stage2: inferred local variables
This patch introduces the following new things: Types: - inferred_alloc - This is a special value that tracks a set of types that have been stored to an inferred allocation. It does not support most of the normal type queries. However it does respond to `isConstPtr`, `ptrSize`, `zigTypeTag`, etc. - The payload for this type simply points to the corresponding Value payload. Values: - inferred_alloc - This is a special value that tracks a set of types that have been stored to an inferred allocation. It does not support any of the normal value queries. ZIR instructions: - store_to_inferred_ptr, - Same as `store` but the type of the value being stored will be used to infer the pointer type. - resolve_inferred_alloc - Each `store_to_inferred_ptr` puts the type of the stored value into a set, and then `resolve_inferred_alloc` triggers peer type resolution on the set. The operand is a `alloc_inferred` or `alloc_inferred_mut` instruction, which is the allocation that needs to have its type inferred. Changes to the C backend: * Implements the bitcast instruction. If the source and dest types are both pointers, uses a cast, otherwise uses memcpy. * Tests are run with -Wno-declaration-after-statement. Someday we can conform to this but not today. In ZIR form it looks like this: ```zir fn_body main { // unanalyzed %0 = dbg_stmt() =>%1 = alloc_inferred() %2 = declval_in_module(Decl(add)) %3 = deref(%2) %4 = param_type(%3, 0) %5 = const(TypedValue{ .ty = comptime_int, .val = 1}) %6 = as(%4, %5) %7 = param_type(%3, 1) %8 = const(TypedValue{ .ty = comptime_int, .val = 2}) %9 = as(%7, %8) %10 = call(%3, [%6, %9], modifier=auto) =>%11 = store_to_inferred_ptr(%1, %10) =>%12 = resolve_inferred_alloc(%1) %13 = dbg_stmt() %14 = ret_type() %15 = const(TypedValue{ .ty = comptime_int, .val = 3}) %16 = sub(%10, %15) %17 = as(%14, %16) %18 = return(%17) } // fn_body main ``` I have not played around with very many test cases yet. Some interesting ones that I want to look at before merging: ```zig var x = blk: { var y = foo(); y.a = 1; break :blk y; }; ``` In the above test case, x and y are supposed to alias. ```zig var x = if (bar()) blk: { var y = foo(); y.a = 1; break :blk y; } else blk: { var z = baz(); z.b = 1; break :blk z; }; ``` In the above test case, x, y, and z are supposed to alias. I also haven't tested with `var` instead of `const` yet.
