* Sema: resolve type fully when emitting an alloc AIR instruction to
avoid tripping assertion for checking struct field alignment.
* LLVM backend: keep a reference to the LLVM target data alive during
lowering so that we can ask LLVM what it thinks the ABI alignment
and size of LLVM types are. We need this in order to lower tuples and
structs so that we can put in extra padding bytes when Zig disagrees
with LLVM about the size or alignment of something.
* LLVM backend: make the LLVM struct type packed that contains the most
aligned union field and the padding. This prevents the struct from
being too big according to LLVM. In the future, we may want to
consider instead emitting unions in a "flat" manner; putting the tag,
most aligned union field, and padding all in the same struct field
space.
* LLVM backend: make structs with 2 or fewer fields return isByRef=false.
This results in more efficient codegen. This required lowering of
bitcast to sometimes store the struct into an alloca, ptrcast, and
then load because LLVM does not allow bitcasting structs.
* enable more passing behavior tests.
Packed structs were tripping an LLVM assertion due to calling
`LLVMConstZExt` from i16 to i16. Solved by using instead
`LLVMConstZExtOrBitCast`.
Unions were tripping an LLVM assertion due to a typo using the union
llvm type to construct an integer value rather than the tag type.
* Fix compile error for `zirErrorUnionType`.
* Convert zirMergeErrorSets logic to call `Type.errorSetMerge`.
It does not need to create a Decl as the TODO comment hinted.
* Extract out a function called `resolveInferredErrorSetTy`.
* Rework `resolvePeerTypes` with respect to error unions and
error sets. This is a less complex implementation that passes all the
same tests and uses many fewer lines of code by taking advantage of
the function `coerceInMemoryAllowedErrorSets`.
- Always merge error sets in the order that makes sense, even when
that means `@typeInfo` incompatibility with stage1.
* `Type.errorSetMerge` no longer overallocates.
* Don't skip passing tests.
Several issues with pointer types are fixed:
Prior to this commit, Zig would not canonicalize a pointer type with
an explicit alignment to alignment=0 if it matched the pointee ABI
alignment. In order to fix this, `Type.ptr` now takes a Target
parameter. I also moved the host_size canonicalization to `Type.ptr`
since target is now available. Similarly, is_allowzero in the case of
C pointers is now treated as a canonicalization done by the function
rather than a precondition.
in-memory coercion for pointers now properly checks ABI alignment
of pointee types instead of incorrectly treating the 0 value as an
alignment.
Type equality is completely reworked based on the tag() rather than the
zigTypeTag(). It's still semantically based on zigTypeTag() but that
knowledge is implied rather than dictating the control flow of the
logic. Importantly, this fixes cases for opaques, structs, tuples,
enums, and unions, where type equality was incorrectly returning based
on whether the tag() values were equal.
Additionally, pointer type equality now takes into account alignment.
Because we canonicalize non-zero alignment which equals pointee type ABI
alignment to alignment=0, this now can be a simple integer comparison.
Type hashing is implemented for pointers and floats. Array types now
additionally hash their sentinels.
This regressed some behavior tests that were passing but only because
of bugs regarding type equality.
The C backend has a noticeable problem with lowering differently-aligned
pointers (particularly slices) as the same type, causing C compilation
errors due to duplicate declarations.
We were using the array type, not the element type. Also, we should do
the sentinel comparison after we verify that the element types of both
are compatible.
This also includes two other small fixes:
- Instantiate void TypeInfo fields as void
- Return error in `type.comptimeOnly` on unresolved comptime requirements
This adds a comptime result when comparing a comptime value to an
unsigned integer. For example:
( 0 <= (unsigned runtime value)) => true
(-1 < (unsigned runtime value)) => true
((unsigned runtime value) < -15) => false
The ZIR instruction `union_init_ptr` is renamed to `union_init`.
I made it always use by-value semantics for now, not taking the time to
invest in result location semantics, in case we decide to change the
rules for unions. This way is much simpler.
There is a new AIR instruction: union_init. This is for a comptime known
tag, runtime-known field value.
vector_init is renamed to aggregate_init, which solves a TODO comment.
