Introduce `ResultLoc.none_or_ref` which is used by field access
expressions to avoid unnecessary loads when the field access itself
will do the load. This turns:
```zig
p.y - p.x - p.x
```
from
```zir
%14 = load(%4) node_offset:8:12
%15 = field_val(%14, "y") node_offset:8:13
%16 = load(%4) node_offset:8:18
%17 = field_val(%16, "x") node_offset:8:19
%18 = sub(%15, %17) node_offset:8:16
%19 = load(%4) node_offset:8:24
%20 = field_val(%19, "x") node_offset:8:25
```
to
```zir
%14 = field_val(%4, "y") node_offset:8:13
%15 = field_val(%4, "x") node_offset:8:19
%16 = sub(%14, %15) node_offset:8:16
%17 = field_val(%4, "x") node_offset:8:25
```
Much more compact. This requires `Sema.zirFieldVal` to support both
pointers and non-pointers.
C backend: Implement typedefs for struct types, as well as the following
TZIR instructions:
* mul
* mulwrap
* addwrap
* subwrap
* ref
* struct_field_ptr
Note that add, addwrap, sub, subwrap, mul, mulwrap instructions are all
incorrect currently and need to be updated to properly handle wrapping
and non wrapping for signed and unsigned.
C backend: change indentation delta to 1, to make the output smaller and
to process fewer bytes.
I promise I will add a test case as soon as I fix those warnings that
are being printed for my test case.
GenZir struct now has rl_ty_inst field which tracks the result location
type (if any) a block expects all of its results to be coerced to.
Remove a redundant coercion on const local initialization with a
specified type.
Switch expressions, during elision of store_to_block_ptr instructions,
now re-purpose them to be type coercion when the block has a type in the
result location.
This makes a few changes to the base64 codecs.
* The padding character is optional. The common "URL-safe" variant, in
particular, is generally not used with padding. This is also the case for
password hashes, so having this will avoid code duplication with bcrypt,
scrypt and other functions.
* The URL-safe variant is added. Instead of having individual constants
for each parameter of each variant, we are now grouping these in a
struct. So, `standard_pad_char` just becomes `standard.pad_char`.
* Types are not `snake_case`'d any more. So, `standard_encoder` becomes
`standard.Encoder`, as it is a type.
* Creating a decoder with ignored characters required the alphabet and
padding. Now, `standard.decoderWithIgnore(<ignored chars>)` returns a
decoder with the standard parameters and the set of ignored chars.
* Whatever applies to `standard.*` obviously also works with `url_safe.*`
* the `calcSize()` interface was inconsistent, taking a length in the
encoder, and a slice in the encoder. Rename the variant that takes a
slice to `calcSizeForSlice()`.
* In the decoder with ignored characters, add `calcSizeUpperBound()`,
which is more useful than the one that takes a slice in order to size
a fixed buffer before we have the data.
* Return `error.InvalidCharacter` when the input actually contains
characters that are neither padding nor part of the alphabet. If we
hit a padding issue (which includes extra bits at the end),
consistently return `error.InvalidPadding`.
* Don't keep the `char_in_alphabet` array permanently in a decoder;
it is only required for sanity checks during initialization.
* Tests are unchanged, but now cover both the standard (padded) and
the url-safe (non-padded) variants.
* Add an error set, rename `OutputTooSmallError` to `NoSpaceLeft`
to match the `hex2bin` equivalent.
Also fixed abiAlignment - for pointers it was returning the abi
alignment inside the type, rather than of the pointer itself. There is
now `ptrAlignment` for getting the alignment inside the type of
pointers.
* zir.Code: introduce a decls array. This is so that `decl_val` and
`decl_ref` instructions can refer to a Decl with a u32 and therefore
they can also store a source location. This is needed for proper
compile error reporting.
* astgen uses a hash map to avoid redundantly adding a Decl to the
decls array.
* fixed reporting "instruction illegal outside function body" instead
of the desired message "unable to resolve comptime value".
* astgen skips emitting dbg_stmt instructions in comptime scopes.
* astgen has some logic to avoid adding unnecessary type coercion
instructions for common values.
Introduce "inline" variants of ZIR tags:
* block => block_inline
* repeat => repeat_inline
* break => break_inline
* condbr => condbr_inline
The inline variants perform control flow at compile-time, and they
utilize the return value of `Sema.analyzeBody`.
`analyzeBody` now returns an Index, not a Ref, which is the ZIR index of
a break instruction. This effectively communicates both the intended
break target block as well as the operand, allowing parent blocks to
find out whether they, in turn, should return the break instruction up the
call stack, or accept the operand as the block's result and continue
analyzing instructions in the block.
Additionally:
* removed the deprecated ZIR tag `block_comptime`.
* removed `break_void_node` so that all break instructions use the same Data.
* zir.Code: remove the `root_start` and `root_len` fields. There is now
implied to be a block at index 0 for the root body. This is so that
`break_inline` has something to point at and we no longer need the
special instruction `break_flat`.
* implement source location byteOffset() for .node_offset_if_cond
.node_offset_for_cond is probably redundant and can be deleted.
We don't have `comptime var` supported yet, so this commit adds a test
that at least makes sure the condition is required to be comptime known
for `inline while`.
* comment out the failing stage2 test cases
(so that we can uncomment the ones that are newly passing with
further commits)
* Sema: implement negate, negatewrap
* astgen: implement field access, multiline string literals, and
character literals
* Module: when resolving an AST node into a byte offset, use the
main_tokens array, not the firstToken function
Ensures that if an assignment statement is the sole statement within a
C if statement, for loop, do loop, or do while loop, then when translated
it resides within a block, even though it does not in the original C.
Fixes the following invalid translation:
`if (1) if (1) 2;` -> `if (true) if (true) _ = @as(c_int, 2);`
To this:
```zig
if (true) if (true) {
_ = @as(c_int, 2);
};
```
Fixes#8159
* translate-c: Use [N:0] arrays when initializer is a string literal
Translate incomplete arrays as [N:0] when initialized by a string literal.
This preserves a bit more of the type information from the original C program.
Fixes#8215
Fixes#2820
After reading the source code, the first two bytes are inspected, and
if they correspond to a UTF-16 BOM in little-endian order, the source
code is converted to UTF-8.
Given a pointer operand `ptr` and a signed integer operand `idx`
`ptr + idx` and `idx + ptr` -> ptr + @bitCast(usize, @intCast(isize, idx))
`ptr - idx` -> ptr - @bitCast(usize, @intCast(isize, idx))
Thanks @LemonBoy for pointing out that we can take advantage of wraparound
to dramatically simplify the code.
* Now it supports being an lvalue (see additional lines in the test
case).
* Properly handles a pointer result location (see additional lines in
the test case that assign the result of the orelse to a variable
rather than a const).
* Properly sets the result location type when possible, so that type
inference of an `orelse` operand expression knows its result type.
We can now codegen optionals! This includes the following instructions:
- is_null
- is_null_ptr
- is_non_null
- is_non_null_ptr
- optional_payload
- optional_payload_ptr
- br_void
Also includes a test for optionals.
Add support for OffsetOfExpr that contain exactly 1 component, when that component
is a field.
For example, given:
```c
struct S {
float f;
double d;
};
struct T {
long l;
int i;
struct S s[10];
};
```
Then:
```c
offsetof(struct T, i) // supported
offsetof(struct T, s[2].d) // not supported currently
```
When two pointers are subtracted, both shall point to elements of the
same array object, or one past the last element of the array object;
the result is the difference of the subscripts of the two array elements.
The size of the result is implementation-defined, and its type
(a signed integer type) is ptrdiff_t defined in the <stddef.h> header.
If the result is not representable in an object of that type,
the behavior is undefined.
See C Standard, §6.5.6 [ISO/IEC 9899:2011]
Fixes#7216
If the type is a reference to a global declaration that has not yet
been translated we need to use the global scope for translation
so that other functions can also reference it.
All stage2 tests are passing again in this branch.
Remaining checklist for this branch:
* get the rest of the zig fmt test cases passing
- re-enable the translate-c test case that is blocking on this
* implement the 2 `@panic(TODO)`'s in parse.zig
* use fn_proto not fn_decl for extern function declarations
The previous iteration of translate-c used an incorrect block label
in the break statement for a translated C statement expression. This adds
a test to ensure the correct label is used in the new intermediate AST
version of translate-c.
Starting an async function call is actually a synchronous operation,
since the caller is not awaiting on the callee for a return value.
This commit removes the compiler code which generates the error and
updates the relevant test case.
In the presence of CallModifierAsync, the callee is expected to
suspend, so it should not be changed to CallModifierNoSuspend.
Resuming a suspended async function call is actually a synchronous
operation.
This commit removes the compiler code which generates the error and
updates the relevant test case.
In C, if a function has return type `int` and the return expression
is a boolean expression, there is no implicit cast. Therefore the
translated Zig code needs to call @boolToInt() on the result.

Fixes#6215
The astgen for switch expressions did not respect the ZIR rules of only
referencing instructions that are in scope:
%14 = block_comptime_flat({
%15 = block_comptime_flat({
%16 = const(TypedValue{ .ty = comptime_int, .val = 1})
})
%17 = block_comptime_flat({
%18 = const(TypedValue{ .ty = comptime_int, .val = 2})
})
})
%19 = block({
%20 = ref(%5)
%21 = deref(%20)
%22 = switchbr(%20, [%15, %17], {
%15 => {
%23 = const(TypedValue{ .ty = comptime_int, .val = 1})
%24 = store(%10, %23)
%25 = const(TypedValue{ .ty = void, .val = {}})
%26 = break("label_19", %25)
},
%17 => {
%27 = const(TypedValue{ .ty = comptime_int, .val = 2})
%28 = store(%10, %27)
%29 = const(TypedValue{ .ty = void, .val = {}})
%30 = break("label_19", %29)
}
}, {
%31 = unreachable_safe()
}, special_prong=else)
})
In this snippet you can see that the comptime expr referenced %15 and
%17 which are not in scope. There also was no test coverage for runtime
switch expressions.
Switch expressions will have to be re-introduced to follow these rules
and with some test coverage. There is some usable code being deleted in
this commit; it will be useful to reference when re-implementing switch
later.
A few more improvements to do while we're at it:
* only use .ref result loc on switch target if any prongs obtain the
payload with |*syntax|
- this improvement should be done to if, while, and for as well.
- this will remove the needless ref/deref instructions above
* remove switchbr and add switch_block, which is both a block and a
switch branch.
- similarly we should remove loop and add loop_block.
This commit introduces a "force_comptime" flag into the GenZIR
scope. The main purpose of this will be to choose the "comptime"
variants of certain key zir instructions, such as function calls and
branches. We will be moving away from using the block_comptime_flat
ZIR instruction, and eventually deleting it.
This commit also contains miscellaneous fixes to this branch that bring
it to the state of passing all the tests.
comptime direct slice.len increment dodges bounds checking but
we can emit an error for it, at least in the simple case.
- promote original assert to compile-error
- add test case
closes#7810
Adds support for wide, UTF-16, and UTF-32 string literals. If used to initialize
an incomplete array, the same logic as narrow strings is used. Otherwise they
are translated as global "anonymous" arrays of the relevant underlying char type.
A dot is used in the name to ensure the generated names do not conflict with any
other names in the translated program.
For example:
```c
void my_fn() {
const uint32_t *foo = U"foo";
}
```
becomes:
```zig
const @"zig.UTF32_string_2" = [4]c_uint{
'\u{66}',
'\u{6f}',
'\u{6f}',
0,
};
pub export fn my_fn() void {
var foo: [*c]const u32 = &@"zig.UTF32_string_2";
}
```
1. For incomplete arrays with initializer list (`int x[] = {1};`) use the
initializer size as the array size.
2. For arrays initialized with a string literal translate it as an array
of character literals instead of `[*c]const u8`
3. Don't crash if an empty initializer is used for an incomplete array.
4. Add a test for multi-character character constants
Additionally lay some groundwork for supporting wide string literals.
fixes#4831#7832#7842
The following AST avoids unnecessary derefs now:
* error set decl
* field access
* array access
* for loops: replace ensure_indexable and deref on the len_ptr with a
special purpose ZIR instruction called indexable_ptr_len.
Added an error note when for loop operand is the wrong type.
I also accidentally implemented `@field`.
Add support for L'<wchar_t>', u'<char16_t>', and U'<char32_t>'. Currently
this just translates wide char literals to \u{NNNNNN} escape codes
(e.g. U'💯' -> '\u{1f4af}')
Another approach would be to emit UTF-8 encoded character literals
directly, but in my opinion this approaches Unicode-complete because it
would require knowledge of which Unicode codepoints have graphical
representations for the emitted source to be readable.
We could also just emit integer literals, but the current method makes
it clear that we have translated a wide character literal and not just
an integer constant.
When codegen ends in failure, we need to manually clean up any fixups
that may have been gathered during that `codegen.generateSymbol` call.
Otherwise, we will end trapping.
* Implement error notes
- note: other symbol exported here
- note: previous else prong is here
- note: previous '_' prong is here
* Add Compilation.CObject.ErrorMsg. This object properly converts to
AllErrors.Message when the time comes.
* Add Compilation.CObject.failure_retryable. Properly handles
out-of-memory and other transient failures.
* Introduce Module.SrcLoc which has not only a byte offset but also
references the file which the byte offset applies to.
* Scope.Block now contains both a pointer to the "owner" Decl and the
"source" Decl. As an example, during inline function call, the
"owner" will be the Decl of the caller and the "source" will be the
Decl of the callee.
* Module.ErrorMsg now sports a `file_scope` field so that notes can
refer to source locations in a file other than the parent error
message.
* Some instances where a `*Scope` was stored, now store a
`*Scope.Container`.
* Some methods in the `Scope` namespace were moved to the more specific
type, since there was only an implementation for one particular tag.
- `removeDecl` moved to `Scope.Container`
- `destroy` moved to `Scope.File`
* Two kinds of Scope deleted:
- zir_module
- decl
* astgen: properly use DeclVal / DeclRef. DeclVal was incorrectly
changed to be a reference; this commit fixes it. Fewer ZIR
instructions processed as a result.
- declval_in_module is renamed to declval
- previous declval ZIR instruction is deleted; it was only for .zir
files.
* Test harness: friendlier diagnostics when an unexpected set of errors
is encountered.
* zir_sema: fix analyzeInstBlockFlat by properly calling resolvingInst
on the last zir instruction in the block.
Compile log implementation:
* Write to a buffer rather than directly to stderr.
* Only keep track of 1 callsite per Decl.
* No longer mutate the ZIR Inst struct data.
* "Compile log statement found" errors are only emitted when there are
no other compile errors.
-femit-zir and support for .zir source files is regressed. If we wanted
to support this again, outputting .zir would need to be done as yet
another backend rather than in the haphazard way it was previously
implemented.
For parsing .zir, it was implemented previously in a way that was not
helpful for debugging. We need tighter integration with the test harness
for it to be useful; so clearly a rewrite is needed. Given that a
rewrite is needed, and it was getting in the way of progress and
organization of the rest of stage2, I regressed the feature.
In rare occassions, it may happen that string table is allocated free
space preceeding symbol table. This is an error in the eyes of the `dyld`
dynamic loader and thus has to forbidden by the linker.
Fixes two scenarios where @boolToInt() calls were missing:
1. Boolean expression cast to different-size int (char, long, etc)
2. Boolean expression used as parameter for function with int argument
* std.ArrayList gains `moveToUnmanaged` and dead code
`ArrayListUnmanaged.appendWrite` is deleted.
* emit_h state is attached to Module rather than Compilation.
* remove the implementation of emit-h because it did not properly
integrate with incremental compilation. I will re-implement it
in a follow-up commit.
* Compilation: use the .codegen_failure tag rather than
.dependency_failure tag for when `bin_file.updateDecl` fails.
C backend:
* Use a CValue tagged union instead of strings for C values.
* Cleanly separate state into Object and DeclGen:
- Object is present only when generating a .c file
- DeclGen is present for both generating a .c and .h
* Move some functions into their respective Object/DeclGen namespace.
* Forward decls are managed by the incremental compilation frontend; C
backend no longer renders function signatures based on callsites.
For simplicity, all functions always get forward decls.
* Constants are managed by the incremental compilation frontend. C
backend no longer has a "constants" section.
* Participate in incremental compilation. Each Decl gets an ArrayList
for its generated C code and it is updated when the Decl is updated.
During flush(), all these are joined together in the output file.
* The new CValue tagged union is used to clean up using of assigning to
locals without an additional pointer local.
* Fix bug with bitcast of non-pointers making the memcpy destination
immutable.
* CBE buffers are only valid during a flush()
* the file is reopened and truncated during each flush()
* CBE now explicitly ignores updateDecl and deleteDecl
* CBE updateDecl is gone
* test case is enabled
In strictly conforming C, identifiers cannot container dollar signs.
However GCC and Clang allow them by default, so translate-c should
handle them. See http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/cpp/Tokenization.html
I encountered this in the wild in windows.h
Fixes#7585
`@setEvalBranchQuota` can be called before the comptime/inline call
stack is created.
For example:
```zig
@setEvalBranchQuota(100);
comptime {
while (true) {}
}
```
Here we need to set the branch_quota before the comptime block creates a
scope for the branch_count.
If a static function is defined with no argument list and no prototype
is given, it should be treated as a function that takes no arguments
rather than as a variadic function.
Fixes#7594
To make sure that we don't have to rebuild libc for every case, we now
have a seperate cache directory for the global cache, which remains
the same between test runs.
Also make sure to destory the Compilation before executing a child process,
otherwise the compiler deadlocks. (#7596)
zir.Inst no longer has an `analyzed_inst` field. This is previously how
we mapped ZIR to their TZIR counterparts, however with the way inline
and comptime function calls work, we can potentially have the same ZIR
structure being analyzed by multiple different analyses, such as during
a recursive inline function call. This would cause the `analyzed_inst`
field to become clobbered. So instead, we use a table to map the
instructions to their semantically analyzed counterparts. This will help
with multi-threaded compilation as well.
Scope.Block.Inlining is split into 2 different layers of "sharedness".
The first layer is shared by the whole inline/comptime function call
stack. It contains the callsite where something is being inlined and the
branch count/quota. The second layer is different per function call but
shared by all the blocks within the function being inlined.
Add support for debug dumping br and brvoid TZIR instructions.
Remove the "unreachable code" error. It was happening even for this case:
```zig
if (comptime_condition) return;
bar(); // error: unreachable code
```
We will need smarter logic for when it is legal to emit this compile
error.
Remove the ZIR test cases. These are redundant with other higher level
Zig source tests we have, and maintaining support for ZIRModule as a
first-class top level abstraction is getting in the way of clean
compiler design for the main use case. We will have ZIR/TZIR based test
cases someday to help with testing optimization passes and ZIR to TZIR
analysis, but as is, these test cases are not accomplishing that, and
they are getting in the way.
* scopes properly inherit inlining information
* compile errors of inline function calls are properly attached to the
caller rather than the callee.
- added a test case for this
* --watch still opens a repl if compile errors happen.
Instead of freeing ZIR after semantic analysis, we keep it around so
that it can be used for comptime calls, inline calls, and generic
function calls. ZIR memory is now managed by the Decl arena.
Debug dump() functions are conditionally compiled; only available in
Debug builds of the compiler.
Add a test for an inline function call.
* remove the -Ddump-zir thing. that's handled through --verbose-ir
* rework Fn to have an is_inline flag without requiring any more memory
on the heap per function.
* implement a rough first version of dumping typed zir (tzir) which is
a lot more helpful for debugging than what we had before. We don't
have a way to parse it though.
* keep track of whether the inline-ness of a function changes because
if it does we have to go update callsites.
* add compile error for inline and export used together.
inline function calls and comptime function calls are implemented the
same way. A block instruction is set up to capture the result, and then
a scope is set up that has a flag for is_comptime and some state if the
scope is being inlined.
when analyzing `ret` instructions, zig looks for inlining state in the
scope, and if found, treats `ret` as a `break` instruction instead, with
the target block being the one set up at the inline callsite.
Follow-up items:
* Complete out the debug TZIR dumping code.
* Don't redundantly generate ZIR for each inline/comptime function
call. Instead we should add a new state enum tag to Fn.
* comptime and inlining branch quotas.
* Add more test cases.
* Function calls that happen in a comptime scope get called at
compile-time. We do this by putting the parameters in place as
constant values and then running regular function analysis on the
body.
* Added `Scope.Block.dump()` for debugging purposes.
* Fixed some code to call `identifierTokenString` rather than
`tokenSlice`, making it work for `@""` syntax.
* Implemented `Value.copy` for big integers.
Follow-up issues to tackle:
* Adding compile errors to the callsite instead of the callee Decl.
* Proper error notes for "called from here".
- Related: #7555
* Branch quotas.
* ZIR support?
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.
* Module: improve doc comments
* C backend: improve const-correctness
* C backend: introduce renderTypeAndName
* C backend: put `static` on functions when appropriate
* C backend: fix not handling errors in genBinOp
* C backend: handle more IR instructions
- alloc, store, boolean comparisons, ret_ptr
* C backend: call instruction properly stores its result
* test harness: ensure execution tests have empty stderr
The addition of `addDeclErr` introduced a memory leak at every call
site, and I also would like to push back on having more than 1
compilation error per `Decl`.
This reverts commit 1634d45f1d.
Previously casting a bool to an int would result in the following Zig code:
@intCast(c_int, @bitCast(i1, @intCast(u1, @boolToInt(b))));
This is incorrect if `b` is true, since bitcasting a `u1` with the value 1
to an `i1` will result in the value -1. Instead, generate the following code:
@as(c_int, @boolToInt(b));
Since @boolToInt returns a `u1`, this is only disallowed if the destination
type is one-bit and signed, which can only happen if it's a bitfield
(currently not supported by translate-c)
Making the enum type share the scope with the parent union means every
declaration "bleeds" into the enum scope.
Let's mint a fresh empty scope for the enum type.
Thanks to @Vexu for the test case.

C compiler intrinsics can only appear as part of a function call. When called
they are implicitly cast to a function pointer; treat this as a non-null
pointer so that it emits as a regular Zig function call.
Put `pub usingnamespace @import("std").c.builtins;` at the top of translated
C files so that they will have access to builtin functions defined there.
Fixes#6707
Everybody gets what they want!
* AT_RANDOM is completely ignored.
* On Linux, MADV_WIPEONFORK is used to provide fork safety.
* On pthread systems, `pthread_atfork` is used to provide fork safety.
* For systems that do not have the capability to provide fork safety,
the implementation falls back to calling getrandom() every time.
* If madvise is unavailable or returns an error, or pthread_atfork
fails for whatever reason, it falls back to calling getrandom() every
time.
* Applications may choose to opt-out of fork safety.
* Applications may choose to opt-in to unconditionally calling
getrandom() for every call to std.crypto.random.fillFn.
* Added `std.meta.globalOption`.
* Added `std.os.madvise` and related bits.
* Bumped up the size of the main thread TLS buffer. See the comment
there for justification.
* Simpler hot path in TLS initialization.
Don't cut any corner and properly run the type trough every single step
even though it has no fields (or, better, the sum of the size of all its
fields is zero).
Fix the logic to consider an explicit non-zero-sized tag enough to treat
the type as sized.
Closes#7451
The steps to repro this issue are:
zig build-obj hello.zig -target x86_64-windows-msvc
zig build-exe hello.obj -target x86_64-windows-msvc --subsystem console
-lkernel32 -lntdll
What was happening is that the main Compilation added a work item to
produce kernel32.lib. Then it added a sub-Compilation to build zig's
libc, which ended up calling a function with extern "kernel32", which
caused the sub-Compilation to also try to produce kernel32.lib. The main
Compilation and sub-Compilation do not coordinate about the set of
import libraries that they will be trying to build, so this caused a
deadlock.
This commit solves the problem by disabling the extern "foo" feature
from working when building compiler_rt or libc. Zig's linker code is now
responsible for putting the appropriate import libs on the linker line,
if any for compiler_rt and libc.

In C, enums are represented as signed integers, so casting from an enum to an integer
should use the "cast integer to integer" translation code path. Previously it used the
"cast enum to generic non-enum" code path, because enums were not being treated as integers.
Ultimately this can produce zig code that fails to compile if the destination type does not
support the full range of enum values (e.g. translated C code that casts an enum value to an
unsigned integer would fail to compile since enums are signed integers, and unsigned integers
cannot represent the full range of values that signed ones can).
One interesting thing that came up during testing is that the implicit enum-to-int cast that
occurs when an enum is used in a boolean expression was parsed as an (int) by some versions of
the zig compiler, and an (unsigned int) cast by others. Specifically, the following code:
```c
enum Foo {Bar, Baz};
// ...
enum Foo foo = Bar;
if (0 || foo) {
// do something
}
```
When tested on MacOS, Linux, and Windows using a compiler built from the Windows Zig Compiler
Dev Kit, the above code would emit a cast to c_uint:
`if (false or (@bitCast(c_uint, @enumToInt(foo)) != 0)) {}`
However when tested on Windows with a Zig compiler built using MSVC, it produces:
`if (false or (@bitCast(c_int, @enumToInt(foo)) != 0)) {}`
In this particular case I don't think it matters, since a c_int and c_uint will have the same
representation for zero, but I'm not sure if this is ultimately the result of
implementation-defined behavior or something else.
Because of this, I added explicit casts in the `translate_c.zig` tests, to ensure that the
emitted zig source exactly matches across platforms. I also added a behavior test in
`run_translated_c.zig` that uses the old implicit casts from `translate_c.zig` to ensure
that the emitted Zig code behaves the same as the C code regardless of what cast is used.
Use case:
zig build-exe non_existent_file.zig
Previous behavior:
error.FileNotFound, followed by an error return trace
Behavior after this commit:
error: unable to read non_existent_file.zig: FileNotFound
(end of stderr, exit code 1)
This turns AllErrors.Message into a tagged union which now has the
capability to represent both "plain" errors as well as source-based
errors (with file, line, column, byte offset). The "no entry point found"
error has moved to be a plain error message.
Positional shared library arguments were not being detected as causing
dynamic linking, resulting in invalid linker lines. LLD did not have an
error message for this when targeting x86_64-linux but it did emit an
error message when targeting aarch64-linux, which is how I noticed the
problem.
This surfaced an error having to do with fifo.pipe() in the cat example
which I did not diagnose but solved the issue by doing the revamp that
was already overdue for that example.
It appears that the zig-window project was exploiting the previous
behavior for it to function properly, so this prompts the question, is
there some kind of static/dynamic executable hybrid that the compiler
should recognize? Unclear - but we can discuss that in #7240.
ZigTypeIdOptional types have a different way of specifying their payload
value depending on whether the child type is a pointer or not (plus some
other special cases).
Fixes#7251
Make gen_const_ptr_struct_recursive aware of the possible presence of
some trailing padding by always bitcasting the pointer to its expected
type.
Not an elegant solution but makes LLVM happy and is consistent with how
the other callsites are handling this case.
Fixes#5398
