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.
Unless the pointer is a pointer to a function, if the pointee type
has zero-bits, we need to return `MCValue.none` as the `Decl` has
not been lowered to memory, and therefore, any GOT reference will be
wrong.
* fix alignment issues for consts with natural ABI alignment not
matching that of the `ldr` instruction in `aarch64` - solved by
preceeding the `ldr` with an additional `add` instruction to form
the full address before dereferencing the pointer.
* redo selection of segment/section for decls and consts based on
combined type and value
Rather than ping ponging between codegen and the linker to generate the symbols/atoms
for a local constant and its relocations. We now create all neccesary objects within the linker.
This simplifies the code as we can now simply call `lowerUnnamedConst` from anywhere in codegen,
allowing us to further improve lowering constants into .rodata so we do not have to sacrifice
lowering certain types such as decl_ref's where its type is a slice.
This instruction now just represents loading from a hard-coded adrress
after extracting the other use cases for load_memory into load_got and
load_direct.
We now correctly implement exporting decls. This means it is possible to export
a decl with a different name than the decl that is doing the export.
This also sets the symbols with the correct flags, so when we emit a relocatable
object file, a linker can correctly resolve symbols and/or export the symbol to the host environment.
This commit also includes fixes to ensure relocations have the correct offset to how other
linkers will expect the offset, rather than what we use internally.
Other linkers accept the offset, relative to the section.
Internally we use an offset relative to the atom.
