* `@truncate` builtin allows casting to the same size integer.
It also performs two's complement casting between signed and
unsigned integers.
* The idiomatic way to convert between bytes and numbers is now
`mem.readInt` and `mem.writeInt` instead of an unsafe cast.
It works at compile time, is safer, and looks cleaner.
* Implicitly casting an array to a slice is allowed only if the
slice is const.
* Constant pointer values know if their memory is from a compile-
time constant value or a compile-time variable.
* Cast from [N]u8 to []T no longer allowed, but [N]u8 to []const T
still allowed.
* Fix inability to pass a mutable pointer to comptime variable at
compile-time to a function and have the function modify the
memory pointed to by the pointer.
* Add the `comptime T: type` parameter back to mem.eql. Prevents
accidentally creating instantiations for arrays.
* add `@compileLog(...)` builtin function
- Helps debug code running at compile time
- See #240
* fix crash when there is an error on the start value of a slice
* add implicit cast from int and float types to int and float
literals if the value is known at compile time
* make array concatenation work with slices in addition to
arrays and c string literals
* fix compile error message for something not having field access
* fix crash when `@setDebugSafety()` was called from a
function being evaluated at compile-time
* fix compile-time evaluation of overflow math builtins.
* avoid debug safety panic handler in builtin.o and compiler_rt.o
since we use no debug safety in these modules anyway
* add compiler_rt functions for division on ARM
- Closes#254
* move default panic handler to std.debug so users can
call it manually
* std.io.printf supports a width in the format specifier
remove "unnecessary if statement" error
this "depends on compile variable" code is too hard to validate,
and has false negatives. not worth it right now.
std.str removed, instead use std.mem.
std.mem.eql and std.mem.sliceEql merged and do not require explicit
type argument.
* add `setFnTest`, `setFnVisible`, `setFnStaticEval`,
`setFnNoInline` builtin functions to replace previous
directive functionality
* add `coldcc` and `nakedcc` as keywords which can be used as part
of a function prototype.
* `setDebugSafety` builtin can be used to set debug safety features
at a per block scope level.
* closes#169
