`Decl` can no longer store un-interned values, so this field is now
unnecessary. The type can instead be fetched with the new `typeOf`
helper method, which just gets the type of the Decl's `Value`.
This issue was causing debug information to sometimes not function
correctly for some local variables, with debuggers simply reporting that
the variable does not exist. What was happening was that after an AIR
body - and thus debug lexical scope - begins, but before any `dbg_stmt`
within it, the `scope` on `self.wip.debug_location` refers to the parent
scope, but the `scope` field on the `DILocalVariable` metadata passed to
`@llvm.dbg.declare` points, correctly, to the nested scope. I haven't
looked into precisely what happens here, but in short, it would appear
that LLVM Doesn't Like It (tm).
The fix is simple: when we change `self.scope` at the start or end of an
AIR body, also modify the scope on `self.wip.debug_location`. This is
correct as we always want the debug info for an instruction to be
associated with the block it is within, even if the line/column are
slightly outdated for any reason.
This commit changes how we represent comptime-mutable memory
(`comptime var`) in the compiler in order to implement the intended
behavior that references to such memory can only exist at comptime.
It does *not* clean up the representation of mutable values, improve the
representation of comptime-known pointers, or fix the many bugs in the
comptime pointer access code. These will be future enhancements.
Comptime memory lives for the duration of a single Sema, and is not
permitted to escape that one analysis, either by becoming runtime-known
or by becoming comptime-known to other analyses. These restrictions mean
that we can represent comptime allocations not via Decl, but with state
local to Sema - specifically, the new `Sema.comptime_allocs` field. All
comptime-mutable allocations, as well as any comptime-known const allocs
containing references to such memory, live in here. This allows for
relatively fast checking of whether a value references any
comptime-mtuable memory, since we need only traverse values up to
pointers: pointers to Decls can never reference comptime-mutable memory,
and pointers into `Sema.comptime_allocs` always do.
This change exposed some faulty pointer access logic in `Value.zig`.
I've fixed the important cases, but there are some TODOs I've put in
which are definitely possible to hit with sufficiently esoteric code. I
plan to resolve these by auditing all direct accesses to pointers (most
of them ought to use Sema to perform the pointer access!), but for now
this is sufficient for all realistic code and to get tests passing.
This change eliminates `Zcu.tmp_hack_arena`, instead using the Sema
arena for comptime memory mutations, which is possible since comptime
memory is now local to the current Sema.
This change should allow `Decl` to store only an `InternPool.Index`
rather than a full-blown `ty: Type, val: Value`. This commit does not
perform this refactor.
This fixes an issue with boostrapping the compiler using MSVC. There is a CircularBuffer with
an array of length 65536 initialized to undefined, and because the undefined path of `renderValue`
was using `StringLiteral` to render this, the resulting zig2.c would fail to compile using MSVC.
The solution was to move the already-existing array initializer path (used in the non-undefined path)
into StringLiteral, and make StringLiteral aware of the total length so it could decide between which
style of initialization to use. We prefer to use string literals if we can, as this results in the least
amount of emitted C source.
A pointer type already has an alignment, so this information does not
need to be duplicated on the function type. This already has precedence
with addrspace which is already disallowed on function types for this
reason. Also fixes `@TypeOf(&func)` to have the correct addrspace and
alignment.
This implements the accepted proposal #18816. Namespace-owning types
(struct, enum, union, opaque) are no longer unique whenever analysed;
instead, their identity is determined based on their AST node and the
set of values they capture.
Reified types (`@Type`) are deduplicated based on the structure of the
type created. For instance, if two structs are created by the same
reification with identical fields, layout, etc, they will be the same
type.
This commit does not produce a working compiler; the next commit, adding
captures for decl references, is necessary. It felt appropriate to split
this up.
Resolves: #18816
Namespace types (`struct`, `enum`, `union`, `opaque`) do not use
structural equality - equivalence is based on their Decl index (and soon
will change to AST node + captures). However, we previously stored all
other information in the corresponding `InternPool.Key` anyway. For
logical consistency, it makes sense to have the key only be the true key
(that is, the Decl index) and to load all other data through another
function. This introduces those functions, by the name of
`loadStructType` etc. It's a big diff, but most of it is no-brainer
changes.
In future, it might be nice to eliminate a bunch of the loaded state in
favour of accessor functions on the `LoadedXyzType` types (like how we
have `LoadedUnionType.size()`), but that can be explored at a later
date.
Since we now elide more ZIR blocks in AstGen, care must be taken in
codegen to introduce lexical scopes for every body, not just `block`s.
Also, elide a few unnecessary AIR blocks in Sema.
This commit eliminates the `dbg_block_{begin,end}` instructions from
both ZIR and AIR. Instead, lexical scoping of `dbg_var_{ptr,val}`
instructions is decided based on the AIR block they exist within. This
is a much more robust system, and also results in a huge drop in ZIR
bytes - around 7% for Sema.zig.
This required some enhancements to Sema to prevent elision of blocks
when they are required for debug variable scoping. This can be observed
by looking at the AIR for the following simple test program with and
without `-fstrip`:
```zig
export fn f() void {
{
var a: u32 = 0;
_ = &a;
}
{
var a: u32 = 0;
_ = &a;
}
}
```
When `-fstrip` is passed, no AIR blocks are generated. When `-fno-strip`
is passed, the ZIR blocks are lowered to true AIR blocks to give correct
lexical scoping to the debug vars.
The changes here incidentally reolve #19060. A corresponding behavior
test has been added.
Resolves: #19060
* make test names contain the fully qualified name
* make test filters match the fully qualified name
* allow multiple test filters, where a test is skipped if it does not
match any of the specified filters
