According to Apple docs, the long double type is a double precision
IEEE754 binary floating-point type, which makes it identical to the
double type. This behavior contrasts to the standard specification,
in which a long double is a quad-precision, IEEE754 binary,
floating-point type.
Thus, we need to take this into account when using the compiler
intrinsics so that we select the correct function version for
FloatMulAdd.
Previously, the data segments were being aligned twice.
This caused us to overalign the segment and therefore allocate a much larger
size for each segment than was required. This fix ensures we align and set the size
just once, ensuring semantically correct binaries as well as smaller binaries.
When linking with an object file, verify if a relocation is a table index relocation.
If that's the case, add the relocation target to the function table.
This fixes a memory leak when an object file contains one or more element sections which
then contains one or more function indexes. This commit ensures the slice of index functions
for each element section will be freed upon resource deallocation also.
* The `@bitCast` workaround is removed in favor of `@ptrCast` properly
doing element casting for slice element types. This required an
enhancement both to stage1 and stage2.
* stage1 incorrectly accepts `.{}` instead of `{}`. stage2 code that
abused this is fixed.
* Make some parameters comptime to support functions in switch
expressions (as opposed to making them function pointers).
* Avoid relying on local temporaries being mutable.
* Workarounds for when stage1 and stage2 disagree on function pointer
types.
* Workaround recursive formatting bug with a `@panic("TODO")`.
* Remove unreachable `else` prongs for some inferred error sets.
All in effort towards #89.
Without this, it may happen we write the globals without extending
the symtab section header's size. This can potentially lead to
clobbering some data in the file, or simply omitting the globals
from the symtab when displaying with support tooling such as `readelf`.
