Fixes#15489
This also lays the groundwork for exposing the whether or not a function is
noinline in std.builtin.Fn as an `is_noinline: bool` field if we ever want to do that.
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.
* 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.
The self-hosted aarch64 backend is not currently functional due to the
Liveness changes. A previous commit disabled aarch64 on the behavior
tests; this commit disables it and arm for the test cases. Moreover, all
incremental test cases have been unified into shared cross-platform
cases, which can be gradually enabled as the backends improve.
Also remove an incorrect piece of logic which allowed fetching the 'len'
property on non-single-ptrs (e.g. many-ptrs) and add a corresponding
compile error test case.
Resolves: #4765
There are now very few stage1 cases remaining:
* `cases/compile_errors/stage1/obj/*` currently don't work correctly on
stage2. There are 6 of these, and most of them are probably fairly
simple to fix.
* `cases/compile_errors/async/*` and all remaining `safety/*` depend on
async; see #6025.
Resolves: #14849
commit 3204d00a5e7fe119b690e921138a439fb84dff5b intended to move this
passing test case from stage1 folder but it was accidentally changed to
have identical contents as a different test case instead.
Fortunately, the test case has not regressed, so I simply replaced it
with the intended test from before.
Instead of using `zig test` to build a special version of the compiler
that runs all the test-cases, the zig build system is now used as much
as possible - all with the basic steps found in the standard library.
For incremental compilation tests (the ones that look like foo.0.zig,
foo.1.zig, foo.2.zig, etc.), a special version of the compiler is
compiled into a utility executable called "check-case" which checks
exactly one sequence of incremental updates in an independent
subprocess. Previously, all incremental and non-incremental test cases
were done in the same test runner process.
The compile error checking code is now simpler, but also a bit
rudimentary, and so it additionally makes sure that the actual compile
errors do not include *extra* messages, and it makes sure that the
actual compile errors output in the same order as expected. It is also
based on the "ends-with" property of each line rather than the previous
logic, which frankly I didn't want to touch with a ten-meter pole. The
compile error test cases have been updated to pass in light of these
differences.
Previously, 'error' mode with 0 compile errors was used to shoehorn in a
different kind of test-case - one that only checks if a piece of code
compiles without errors. Now there is a 'compile' mode of test-cases,
and 'error' must be only used when there are greater than 0 errors.
link test cases are updated to omit the target object format argument
when calling checkObject since that is no longer needed.
The test/stage2 directory is removed; the 2 files within are moved to be
directly in the test/ directory.
With this change, `break` and `break :blk` will fill the result location
with `.void_value`, ensuring that the value will be type checked.
The same will happen for a for loop that contains no `break`s in it's body.
