* `Module.Union.getFullyQualifiedName` returns a sentinel-terminated
slice so that backends that need null-termination do not need an
additional copy.
* Module.Union: implement a `getLayout` function which returns
information about ABI size and alignment so that the LLVM backend can
properly lower union types into llvm types.
* Sema: `resolveType` now returns `error.GenericPoison` rather than a
Type with tag `generic_poison`. Callsites that want to allow that
need to bypass this higher-level function.
* Sema: implement coercion of enums and enum literals to unions.
* Sema: fix comptime mutation of pointers to unions
* LLVM backend: fully implement proper lowering of union types and
values according to the union layout, and update the handling of AIR
instructions that deal with unions to support union layouts.
* LLVM backend: handle `decl_ref_mut`
- Maybe this should be unreachable since comptime vars should be
changed to be non-mutable when they go out of scope, but it's
harmless for the LLVM backend to support lowering the value.
* Type: fix `requiresComptime` for optionals, pointers, and some other
types. This function is still wrong for structs, unions, and enums.
* AIR: add `get_union_tag` instruction
- implement in LLVM backend
* Sema: implement == and != for union and enum literal
- Also implement coercion from union to its own tag type
* Value: implement hashing for union values
The motivating example is this snippet:
comptime assert(@typeInfo(T) == .Float);
This was the next blocker for stage2 building compiler-rt.
Now it is switch at compile-time on an integer.
* AIR instructions struct_field_ptr and related functions now are also
emitted by the frontend for unions. Backends must inspect the type
of the pointer operand to lower the instructions correctly.
- These will be renamed to `agg_field_ptr` (short for "aggregate") in
the future.
* Introduce the new `set_union_tag` AIR instruction.
* Introduce `Module.EnumNumbered` and associated `Type` methods. This
is for enums which have no decls, but do have the possibility of
overriding the integer tag type and tag values.
* Sema: Implement support for union tag types in both the
auto-generated and explicitly-provided cases, as well as explicitly
provided enum tag values in union declarations.
* LLVM backend: implement lowering union types, union field pointer
instructions, and the new `set_union_tag` instruction.
* prepare compiler-rt to support being compiled by stage2
- put in a few minor workarounds that will be removed later, such as
using `builtin.stage2_arch` rather than `builtin.cpu.arch`.
- only try to export a few symbols for now - we'll move more symbols
over to the "working in stage2" section as they become functional
and gain test coverage.
- use `inline fn` at function declarations rather than `@call` with an
always_inline modifier at the callsites, to avoid depending on the
anonymous array literal syntax language feature (for now).
* AIR: replace floatcast instruction with fptrunc and fpext for
shortening and widening floating point values, respectively.
* Introduce a new ZIR instruction, `export_value`, which implements
`@export` for the case when the thing to be exported is a local
comptime value that points to a function.
- AstGen: fix `@export` not properly reporting ambiguous decl
references.
* Sema: handle ExportOptions linkage. The value is now available to all
backends.
- Implement setting global linkage as appropriate in the LLVM
backend. I did not yet inspect the LLVM IR, so this still needs to
be audited. There is already a pending task to make sure the alias
stuff is working as intended, and this is related.
- Sema almost handles section, just a tiny bit more code is needed in
`resolveExportOptions`.
* Sema: implement float widening and shortening for both `@floatCast`
and float coercion.
- Implement the LLVM backend code for this as well.
- hash/eql functions moved into a Context object
- *Context functions pass an explicit context
- *Adapted functions pass specialized keys and contexts
- new getPtr() function returns a pointer to value
- remove functions renamed to fetchRemove
- new remove functions return bool
- removeAssertDiscard deleted, use assert(remove(...)) instead
- Keys and values are stored in separate arrays
- Entry is now {*K, *V}, the new KV is {K, V}
- BufSet/BufMap functions renamed to match other set/map types
- fixed iterating-while-modifying bug in src/link/C.zig

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.
