The function table contains all function pointers that are called
by using call_indirect. During codegen, we create a relocation
where the linker will resolve the correct index into the table and stores
this value within the data section at the location of the pointer.
This contains a few additions:
- Proper stack pointer calculation keeping alignment in mind.
- Setting up memory layout (including user flags).
- Export or import memory
- Handle 'easy' linker tasks during incremental compilation, while offloading
heavy-tracking/computation tasks to `flush()`
- This architecture allows us to easily integrate with the rest of 'zwld' to
implement linking stage2 code with external object files.
We now resolve relocations for globals, memory addresses and function indexes.
Besides above, we now also emit imported functions correctly and create a
corresponding undefined symbol for it, where as we create a defined symbol
for all other cases.
TODO: Make incrememental compilation work again with new linker infrastructure
- Converts previous `DeclBlock` into `Atom`'s to also make them compatible when
the rest of zlwd gets upstreamed and we can link with other object files.
- Resolves function signatures and removes any duplicates, saving us a lot of
potential bytes for larger projects.
- We now create symbols for each decl of the respective type
- We can now (but not implemented yet) perform proper relocations.
- Having symbols and segment_info allows us to create an object file
for wasm.
* stage1: change the `@typeName` of `@TypeOf(undefined)`,
`@TypeOf(null)`, and `@TypeOf(.foo)` to match stage2.
* move passing behavior tests to the passing-for-stage2 section.
Previously, when a coercion needed to be inserted into a break
instruction, the `br` AIR instruction would be rewritten so that the
block operand was a sub-block that did the coercion. The problem is that
the sub-block itself was never added to the parent block, resulting in
the `br` instruction operand being a bad reference.
Now, the `br` AIR instruction that needs to have coercion instructions
added is replaced with the sub-block itself with type `noreturn`, and
then the sub-block has the coercion instructions and a new `br`
instruction that breaks from the original block.
LLVM backend needed to be fixed to lower `noreturn` blocks without
emitting an unused LLVM basic block.
Since we are already detecting the path to the native SDK,
if available, also fetch SDK's version and route that to the linker.
The linker can then use it to correctly populate LC_BUILD_VERSION
load command.
Due to a deficiency in LLD, we need to special-case BPF to a simple
file copy when generating relocatables. Normally, we would expect
`lld -r` to work. However, because LLD wants to resolve BPF relocations
which it shouldn't, it fails before even generating the relocatable.

After extern enums were removed, stage1 was left in an incorrect state
of checking for `extern enum` for exported enums. This commit fixes it
to look for an explicit integer tag type instead, and adds test coverage
for the compile error case as well as the success case.

This is mainly because arm64 macOS doesn't support all
versions supported by x86_64 macOS. This is just a temporary
thing until both architectures support the same set of OSes.
Previously when using `--enable-cache` and creating a Windows DLL,
without overriding the `-femit-implib` option, Zig would incorrectly
dump the .lib file to the current working directory, rather than
outputting it into the artifact directory, next to the .dll file.
Fixed.
When adding test coverage, I noticed an inconsistency in which source
location the compile error was pointing to for `@embedFile` errors vs
`@import` errors. They now both point to the same place, the string
operand.

In 7e23b3245a I made -O flags to the
linker emit a warning that the argument does nothing. That was not
correct however; LLD does have some logic that does different things
depending on -O0, -O1, and -O2. It defaults to -O1, and it does less
optimizations with -O0 and more with -O2.
With this commit, e.g. `-Wl,-O1` is supported by the `zig cc` frontend,
and by default we pass `-O0` to LLD in debug mode, and `-O3` in release
modes.
I also fixed a bug in the LLD ELF linker line which was incorrectly
passing `-O` flags instead of `--lto-O` flags for LTO.
* Improve the logic for determining whether emitting an import lib is
eligible, and improve the error message when the user provides
contradictory arguments.
* Integrate with the EmitLoc / Emit system that already exists, and use
the `-femit-implib[=path]`/`-fno-emit-implib` convention that already
exists.
* Proper integration with the caching system.
* CLI: fix bug in error reporting for resolving EmitLoc values for
other parameters.
This mechanism for sending arbitrary linker args to LLD has no place in
the Zig frontend, because our goal is for the frontend to understand all
the arguments and not treat linker args like a black box.
For example we have self-hosted linking in addition to LLD, so we want to
have the options make sense to both linking codepaths, not just the LLD one.
Passing -O linker args will now result in a warning that the arg does
nothing.
Handle clang's linker flag `-weak_framework` as a standard framework to
link. This requires further investigation especially to do with weak
imports and how to tie one with the other.
* add support for compiling Objective-C++ code
Prior to this change, calling `step.addCSourceFiles` with Obj-C++ file extensions
(`.mm`) would result in an error due to Zig not being aware of that extension.
Clang supports an `-ObjC++` compilation mode flag, but it was only possible to use
if you violated standards and renamed your `.mm` Obj-C++ files to `.m` (Obj-C) to
workaround Zig being unaware of the extension.
This change makes Zig aware of `.mm` files so they can be compiled, enabling compilation
of projects such as [Google's Dawn WebGPU](https://dawn.googlesource.com/dawn/) using
a `build.zig` file only.

* Introduce a mechanism into Sema for emitting a compile error when an
integer is too big and we need it to fit into a usize.
* Add `@intCast` where necessary
* link/MachO: fix an unnecessary allocation when all that was happening
was appending zeroes to an ArrayList.
* Add `error.Overflow` as a possible error to some codepaths, allowing
usage of `math.intCast`.
