- 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
A simple enum is an enum which has an automatic integer tag type,
all tag values automatically assigned, and no top level declarations.
Such enums are created directly in AstGen and shared by all the
generic/comptime instantiations of the surrounding ZIR code. This
commit implements, but does not yet add any test cases for, simple enums.
A full enum is an enum for which any of the above conditions are not
true. Full enums are created in Sema, and therefore will create a unique
type per generic/comptime instantiation. This commit does not implement
full enums. However the `enum_decl_nonexhaustive` ZIR instruction is
added and the respective Type functions are filled out.
This commit makes an improvement to ZIR code, removing the decls array
and removing the decl_map from AstGen. Instead, decl_ref and
decl_val ZIR instructions index into the `owner_decl.dependencies`
ArrayHashMap. We already need this dependencies array for incremental
compilation purposes, and so repurposing it to also use it for ZIR decl
indexes makes for efficient memory usage.
Similarly, this commit fixes up incorrect memory management by removing
the `const` ZIR instruction. The two places it was used stored memory in
the AstGen arena, which may get freed after Sema. Now it properly sets
up a new anonymous Decl for error sets and uses a normal decl_val
instruction.
The other usage of `const` ZIR instruction was float literals. These are
now changed to use `float` ZIR instruction when the value fits inside
`zir.Inst.Data` and `float128` otherwise.
AstGen + Sema: implement int_to_enum and enum_to_int. No tests yet; I expect to
have to make some fixes before they will pass tests. Will do that in the
branch before merging.
AstGen: fix struct astgen incorrectly counting decls as fields.
Type/Value: give up on trying to exhaustively list every tag all the
time. This makes the file more manageable. Also found a bug with
i128/u128 this way, since the name of the function was more obvious when
looking at the tag values.
Type: implement abiAlignment and abiSize for structs. This will need to
get more sophisticated at some point, but for now it is progress.
Value: add new `enum_field_index` tag.
Value: add hash_u32, needed when using ArrayHashMap.
additionally introduce a new file to centralize all the data about
builtin functions that we have, including:
* enum tag identifying the builtin function
* number of parameters.
* whether the expression may need a memory location.
* whether the expression allows an lvalue (currently only true for
`@field`).
Now there is only one ComptimeStringMap that has this data as the value,
and we dispatch on the enum tag in order to asgen the builtin function.
In particular this simplifies the logic for checking the number of
parameters.
This removes some untested code paths from if and while, which need to
be restored with #7929 in mind.
After this there are only a handful left of expression types to rework
to the new memory layout, and then it will be only compile errors left
to solve.
