* Remove some unused imports in AstGen.zig. I think it would make sense
to start decoupling AstGen from the rest of the compiler code,
similar to how the tokenizer and parser are decoupled.
* AstGen: For decls, move the block_inline instructions to the top of
the function so that they get lower ZIR instruction indexes. With
this, the block_inline instruction index combined with its corresponding
break_inline instruction index can be used to form a ZIR instruction
range. This is useful for allocating an array to map ZIR instructions
to semantically analyzed instructions.
* Module: extract emit-h functionality into a struct, and only allocate
it when emit-h is activated.
* Module: remove the `decl_table` field. This previously was a table of
all Decls in the entire Module. A "name hash" strategy was used to
find decls within a given namespace, using this global table. Now,
each Namespace has its own map of name to children Decls.
- Additionally, there were 3 places that relied on iterating over
decl_table in order to function:
- C backend and SPIR-V backend. These now have their own decl_table
that they keep populated when `updateDecl` and `removeDecl` are
called.
- emit-h. A `decl_table` field has been added to the new GlobalEmitH
struct which is only allocated when emit-h is activated.
* Module: fix ZIR serialization/deserialization bug in debug mode having
to do with the secret safety tag for untagged unions. There is still an
open TODO to investigate a friendlier solution to this problem with
the language.
* Module: improve deserialization of ZIR to allocate only exactly as
much capacity as length in the instructions array so as to not waste
space.
* Module: move `srcHashEql` to `std.zig` to live next to the definition
of `SrcHash` itself.
* Module: re-introduce the logic for scanning top level declarations
within a namespace.
* Compilation: add an `analyze_pkg` Job which is used to kick off the
start of semantic analysis by doing the equivalent of
`_ = @import("std");`. The `analyze_pkg` job is unconditionally added
to the work queue on every update(), with pkg set to the std lib pkg.
* Rename TZIR to AIR in a few places. A more comprehensive rename will
come later.
This type is not widely applicable enough to be a public part of the
public interface of the std.
The current implementation in only fully utilized by the zig fmt
implementation, which could benefit by even tighter integration as
will be demonstrated in the next commit. Therefore, move the current
io.AutoIndentingStream to lib/std/zig/render.zig.
The C backend of the self hosted compiler also use this type currently,
but it does not require anywhere near its full complexity. Therefore,
implement a greatly simplified version of this interface in
src/codegen/c.zig.
* std.ArrayList gains `moveToUnmanaged` and dead code
`ArrayListUnmanaged.appendWrite` is deleted.
* emit_h state is attached to Module rather than Compilation.
* remove the implementation of emit-h because it did not properly
integrate with incremental compilation. I will re-implement it
in a follow-up commit.
* Compilation: use the .codegen_failure tag rather than
.dependency_failure tag for when `bin_file.updateDecl` fails.
C backend:
* Use a CValue tagged union instead of strings for C values.
* Cleanly separate state into Object and DeclGen:
- Object is present only when generating a .c file
- DeclGen is present for both generating a .c and .h
* Move some functions into their respective Object/DeclGen namespace.
* Forward decls are managed by the incremental compilation frontend; C
backend no longer renders function signatures based on callsites.
For simplicity, all functions always get forward decls.
* Constants are managed by the incremental compilation frontend. C
backend no longer has a "constants" section.
* Participate in incremental compilation. Each Decl gets an ArrayList
for its generated C code and it is updated when the Decl is updated.
During flush(), all these are joined together in the output file.
* The new CValue tagged union is used to clean up using of assigning to
locals without an additional pointer local.
* Fix bug with bitcast of non-pointers making the memcpy destination
immutable.
* CBE buffers are only valid during a flush()
* the file is reopened and truncated during each flush()
* CBE now explicitly ignores updateDecl and deleteDecl
* CBE updateDecl is gone
* test case is enabled
* Module: improve doc comments
* C backend: improve const-correctness
* C backend: introduce renderTypeAndName
* C backend: put `static` on functions when appropriate
* C backend: fix not handling errors in genBinOp
* C backend: handle more IR instructions
- alloc, store, boolean comparisons, ret_ptr
* C backend: call instruction properly stores its result
* test harness: ensure execution tests have empty stderr
The addition of `addDeclErr` introduced a memory leak at every call
site, and I also would like to push back on having more than 1
compilation error per `Decl`.
This reverts commit 1634d45f1d53c8d7bfefa56ab4d2fa4cc8218b6d.
