During codegen we do not yet know the indexes that will be used for
called functions. Therefore, we store the offset into the in-memory
code where the index is needed with a pointer to the Decl and use this
data to insert the proper indexes while writing the binary in the flush
function.
We still want this compile error but I'm giving up on implementing it
correctly in stage1. It's been buggy and has false positives sometimes.
I left the test cases there, but commented out, so that when we go
through the stage1 compile error cases and get coverage for them in
stage2 we can reactivate the test cases.
closes#2154
* 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
closes#6021
Previously, `unsigned` was parsed as the shorthand for `unsigned int`.
This commit introduces code to parse `unsigned short`, `unsigned int`,
`unsigned long`, and `unsigned long long`.
There is a comment in the code about std.c.parse` - Im not
familiar with zig internals, but it seems like this is a separate
C parsing implementation. In the long run, it probably makes
sense to merge both implementations, so this commit should be
regarded as a quick fix that doesn't address an apparently
underlying issue.
This commit makes it possible to obtain pointers to `extern` variables
at comptime.
- `ir_get_var_ptr` employs several checks to determine if the given
variable is eligible for obtaining its pointer at comptime. This
commit alters these checks to consider `extern` variables, which have
runtime values, as eligible.
- After this change, it's now possible for `render_const_val` to be
called for `extern` variables. This commit modifies
`render_const_val` to suppress the value generation for `extern`
variables.
- `do_code_gen` now creates `ZigValue::llvm_global` of `extern`
variables before iterating through module-level variables so that
other module-level variables can refer to them.
This solution is incomplete since there are several cases still
failing:
- `global_var.array[n..m]`
- `&global_var.array[i]`
- `&global_var.inner_struct.value`
- `&global_array[i]`
Closes#5349
* AST: flatten ControlFlowExpression into Continue, Break, and Return.
* AST: unify identifiers and literals into the same AST type: OneToken
* AST: ControlFlowExpression uses TrailerFlags to optimize storage
space.
* astgen: support `var` as well as `const` locals, and support
explicitly typed locals. Corresponding Module and codegen code is not
implemented yet.
* astgen: support result locations.
* ZIR: add the following instructions (see the corresponding doc
comments for explanations of semantics):
- alloc
- alloc_inferred
- bitcast_result_ptr
- coerce_result_block_ptr
- coerce_result_ptr
- coerce_to_ptr_elem
- ensure_result_used
- ensure_result_non_error
- ret_ptr
- ret_type
- store
- param_type
* the skeleton structure for result locations is set up. It's looking
pretty clean so far.
* add compile error for unused result and compile error for discarding
errors.
* astgen: split builtin calls up to implemented manually, and implement
`@as`, `@bitCast` (and others) with respect to result locations.
* add CLI support for hex and raw object formats. They are not
supported by the self-hosted compiler yet, and emit errors.
* rename `--c` CLI to `-ofmt=[objectformat]` which can be any of the
object formats. Only ELF and C are supported so far. Also added missing
help to the help text.
* Remove hard tabs from C backend test cases. Shame on you Noam, you
are grounded, you should know better, etc. Bad boy.
* Delete C backend code and test case that relied on comptime_int
incorrectly making it all the way to codegen.
