Previously, they were only created when we had any TLS segment.
This meant that while the symbol existed, the global itself wouldn't.
The result of this was a crash during symbol names writing as it
would attempt to write the symbol name of a global that didn't exist.
Now we always create them, and instead update its `init` value during
`setupMemory`.
In the future, the entire symbol (and global) will be removed by
the garbage collector.
Implements the `start` section which will execute a given function
at startup of the program. After function execution, the _start
function will be called by the runtime. In the case of shared-memory
we set this section to the function `__wasm_init_memory` which will
initialize all memory on startup.
This also fixes the above mentioned function to ensure we correctly
lower the i32 values.
Lastly, this fixes a typo where we would retrieve a global, instead
of setting its value.
Rather than verifying if importing memory is false, we now rely
on the option that was passed to the CLI (where export is defaulted
to `true` unless only import-memory is given).
* getOwnedFunctionIndex no longer checks if the value is actually a
function.
* The callsites to `intern` that I added want to avoid the `getCoerced`
call, so I added `intern2`.
* Adding to inferred error sets should not happen if the destination
error set is not the inferred error set of the current Sema instance.
* adhoc_inferred_error_set_type can be seen by the backend. Treat it
like anyerror.
* move inferred error sets into InternPool.
- they are now represented by pointing directly at the corresponding
function body value.
* inferred error set working memory is now in Sema and expires after
the Sema for the function corresponding to the inferred error set is
finished having its body analyzed.
* error sets use a InternPool.Index.Slice rather than an actual slice
to avoid lifetime issues.
Abridged summary:
* Move `Module.Fn` into `InternPool`.
* Delete a lot of confusing and problematic `Sema` logic related to
generic function calls.
This commit removes `Module.Fn` and replaces it with two new
`InternPool.Tag` values:
* `func_decl` - corresponding to a function declared in the source
code. This one contains line/column numbers, zir_body_inst, etc.
* `func_instance` - one for each monomorphization of a generic
function. Contains a reference to the `func_decl` from whence the
instantiation came, along with the `comptime` parameter values (or
types in the case of `anytype`)
Since `InternPool` provides deduplication on these values, these fields
are now deleted from `Module`:
* `monomorphed_func_keys`
* `monomorphed_funcs`
* `align_stack_fns`
Instead of these, Sema logic for generic function instantiation now
unconditionally evaluates the function prototype expression for every
generic callsite. This is technically required in order for type
coercions to work. The previous code had some dubious, probably wrong
hacks to make things work, such as `hashUncoerced`. I'm not 100% sure
how we were able to eliminate that function and still pass all the
behavior tests, but I'm pretty sure things were still broken without
doing type coercion for every generic function call argument.
After the function prototype is evaluated, it produces a deduplicated
`func_instance` `InternPool.Index` which can then be used for the
generic function call.
Some other nice things made by this simplification are the removal of
`comptime_args_fn_inst` and `preallocated_new_func` from `Sema`, and the
messy logic associated with them.
I have not yet been able to measure the perf of this against master
branch. On one hand, it reduces memory usage and pointer chasing of the
most heavily used `InternPool` Tag - function bodies - but on the other
hand, it does evaluate function prototype expressions more than before.
We will soon find out.
This flag allows the user to force export the memory to the host
environment. This is useful when the memory is imported from the
host but must also be exported. This is (currently) required
to pass the memory validation for runtimes when using threads.
In this future this may become an error instead.
Most of this migration was performed automatically with `zig fmt`. There
were a few exceptions which I had to manually fix:
* `@alignCast` and `@addrSpaceCast` cannot be automatically rewritten
* `@truncate`'s fixup is incorrect for vectors
* Test cases are not formatted, and their error locations change
Anecdote 1: The generic version is way more popular than the non-generic
one in Zig codebase:
git grep -w alignForward | wc -l
56
git grep -w alignForwardGeneric | wc -l
149
git grep -w alignBackward | wc -l
6
git grep -w alignBackwardGeneric | wc -l
15
Anecdote 2: In my project (turbonss) that does much arithmetic and
alignment I exclusively use the Generic functions.
Anecdote 3: we used only the Generic versions in the Macho Man's linker
workshop.
We now resolve undefined symbols during incremental-compilation
where we discard the current symbol if we detect we found
an existing symbol which is not the one currently being updated.
The symbol will always be discarded in favor of the existing symbol
in such a case.
When compiling Zig code using the Wasm backend, we would previously
incorrectly resolve exported symbols as it would not correctly remove
existing symbols if they were to be overwritten. This meant that
undefined symbols could cause collisions although they should be
resolved by the exported symbol.
Long term, linker backends will need to manage their own string tables
for things like this because my mandate is: no long-lived pointers
allowed in any of the codepaths touched by incremental compilation, so
that we can serialize and deserialize trivially.
Short term, I solved this with a couple calls to Allocator.dupe,
incurring some harmless leaks.
These are frequently invalidated whenever a string is interned, so avoid
creating pointers to `string_bytes` wherever possible. This is an
attempt to fix random CI failures.
The main motivation for this commit is eliminating Decl.value_arena.
Everything else is dominoes.
Decl.name used to be stored in the GPA, now it is stored in InternPool.
It ended up being simpler to migrate other strings to be interned as
well, such as struct field names, union field names, and a few others.
This ended up requiring a big diff, sorry about that. But the changes
are pretty nice, we finally start to take advantage of InternPool's
existence.
global_error_set and error_name_list are simplified. Now it is a single
ArrayHashMap(NullTerminatedString, void) and the index is the error tag
value.
Module.tmp_hack_arena is re-introduced (it was removed in
eeff407941560ce8eb5b737b2436dfa93cfd3a0c) in order to deal with
comptime_args, optimized_order, and struct and union fields. After
structs and unions get moved into InternPool properly, tmp_hack_arena
can be deleted again.
One change worth noting in this commit is that `module.global_error_set`
is no longer kept strictly up-to-date. The previous code reserved
integer error values when dealing with error set types, but this is no
longer needed because the integer values are not needed for semantic
analysis unless `@errorToInt` or `@intToError` are used and therefore
may be assigned lazily.
I'm seeing a new assertion trip: the call to `enumTagFieldIndex` in the
implementation of `@Type` is attempting to query the field index of an
union's enum tag, but the type of the enum tag value provided is not the
same as the union's tag type. Most likely this is a problem with type
coercion, since values are now typed.
Another problem is that I added some hacks in std.builtin because I
didn't see any convenient way to access them from Sema. That should
definitely be cleaned up before merging this branch.
Unlike unions and structs, enums are actually *encoded* into the
InternPool directly, rather than using the SegmentedList trick. This
results in them being quite compact, and greatly improved the ergonomics
of using enum types throughout the compiler.
It did however require introducing a new concept to the InternPool which
is an "incomplete" item - something that is added to gain a permanent
Index, but which is then mutated in place. This was necessary because
enum tag values and tag types may reference the namespaces created by
the enum itself, which required constructing the namespace, decl, and
calling analyzeDecl on the decl, which required the decl value, which
required the enum type, which required an InternPool index to be
assigned and for it to be meaningful.
The API for updating enums in place turned out to be quite slick and
efficient - the methods directly populate pre-allocated arrays and
return the information necessary to output the same compilation errors
as before.
