which is the index of the key that already exists in the hash map.
This enables the use case of using `AutoArrayHashMap(void, void)` which
may seem surprising at first, but is actually pretty handy!
This commit includes a proof-of-concept of how I want to use it, with a
new InternArena abstraction for stage2 that provides a compact way to
store values (and types) in an "internment arena", thus making types
stored exactly once (per arena), representable with a single u32 as a
reference to a type within an InternArena, and comparable with a
simple u32 integer comparison. If both types are in the same
InternArena, you can check if they are equal by seeing if their index is
the same.
What's neat about `AutoArrayHashMap(void, void)` is that it allows us to
look up the indexes by key, *without actually storing the keys*.
Instead, keys are treated as ephemeral values that are constructed as
needed.
As a result, we have an extremely efficient encoding of types and
values, represented only by three arrays, which has no pointers, and can
therefore be serialized and deserialized by a single writev/readv call.
The `map` field is denormalized data and can be computed from the other
two fields.
This is in contrast to our current Type/Value system which makes
extensive use of pointers.
The test at the bottom of InternArena.zig passes in this commit.
I hit the "quotes in an RSP file" issue when trying to compile gRPC using
"zig cc". As a fun exercise, I decided to see if I could fix it myself.
I'm fully open to this code being flat-out rejected. Or I can take feedback
to fix it up.
This modifies (and renames) _ArgIteratorWindows_ in process.zig such that
it works with arbitrary strings (or the contents of an RSP file).
In main.zig, this new _ArgIteratorGeneral_ is used to address the "TODO"
listed in _ClangArgIterator_.
This change closes#4833.
**Pros:**
- It has the nice attribute of handling "RSP file" arguments in the same way it
handles "cmd_line" arguments.
- High Performance, minimal allocations
- Fixed bug in previous _ArgIteratorWindows_, where final trailing backslashes
in a command line were entirely dropped
- Added a test case for the above bug
- Harmonized the _ArgIteratorXxxx._initWithAllocator()_ and _next()_ interface
across Windows/Posix/Wasi (Moved Windows errors to _initWithAllocator()_
rather than _next()_)
- Likely perf benefit on Windows by doing _utf16leToUtf8AllocZ()_ only once
for the entire cmd_line
**Cons:**
- Breaking Change in std library on Windows: Call
_ArgIterator.initWithAllocator()_ instead of _ArgIterator.init()_
- PhaseMage is new with contributions to Zig, might need a lot of hand-holding
- PhaseMage is a Windows person, non-Windows stuff will need to be double-checked
**Testing Done:**
- Wrote a few new test cases in process.zig
- zig.exe build test -Dskip-release (no new failures seen)
- zig cc now builds gRPC without error
The buffer `buf` contains N (= `slice_sizes.len`) slices followed by the
N null-terminated arguments. The N null-terminated arguments are stored
in the `contents` array list. Thus, `buf` size should be:
@sizeOf([]u8) * slice_sizes.len + contents_slice.len
Instead of:
@sizeOf([]u8) * slice_sizes.len + contents_slice.len + slice_sizes.len
This bug was found thanks to the gpa allocator which checks if freed
size matches allocated sizes for large allocations.
I found that after switching from my custom Guid parser to the one in std that it increased zigwin32 build times substantially (from 40 seconds to over 10 minutes). More information can be found in the benchmark PR I created here: https://github.com/ziglang/gotta-go-fast/pull/21 . This PR ports my GUID parser to std so all projects can leverage the faster comptime performance.
This commit fixes an out of bounds write that can occur when
formatting certain float values. The write messes up the stack and
causes incorrect results, segfaults, or nothing at all, depending on the
optimization mode used.
The `errol` function writes the digits of the float into `buffer`
starting from index 1, leaving index 0 untouched, and returns `buffer[1..]`
and the exponent. This is because `roundToPrecision` relies on index 0 being
unused in case the rounding adds a digit (e.g rounding 999.99
to 1000.00). When this happens, pointer arithmetic is used
[here](0e6d2184ca/lib/std/fmt/errol.zig (L61-L65))
to access index 0 and put the ones digit in the right place.
However, `errol3u` contains two special cases: `errolInt` and `errolFixed`,
which return from the function early. For these two special cases
index 0 was never reserved, and the return value contains `buffer`
instead of `buffer[1..]`. This causes the pointer arithmetic in
`roundToPrecision` to write out of bounds, which in the case of
`std.fmt.formatFloatDecimal` messes up the stack and causes undefined behavior.
The fix is to move the slicing of `buffer` to `buffer[1..]` from `errol3u`
to `errol` so that both the default and the special cases operate on the sliced
buffer.
This fixes the use of multiple `Iterator`s in a row on a directory.
Previously, on many platforms, using an `Iterator` on an
already-iterated directory would give no entries.
Fixing this involved seeking to the beginning of the directory on the
first call of `next()`.
`ArrayList.ensureTotalCapacityPrecise` uses `Allocator.reallocAtLeast` under
the hood, which can return more than `new_capacity` bytes if `alignment
!= @alignOf(T)`. This implementation of `clone` assures that
the case of `ensureTotalCapacityPrecise` is handled correctly.
Thanks @Vexu and @squeek502 for pointing this out.
Before this commit, compiling an empty main with Stage 2 on macOS x86_64 results in
```
../stage2/bin/zig build-exe -ODebug -fLLVM empty_main.zig
error: sub-compilation of compiler_rt failed
[...]/zig/stage2/lib/zig/std/special/compiler_rt/os_version_check.zig:26:10: error: TODO: Sema.zirStructInit for runtime-known struct values
```
By assigning the value to a variable we can sidestep the issue for now.
This commit updates stage2 to enforce the property that the syntax
`fn()void` is a function *body* not a *pointer*. To get a pointer, the
syntax `*const fn()void` is required.
ZIR puts function alignment into the func instruction rather than the
decl because this way it makes it into function types. LLVM backend
respects function alignments.
Struct and Union have methods `fieldSrcLoc` to help look up source
locations of their fields. These trigger full loading, tokenization, and
parsing of source files, so should only be called once it is confirmed
that an error message needs to be printed.
There are some nice new error hints for explaining why a type is
required to be comptime, particularly for structs that contain function
body types.
`Type.requiresComptime` is now moved into Sema because it can fail and
might need to trigger field type resolution. Comptime pointer loading
takes into account types that do not have a well-defined memory layout
and does not try to compute a byte offset for them.
`fn()void` syntax no longer secretly makes a pointer. You get a function
body type, which requires comptime. However a pointer to a function body
can be runtime known (obviously).
Compile errors that report "expected pointer, found ..." are factored
out into convenience functions `checkPtrOperand` and `checkPtrType` and
have a note about function pointers.
Implemented `Value.hash` for functions, enum literals, and undefined values.
stage1 is not updated to this (yet?), so some workarounds and disabled
tests are needed to keep everything working. Should we update stage1 to
these new type semantics? Yes probably because I don't want to add too
much conditional compilation logic in the std lib for the different
backends.
This reverts commit 1f10cf4edf2b645e63dedc42f5d7475914bf2311.
Re-opens #10618
I want to solve this a different way. `align(S)` where S is a 0-byte
type should work in this context.
This also caused issues such as
https://github.com/Vexu/arocc/issues/221
An attempt to normalize some of the function names in build.zig. Normalize add*Dir to add*Path. Also use "Library" instead of the "Lib" abbreviation.
The PR does not remove the old names, only adds the new normalized ones to faciliate a transition period.
The size of a GUID is not platform-dependent, it's always a fixed number of bits. So I've updated guid to use fixed bit integer types rather than platform-dependent C integer types.
