The `Value.eql` function has to test for value equality *as-if* the lhs
value parameter is coerced into the type of the rhs. For tagged unions,
there was a problematic case when the lhs was an anonymous struct,
because in such case the value is empty_struct_value and the type
contains all the value information. But the only type available in the
function was the rhs type.
So the fix involved making `Value.eqlAdvanced` also accept the lhs type,
and then enhancing the logic to handle the case of the `.anon_struct` tag.

Tests run locally:
* test-behavior
* test-cases
The problem was that types of non-anytype parameters were being included
as part of the check to see if generic function instantiations were
equal. Now, Module.Fn additionally stores the information for whether each
parameter is anytype or not. `generic_poison` cannot be used to signal
this because the type is still needed for comptime arguments; in such
case the type will not be present in the newly generated function
prototype.
This presented one additional challenge: we need to compare equality of
two values where one of them is post-coercion and the other is not. So
we make some minor adjustments to `Type.eql` to support this. I think
this small complexity tradeoff is worth it because it means the compiler
does much less work on the hot path that a generic function is called
and there is already an existing matching instantiation.

* In semaStructFields and semaUnionFields we return error.GenericPoison
if one of the field types ends up being generic poison.
- This requires handling function calls and function types taking
this into account when calling `typeRequiresComptime` on the return
type.
* Unrelated: I noticed using Valgrind that struct reification did not
populate the `known_opv` field. After fixing it, the behavior tests
run Valgrind-clean.
* ZIR: use `@ptrCast` to cast between slices instead of exploiting
the fact that stage1 incorrectly allows `@bitCast` between slices.
- A future enhancement will make Zig support `@ptrCast` to directly
cast between slices.
This also fixes a bug that I didn't see causing any problems yet in
generic function instantiation where it would read from a GetOrPutResult
too late.
Also it delays full resolution of generic function type parameters until
after the function body is finished being analyzed.
closes#11291
* std.meta: correct use of `default_value` in reification. stage1
accepted a wrong type for `null`.
* Sema: after instantiating a generic function, if the return type ends
up being a comptime-known type, then we return an error, undoing the
generic function instantiation, and making a comptime function call
instead.
- We also needed to clean up the dependency graph in this case.
* Sema: reified enums set tag_ty_inferred to false since an integer tag
type is provided. This is a limitation of the `@Type` builtin which
will be addressed with #10710.
* Sema: fix resolveInferredErrorSet incorrectly calling
ensureFuncBodyAnalyzed on generic functions.
Adds 2 new AIR instructions:
* dbg_var_ptr
* dbg_var_val
Sema no longer emits dbg_stmt AIR instructions when strip=true.
LLVM backend: fixed lowerPtrToVoid when calling ptrAlignment on
the element type is problematic.
LLVM backend: fixed alloca instructions improperly getting debug
location annotated, causing chaotic debug info behavior.
zig_llvm.cpp: fixed incorrect bindings for a function that should use
unsigned integers for line and column.
A bunch of C test cases regressed because the new dbg_var AIR
instructions caused their operands to be alive, exposing latent bugs.
Mostly it's just a problem that the C backend lowers mutable
and const slices to the same C type, so we need to represent that in the
C backend instead of printing two duplicate typedefs.
check the set of passing tests; move towards the disabling logic being
inside each test rather than which files are included.
this enables a few more passing tests.
Instead use the standarized option for communicating the
zig compiler backend at comptime, which is `zig_backend`. This was
introduced in commit 1c24ef0d0b09a12a1fe98056f2fc04de78a82df3.
* Merge call zir instructions to make space for field_call
* Fix bug with comptime known anytype args
* Delete the param_type zir instruction
* Move some passing tests to stage 2
* Implement a.b() function calls
* Add field_call_bind support for call and field builtins
Also:
* improve the "ambiguous reference" error by swapping the order of
"declared here" and "also declared here" notes.
* improve the "not accessible from inner function" error:
- point out that it has to do with the thing being mutable
- eliminate the incorrect association with it being a function
- note where it crosses a namespace boundary
* struct field types are evaluated in a context that has the struct
namespace visible. Likewise with align expressions, linksection
expressions, enum tag values, and union/enum tag argument
expressions.
Closes#9194Closes#9622
* Introduce `ret_load` ZIR instruction which does return semantics
based on a corresponding `ret_ptr` instruction. If the return type of
the function has storage for the return type, it simply returns.
However if the return type of the function is by-value, it loads the
return value from the `ret_ptr` allocation and returns that.
* AstGen: improve `finishThenElseBlock` to not emit break instructions
after a return instruction in the same block.
* Sema: `ret_ptr` instruction works correctly in comptime contexts.
Same with `alloc_mut`.
The test case with a recursive inline function having an implicitly
comptime return value now has a runtime return value because of the fact
that it calls a function in a non-comptime context.
The `comptime_args` field of Fn has a clarified purpose:
For generic function instantiations, there is a `TypedValue` here
for each parameter of the function:
* Non-comptime parameters are marked with a `generic_poison` for the value.
* Non-anytype parameters are marked with a `generic_poison` for the type.
Sema now has a `fn_ret_ty` field. Doc comments reproduced here:
> When semantic analysis needs to know the return type of the function whose body
> is being analyzed, this `Type` should be used instead of going through `func`.
> This will correctly handle the case of a comptime/inline function call of a
> generic function which uses a type expression for the return type.
> The type will be `void` in the case that `func` is `null`.
Various places in Sema are modified in accordance with this guidance.
Fixed `resolveMaybeUndefVal` not returning `error.GenericPoison` when
Value Tag of `generic_poison` is encountered.
Fixed generic function memoization incorrect equality checking. The
logic now clearly deals properly with any combination of anytype and
comptime parameters.
Fixed not removing generic function instantiation from the table in case
a compile errors in the rest of `call` semantic analysis. This required
introduction of yet another adapter which I have called
`GenericRemoveAdapter`. This one is nice and simple - it's the same hash
function (the same precomputed hash is passed in) but the equality
function checks pointers rather than doing any logic.
Inline/comptime function calls coerce each argument in accordance with
the function parameter type expressions. Likewise the return type
expression is evaluated and provided (see `fn_ret_ty` above).
There's a new compile error "unable to monomorphize function". It's
pretty unhelpful and will need to get improved in the future. It happens
when a type expression in a generic function did not end up getting
resolved at a callsite. This can happen, for example, if a runtime
parameter is attempted to be used where it needed to be comptime known:
```zig
fn foo(x: anytype) [x]u8 { _ = x; }
```
In this example, even if we pass a number such as `10` for `x`, it is
not marked `comptime`, so `x` will have a runtime known value, making
the return type unable to resolve.
In the LLVM backend I implement cmp instructions for float types to pass
some behavior tests that used floats.
* ZIR encoding for function instructions have a body for the return
type. This lets Sema for generic functions do the same thing it does
for parameters, handling `error.GenericPoison` in the evaluation of
the return type by marking the function as generic.
* Sema: fix missing block around the new Decl arena finalization. This
led to a memory corruption.
* Added some floating point support to the LLVM backend but didn't get
far enough to pass any new tests.
Module has a new field `monomorphed_funcs` which stores the set of
`*Module.Fn` objects which are generic function instantiations.
The hash is based on hashes of comptime values of parameters known to be
comptime based on an explicit comptime keyword or must-be-comptime
type expressions that can be evaluated without performing monomorphization.
This allows function calls to be semantically analyzed cheaply for
generic functions which are already instantiated.
The table is updated with a single `getOrPutAdapted` in the semantic
analysis of `call` instructions, by pre-allocating the `Fn` object and
passing it to the child `Sema`.

Master branch added `try` to a bunch of testing function calls, and some
lines also had changed how to refer to the native architecture and other
`@import("builtin")` stuff.
