* the .debug_line header is written properly
* link.File.Elf gains:
- SrcFn, which is now a field in Module.Fn
- SrcFile, which is now a field in Module.Scope.File
* link.File.Elf gets a whole *Package field rather than only
root_src_dir_path.
* the fields first_dbg_line_file and last_dbg_line_file tell where the
Line Number Program begins and ends, which alows moving files when
the header gets too big, and allows appending files to the end.
* codegen is passed a buffer for emitting .debug_line
Line Number Program opcodes for functions.
See #5963
There is some work-in-progress code here, but I need to go make some
experimental changes to changing how to represent source locations and I
want to do that in a separate commit.
* multiple returns jump to one canonical function exitlude. This is in
preparation for the defer feature.
* simple elision of trivial jump relocs.
* omit prelude/exitlude for naked calling convention functions.
* fix not switching on arch for prelude/exitlude
* fix swapped registers when setting stack mem from a register
* `optimize_mode` is passed to `link.File` and stored there
* improve the debugging function `Module.dumpInst`
* get rid of `Value.the_one_possible_value` in favor of a few more
specific values for different types. This is less buggy, one less
footgun.
* `Type.onePossibleValue` now returns a `?Value` instead of `bool`.
* codegen handles undefined values. `undef` is a new `MCValue` tag.
It uses 0xaa values depending on optimization mode. However
optimization mode does not yet support scope overrides.
* link.zig: move the `Options` field from `File.Elf` and `File.C` to
the base struct.
- fix the Tag enum to adhere to style conventions
* ZIR now supports emitting undefined values.
* Fix the logic of comptime math to properly compare against zero using
the `compareWithZero` function.
* implement sema for runtime deref, store pointer, coerce_to_ptr_elem,
and store
* identifiers support being lvalues, except for decls is still TODO
* codegen supports load, store, ref, alloc
* introduce more MCValue union tags to support pointers
* add load, ref, store typed IR instructions
* add Type.isVolatilePtr
Comment out non-x86_64 architectures for now in codegen.zig, because
they all have compile errors for their codepaths anyway, and it was
bloating the compilation speed and memory usage when stage1 tried to
build self-hosted. Here's the panic message:
"Backend architectures that don't have good support yet are commented
out, to improve compilation performance. If you are interested in one
of these other backends feel free to uncomment them. Eventually these
will be completed, but stage1 is slow and a memory hog."
This is a workaround to lower the time it takes to build self-hosted
with stage1 as well as use less memory. It should fix the CI.
Additionally:
* Add `single_mut_pointer` support to `Type`
* Trivial implementation of stack allocation in codegen.zig. It does
not deal with freeing yet, and it's missing the stack pointer
adjustment prologue.
* Add the `alloc` IR instruction and semantic analysis for `alloc` ZIR
instruction.
These are now supported enough that this example code hits the
limitations of the register allocator:
fn add(a: u32, b: u32) void {
const c = a + b; // 7
const d = a + c; // 10
const e = d + b; // 14
assert(e == 14);
}
// error: TODO implement copyToNewRegister
So now the next step is to implement register allocation as planned.
In codegen.zig, the std.Target.Cpu.Arch is now generally available as a
comptime value where needed. This is a tradeoff that causes the compiler
binary to be more bloated, but gives us higher performance, since the
optimizer can optimize per architecture (which is usually how compilers
are designed anyway, with different code per-architecture), and it also
allows us to use per-architecture types, such as a Register enum that is
specific to the comptime-known architecture.
Adds abiSize method to Type.
* Take advantage of coercing anonymous struct literals to struct types.
* Reworks Module to favor Zig source as the primary use case.
Breaks ZIR compilation, which will have to be restored in a future commit.
* Decl uses src_index rather then src, pointing to an AST Decl node
index, or ZIR Module Decl index, rather than a byte offset.
* ZIR instructions have an `analyzed_inst` field instead of Module
having a hash table.
* Module.Fn loses the `fn_type` field since it is redundant with
its `owner_decl` `TypedValue` type.
* Implement Type and Value copying. A ZIR Const instruction's TypedValue
is copied to the Decl arena during analysis, which allows freeing the
ZIR text instructions post-analysis.
* Don't flush the ELF file if there are compilation errors.
* Function return types allow arbitrarily complex expressions.
* AST->ZIR for function calls and return statements.
