This is a rewrite of the x25519 code, that generalizes support for
common primitives based on the same finite field.
- Low-level operations can now be performed over the curve25519 and
edwards25519 curves, as well as the ristretto255 group.
- Ed25519 signatures have been implemented.
- X25519 is now about twice as fast.
- mem.timingSafeEqual() has been added for constant-time comparison.
Domains have been clearly separated, making it easier to later add
platform-specific implementations.
This is part of an ongoing effort to reduce size of in-memory AST. This
enum flattening pattern is widespread throughout the self-hosted
compiler.
This is a API breaking change for consumers of the self-hosted parser.
* introduce a dump() function on Module.Fn which helpfully prints to
stderr the ZIR representation of a function (can be called before
attempting to codegen it). This is a debugging tool.
* implement x86 codegen for loops
* liveness: fix analysis of conditional branches. The logic was buggy
in a couple ways:
- it never actually saved the results into the IR instruction (fixed now)
- it incorrectly labeled operands as dying when their true death was
after the conditional branch ended (fixed now)
* zir rendering is enhanced to show liveness analysis results. this
helps when debugging liveness analysis.
* fix bug in zir rendering not numbering instructions correctly

The logging functions in std.log don't take a scope parameter anymore,
but use the .default scope. To provide your own scope, use the logging
functions in std.log.scoped(.some_other_scope).
As per nmichaels' suggestion: https://github.com/ziglang/zig/pull/6039#issuecomment-673148971
`std.os.getFdPath` is very platform-specific and can be used to query
the OS for a canonical path to a file handle. Currently supported hosts
are Linux, macOS and Windows.
`std.fs.Dir.realpath` (and null-terminated, plus WTF16 versions) are
similar to `std.os.realpath`, however, they resolve a path wrt to this
`Dir` instance.
If the input pathname argument turns out to be an absolute path, this
function reverts to calling `realpath` on that pathname completely
ignoring this `Dir`.
* Add short documentation to std.log.scoped and std.log.default
* Update the module documentation and example to explain the difference
between using explicit scopes, using a scoped logging namespace, and
using the default namespace
* Add a std.log.scoped function that returns a scoped logging struct
* Add a std.log.default struct that logs using the .default scope
Implementation of daurnimator's proposal:

Note that I named the function "scoped" instead of "scope" so as not to
clash with the scope parameter that is used everywhere; this seemed a
better solution to me than renaming the scope parameter to "s" or
"log_scope" or the like.
This makes collected stack traces omit less useful frames. For user
applications which only store a fixed number of stack frames this can
make a big difference.
`std.builtin.StackTrace` gains a `format` function.
GeneralPurposeAllocator uses `std.log.err` instead of directly printing
to stderr. Some errors are recoverable.
The test runner is modified to fail the test run if any log messages of
"err" or worse severity are encountered.
self-hosted is modified to always print log messages of "err" severity
or worse even if they have not been explicitly enabled.
This makes GeneralPurposeAllocator available on the freestanding target.
We don't pass no-omit-frame-pointer in release safe by default, so it
also makes sense to not try to collect stack trace frames by default in
release safe mode.
This makes `@returnAddress()` return 0 for WebAssembly (when not using
the Emscripten OS) and avoids trying to capture stack traces for the
general purpose allocator on that target.
The high level Allocator interface API functions will now do a
`@returnAddress()` so that stack traces captured by allocator
implementations have a return address that does not include the
Allocator overhead functions. This makes `4` a more reasonable default
for how many stack frames to capture.
* std.Mutex API is improved to not have init() deinit(). This API is
designed to support static initialization and does not require any
resource cleanup. This also happens to work around some kind of
stage1 behavior that wasn't letting the new allocator mutex code
get compiled.
* the general purpose allocator now returns a bool from deinit()
which tells if there were any leaks. This value is used by the test
runner to fail the tests if there are any.
* self-hosted compiler is updated to use the general purpose allocator
when not linking against libc.
`std.GeneralPurposeAllocator` is now available. It is a function that
takes a configuration struct (with default field values) and returns an
allocator. There is a detailed description of this allocator in the
doc comments at the top of the new file.
The main feature of this allocator is that it is *safe*. It
prevents double-free, use-after-free, and detects leaks.
Some deprecation compile errors are removed.
The Allocator interface gains `old_align` as a new parameter to
`resizeFn`. This is useful to quickly look up allocations.
`std.heap.page_allocator` is improved to use mmap address hints to avoid
obtaining the same virtual address pages when unmapping and mapping
pages. The new general purpose allocator uses the page allocator as its
backing allocator by default.
`std.testing.allocator` is replaced with usage of this new allocator,
which does leak checking, and so the LeakCheckAllocator is retired.
stage1 is improved so that the `@typeInfo` of a pointer has a lazy value
for the alignment of the child type, to avoid false dependency loops
when dealing with pointers to async function frames.
The `std.mem.Allocator` interface is refactored to be in its own file.
`std.Mutex` now exposes the dummy mutex with `std.Mutex.Dummy`.
This allocator is great for debug mode, however it needs some work to
have better performance in release modes. The next step will be setting
up a series of tests in ziglang/gotta-go-fast and then making
improvements to the implementation.
This commit reimagines `std.os.windows.GetFinalPathNameByHandle`
using `DeviceIoControl` to query the OS mount manager for the DOS
(symlink) paths for the given NT volume name. In particular,
it uses `IOCTL_MOUNTMGR_QUERY_POINTS` ioctl opcode to query the
manager for the available moount points.
Favour newer API which uses `NtQueryInformationFile` with class flags
`FileNormalizedNameInformation` and `FileVolumeNameInformation`
instead of lower-level `NtQueryObject`. `NtQueryObject` is still
used as a fallback in case the former are unavailable.
This commit proposes an initial draft of `GetPathNameByHandle` function
which wraps NT syscalls and strives to emulate (currently only
partially) the `kernel32.GetFinalPathNameByHandleW` function.
This reverts commit 11d38a7e520f485206b7b010f64127d864194e4c.
The benefits of this commit are not enough to justify the compromise
that it made.
