Sema: return undefined on comparison of runtime value against undefined
2024-09-17Sema: clean up cmpNumericmlugg
There is one minor language change here, which is that comparisons of the form `comptime_inf < runtime_f32` have their results comptime-known. This is consistent with comparisons against comptime NaN for instance, which are always comptime known. A corresponding behavior test is added. This fixes a bug with int comparison elision which my previous commit somehow triggered. `Sema.compareIntsOnlyPossibleResult` is much cleaner now!

2024-09-01Air: add explicit `repeat` instruction to repeat loopsmlugg
This commit introduces a new AIR instruction, `repeat`, which causes control flow to move back to the start of a given AIR loop. `loop` instructions will no longer automatically perform this operation after control flow reaches the end of the body. The motivation for making this change now was really just consistency with the upcoming implementation of #8220: it wouldn't make sense to have this feature work significantly differently. However, there were already some TODOs kicking around which wanted this feature. It's useful for two key reasons: * It allows loops over AIR instruction bodies to loop precisely until they reach a `noreturn` instruction. This allows for tail calling a few things, and avoiding a range check on each iteration of a hot path, plus gives a nice assertion that validates AIR structure a little. This is a very minor benefit, which this commit does apply to the LLVM and C backends. * It should allow for more compact ZIR and AIR to be emitted by having AstGen emit `repeat` instructions more often rather than having `continue` statements `break` to a `block` which is *followed* by a `repeat`. This is done in status quo because `repeat` instructions only ever cause the direct parent block to repeat. Now that AIR is more flexible, this flexibility can be pretty trivially extended to ZIR, and we can then emit better ZIR. This commit does not implement this. Support for this feature is currently regressed on all self-hosted native backends, including x86_64. This support will be added where necessary before this branch is merged.
2024-09-01Air: direct representation of ranges in switch casesmlugg
This commit modifies the representation of the AIR `switch_br` instruction to represent ranges in cases. Previously, Sema emitted different AIR in the case of a range, where the `else` branch of the `switch_br` contained a simple `cond_br` for each such case which did a simple range check (`x > a and x < b`). Not only does this add complexity to Sema, which we would like to minimize, but it also gets in the way of the implementation of #8220. That proposal turns certain `switch` statements into a looping construct, and for optimization purposes, we want to lower this to AIR fairly directly (i.e. without involving a `loop` instruction). That means we would ideally like a single instruction to represent the entire `switch` statement, so that we can dispatch back to it with a different operand as in #8220. This is not really possible to do correctly under the status quo system. This commit implements lowering of this new `switch_br` usage in the LLVM and C backends. The C backend just turns any case containing ranges entirely into conditionals, as before. The LLVM backend is a little smarter, and puts scalar items into the `switch` instruction, only using conditionals for the range cases (which direct to the same bb). All remaining self-hosted backends are temporarily regressed in the presence of switch range cases. This functionality will be restored for at least the x86_64 backend before merge.

2024-08-28implement code coverage instrumentation manuallyAndrew Kelley
instead of relying on the LLVM sancov pass. The LLVM pass is still executed if trace_pc_guard is requested, disabled otherwise. The LLVM backend emits the instrumentation directly. It uses `__sancov_pcs1` symbol name instead of `__sancov_pcs` because each element is 1 usize instead of 2. AIR: add CoveragePoint to branch hints which indicates whether those branches are interesting for code coverage purposes. Update libfuzzer to use the new instrumentation. It's simplified since we no longer need the constructor and the pcs are now in a continguous list. This is a regression in the fuzzing functionality because the instrumentation for comparisons is no longer emitted, resulting in worse fuzzer inputs generated. A future commit will add that instrumentation back.
2024-08-28std: update `std.builtin.Type` fields to follow naming conventionsmlugg
The compiler actually doesn't need any functional changes for this: Sema does reification based on the tag indices of `std.builtin.Type` already! So, no zig1.wasm update is necessary. This change is necessary to disallow name clashes between fields and decls on a type, which is a prerequisite of #9938.
2024-08-27compiler,lib,test,langref: migrate `@setCold` to `@branchHint`mlugg
2024-08-27compiler: implement `@branchHint`, replacing `@setCold`mlugg
Implements the accepted proposal to introduce `@branchHint`. This builtin is permitted as the first statement of a block if that block is the direct body of any of the following: * a function (*not* a `test`) * either branch of an `if` * the RHS of a `catch` or `orelse` * a `switch` prong * an `or` or `and` expression It lowers to the ZIR instruction `extended(branch_hint(...))`. When Sema encounters this instruction, it sets `sema.branch_hint` appropriately, and `zirCondBr` etc are expected to reset this value as necessary. The state is on `Sema` rather than `Block` to make it automatically propagate up non-conditional blocks without special handling. If `@panic` is reached, the branch hint is set to `.cold` if none was already set; similarly, error branches get a hint of `.unlikely` if no hint is explicitly provided. If a condition is comptime-known, `cold` hints from the taken branch are allowed to propagate up, but other hints are discarded. This is because a `likely`/`unlikely` hint just indicates the direction this branch is likely to go, which is redundant information when the branch is known at comptime; but `cold` hints indicate that control flow is unlikely to ever reach this branch, meaning if the branch is always taken from its parent, then the parent is also unlikely to ever be reached. This branch information is stored in AIR `cond_br` and `switch_br`. In addition, `try` and `try_ptr` instructions have variants `try_cold` and `try_ptr_cold` which indicate that the error case is cold (rather than just unlikely); this is reachable through e.g. `errdefer unreachable` or `errdefer @panic("")`. A new API `unwrapSwitch` is introduced to `Air` to make it more convenient to access `switch_br` instructions. In time, I plan to update all AIR instructions to be accessed via an `unwrap` method which returns a convenient tagged union a la `InternPool.indexToKey`. The LLVM backend lowers branch hints for conditional branches and switches as follows: * If any branch is marked `unpredictable`, the instruction is marked `!unpredictable`. * Any branch which is marked as `cold` gets a `llvm.assume(i1 true) [ "cold"() ]` call to mark the code path cold. * If any branch is marked `likely` or `unlikely`, branch weight metadata is attached with `!prof`. Likely branches get a weight of 2000, and unlikely branches a weight of 1. In `switch` statements, un-annotated branches get a weight of 1000 as a "middle ground" hint, since there could be likely *and* unlikely *and* un-annotated branches. For functions, a `cold` hint corresponds to the `cold` function attribute, and other hints are currently ignored -- as far as I can tell LLVM doesn't really have a way to lower them. (Ideally, we would want the branch hint given in the function to propagate to call sites.) The compiler and standard library do not yet use this new builtin. Resolves: #21148

2024-08-25sema: clean-up `{union,struct}FieldAlignment` and friendsDavid Rubin
My main gripes with this design were that it was incorrectly namespaced, the naming was inconsistent and a bit wrong (`fooAlign` vs `fooAlignment`). This commit moves all the logic from `PerThread.zig` to use the zcu + tid system that the previous couple commits introduce. I've organized and merged the functions to be a bit more specific to their own purpose. - `fieldAlignment` takes a struct or union type, an index, and a Zcu (or the Sema version which takes a Pt), and gives you the alignment of the field at the index. - `structFieldAlignment` takes the field type itself, and provides the logic to handle special cases, such as externs. A design goal I had in mind was to avoid using the word 'struct' in the function name, when it worked for things that aren't structs, such as unions.

2024-08-21compiler: handle eval branch quota in memoized callsmlugg
In a `memoized_call`, store how many backwards braches the call performs. Add this to `sema.branch_count` when using a memoized call. If this exceeds the quota, perform a non-memoized call to get a correct "exceeded X backwards branches" error. Also, do not memoize calls which do `@setEvalBranchQuota` or similar, as this affects global state which must apply to the caller. Change some eval branch quotas so that the compiler itself still builds correctly. This commit manually changes a file in Aro which is automatically generated. The sources which generate the file are not in this repo. Upstream Aro should make the suitable changes on their end before the next sync of Aro sources into the Zig repo.

2024-08-19fix various issues related to Path handling in the compiler and stdRobin Voetter
A compilation build step for which the binary is not required could not be compiled previously. There were 2 issues that caused this: - The compiler communicated only the results of the emitted binary and did not properly communicate the result if the binary was not emitted. This is fixed by communicating the final hash of the artifact path (the hash of the corresponding /o/<hash> directory) and communicating this instead of the entire path. This changes the zig build --listen protocol to communicate hashes instead of paths, and emit_bin_path is accordingly renamed to emit_digest. - There was an error related to the default llvm object path when CacheUse.Whole was selected. I'm not really sure why this didn't manifest when the binary is also emitted. This was fixed by improving the path handling related to flush() and emitLlvmObject(). In general, this commit also improves some of the path handling throughout the compiler and standard library.
2024-08-18Zir: add instructions to fetch std.builtin typesmlugg
This replaces the constant `Zir.Inst.Ref` tags (and the analagous tags in `Air.Inst.Ref`, `InternPool.Index`) referring to types in `std.builtin` with a ZIR instruction `extended(builtin_type(...))` which instructs Sema to fetch such a type, effectively as if it were a shorthand for the ZIR for `@import("std").builtin.xyz`. Previously, this was achieved through constant tags in `Ref`. The analagous `InternPool` indices began as `simple_type` values, and were later rewritten to the correct type information. This system was kind of brittle, and more importantly, isn't compatible with incremental compilation of std, since incremental compilation relies on the ability to recreate types at different indices when they change. Replacing the old system with this instruction slightly increases the size of ZIR, but it simplifies logic and allows incremental compilation to work correctly on the standard library. This shouldn't have a significant impact on ZIR size or compiler performance, but I will take measurements in the PR to confirm this.
2024-08-18frontend: removed resolved IES data for outdated functionsmlugg
Without this, incremental updates which would change inferred error sets fail, since they assume the IES is resolved and equals the old set, resulting in false positive compile errors when e.g. coercing to an IES.

2024-08-17frontend: incremental compilation progressmlugg
Another big commit, sorry! This commit makes all fixes necessary for incremental updates of the compiler itself (specifically, adding a breakpoint to `zirCompileLog`) to succeed, at least on the frontend. The biggest change here is a reform to how types are handled. It works like this: * When a type is first created in `zirStructDecl` etc, its namespace is scanned. If the type requires resolution, an `interned` dependency is declared for the containing `AnalUnit`. * `zirThis` also declared an `interned` dependency for its `AnalUnit` on the namespace's owner type. * If the type's namespace changes, the surrounding source declaration changes hash, so `zirStructDecl` etc will be hit again. We check whether the namespace has been scanned this generation, and re-scan it if not. * Namespace lookups also check whether the namespace in question requires a re-scan based on the generation. This is because there's no guarantee that the `zirStructDecl` is re-analyzed before the namespace lookup is re-analyzed. * If a type's structure (essentially its fields) change, then the type's `Cau` is considered outdated. When the type is re-analyzed due to being outdated, or the `zirStructDecl` is re-analyzed by being transitively outdated, or a corresponding `zirThis` is re-analyzed by being transitively outdated, the struct type is recreated at a new `InternPool` index. The namespace's owner is updated (but not re-scanned, since that is handled by the mechanisms above), and the old type, while remaining a valid `Index`, is removed from the map metadata so it will never be found by lookups. `zirStructDecl` and `zirThis` store an `interned` dependency on the *new* type.
