Previously, std.debug.assert would `@panic` in test builds,
if the assertion failed. Now, it's always `unreachable`.
This makes release mode test builds more accurately test
the actual code that will be run.
However this requires tests to call `std.testing.expect`
rather than `std.debug.assert` to make sure output is correct.
Here is the explanation of when to use either one, copied from
the assert doc comments:
Inside a test block, it is best to use the `std.testing` module
rather than assert, because assert may not detect a test failure
in ReleaseFast and ReleaseSafe mode. Outside of a test block, assert
is the correct function to use.
closes#1304
This commit contains everything from the copy-elision-2
branch that does not have to do with copy elision directly,
but is generally useful for master branch.
* All const values know their parents, when applicable, not
just structs and unions.
* Null pointers in const values are represented explicitly,
rather than as a HardCodedAddr value of 0.
* Rename "maybe" to "optional" in various code locations.
* Separate DeclVarSrc and DeclVarGen
* Separate PtrCastSrc and PtrCastGen
* Separate CmpxchgSrc and CmpxchgGen
* Represent optional error set as an integer, using the 0 value.
In a const value, it uses nullptr.
* Introduce type_has_one_possible_value and use it where applicable.
* Fix debug builds not setting memory to 0xaa when storing
undefined.
* Separate the type of a variable from the const value of a variable.
* Use copy_const_val where appropriate.
* Rearrange structs to pack data more efficiently.
* Move test/cases/* to test/behavior/*
* Use `std.debug.assertOrPanic` in behavior tests instead of
`std.debug.assert`.
* Fix outdated slice syntax in docs.
When doing multible codegen passes (such as building
compiler_rt and then something else) the TypeInfo cache code would point
to types from the prev code gen (such as the prev 'bool' type), giving
us errors like "expected type 'bool', but found type 'bool'"
This disabling of caching might have a performance hit, but correctness is better than
speed, so let's have this for now, until someone optimizes this
correctly (probably in stage2)
* bitreverse - give bswap behavior
* bitreverse, comptime_ints, negative values still not working?
* bitreverse working for negative comptime ints
* Finished bitreverse test cases
* Undo exporting a bigint function. @bitreverse test name includes ampersand
* added docs entry for @bitreverse
* add `@bswap` builtin function. See #767
* comptime evaluation facilities are improved to be able to
handle a `@ptrCast` with a backing array.
* `@truncate` allows "truncating" a u0 value to any integer
type, and the result is always comptime known to be `0`.
* when specifying pointer alignment in a type expression,
the alignment value of pointers which do not have addresses
at runtime is ignored, and always has the default/ABI alignment
* threw in a fix to freebsd/x86_64.zig to update syntax from
language changes
* some improvements are pending #863closes#638closes#1733

* codegen: LLVMConstInlineAsm is deprecated.
* codegen: replace commas in asm constraint strings by pipes as required by LLVM.
* ir: enforce usage of '=' constraint modifier for inline assembly outputs.
Others are not currently supported and this was just asserted alter in `ir_render_asm`.
* asm: forbid comptime_int/floats as inputs in favor of explicitely sized constants.
Fixes a crash due to comptime_int/floats having no type_ref.
* asm: handle inputs with integers of <8 or non power of 2 bitsize.
We widen them to the next highest power of two.
