zig/std/special/compiler_rt
Wink Saville 634d11ab28 Add add compiler_rt routines for float to signed integer conversion
And add std.math.f128_* constants.

The routines are:

  __fixdfdi, __fixdfsi, __fixdfti,
  __fixsfdi, __fixsfsi, __fixsfti,
  __fixtfdi, __fixtfsi, __fixtfti.

These all call fixint which is a generic zig function that does the
conversion:

  pub fn fixint(comptime fp_t: type, comptime fixint_t: type, a: fp_t) fixint_t

There are also a set tests:

  __fixdfdi_test, __fixdfsi_test, __fixdfti_test,
  __fixsfdi_test, __fixsfsi_test, __fixsfti_test,
  __fixtfdi_test, __fixtfsi_test, __fixtfti_test.

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.
