Andrew Kelley a71bfc249d compiler-rt: better way to do the ABI required on Windows
This removes the compiler_rt.setXmm0 hack. Instead, for
the functions that use i128 or u128 in their parameter and
return types, we use `@Vector(2, u64)` which generates
the LLVM IR `<2 x i64>` type that matches what Clang
generates for `typedef int ti_int __attribute__ ((mode (TI)))`
when targeting Windows x86_64.

This compiler-rt library is ported from LLVM.

It's needed because LLVM emits library calls to compiler-rt when hardware lacks functionality, for example, 64-bit integer multiplication on 32-bit x86.

This library is automatically built as-needed for the compilation target and then statically linked and therefore is a transparent dependency for the programmer.

Any bugs should be solved by trying to duplicate the bug upstream.

  • If the bug exists upstream, get it fixed with the LLVM team and then port the fix downstream to Zig.
  • If the bug only exists in Zig, something went wrong porting the code, and you can run the C code and Zig code side by side in a debugger to figure out what's happening differently.
