Get rid of `std.math.F80Repr`. Instead of trying to match the memory
layout of f80, we treat it as a value, same as the other floating point
types. The functions `make_f80` and `break_f80` are introduced to
compose an f80 value out of its parts, and the inverse operation.
stage2 LLVM backend: fix pointer to zero length array tripping LLVM
assertion. It now checks for when the element type is a zero-bit type
and lowers such thing the same way that pointers to other zero-bit types
are lowered.
Both stage1 and stage2 LLVM backends are adjusted so that f80 is lowered
as x86_fp80 on x86_64 and i386 architectures, and identical to a u80 on
others. LLVM constants are lowered in a less hacky way now that #10860
is fixed, by using the expression `(exp << 64) | fraction` using llvm
constants.
Sema is improved to handle c_longdouble by recursively handling it
correctly for whatever the float bit width is. In both stage1 and
stage2.
* F80Repr extern struct needs no explicit padding; let's match the
target padding.
* stage2: fix lowering of f80 constants.
* stage1: decide ABI size and alignment of f80 based on alignment of
u64. x86 has alignof u64 equal to 4 but arm has it as 8.
* stage2: fix Value.floatReadFromMemory to use F80Repr
replaceAllUsesWith requires the type to be unchanged. So we bitcast
the new global to the old type and use that as the thing to replace
old uses.
Fixes an LLVM assertion found while troubleshooting #10837.
LLVM union globals have to be lowered as unnamed structs if the
non-most-aligned field is the active tag. In this case it bubbles up so
that structs containing unions have the same restriction.
This fix needs to be applied to optionals and other callsites of
createNamedStruct.
The bug fixed in this commit was revealed in searching for
the cause of #10837.
Support for f128, comptime_float, and c_longdouble require improvements
to compiler_rt and will implemented in a later PR. Some of the code in
this commit could be made more generic, for instance `llvm.airSqrt`
could probably be `llvm.airUnaryMath`, but let's cross that
bridge when we get to it.
`ExternFn` will contain a maybe-lib-name if it was defined with
the `extern` keyword like so
```zig
extern "c" fn write(usize, usize, usize) usize;
```
`lib_name` will live as long as `ExternFn` decl does.
AstGen:
* rename the known_has_bits flag to known_non_opv to make it better
reflect what it actually means.
* add a known_comptime_only flag.
* make the flags take advantage of identifiers of primitives and the
fact that zig has no shadowing.
* correct the known_non_opv flag for function bodies.
Sema:
* Rename `hasCodeGenBits` to `hasRuntimeBits` to better reflect what it
does.
- This function got a bit more complicated in this commit because of
the duality of function bodies: on one hand they have runtime bits,
but on the other hand they require being comptime known.
* WipAnonDecl now takes a LazySrcDecl parameter and performs the type
resolutions that it needs during finish().
* Implement comptime `@ptrToInt`.
Codegen:
* Improved handling of lowering decl_ref; make it work for
comptime-known ptr-to-int values.
- This same change had to be made many different times; perhaps we
should look into merging the implementations of `genTypedValue`
across x86, arm, aarch64, and riscv.
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.
* AIR instruction vector_init gains the ability to init arrays and
tuples in addition to vectors. This will probably also gain the
ability to initialize structs and be renamed to `aggregate_init`.
* AstGen prefers to use an `anon_array_init` ZIR instruction for
local variables when the init expr is an array literal and there is
no type.
This reverts commit d48e4245b68bf25c7f41804a5012ac157a5ee546.
I have no idea why this is failing Drone CI, but in a branch, reverting
this commit solved the problem.
It is the job of codegen backends to mark Decls that are referenced as
alive so that the frontend does not sweep them with the garbage. This
commit unifies the code between the backends with an added method on
Decl.
The implementation is more complete than before, switching on the Decl
val tag and recursing into sub-values.
As a result, two more array tests are passing.
AIR:
* `array_elem_val` is now allowed to be used with a vector as the array
type.
* New instructions: splat, vector_init
AstGen:
* The splat ZIR instruction uses coerced_ty for the ResultLoc, avoiding
an unnecessary `as` instruction, since the coercion will be performed
in Sema.
* Builtins that accept vectors now ignore the type parameter. Comment
from this commit reproduced here:
The accepted proposal #6835 tells us to remove the type parameter from
these builtins. To stay source-compatible with stage1, we still observe
the parameter here, but we do not encode it into the ZIR. To implement
this proposal in stage2, only AstGen code will need to be changed.
Sema:
* `clz` and `ctz` ZIR instructions are now handled by the same function
which accept AIR tag and comptime eval function pointer to
differentiate.
* `@typeInfo` for vectors is implemented.
* `@splat` is implemented. It takes advantage of `Value.Tag.repeated` 😎
* `elemValue` is implemented for vectors, when the index is a scalar.
Handling a vector index is still TODO.
* Element-wise coercion is implemented for vectors. It could probably
be optimized a bit, but it is at least complete & correct.
* `Type.intInfo` supports vectors, returning int info for the element.
* `Value.ctz` initial implementation. Needs work.
* `Value.eql` is implemented for arrays and vectors.
LLVM backend:
* Implement vector support when lowering `array_elem_val`.
* Implement vector support when lowering `ctz` and `clz`.
* Implement `splat` and `vector_init`.
It is possible for Zig to emit field ptr instructions to fields whos
type is zero sized. In this case llvm should return a pointer which
points to the next none zero sized parameter.
const locals now detect if the value ends up being comptime known. In
such case, it replaces the runtime AIR instructions with a decl_ref
const.
In the backends, some more sophisticated logic for marking decls as
alive was needed to prevent Decls incorrectly being garbage collected
that were indirectly referenced in such manner.
This commit fixes two problems:
* `zig build-obj` regressed from the cache-mode branch. It would crash
because it assumed that dirname on the emit bin path would not be
null. This assumption was invalid when outputting to the current
working directory - a pretty common use case for `zig build-obj`.
* When using the LLVM backend, `-fno-emit-bin` combined with any other
kind of emitting, such as `-femit-asm`, emitted nothing.
Both issues are now fixed.
Doc comments reproduced here:
This function is called by the frontend before flush(). It communicates that
`options.bin_file.emit` directory needs to be renamed from
`[zig-cache]/tmp/[random]` to `[zig-cache]/o/[digest]`.
The frontend would like to simply perform a file system rename, however,
some linker backends care about the file paths of the objects they are linking.
So this function call tells linker backends to rename the paths of object files
to observe the new directory path.
Linker backends which do not have this requirement can fall back to the simple
implementation at the bottom of this function.
This function is only called when CacheMode is `whole`.
This solves stack trace regressions on Windows and macOS because the
linker backends do not observe object file paths until flush().
Comment from this commit reproduced here:
LLVM does not allow us to change the type of globals. So we must
create a new global with the correct type, copy all its attributes,
and then update all references to point to the new global,
delete the original, and rename the new one to the old one's name.
This is necessary because LLVM does not support const bitcasting
a struct with padding bytes, which is needed to lower a const union value
to LLVM, when a field other than the most-aligned is active. Instead,
we must lower to an unnamed struct, and pointer cast at usage sites
of the global. Such an unnamed struct is the cause of the global type
mismatch, because we don't have the LLVM type until the *value* is created,
whereas the global needs to be created based on the type alone, because
lowering the value may reference the global as a pointer.
Introduced a new AIR instruction: `tag_name`. Reasons to do this
instead of lowering it in Sema to a switch, function call, array
lookup, or if-else tower:
* Sema is a bottleneck; do less work in Sema whenever possible.
* If any optimization passes run, and the operand to becomes
comptime-known, then it could change to have a comptime result
value instead of lowering to a function or array or something which
would then have to be garbage-collected.
* Backends may want to choose to use a function and a switch branch,
or they may want to use a different strategy.
Codegen for `@tagName` is implemented for the LLVM backend but not any
others yet.
Introduced some new `Type` tags:
* `const_slice_u8_sentinel_0`
* `manyptr_const_u8_sentinel_0`
The motivation for this was to make typeof() on the tag_name AIR
instruction non-allocating.
A bunch more enum tests are passing now.
Layout algorithm: all `align(0)` fields are squished together as if they
were a single integer with a number of bits equal to `@bitSizeOf` each
field added together. Then the natural ABI alignment of that integer is
used for that pseudo-field.
* Extract common logic between `zirStructInitEmpty` and
`zirStructInit`.
* `resolveTypeFields` additionally sets status to `have_layout` if the
total number of fields is 0.
While this is technically incorrect, proper handling of anyopaque, as well
as regular opaque, is probably best left until pointers to zero-sized types
having no bits is abolished.
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.
The target abi can also be set in build.zig via LibExeObjStep.target_abi
The value passed in is checked that it is a valid value in
std.Target.TargetAbi
The target abi is also validated against the target cpu
Previously, when a coercion needed to be inserted into a break
instruction, the `br` AIR instruction would be rewritten so that the
block operand was a sub-block that did the coercion. The problem is that
the sub-block itself was never added to the parent block, resulting in
the `br` instruction operand being a bad reference.
Now, the `br` AIR instruction that needs to have coercion instructions
added is replaced with the sub-block itself with type `noreturn`, and
then the sub-block has the coercion instructions and a new `br`
instruction that breaks from the original block.
LLVM backend needed to be fixed to lower `noreturn` blocks without
emitting an unused LLVM basic block.
* Introduce a mechanism into Sema for emitting a compile error when an
integer is too big and we need it to fit into a usize.
* Add `@intCast` where necessary
* link/MachO: fix an unnecessary allocation when all that was happening
was appending zeroes to an ArrayList.
* Add `error.Overflow` as a possible error to some codepaths, allowing
usage of `math.intCast`.
closes#9710
New AIR instruction: `optional_payload_ptr_set`
It's like `optional_payload_ptr` except it sets the non-null bit.
When storing to the payload via a result location that is an optional,
`optional_payload_ptr_set` is now emitted. There is a new algorithm in
`zirCoerceResultPtr` which stores a dummy value through the result
pointer into a temporary block, and then pops off the AIR instructions
from the temporary block in order to determine how to transform the
result location pointer in case any in-between coercions need to happen.
Fixes a couple of behavior tests regarding optionals.
Because ArrayList.initCapacity uses 'precise' capacity allocation, this should save memory on average, and definitely will save memory in cases where ArrayList is used where a regular allocated slice could have also be used.
