This was originally supposed to be a lock-free queue, but I gave up on
that and made it be a thread-safe queue instead.
Putting the mutex directly inside the queue data structure makes it
non-composeable. Instead, the recommendation is to use a normal queue
protected by an external mutex.
This was originally supposed to be a lock-free stack, but I gave up on
that and made it be a thread-safe stack which is implemented poorly
using spin locks. Nobody should use this data structure.
The alternative is a normal stack protected by a mutex.
* remove `std.atomic.Ordering`
- it is provided by the language with `std.builtin.AtomicOrder`.
* remove `std.atomic.fence`
- it is provided by the language with `@fence`.
* remove `std.atomic.compilerFence`
- if this is desired, it should be a language feature, not a standard
library function with inline asm.
Tests that only reference decls for the purpose of analyzing more tests
should be unnamed, otherwise trying to filter for just a referenced test
can become impossible depending on the names.
We already have a LICENSE file that covers the Zig Standard Library. We
no longer need to remind everyone that the license is MIT in every single
file.
Previously this was introduced to clarify the situation for a fork of
Zig that made Zig's LICENSE file harder to find, and replaced it with
their own license that required annual payments to their company.
However that fork now appears to be dead. So there is no need to
reinforce the copyright notice in every single file.
* Breaking language change: inline assembly must use string literal
syntax. This is in preparation for inline assembly improvements that
involve more integration with the Zig language. This means we cannot
rely on text substitution.
* Liveness: properly handle inline assembly and function calls with
more than 3 operands.
- More than 35 operands is not yet supported. This is a low priority
to implement.
- This required implementation in codegen.zig as well.
* Liveness: fix bug causing incorrect tomb bits.
* Sema: enable switch expressions that are evaluated at compile-time.
- Runtime switch instructions still need to be reworked in this
branch. There was a TODO left here (by me) with a suggestion to do
some bigger changes as part of the AIR memory reworking. Now that
time has come and I plan to honor the suggestion in a future commit
before merging this branch.
* AIR printing: fix missing ')' on alive instructions.
We're back to "hello world" working for the x86_64 backend.
- deprecates `std.Thread.spinLoopHint` and moves it to `std.atomic.spinLoopHint`
- added an Atomic(T) generic wrapper type which replaces atomic.Bool and atomic.Int
- in Atomic(T), selectively expose member functions depending on T and include bitwise atomic methods when T is an Integer
- added fence() and compilerFence() to std.atomic
