* std.cache_hash exposes Hasher type
* std.cache_hash makes hasher_init a global const
* std.cache_hash supports cloning so that clones can share the same
open manifest dir handle as well as fork from shared hasher state
* start to populate the cache_hash for stage2 builds
* remove a footgun from std.cache_hash add function
* get rid of std.Target.ObjectFormat.unknown
* rework stage2 logic for resolving output artifact names by adding
object_format as an optional parameter to std.zig.binNameAlloc
* support -Denable-llvm in stage2 tests
* Module supports the use case when there are no .zig files
* introduce c_object_table and failed_c_objects to Module
* propagate many new kinds of data from CLI into Module and into
linker.Options
* introduce -fLLVM, -fLLD, -fClang and their -fno- counterparts.
closes#6251.
- add logic for choosing when to use LLD or zig's self-hosted linker
* stub code for implementing invoking Clang to build C objects
* add -femit-h, -femit-h=foo, and -fno-emit-h CLI options
Added std.coff.MachineType
Added image characteristic and section flag valued to std.coff
Added std.Target.Cpu.Arch.toCoffMachine
Fixed stage2 --watch flag on windows
* Move branch-local register and stack allocation metadata to the
function-local struct. Conditional branches clone this data in order
to restore it after generating machine code for a branch.
Branch-local data is now only the instruction table mapping *ir.Inst
to MCValue.
* Implement conditional branching
- Process operand deaths
- Handle register and stack allocation metadata
* Avoid storing unreferenced or void typed instructions into
the branch-local instruction table.
* Fix integer types reporting the wrong value for hasCodeGenBits.
* Remove the codegen optimization for eliding length-0 jumps. I need to
reexamine how this works because it was causing invalid jumps to be
emitted.
* move SPU code from std to self hosted compiler
* change std lib comments to be descriptive rather than prescriptive
* avoid usingnamespace
* fix case style of error codes
* remove duplication of producer_string
* generalize handling of less than 64 bit arch pointers
* clean up SPU II related test harness code
See #6113 for an alternate way of doing this that we didn't end up
following.
Closes#6079.
I also took the opportunity here to extract C.zig and Elf.zig from
link.zig.
