Also known as "Struct-Of-Arrays" or "SOA". The purpose of this data
structure is to provide a similar API to ArrayList but instead of
the element type being a struct, the fields of the struct are in N
different arrays, all with the same length and capacity.
Having this abstraction means we can put them in the same allocation,
avoiding overhead with the allocator. It also saves a tiny bit of
overhead from the redundant capacity and length fields, since each
struct element shares the same value.
This is an alternate implementation to #7854.
comptime direct slice.len increment dodges bounds checking but
we can emit an error for it, at least in the simple case.
- promote original assert to compile-error
- add test case

Adds support for wide, UTF-16, and UTF-32 string literals. If used to initialize
an incomplete array, the same logic as narrow strings is used. Otherwise they
are translated as global "anonymous" arrays of the relevant underlying char type.
A dot is used in the name to ensure the generated names do not conflict with any
other names in the translated program.
For example:
```c
void my_fn() {
const uint32_t *foo = U"foo";
}
```
becomes:
```zig
const @"zig.UTF32_string_2" = [4]c_uint{
'\u{66}',
'\u{6f}',
'\u{6f}',
0,
};
pub export fn my_fn() void {
var foo: [*c]const u32 = &@"zig.UTF32_string_2";
}
```
1. For incomplete arrays with initializer list (`int x[] = {1};`) use the
initializer size as the array size.
2. For arrays initialized with a string literal translate it as an array
of character literals instead of `[*c]const u8`
3. Don't crash if an empty initializer is used for an incomplete array.
4. Add a test for multi-character character constants
Additionally lay some groundwork for supporting wide string literals.
fixes#4831#7832#7842
The CLI gains -flto and -fno-lto options to override the default.
However, the cool thing about this is that the defaults are great! In
general when you use build-exe in release mode, Zig will enable LTO if
it would work and it would help.
zig cc supports detecting and honoring the -flto and -fno-lto flags as
well. The linkWithLld functions are improved to all be the same with
regards to copying the artifact instead of trying to pass single objects
through LLD with -r. There is possibly a future improvement here as
well; see the respective TODOs.
stage1 is updated to support outputting LLVM bitcode instead of machine
code when lto is enabled. This allows LLVM to optimize across the Zig and
C/C++ code boundary.
closes#2845
This temporary patch fixes a segfault caused by miscompilation
by the LLD when generating stubs for initialization of thread local
storage. We effectively bypass TLS in the default panic handler
so that no segfault is generated and the stack trace is correctly
reported back to the user.
Note that, this is linked directly to a bigger issue with LLD
ziglang/zig#7527 and when resolved, we only need to remove the
`comptime` code path introduced with this patch to use the default
panic handler that relies on TLS.

string literals and error set types were allocating the ty/val fields of
the anonymous Decl into the owner Decl's arena, rather than the
new anonymous Decl's arena as intended. This caused use of undefined
value later on in the pipeline.
Previously you had to recompile if you wanted to change the log scopes
that get printed. Now, log scopes can be set at runtime, and -Dlog
controls whether all logging is available at runtime.
Purpose here is a nicer development experience. Most likely stage2
developers will always want -Dlog enabled and then pass --debug-log
scopes when debugging particular issues.
ideal capacity is now determined by e.g.
x += x / f
rather than
x = x * b / a
This turns a multiplication into an addition, making it less likely to
overflow the integer. This commit also introduces padToIdeal() which
does saturating arithmetic so that no overflow is possible when
calculating ideal capacity.
