This commit introduces the new `ref_coerced_ty` result type into AstGen.
This represents a expression which we want to treat as an lvalue, and
the pointer will be coerced to a given type.
This change gives known result types to many expressions, in particular
struct and array initializations. This allows certain casts to work
which previously required explicitly specifying types via `@as`. It also
eliminates our dependence on anonymous struct types for expressions of
the form `&.{ ... }` - this paves the way for #16865, and also results
in less Sema magic happening for such initializations, also leading to
potentially better runtime code.
As part of these changes, this commit also implements #17194 by
disallowing RLS on explicitly-typed struct and array initializations.
Apologies for linking these changes - it seemed rather pointless to try
and separate them, since they both make big changes to struct and array
initializations in AstGen. The rationale for this change can be found in
the proposal - in essence, performing RLS whilst maintaining the
semantics of the intermediary type is a very difficult problem to solve.
This allowed the problematic `coerce_result_ptr` ZIR instruction to be
completely eliminated, which in turn also simplified the logic for
inferred allocations in Sema - thanks to this, we almost break even on
line count!
In doing this, the ZIR instructions surrounding these initializations
have been restructured - some have been added and removed, and others
renamed for clarity (and their semantics changed slightly). In order to
optimize ZIR tag count, the `struct_init_anon_ref` and
`array_init_anon_ref` instructions have been removed in favour of using
`ref` on a standard anonymous value initialization, since these
instructions are now virtually never used.
Lastly, it's worth noting that this commit introduces a slightly strange
source of generic poison types: in the expression `@as(*anyopaque, &x)`,
the sub-expression `x` has a generic poison result type, despite no
generic code being involved. This turns out to be a logical choice,
because we don't know the result type for `x`, and the generic poison
type represents precisely this case, providing the semantics we need.

Commit ea9917d9bd921f9fc14028a8dbf9e3f0f2579120 introduced usage
of fs.Dir.realpath which eventually calls os.getFdpath which is
forbidden to be used by the compiler. It causes building zig to fail on
OpenBsd, NetBSD and older versions of FreeBSD and DragonFly.
This patch substitutes with os.realpath on libc targets and eventually
calls c.realpath and allows zig to build. Any use of realpath is not
desired but this is the lesser evil.
Before this commit, you could use readElfDebugInfo independently with
one catch: the data is not freed since the deinitialization functions
for ModuleDebugInfo are private. This change makes them public so the
users of such function and similar can free the memory after the
debug symbols have been used.
dwarf: fixup x86 register mapping logic
dwarf: change the register context update to update in-place instead of copying
debug: always print the unwind error type
This change enhances stack trace output to include a note that debug info was missing,
and therefore the stack trace may not be accurate. For example, if the user is using a libc
compiled with -fomit-frame-pointer and doesn't have debug symbols installed, any traces
that begin in a libc function may not unwind correctly. This allows the user to notice this and
potentially install debug symbols to improve the output.
I had accidentally regressed support for -gdwarf in 461fb499f3cff9038a427eae120fb34defc9ab38 when I changed the logic to
use the already-mapped exe/dll image instead of loading it from disk. The string table is mapped as all zeroes by the loader,
so if a section header's name is longer than 8 bytes (like the ones generated by -gdwarf), then the name can't be read.
Now, if any section headers require the string table, the file is mapped from disk.
windows: Add NtCreateSection/NtMapViewOfSection/NtUnmapViewOfSection
- Fix unwindFrame using the previous FDE row instead of the current one
- Handle unwinding through noreturn functions
- Add x86-linux getcontext
- Fixup x86_64-linux getcontext not restoring the fp env
- Fix start_addr filtering on x86-windows
- .eh_frame_hdr contains a binary-searchable data structure for finding an FDE. If present, we can use this
section to avoid having to parse the entire FDE/CIE list in the binary, instead only entries that are actually
required for unwinding are read.
- rework the inputs pc-relative pointer decoding to support both already-mapped sections as well as sections
mapped from a file
- store the VirtualMachine on UnwindContext so the allocations can be reused
