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
* bring `construct_linker_job_macho` to parity with
`construct_linker_job_elf`
* macho now sets `-error-limit`
* macho on macOS now sets `-macosx_version_min` and `-sdk_version`
to `10.13` when running `zig0`
* macho now detects when `-l` prefix is not needed
* macho on macOS detects system libraries in a case-insensitive manner
* macho now ads user-specified libraries to linker command-line args
when condition `is_native_os != true`
* re-ordered some macho args positions to match elf positions
closes#5059closes#5067
* 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.
Otherwise, the behaviour can lead to unexpected results, resulting
in removing an entire tree that's not necessarily under the root.
Furthermore, this change is needed if are to properly handle dir
symlinks on Windows. Without explicitly requiring that a directory
or file is opened with `FILE_OPEN_REPARSE_POINT`, Windows automatically
dereferences all symlinks along the way. This commit adds another
option to `OpenDirOptions`, namely `.no_follow`, which defaults to
`false` and can be used to specifically open a directory symlink on
Windows or call `openat` with `O_NOFOLLOW` flag in POSIX.
This way `std.fs.symlinkAbsolute` becomes cross-platform and we can
legally include `SymlinkFlags` as an argument that's only used on
Windows. Also, now `std.os.symlink` generates a compile error on
Windows with a message to instead use `std.os.windows.CreateSymbolicLink`.
Finally, this PR also reshuffles the tests between `std.os.test` and
`std.fs.test`.
