* When storing a zero-bit type, we should short-circuit almost
immediately. Zero-bit stores do not need to do any work.
* The bit size computation for arrays is incorrect; the `abiSize` will
already be appropriately aligned, but the logic to do so here
incorrectly assumes that zero-bit types have an alignment of 0. They
don't; their alignment is 1.

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.

- implements `airSlice`, `airBitAnd`, `airBitOr`, `airShr`.
- got a basic design going for the `airErrorName` but for some reason it simply returns
empty bytes. will investigate further.
- only generating `.got.zig` entries when not compiling an object or shared library
- reduced the total amount of ops a mnemonic can have to 3, simplifying the logic

We've got a big one here! This commit reworks how we represent pointers
in the InternPool, and rewrites the logic for loading and storing from
them at comptime.
Firstly, the pointer representation. Previously, pointers were
represented in a highly structured manner: pointers to fields, array
elements, etc, were explicitly represented. This works well for simple
cases, but is quite difficult to handle in the cases of unusual
reinterpretations, pointer casts, offsets, etc. Therefore, pointers are
now represented in a more "flat" manner. For types without well-defined
layouts -- such as comptime-only types, automatic-layout aggregates, and
so on -- we still use this "hierarchical" structure. However, for types
with well-defined layouts, we use a byte offset associated with the
pointer. This allows the comptime pointer access logic to deal with
reinterpreted pointers far more gracefully, because the "base address"
of a pointer -- for instance a `field` -- is a single value which
pointer accesses cannot exceed since the parent has undefined layout.
This strategy is also more useful to most backends -- see the updated
logic in `codegen.zig` and `codegen/llvm.zig`. For backends which do
prefer a chain of field and elements accesses for lowering pointer
values, such as SPIR-V, there is a helpful function in `Value` which
creates a strategy to derive a pointer value using ideally only field
and element accesses. This is actually more correct than the previous
logic, since it correctly handles pointer casts which, after the dust
has settled, end up referring exactly to an aggregate field or array
element.
In terms of the pointer access code, it has been rewritten from the
ground up. The old logic had become rather a mess of special cases being
added whenever bugs were hit, and was still riddled with bugs. The new
logic was written to handle the "difficult" cases correctly, the most
notable of which is restructuring of a comptime-only array (for
instance, converting a `[3][2]comptime_int` to a `[2][3]comptime_int`.
Currently, the logic for loading and storing work somewhat differently,
but a future change will likely improve the loading logic to bring it
more in line with the store strategy. As far as I can tell, the rewrite
has fixed all bugs exposed by #19414.
As a part of this, the comptime bitcast logic has also been rewritten.
Previously, bitcasts simply worked by serializing the entire value into
an in-memory buffer, then deserializing it. This strategy has two key
weaknesses: pointers, and undefined values. Representations of these
values at comptime cannot be easily serialized/deserialized whilst
preserving data, which means many bitcasts would become runtime-known if
pointers were involved, or would turn `undefined` values into `0xAA`.
The new logic works by "flattening" the datastructure to be cast into a
sequence of bit-packed atomic values, and then "unflattening" it; using
serialization when necessary, but with special handling for `undefined`
values and for pointers which align in virtual memory. The resulting
code is definitely slower -- more on this later -- but it is correct.
The pointer access and bitcast logic required some helper functions and
types which are not generally useful elsewhere, so I opted to split them
into separate files `Sema/comptime_ptr_access.zig` and
`Sema/bitcast.zig`, with simple re-exports in `Sema.zig` for their small
public APIs.
Whilst working on this branch, I caught various unrelated bugs with
transitive Sema errors, and with the handling of `undefined` values.
These bugs have been fixed, and corresponding behavior test added.
In terms of performance, I do anticipate that this commit will regress
performance somewhat, because the new pointer access and bitcast logic
is necessarily more complex. I have not yet taken performance
measurements, but will do shortly, and post the results in this PR. If
the performance regression is severe, I will do work to to optimize the
new logic before merge.

This commit changes how we represent comptime-mutable memory
(`comptime var`) in the compiler in order to implement the intended
behavior that references to such memory can only exist at comptime.
It does *not* clean up the representation of mutable values, improve the
representation of comptime-known pointers, or fix the many bugs in the
comptime pointer access code. These will be future enhancements.
Comptime memory lives for the duration of a single Sema, and is not
permitted to escape that one analysis, either by becoming runtime-known
or by becoming comptime-known to other analyses. These restrictions mean
that we can represent comptime allocations not via Decl, but with state
local to Sema - specifically, the new `Sema.comptime_allocs` field. All
comptime-mutable allocations, as well as any comptime-known const allocs
containing references to such memory, live in here. This allows for
relatively fast checking of whether a value references any
comptime-mtuable memory, since we need only traverse values up to
pointers: pointers to Decls can never reference comptime-mutable memory,
and pointers into `Sema.comptime_allocs` always do.
This change exposed some faulty pointer access logic in `Value.zig`.
I've fixed the important cases, but there are some TODOs I've put in
which are definitely possible to hit with sufficiently esoteric code. I
plan to resolve these by auditing all direct accesses to pointers (most
of them ought to use Sema to perform the pointer access!), but for now
this is sufficient for all realistic code and to get tests passing.
This change eliminates `Zcu.tmp_hack_arena`, instead using the Sema
arena for comptime memory mutations, which is possible since comptime
memory is now local to the current Sema.
This change should allow `Decl` to store only an `InternPool.Index`
rather than a full-blown `ty: Type, val: Value`. This commit does not
perform this refactor.

Let's take this breaking change opportunity to fix the style of this
enum.
|
|
|
|
Some tests are now failing due to debug info changes, some tests
now pass due to improved compiler functionality.
|

Updated the tests to also run at runtime, and moved them to union.zig

My previous change for reading / writing to unions at comptime did not handle
union field read/writes correctly in all cases. Previously, if a field was
written to a union, it would overwrite the entire value. This is problematic
when a field of a larger size is subsequently read, because the value would not
be long enough, causing a panic.
Additionally, the writing behaviour itself was incorrect. Writing to a field of
a packed or extern union should only overwrite the bits corresponding to that
field, allowing for memory reintepretation via field writes / reads.
I addressed these problems as follows:
Add the concept of a "backing type" for extern / packed unions
(`Type.unionBackingType`). For extern unions, this is a `u8` array, for packed
unions it's an integer matching the `bitSize` of the union. Whenever union
memory is read at comptime, it's read as this type.
When union memory is written at comptime, the tag may still be known. If so, the
memory is written using the tagged type. If the tag is unknown (because this
union had previously been read from memory), it's simply written back out as the
backing type.
I added `write_packed` to the `reinterpret` field of
`ComptimePtrMutationKit`. This causes writes of the operand to be packed - which
is necessary when writing to a field of a packed union. Without this, writing a
value to a `u1` field would overwrite the entire byte it occupied.
The final case to address was reading a different (potentially larger) field
from a union when it was written with a known tag. To handle this, a new kind of
bitcast was introduced (`bitCastUnionFieldVal`) which supports reading a larger
field by using a backing buffer that has the unwritten bits set to
undefined. The reason to support this (vs always just writing the union as it's
backing type), is that no reads to larger fields ever occur at comptime, it
would be strictly worse to have spent time writing the full backing type.

sema: add support for unions in readFromMemory and writeToMemory
|
|
|
|
When the tag is not known, it's set to `.none`. In this case, the value is either an
array of bytes (for extern unions) or an integer (for packed unions).
|
|
|
|
Some new behavior tests have recently been added, and not all of these
pass with the SPIR-V backend.
|
|
|
|
Most of this migration was performed automatically with `zig fmt`. There
were a few exceptions which I had to manually fix:
* `@alignCast` and `@addrSpaceCast` cannot be automatically rewritten
* `@truncate`'s fixup is incorrect for vectors
* Test cases are not formatted, and their error locations change

It doesn't matter if a pointer to a zero-bit (i.e. OPV) type is
undefined or runtime-known; we still know the result of the dereference
at comptime. Code may use this, for instance, when allocating zero-bit
types: `@as(*void, undefined)` is entirely reasonable to use at runtime,
since we know the pointer will never be accessed, thus it should be
valid at comptime too.
|
|
Previously, if you had a pointer to multiple array elements and tried to
write to it at comptime, it was incorrectly treated as a pointer to one
specific array value, leading to an assertion down the line. If we try
to mutate a value at an elem_ptr larger than the element type, we need
to perform a modification to multiple array elements.
This solution isn't ideal, since it will result in storePtrVal
serializing the whole array, modifying the relevant parts, and storing
it back. Ideally, it would only take the required elements. However,
this change would have been more complex, and this is a fairly rare
operation (nobody ever ran into the bug before after all), so it doesn't
matter all that much.

This commit updates stage2 to enforce the property that the syntax
`fn()void` is a function *body* not a *pointer*. To get a pointer, the
syntax `*const fn()void` is required.
ZIR puts function alignment into the func instruction rather than the
decl because this way it makes it into function types. LLVM backend
respects function alignments.
Struct and Union have methods `fieldSrcLoc` to help look up source
locations of their fields. These trigger full loading, tokenization, and
parsing of source files, so should only be called once it is confirmed
that an error message needs to be printed.
There are some nice new error hints for explaining why a type is
required to be comptime, particularly for structs that contain function
body types.
`Type.requiresComptime` is now moved into Sema because it can fail and
might need to trigger field type resolution. Comptime pointer loading
takes into account types that do not have a well-defined memory layout
and does not try to compute a byte offset for them.
`fn()void` syntax no longer secretly makes a pointer. You get a function
body type, which requires comptime. However a pointer to a function body
can be runtime known (obviously).
Compile errors that report "expected pointer, found ..." are factored
out into convenience functions `checkPtrOperand` and `checkPtrType` and
have a note about function pointers.
Implemented `Value.hash` for functions, enum literals, and undefined values.
stage1 is not updated to this (yet?), so some workarounds and disabled
tests are needed to keep everything working. Should we update stage1 to
these new type semantics? Yes probably because I don't want to add too
much conditional compilation logic in the std lib for the different
backends.
