Previously, the compiler had special logic to determine whether to
include the startup code, which was in `std/special/start.zig`. Now,
the file is moved to `std/start.zig`, and there is no special logic
in the compiler. Instead, the standard library unconditionally imports
the `start.zig` file, which then has a `comptime` block that does the
logic of determining what, if any, start symbols to export. Instead of
`start.zig` being in its own special package, it is just another normal
file that is part of the standard library.
`std.builtin.TestFn` is now part of the standard library rather than
specially generated by the compiler.
this also deletes C string literals from the language, and then makes
the std lib changes and compiler changes necessary to get the behavior
tests and std lib tests passing again.
This removes the remaining hack in the implementation of anonymous
struct literals, and they can now therefore now have greater than 16
fields/elements.
* All the data types from `@import("builtin")` are moved to
`@import("std").builtin`. The target-related types are moved
to `std.Target`. This allows the data types to have methods, such as
`std.Target.current.isDarwin()`.
* `std.os.windows.subsystem` is moved to
`std.Target.current.subsystem`.
* Remove the concept of the panic package from the compiler
implementation. Instead, `std.builtin.panic` is always the panic
function. It checks for `@hasDecl(@import("root"), "panic")`,
or else provides a default implementation.
This is an important step for multibuilds (#3028). Without this change,
the types inside the builtin namespace look like different types, when
trying to merge builds with different target settings. With this change,
Zig can figure out that, e.g., `std.builtin.Os` (the enum type) from one
compilation and `std.builtin.Os` from another compilation are the same
type, even if the target OS value differs.
- during diagnostics the string representation for root was empty
and now is `(root)`
- retrofitted all other namespace-qualified type naming to elide
prefixing with root

Previously if the type parameter was a pointer, it would assert that the
size of the type was resolved. It used to be that the size of pointers was
always resolved, however with lazy values, pointers gained the
possibility of not having their size resolved.
Now, type_allowed_in_extern triggers the resolution of whether a pointer
is zero bits, and returns a possible error if the resolution fails.
This fixes a compiler assertion when building the
[zootdeck project](https://github.com/donpdonp/zootdeck). I do not have
a test case reduction for the issue.
This breaks behavior tests as well as compile error notes for generic
function calls. However it introduces better circular dependency compile
errors.
The next step is to add Lazy Values to fix the regressions.
It used to be that usingnamespace was only allowed at top level. This
made it OK to put the state inside the AST node data structure. However,
now usingnamespace can occur inside any aggregate data structure, and
therefore the state must be in the TopLevelDeclaration rather than in
the AST node.
There were two other problems with the usingnamespace implementation:
* It was passing the wrong destination ScopeDecl, so it could cause an
incorrect error such as "import of file outside package path".
* When doing `usingnamespace` on a file that already had
`pub usingnamespace` in it would "steal" the usingnamespace, causing
incorrect "use of undeclared identifier" errors in the target file.
