When the element is comptime-known, we can check if it has a repeated
byte representation. In this case, `@memset` can be lowered with the
LLVM intrinsic rather than with a loop.
On Windows, a directory that's set as the current working directory is
not allowed to be removed. This can cause error on `deleteTree` if the
CWD is set to the file to be removed and will cause `error.FileBusy`.
However, due to `tmp.cleanup()` ignoring the errors, the folder removal error will
be ignored. The only test violating this is `windows_spawn`. As a
solution, setting the parent directory to be the CWD before deletion
will allow the cleanup to pass.
This fixes a bug where resolveStructLayout to was promoting from stale
value_arena state which was then overwrriten when another ArenaAllocator
higher in the call stack saved its state back. This resulted in the memory
for struct_obj.optmized_order overlapping existing allocations.
My initial fix in c7067ef wasn't sufficient, as it only checked if the struct being
resolved had the same owner as the current sema instance. However, it's
possible for resolveStructLayout to be called when the sema instance
has a different owner, but the struct decl's value_arena is currently in
use higher up in the callstack.
This change introduces ValueArena, which holds the arena state as well as tracks
if an arena has already been promoted from it. This allows callers to use the
value_arena storage without needing to be aware of another user of this same storage
higher up in the call stack.
If the C code had variables that were named the same as the prefixes used
for name mangling, such as "tmp" or "ref", then the codegen would generate
incorrect code in some cases. This was because these aliases were immediately
visible to expressions that actually needed to use the original name.
I introduced the concept of reserving aliases without enabling them. An alias
that isn't enabled isn't visible to expression translation, but is still
reserved so that sub-expressions generate aliases that don't overlap.
Add test cases to cover the cases that would break before this change.

Now they use slices or array pointers with any element type instead of
requiring byte pointers.
This is a breaking enhancement to the language.
The safety check for overlapping pointers will be implemented in a
future commit.
closes#14040
This reverts commit c75e11bf6aa67f2ca62b9b6677d134592777bfec.
Caused this problem on some machines:
"this step declares an upper bound of 9126805504 bytes of memory,
exceeding the available 7515721728 bytes of memory".
Instead the next commit will disable std lib tests with the C backend on
Windows.
I observed clang taking 8G to compile the output from the std lib tests
using the C backend. This commit should make the Windows CI stop failing
due to OOM.
* docs(std.math): elaborate on difference between absCast and absInt
* docs(std.rand.Random.weightedIndex): elaborate on likelihood
I think this makes it easier to understand.
* langref: add small reminder
* docs(std.fs.path.extension): brevity
* docs(std.bit_set.StaticBitSet): mention the specific types
* std.debug.TTY: explain what purpose this struct serves
This should also make it clearer that this struct is not supposed to provide unrelated terminal manipulation functionality such as setting the cursor position or something because terminals are complicated and we should keep this struct simple and focused on debugging.
* langref(package listing): brevity
* langref: explain what exactly `threadlocal` causes to happen
* std.array_list: link between swapRemove and orderedRemove
Maybe this can serve as a TLDR and make it easier to decide.
* PrefetchOptions.locality: clarify docs that this is a range
This confused me previously and I thought I can only use either 0 or 3.
* fix typos and more
* std.builtin.CallingConvention: document some CCs
* langref: explain possibly cryptic names
I think it helps knowing what exactly these acronyms (@clz and @ctz) and
abbreviations (@popCount) mean.
* variadic function error: add missing preposition
* std.fmt.format docs: nicely hyphenate
* help menu: say what to optimize for
I think this is slightly more specific than just calling it
"optimizations". These are speed optimizations. I used the word
"performance" here.
* Disable 128-bit atomics for x86_64 generic (currently also baseline)
because they require heavy abi agreement to correctly lower.
** This is a breaking change **
* Enable 128-bit atomics for aarch64 in Sema since it just works.
Since the Zig language documentation claims support for `.Min` and
`.Max` in `@atomicRmw` with floats, allow in Sema and implement for both
the llvm and C backends.
