When a local variable is never used as an lvalue, we can determine that
`const` would be sufficient for this variable, so emit an error in this
case. More sophisticated checking is unfortunately not possible with
Zig's current analysis model, since whether an lvalue is actually
mutated depends on semantic analysis, in which some code paths may not
be analyzed, so attempting to determine this would result in false
positive compile errors.
It's worth noting that an unfortunate consequence of this is that any
field call `a.b()` will allow `a` to be `var`, even if `b` does not take
a pointer as its first parameter - this is again a necessary compromise
because the parameter type is not known until semantic analysis.
Also update `translate-c` to not trigger these errors. This is done by
replacing the `_ = @TypeOf(x)` emitted with `_ = &x` - the reference
there means that the local is permitted to be `var`. A similar strategy
will be used to prevent compile errors in the behavior tests, where we
sometimes want to force a value to be runtime-known.
Resolves: #224
The motivating problem here was a memory leak in the hash maps of
Module.Namespace.
The commit deletes more of the legacy incremental compilation
implementation. It had things like use of orderedRemove and trying to do
too much OOP-style creation and deletion of objects.
Instead, this commit iterates over all the namespaces on Module deinit
and calls deinit on the hash map fields. This logic is much simpler to
reason about.
Similarly, change global inline assembly to an array hash map since
iterating over the values is a primary use of it, and clean up the
remaining values on Module deinit, solving another memory leak.
After this there are no more memory leaks remaining when using the
x86 backend in a libc-less compiler.
This reverts commit 547481c31c8a538a7badbdce66d81820177ce87f.
There is a comment that did not get addressed with this patch, and the
required test cases are not added.
Reopens#17798.
Addresses a comment in #17779 pointing out the inability to fetch the
upstream BoringSSL sources over Git. The reason for this is because the
Git server used in this case did not include the optional (but
recommended) LF terminator for textual pkt-line data. This commit
adjusts handling of textual pkt-line data so that it works both with and
without the optional trailing LF.
