`testing.expect` is better than `testing.expectEqual` for behavior
tests. Better for behavior tests to stick to only testing the limited
behavior they are meant to test and avoid functions such as
`expectEqual` that drag in too much of the standard library (in this
case to print helpful diffs about why a value is not equal to another).
Adds the sentinel element to the type name to avoid ambiguous
declarations, and outputs the sentinel element (if needed) even in what
would otherwise be empty arrays.
I think that reusing the ComptimePtrLoad infrastructure is ultimately
less logic and more robust than adding a `direct` flag to elem_ptr.
* Some code in zirTypeInfo needed to be fixed to create proper
Type/Value encodings.
* comptime elemVal works by constructing an elem_ptr Value and then
using the already existing pointerDeref function.
There are some remaining calls to Value.elemValue which should be
considered code smells at this point.
This fixes one of the major issues plaguing the `std.sort` comptime tests.
The high level issue is that at comptime, we need to know whether `elem_ptr` is
being used to subslice an array-like pointer or access a child value. High-level
example:
var x: [2][2]i32 = undefined;
var a = &x[0]; // elem_ptr, type *[2]i32
var y: [5]i32 = undefined;
var b = y[1..3]; // elem_ptr, type *[2]i32
`a` is pointing directly to the 0th element of `x`. But `b` is
subslicing the 1st and 2nd element of `y`. At runtime with a well
defined memory layout, this is an inconsequential detail. At comptime,
the values aren't laid out exactly in-memory so we need to know the
difference.
This becomes an issue specifically in this case:
var c: []i32 = a;
var d: []i32 = b;
When converting the `*[N]T` to `[]T` we need to know what array to point
to. For runtime, its all the same. For comptime, we need to know if its
the parent array or the child value.
See the behavior tests for more details.
This commit fixes this by adding a boolean to track this on the
`elem_ptr`. We can't just immediately deref the child for `&x[0]`
because it is legal to ptrCast it to a many-pointer, do arithmetic, and
then cast it back (see behavior test) so we need to retain access to the
"parent" indexable.
Currently, the new API will only be available on macOS with
the intention of adding more POSIX systems to it incrementally
(such as Linux, etc.).
Changes:
* add `posix_spawn` wrappers in a separate container in
`os/posix_spawn.zig`
* rewrite `ChildProcess.spawnPosix` using `posix_spawn` targeting macOS
as `ChildProcess.spawnMacos`
* introduce a `posix_spawn` specific `std.c.waitpid` wrapper which
does return an error in case the child process failed to exec - this
is required for any process that was spawned using `posix_spawn`
mechanism as, by definition, the errors returned by `posix_spawn`
routine cover only the `fork`-equivalent; `pre-exec()` and `exec()`
steps are covered by a catch-all error `ECHILD` returned by `waitpid`
on unsuccessful execution, e.g., no such file error, etc.
This adds the GPR/FPR register definitions and instruction formats
for SPARCv9.
I need to implement a separate enc() function because the register
values for the FPRs have to be encoded to a special format that's
separate from the normal register ID.
This involved some significant reworking in order to introduce the
concept of "forward declarations" to the system to break dependency
loops.
The `lowerDebugType` function now takes an `enum { full, fwd }` and is moved
from `DeclGen` to `Object` so that it can be called from `flushModule`.
`DITypeMap` is now an `ArrayHashMap` instead of a `HashMap` so that we can
iterate over the entries in `flushModule` and finalize the forward decl
DITypes into full DITypes.
`DITypeMap` now stores `AnnotatedDITypePtr` values instead of
`*DIType` values. This is an abstraction around a `usize` which assumes
the pointers will be at least 2 bytes aligned and uses the least
significant bit to store whether it is forward decl or a fully resolved
debug info type.
`lowerDebugTypeImpl` is extracted out from `lowerDebugType` and it has a
mechanism for completing a forward decl DIType to a fully resolved one.
The function now contains lowering for struct types. Closes#11095.
There is a workaround for struct types which have not had
`resolveFieldTypes` called in Sema, even by the time `flushModule` is
called. This is a deficiency of Sema that should be addressed, and the
workaround removed. I think Sema needs a new mechanism to queue up type
resolution work instead of doing it in-line, so that it does not cause
false dependency loops. We already have one failing behavior test
because of a false dependency loop.
