This is problematic because in practice it depends on whether the
compiler backend supports it too, as evidenced by the TODO comment about
LLVM not supporting some architectures that in fact do support tail
calls.
Instead this logic is organized strategically in src/target.zig, part of
the internal compiler source code, and the behavior tests in question
duplicate some logic for deciding whether to proceed with the test.
The proper place to expose this flag is in `@import("builtin")` - the
generated source file - so that third party compilers can advertise
whether they support tail calls.
`@call` allows specifying the modifier explicitly, however it can still
appear in a context that overrides the modifier. This commit adds flags
to the BuiltinCall ZIR encoding. Since we have unused bits I also threw
in the ensure_result_used mechanism.
I also deleted a behavior test that was checking for bound function
behavior where I think stage2 behavior is correct and stage1 behavior
is incorrect.
Prior to this, Liveness encoded `asm`, `call`, and `aggregate_init` with
a single 32-bit integer, allowing up to 35 operands (3 are provided by
the regular tomb_bits). However, the Zig language allows function calls
with more than 35 arguments, inline assembly with more than 35 inputs,
and anonymous tuples with more than 35 elements.
The new encoding stores an index to the extra array instead of the bits
directly, and then as many extra elements as needed to encode all the
operands. The MSB is used as a flag to tell which element is the last
one, allowing for 31 bits per element.
Prior to this, print_air did not bother correctly printing tombstones
for these instructions; now it does.
In addition to updating the BigTomb iteration logic in the machine code
backends, this commit extracts the common logic into the Liveness namespace.
* AstGen: restore the param_type ZIR instruction and pass it to the
expression for function call arguments. This does not solve the
problem for generic function parameters, but it catches stage2 up to
stage1 which also does not solve the problem for generic function
parameters.
- Most of the enhancements in this commit will still be needed for a
more sophisticated further improvement to handle generic function
types.
- In Sema, handling of `as` coercion recognizes the `var_args_param`
Type Tag and passes the operand through doing no coercion.
- That was the last ZIR tag and we are now using all 256 ZIR tags.
* AstGen: array init and struct init expressions use the anon form even
when the result location has a type. Prevents the type system
incorrectly believing, for example, that a tuple is actually an array
when the result location is a param_type of a function with `anytype`
parameter.
* Sema: add missing coercion in `unionInit` to coerce the init to the
corresponding union field type.
* `Value.fieldValue` now takes a type and does not take an allocator.
closes#11293
After this commit, stage2 passes all the parser tests.
check the set of passing tests; move towards the disabling logic being
inside each test rather than which files are included.
this enables a few more passing tests.

Master branch added `try` to a bunch of testing function calls, and some
lines also had changed how to refer to the native architecture and other
`@import("builtin")` stuff.
