Over the last year of using std.log in practice, it has become clear to
me that having the current 8 distinct log levels does more harm than
good. It is too subjective which level a given message should have which
makes filtering based on log level weaker as not all messages will have
been assigned the log level one might expect.
Instead, more granular filtering should be achieved by leveraging the
logging scope feature. Filtering based on a combination of scope and log
level should be sufficiently powerful for all use-cases.
Note that the self hosted compiler has already limited itself to 4
distinct log levels for many months and implemented granular filtering
based on both log scope and level. This has worked very well in practice
while working on the self hosted compiler.
* without this, when an included relocatable references a common symbol
from another translation unit would not be correctly removed from
the unresolved lookup table triggering a misleading assertion down
the line
* assert upon removal that we indeed removed a ref instead of silently
ignoring in debug
* add test case that covers this issue
According to the documentation, `divTrunc` is "Truncated division.
Rounds toward zero". Lower it as a straightforward fdiv + trunc sequence
to make it behave as expected with mixed positive/negative operands.
Closes#10001
* Fix backend using wrong union field of the slice instruction.
* LLVM backend properly sets alignment on global variables.
* Sema: add coercion for *T to *[1]T
* Sema: pointers to Decls with explicit alignment now have alignment
metadata in them.
After a discussion about language specs, this seems like the best way to
go, because it's simpler to reason about both for humans and compilers.
The `bitcast_result_ptr` ZIR instruction is no longer needed.
This commit also implements writing enums, arrays, and vectors to
virtual memory at compile-time.
This unlocked some more of compiler-rt being able to build, which
in turn unlocks saturating arithmetic behavior tests.
There was also a memory leak in the comptime closure system which is now
fixed.
AIR:
* div is renamed to div_trunc.
* Add div_float, div_floor, div_exact.
- Implemented in Sema and LLVM codegen. C backend has a stub.
Improvements to std.math.big.Int:
* Add `eqZero` function to `Mutable`.
* Fix incorrect results for `divFloor`.
Compiler-rt:
* Add muloti4 to the stage2 section.
* New AIR instruction: slice, which constructs a slice out of a pointer
and a length.
* AstGen: use `coerced_ty` for start and end expressions, use `none`
for the sentinel, and don't try to load the result of the slice
operation because it returns a by-value result.
* Sema: pointer arithmetic is extracted into analyzePointerArithmetic
and it is used by the implementation of slice.
- Also I implemented comptime pointer addition.
* Sema: extract logic into analyzeSlicePtr, analyzeSliceLen and use them
inside the slice semantic analysis.
- The approach in stage2 is much cleaner than stage1 because it uses
more granular analysis calls for obtaining the slice pointer, doing
arithmetic on it, and checking if the length is comptime-known.
* Sema: use the slice Value Tag for slices when doing coercion from
pointer-to-array.
* LLVM backend: detect when emitting a GEP instruction into a
pointer-to-array and add the extra index that is required.
* Type: ptrAlignment for c_void returns 0.
* Implement Value.hash and Value.eql for slices.
* Remove accidentally duplicated behavior test.
* AstGen: Move `refToIndex` and `indexToRef` to Zir
* ZIR: the switch_block_*_* instruction tags are collapsed into one
switch_block tag which uses 4 bits for flags, and reduces the
scalar_cases_len field from 32 to 28 bits.
This freed up more ZIR tags, 2 of which are now used for
`switch_cond` and `switch_cond_ref` for producing the switch
condition value. For example, for union values it returns the
corresponding enum value.
* switching with multiple cases and ranges is not yet supported because
I want to change the ZIR encoding to store index pointers into the
extra array rather than storing prong indexes. This will avoid O(N^2)
iteration over prongs.
* AstGen now adds a `switch_cond` on the operand and then passes the
result of that to the `switch_block` instruction.
* Sema: partially implement `switch_capture_*` instructions.
* Sema: `unionToTag` notices if the enum type has only one possible value.
* Sema: fix returned operands not coercing to the function return type
in some cases.
- When returning an error or an error union from a function with an
inferred error set, it will now populate the inferred error set.
- Implement error set coercion for the common case of inferred error
set to inferred error set, without forcing a full resolution.
* LLVM backend: update instruction lowering that handles error unions
to respect `isByRef`.
- Also implement `wrap_err_union_err`.
* Sema: implement peer type resolution for optionals and null.
* Rename `Module.optionalType` to `Type.optional`.
* LLVM backend: re-use anonymous values. This is especially useful when
isByRef()=true because it means re-using the same generated LLVM globals.
* LLVM backend: rework the implementation of is_null and is_non_null
AIR instructions. Generate slightly better LLVM code, and also fix
the behavior for optionals whose payload type is 0-bit.
* LLVM backend: improve `cmp` AIR instruction lowering to support
pointer-like optionals.
* `Value`: implement support for equality-checking optionals.
* LLVM backend: The `alloc` AIR instruction as well as pointer
constants which point to a 0-bit element type now call a common
codepath to produce a `*const llvm.Value` which is a non-zero pointer
with a bogus-but-properly-aligned address.
* LLVM backend: improve the lowering of optional types.
* Type: `hasCodeGenBits()` now returns `true` for pointers even when
it returns `false` for their element types.
Effectively, #6706 is now implemented in stage2 but not stage1.
* saturating shl - check for negative rhs at comptime
- adds expected compile_errors case for negative rhs
* add expected compile error for sat shl assign
* std.os: take advantage of `@minimum`. It's probably time to
deprecate `std.min` and `std.max`.
* New AIR instructions: min and max
* Introduce SIMD vector support to stage2
* Add `@Type` support for vectors
* Sema: add `checkSimdBinOp` which can be re-used for other arithmatic
operators that want to support vectors.
* Implement coercion from vectors to arrays.
- In backends this is handled with bitcast for vector to array,
however maybe we want to reduce the amount of branching by
introducing an explicit AIR instruction for it in the future.
* LLVM backend: implement lowering vector types
* Sema: Implement `slice.ptr` at comptime
* Value: improve `numberMin` and `numberMax` to support floats in
addition to integers, and make them behave properly in the presence
of NaN.
* `Module.Union.getFullyQualifiedName` returns a sentinel-terminated
slice so that backends that need null-termination do not need an
additional copy.
* Module.Union: implement a `getLayout` function which returns
information about ABI size and alignment so that the LLVM backend can
properly lower union types into llvm types.
* Sema: `resolveType` now returns `error.GenericPoison` rather than a
Type with tag `generic_poison`. Callsites that want to allow that
need to bypass this higher-level function.
* Sema: implement coercion of enums and enum literals to unions.
* Sema: fix comptime mutation of pointers to unions
* LLVM backend: fully implement proper lowering of union types and
values according to the union layout, and update the handling of AIR
instructions that deal with unions to support union layouts.
* LLVM backend: handle `decl_ref_mut`
- Maybe this should be unreachable since comptime vars should be
changed to be non-mutable when they go out of scope, but it's
harmless for the LLVM backend to support lowering the value.
* Type: fix `requiresComptime` for optionals, pointers, and some other
types. This function is still wrong for structs, unions, and enums.
* Make `alloc` AIR instructions call `resolveTypeLayout`.
* `Sema.zirResolveInferredAlloc` now calls `requireRuntimeBlock` in the
case that it operates on a non-comptime instruction.
* `Type.abiSize` and `Type.abiAlignment` now return 0 for `void`
* Sema: implement `resolveTypeFields` for unions.
* LLVM Backend: support `ptr_elem_ptr` when the element type is 0-bit.
* Type: improve `abiAlignment` implementation for structs to properly
handle fields with non-default alignment.
* Value: implement hashing array, vector, and structs.
* ZIR: the `array_type_sentinel` now has a source node attached to it
for proper error reporting.
* Refactor: move `Module.arrayType` to `Type.array`
* Value: the `bytes` and `array` tags now include the sentinel, if the
type has one. This simplifies comptime evaluation logic.
* Sema: fix `zirStructInitEmpty` to properly handle when the type is
void or a sentinel-terminated array. This handles the syntax `void{}`
and `[0:X]T{}`.
* Sema: fix the logic for reporting "cannot store runtime value in
compile time variable" as well as for emitting a runtime store when a
pointer value is comptime known but it is a global variable.
* Sema: implement elemVal for double pointer to array. This can happen
with this code for example: `var a: *[1]u8 = undefined; _ = a[0];`
* Sema: Rework the `storePtrVal` function to properly handle nested
structs and arrays.
- Also it now handles comptime stores through a bitcasted pointer.
When the pointer element type and the type according to the Decl
don't match, the element value is bitcasted before storage.
