This patch introduces the following new things:
Types:
- inferred_alloc
- This is a special value that tracks a set of types that have been stored
to an inferred allocation. It does not support most of the normal type queries.
However it does respond to `isConstPtr`, `ptrSize`, `zigTypeTag`, etc.
- The payload for this type simply points to the corresponding Value
payload.
Values:
- inferred_alloc
- This is a special value that tracks a set of types that have been stored
to an inferred allocation. It does not support any of the normal value queries.
ZIR instructions:
- store_to_inferred_ptr,
- Same as `store` but the type of the value being stored will be used to infer
the pointer type.
- resolve_inferred_alloc
- Each `store_to_inferred_ptr` puts the type of the stored value into a set,
and then `resolve_inferred_alloc` triggers peer type resolution on the set.
The operand is a `alloc_inferred` or `alloc_inferred_mut` instruction, which
is the allocation that needs to have its type inferred.
Changes to the C backend:
* Implements the bitcast instruction. If the source and dest types
are both pointers, uses a cast, otherwise uses memcpy.
* Tests are run with -Wno-declaration-after-statement. Someday we can
conform to this but not today.
In ZIR form it looks like this:
```zir
fn_body main { // unanalyzed
%0 = dbg_stmt()
=>%1 = alloc_inferred()
%2 = declval_in_module(Decl(add))
%3 = deref(%2)
%4 = param_type(%3, 0)
%5 = const(TypedValue{ .ty = comptime_int, .val = 1})
%6 = as(%4, %5)
%7 = param_type(%3, 1)
%8 = const(TypedValue{ .ty = comptime_int, .val = 2})
%9 = as(%7, %8)
%10 = call(%3, [%6, %9], modifier=auto)
=>%11 = store_to_inferred_ptr(%1, %10)
=>%12 = resolve_inferred_alloc(%1)
%13 = dbg_stmt()
%14 = ret_type()
%15 = const(TypedValue{ .ty = comptime_int, .val = 3})
%16 = sub(%10, %15)
%17 = as(%14, %16)
%18 = return(%17)
} // fn_body main
```
I have not played around with very many test cases yet. Some interesting
ones that I want to look at before merging:
```zig
var x = blk: {
var y = foo();
y.a = 1;
break :blk y;
};
```
In the above test case, x and y are supposed to alias.
```zig
var x = if (bar()) blk: {
var y = foo();
y.a = 1;
break :blk y;
} else blk: {
var z = baz();
z.b = 1;
break :blk z;
};
```
In the above test case, x, y, and z are supposed to alias.
I also haven't tested with `var` instead of `const` yet.
* Module: improve doc comments
* C backend: improve const-correctness
* C backend: introduce renderTypeAndName
* C backend: put `static` on functions when appropriate
* C backend: fix not handling errors in genBinOp
* C backend: handle more IR instructions
- alloc, store, boolean comparisons, ret_ptr
* C backend: call instruction properly stores its result
* test harness: ensure execution tests have empty stderr
The addition of `addDeclErr` introduced a memory leak at every call
site, and I also would like to push back on having more than 1
compilation error per `Decl`.
This reverts commit 1634d45f1d53c8d7bfefa56ab4d2fa4cc8218b6d.
* stage2: add @TypeOf
* stage2: discriminate on what type of @builtinCall in nodeMayNeedMemoryLocation
* merge upstream into my stash
* add type equality to make easier to test and defer free the types
* remove addDeclErr, I dont know why I added it, its from a different branch that im working on
* add tests
* update error message to match stage1
* use ComptimeStringMap and update which nodes don't need memory from vexu's suggestions
* fix typo

* make @TypeOf(single_arg) go to .typeof zir inst and add test for that
* unioninit, as, reduce change mayneedmemorylocation

Use case:
zig build-exe non_existent_file.zig
Previous behavior:
error.FileNotFound, followed by an error return trace
Behavior after this commit:
error: unable to read non_existent_file.zig: FileNotFound
(end of stderr, exit code 1)
This turns AllErrors.Message into a tagged union which now has the
capability to represent both "plain" errors as well as source-based
errors (with file, line, column, byte offset). The "no entry point found"
error has moved to be a plain error message.
* std.Target.standardDynamicLinkerPath: macOS has a dynamic linker
* no need to override the default dynamic linker in the macos
CrossTarget initialization in the tests
* in getExternalExecutor, when validating the dynamic linker path, take
into account the standard dynamic linker path.
This commit enables stage2 end-to-end tests to run natively on macOS
(where and when applicable). Since QEMU on macOS doesn't support
the same type of architecture emulation as it does on linux (i.e.,
there is no `qemu-x86_64` for instance), this commit ensures that we
specify a path to dynamic linker on macOS (`/usr/lib/dyld`) which
is then checked for existence in `std.CrossTarget.getExternalExecutor()`
function, and if exists, we can run the test natively.

* update to the new cache hash API
* std.Target defaultVersionRange moves to std.Target.Os.Tag
* std.Target.Os gains getVersionRange which returns a tagged union
* start the process of splitting Module into Compilation and "zig
module".
- The parts of Module having to do with only compiling zig code are
extracted into ZigModule.zig.
- Next step is to rename Module to Compilation.
- After that rename ZigModule back to Module.
* implement proper cache hash usage when compiling C objects, and
properly manage the file lock of the build artifacts.
* make versions optional to match recent changes to master branch.
* proper cache hash integration for compiling zig code
* proper cache hash integration for linking even when not compiling zig
code.
* ELF LLD linking integrates with the caching system. A comment from
the source code:
Here we want to determine whether we can save time by not invoking LLD when the
output is unchanged. None of the linker options or the object files that are being
linked are in the hash that namespaces the directory we are outputting to. Therefore,
we must hash those now, and the resulting digest will form the "id" of the linking
job we are about to perform.
After a successful link, we store the id in the metadata of a symlink named "id.txt" in
the artifact directory. So, now, we check if this symlink exists, and if it matches
our digest. If so, we can skip linking. Otherwise, we proceed with invoking LLD.
* implement disable_c_depfile option
* add tracy to a few more functions
* improve the ZIR generated of variable decls
- utilize the same ZIR for the type and init value when possible
- init value gets a result location with the variable type.
no manual coercion is required.
* no longer use return instructions to extract values out of comptime
blocks. Instead run the analysis and then look at the corresponding
analyzed instruction, relying on the comptime mechanism to report
errors when something could not be comptime evaluated.
