Before this, if a compile error occurred, it would cause the previous
value for e.g. the function scope to not get reset. If the AstGen
process continued, it would result in a violation of the data
guarantees that it relies on.
This commit takes advantage of defer to ensure the previous value is
always reset, even in the case of an error.
Closes#8920
When scanDecls happens, we create stub Decl objects that
have not been semantically analyzed. When they get referenced,
they get semantically analyzed.
Before this commit, when they got unreferenced, they were completely
deleted, including deleted from the containing Namespace.
However, if the update did not cause the containing Namespace to get
deleted, for example, if `std.builtin.ExportOptions` is no longer
referenced, but `std.builtin` is still referenced, and then `ExportOptions`
gets referenced again, the Namespace would be incorrectly missing the
Decl, so we get an incorrect "no such member" error.
The solution is to, when dealing with a no longer referenced Decl
objects during an update, clear them to the state they would be in
on a fresh scanDecl, rather than completely deleting them.
As it stands, the backend is incomplete, and there is no active contributor,
making it dead weight.
However, anyone is free to resurrect this backend at any time.
Just like when new parse errors occur during an update, when new AstGen
errors occur during an update, we do not reveal compile errors for Decl
objects which are inside of a newly failed File. Once the File passes
AstGen successfully, it will be compared with the previously succeeded
ZIR and the saved Decl compile errors will be handled properly.
* Remove the ability for GenZir parent Scope to be null. Now there is a
Top Scope at the top.
* Introduce Scope.Namespace to contain a table of decl names in order
to emit a compile error for name conflicts.
* Fix use of invalid memory when reporting compile errors by
duplicating decl names into a temporary heap allocated buffer.
* Fix memory leak in while and for loops, not cleaning up their
labeled_breaks and store_to_block_ptr_list arrays.
* Fix stage2 test cases because now the source location of redundant
comptime keyword compile errors is improved.
* Implement compile error for local variable shadowing declaration.

Mainly I wanted Jakub's new macOS code for respecting stack size, since
we now depend on it for debug builds able to pass one of the test cases
for recursive comptime function calls with `@setEvalBranchQuota`.
The conflicts were all trivial.
This was also an experiment to see if it were easier to implement a new
feature when using the instruction encoder.
Verdict: It's not that much easier, but I think it's certainly much more
readable, because the description of the Instruction annotates what each
field means. Right now, precise knowledge of x86_64 instructions is
still required because things like when to set the 64-bit flag, how to
read x86_64 instruction references, etc. are still not automatically
done for you.
In the future, this interface might make it sligtly easier to write an
assembler for x86_64, by abstracting the bit-fiddling aspects of
instruction encoding.
From my very cursory reading, it seems that the register manager doesn't
distinguish between registers that are physically the same but have
different sizes.
In that case, this means that during codegen, we can't rely on
`reg.size()` when determining the width of the operations we have to
perform. Instead, we must use some form of `ty.abiSize(self.target.*)`
to determine the size of the type we're operating with. If this size is
64 bits, then we should enable 64-bit operation.
This fixed a bug in the codegen for spilling instructions, which was
overwriting the previous stack entry with zeroes. See the modified test
case in this commit.
Instead of Module setting up the root_scope with the root source file,
instead, Module relies on the package table graph being set up properly,
and inside `update()`, it does the equivalent of `_ = @import("std");`.
This, in term, imports start.zig, which has the logic to call main (or
not). `Module` no longer has `root_scope` - the root source file is no
longer special, it's just in the package table mapped to "root".
I also went ahead and implemented proper detection of updated files.
mtime, inode, size, and source hash are kept in `Scope.File`.
During an update, iterate over `import_table` and stat each file to find
out which ones are updated.
The source hash is redundant with the source hash used by the struct
decl that corresponds to the file, so it should be removed in a future
commit before merging the branch.
* AstGen: add "previously declared here" notes for variables shadowing
decls.
* Parse imports as structs. Module now calls `AstGen.structDeclInner`,
which is called by `AstGen.containerDecl`.
- `importFile` is a bit kludgy with how it handles the top level Decl
that kinda gets merged into the struct decl at the end of the
function. Be on the look out for bugs related to that as well as
possibly cleaner ways to implement this.
* Module: factor out lookupDeclName into lookupIdentifier and lookupNa
* Rename `Scope.Container` to `Scope.Namespace`.
* Delete some dead code.
This branch won't work until `usingnamespace` is implemented because it
relies on `@import("builtin").OutputMode` and `OutputMode` comes from a
`usingnamespace`.
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
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 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.
