `Decl`, resulting in duplicate error messages when the
type was also resolved "by" its owner `Decl` (which really *all*
resolution should be done on).
* A correct fix for this requires using a different `Sema` when
performing type resolution: we need a `Sema` owned by the type. Also
note that this fix is necessary for incremental compilation.
* This means a whole bunch of functions no longer need to take `Sema`s.
* First-order effects: `resolveTypeFields`, `resolveTypeLayout`, etc
* Second-order effects: `Type.abiAlignmentAdvanced`, `Value.orderAgainstZeroAdvanced`, etc
The end result of this is, in short, a more correct compiler and a
simpler language specification. This regressed a few error notes in the
test cases, but nothing that seems worth blocking this change.
Oh, also, I ripped out the old code in `test/src/Cases.zig` which
introduced a dependency on `Compilation`. This dependency was
problematic at best, and this code has been unused for a while. When we
re-enable incremental test cases, we must rewrite their executor to use
the compiler server protocol.
This change modifies `Zcu.ErrorMsg` to store a `Zcu.LazySrcLoc` rather
than a `Zcu.SrcLoc`. Everything else is dominoes.
The reason for this change is incremental compilation. If a failed
`AnalUnit` is up-to-date on an update, we want to re-use the old error
messages. However, the file containing the error location may have been
modified, and `SrcLoc` cannot survive such a modification. `LazySrcLoc`
is designed to be correct across incremental updates. Therefore, we
defer source location resolution until `Compilation` gathers the compile
errors into the `ErrorBundle`.
This change seeks to more appropriately model the way semantic analysis
works by drawing a more clear line between errors emitted by analyzing a
`Decl` (in future a `Cau`) and errors emitted by analyzing a runtime
function.
This does change a few compile errors surrounding compile logs by adding
more "also here" notes. The new notes are more technically correct, but
perhaps not so helpful. They're not doing enough harm for me to put
extensive thought into this for now.
This commit reworks our representation of exported Decls and values in
Zcu to be memory-optimized and trivially serialized.
All exports are now stored in the `all_exports` array on `Zcu`. An
`AnalUnit` which performs an export (either through an `export`
annotation or by containing an analyzed `@export`) gains an entry into
`single_exports` if it performs only one export, or `multi_exports` if
it performs multiple.
We no longer store a persistent mapping from a `Decl`/value to all
exports of that entity; this state is not necessary for the majority of
the pipeline. Instead, we construct it in `Zcu.processExports`, just
before flush. This does not affect the algorithmic complexity of
`processExports`, since this function already iterates all exports in
the `Zcu`.
The elimination of `decl_exports` and `value_exports` led to a few
non-trivial backend changes. The LLVM backend has been wrangled into a
more reasonable state in general regarding exports and externs. The C
backend is currently disabled in this commit, because its support for
`export` was quite broken, and that was exposed by this work -- I'm
hoping @jacobly0 will be able to pick this up!
This patch is a pure rename plus only changing the file path in
`@import` sites, so it is expected to not create version control
conflicts, even when rebasing.
`LazySrcLoc` now stores a reference to the "base AST node" to which it
is relative. The previous tagged union is `LazySrcLoc.Offset`. To make
working with this structure convenient, `Sema.Block` contains a
convenience `src` method which takes an `Offset` and returns a
`LazySrcLoc`.
The "base node" of a source location is no longer given by a `Decl`, but
rather a `TrackedInst` representing either a `declaration`,
`struct_decl`, `union_decl`, `enum_decl`, or `opaque_decl`. This is a
more appropriate model, and removes an unnecessary responsibility from
`Decl` in preparation for the upcoming refactor which will split it into
`Nav` and `Cau`.
As a part of these `Decl` reworks, the `src_node` field is eliminated.
This change aids incremental compilation, and simplifies `Decl`. In some
cases -- particularly in backends -- the source location of a
declaration is desired. This was previously `Decl.srcLoc` and worked for
any `Decl`. Now, it is `Decl.navSrcLoc` in reference to the upcoming
refactor, since the set of `Decl`s this works for precisely corresponds
to what will in future become a `Nav` -- that is, source-level
declarations and generic function instantiations, but *not* type owner
Decls.
This commit introduces more tags to `LazySrcLoc.Offset` so as to
eliminate the concept of `error.NeededSourceLocation`. Now, `.unneeded`
should only be used to assert that an error path is unreachable. In the
future, uses of `.unneeded` can probably be replaced with `undefined`.
The `src_decl` field of `Sema.Block` no longer has a role in type
resolution. Its main remaining purpose is to handle namespacing of type
names. It will be eliminated entirely in a future commit to remove
another undue responsibility from `Decl`.
It is worth noting that in future, the `Zcu.SrcLoc` type should probably
be eliminated entirely in favour of storing `Zcu.LazySrcLoc` values.
This is because `Zcu.SrcLoc` is not valid across incremental updates,
and we want to be able to reuse error messages from previous updates
even if the source file in question changed. The error reporting logic
should instead simply resolve the location from the `LazySrcLoc` on the
fly.
This is in preparation for some upcoming changes to how we represent
source locations in the compiler. The bulk of the change here is dealing
with the removal of `src()` methods from `Zir` types.
Deprecated aliases that are now compile errors:
- `std.fs.MAX_PATH_BYTES` (renamed to `std.fs.max_path_bytes`)
- `std.mem.tokenize` (split into `tokenizeAny`, `tokenizeSequence`, `tokenizeScalar`)
- `std.mem.split` (split into `splitSequence`, `splitAny`, `splitScalar`)
- `std.mem.splitBackwards` (split into `splitBackwardsSequence`, `splitBackwardsAny`, `splitBackwardsScalar`)
- `std.unicode`
+ `utf16leToUtf8Alloc`, `utf16leToUtf8AllocZ`, `utf16leToUtf8`, `fmtUtf16le` (all renamed to have capitalized `Le`)
+ `utf8ToUtf16LeWithNull` (renamed to `utf8ToUtf16LeAllocZ`)
- `std.zig.CrossTarget` (moved to `std.Target.Query`)
Deprecated `lib/std/std.zig` decls were deleted instead of made a `@compileError` because the `refAllDecls` in the test block would trigger the `@compileError`. The deleted top-level `std` namespaces are:
- `std.rand` (renamed to `std.Random`)
- `std.TailQueue` (renamed to `std.DoublyLinkedList`)
- `std.ChildProcess` (renamed/moved to `std.process.Child`)
This is not exhaustive. Deprecated aliases that I didn't touch:
+ `std.io.*`
+ `std.Build.*`
+ `std.builtin.Mode`
+ `std.zig.c_translation.CIntLiteralRadix`
+ anything in `src/`
The old vectorization helper (WipElementWise) was clunky and a bit
annoying to use, and it wasn't really flexible enough.
This introduces a new vectorization helper, which uses Temporary and
Operation types to deduce a Vectorization to perform the operation
in a reasonably efficient manner. It removes the outer loop
required by WipElementWise so that implementations of AIR instructions
are cleaner. This helps with sanity when we start to introduce support
for composite integers.
airShift, convertToDirect, convertToIndirect, and normalize are initially
implemented using this new method.
Previously the child type of a vector was always in indirect representation.
Concretely, this meant that vectors of bools are represented by vectors
of u8.
This was undesirable because it introduced a difference between vectorizable
operations with a scalar bool and a vector of bool. This commit changes the
representation to be the same for vectors and scalars everywhere.
Some issues arised with constructing vectors: it seems the previous temporary-
and-pointer approach does not work properly with vectors of bool. To work around
this, simply use OpCompositeConstruct. This is the proper instruction for this,
but it was previously not used because of a now-solved limitation in the
SPIRV-LLVM-Translator. It was not yet applied to Zig because the Intel OpenCL
CPU runtime does not have a recent enough version of the translator yet, but
to solve that we just switch to testing with POCL instead.
This reverts commit a7de02e05216db9a04e438703ddf1b6b12f3fbef.
This did not implement the accepted proposal, and I did not sign off
on the changes. I would like a chance to review this, please.
