The new representation is often more compact. It is also more straightforward to understand: for instance, `extern` is represented on the `declaration` instruction itself rather than using a special instruction. The same applies to `var`, making both of these far more compact. This commit also separates the type and value bodies of a `declaration` instruction. This is a prerequisite for #131. In general, `declaration` now directly encodes details of the syntax form used, and the embedded ZIR bodies are for actual expressions. The only exception to this is functions, where ZIR is effectively designed as if we had #1717. `extern fn` declarations are modeled as `extern const` with a function type, and normal `fn` definitions are modeled as `const` with a `func{,_fancy,_inferred}` instruction. This may change in the future, but improving on this was out of scope for this commit.
Test Case Quick Reference
Use comments at the end of the file to indicate metadata about the test case. Here are examples of different kinds of tests:
Compile Error Test
If you want it to be run with zig test and match expected error messages:
// error
// is_test=true
//
// :4:13: error: 'try' outside function scope
Execution
This will do zig run on the code and expect exit code 0.
// run
Translate-c
If you want to test translating C code to Zig use translate-c:
// translate-c
// c_frontend=aro,clang
// target=x86_64-linux
//
// pub const foo = 1;
// pub const immediately_after_foo = 2;
//
// pub const somewhere_else_in_the_file = 3:
Run Translated C
If you want to test translating C code to Zig and then executing it use run-translated-c:
// run-translated-c
// c_frontend=aro,clang
// target=x86_64-linux
//
// Hello world!
Incremental Compilation
Make multiple files that have ".", and then an integer, before the ".zig" extension, like this:
hello.0.zig
hello.1.zig
hello.2.zig
Each file can be a different kind of test, such as expecting compile errors, or expecting to be run and exit(0). The test harness will use these to simulate incremental compilation.
At the time of writing there is no way to specify multiple files being changed as part of an update.
Subdirectories
Subdirectories do not have any semantic meaning but they can be used for organization since the test harness will recurse into them. The full directory path will be prepended as a prefix on the test case name.
Limiting which Backends and Targets are Tested
// run
// backend=stage2,llvm
// target=x86_64-linux,x86_64-macos
Possible backends are:
stage1: equivalent to-fstage1.stage2: equivalent to passing-fno-stage1 -fno-LLVM.llvm: equivalent to-fLLVM -fno-stage1.
