This change implements the following syntax into the compiler:
```zig
const x: u32, var y, foo.bar = .{ 1, 2, 3 };
```
A destructure expression may only appear within a block (i.e. not at
comtainer scope). The LHS consists of a sequence of comma-separated var
decls and/or lvalue expressions. The RHS is a normal expression.
A new result location type, `destructure`, is used, which contains
result pointers for each component of the destructure. This means that
when the RHS is a more complicated expression, peer type resolution is
not used: each result value is individually destructured and written to
the result pointers. RLS is always used for destructure expressions,
meaning every `const` on the LHS of such an expression creates a true
stack allocation.
Aside from anonymous array literals, Sema is capable of destructuring
the following types:
* Tuples
* Arrays
* Vectors
A destructure may be prefixed with the `comptime` keyword, in which case
the entire destructure is evaluated at comptime: this means all `var`s
in the LHS are `comptime var`s, every lvalue expression is evaluated at
comptime, and the RHS is evaluated at comptime. If every LHS is a
`const`, this is not allowed: as with single declarations, the user
should instead mark the RHS as `comptime`.
There are a few subtleties in the grammar changes here. For one thing,
if every LHS is an lvalue expression (rather than a var decl), a
destructure is considered an expression. This makes, for instance,
`if (cond) x, y = .{ 1, 2 };` valid Zig code. A destructure is allowed
in almost every context where a standard assignment expression is
permitted. The exception is `switch` prongs, which cannot be
destructures as the comma is ambiguous with the end of the prong.
A follow-up commit will begin utilizing this syntax in the Zig compiler.
Resolves: #498
When RLS is used to initialize a value with a comptime-only type, the
usual "value with comptime-only type depends on runtime control flow"
error message isn't hit, because we don't use results from a block. When
we reach `make_ptr_const`, we must validate that the value is
comptime-known.
The `coerce_result_ptr` instruction is highly problematic and leads to
unintentional memory reinterpretation in some cases. It is more correct
to simply not forward result pointers through this builtin.
`coerce_result_ptr` is still used for struct and array initializations,
where it can still cause issues. Eliminating this usage will be a future
change.
Resolves: #16991
* Use 32-bit integers instead of pointers for compactness and
serialization friendliness.
* Use a separate hash map for runtime and comptime capture scopes,
avoiding the 1-bit union tag.
* Use a compact array representation instead of a tree of hash maps.
* Eliminate the only instance of ref-counting in the compiler, instead
relying on garbage collection (not implemented yet but is the plan for
almost all long-lived objects related to incremental compilation).
Because a code modification may need to access capture scope data, this
makes capture scope data long-lived state. My goal is to get incremental
compilation state serialization down to a single pwritev syscall, by
unifying the on-disk representation with the in-memory representation.
This commit eliminates the last remaining pointer field of
`Module.Decl`.
Instead of using actual slices for InternPool.Key.AnonStructType, this
commit changes to use Slice types instead, which store a
long-lived index rather than a pointer.
This is a follow-up to 7ef1eb1c27754cb0349fdc10db1f02ff2dddd99b.
