Packed memory has a well-defined layout that doesn't require
conversion from an integer to read from. Let's use it :-)
This change means that for bitcasting to/from a packed value that
is N layers deep, we no longer have to create N temporary big-ints
and perform N copies.
Other miscellaneous improvements:
- Adds support for casting to packed enums and vectors
- Fixes bitcasting to/from vectors outside of a packed struct
- Adds a fast path for bitcasting <= u/i64
- Fixes bug when bitcasting f80 which would clear following fields
This also changes the bitcast memory layout of exotic integers on
big-endian systems to match what's empirically observed on our targets.
Technically, this layout is not guaranteed by LLVM so we should probably
ban bitcasts that reveal these padding bits, but for now this is an
improvement.
Despite the old doc-comment, this function cannot be valid for all types
since it operates with only a value and Error (Union) types have
overlapping Value representations with other Types.
The `Value.eql` function has to test for value equality *as-if* the lhs
value parameter is coerced into the type of the rhs. For tagged unions,
there was a problematic case when the lhs was an anonymous struct,
because in such case the value is empty_struct_value and the type
contains all the value information. But the only type available in the
function was the rhs type.
So the fix involved making `Value.eqlAdvanced` also accept the lhs type,
and then enhancing the logic to handle the case of the `.anon_struct` tag.

Tests run locally:
* test-behavior
* test-cases
Previously, the logic for analyzing coerce_result_ptr would generate
invalid bitcast instructions which did not include coercion logic, such
as optional wrapping, resulting in miscompilations.
Now, the logic of resolve_inferred_alloc goes back over all the
placeholders inserted by coerce_result_ptr, and replaces them with logic
doing the proper coercions.
Closes#12045
* Sema: implement comptime bitcast of f80 with integer-like types
bitwise rather than taking a round trip through memory layout.
* Type: introduce `isAbiInt`.
* Value: comptime memory write of f80 writes 0 bytes for padding
instead of leaving the memory uninitialized.
* Value: floatReadFromMemory has a more general implementation, checking
the endianness rather than checking for specific architectures.
This fixes behavior test failures occurring on MIPS.
Zig guarantees the memory layout of f16, f32, f64, f80, and f128 which
means for generic function purposes, values of these types need to be
compared on the basis of their bits in memory. This means nan-packing
can be used with generic functions, for example.
For comptime_float, the sign is observable, whether it is nan is
observable, but not any more kinds of bit patterns are observable.
This fixes the std.fmt tests that check printing "-nan".
This commit does not change any behavior, but changes the type of
the runtime_index field from u32 to a non-exhaustive enum. This allows
us to put `std.math.maxInt(u32)` only in the enum type definition and
give it an official meaning.
This is a temporary addition to stage2 in order to match stage1 behavior,
however the end-game once the lang spec is settled will be to use a global
InternPool for comptime memoized objects, making this behavior consistent
across all types, not only string literals. Or, we might decide to not
guarantee string literals to have equal comptime pointers, in which case
this commit can be reverted.
Motivation: the behavior test that is now passing.
The main change in this commit is introducing `Type.abiSizeAdvanced`,
`Value.Tag.lazy_size`, and adjusting `Sema.zirSizeOf` to take advantage
of these.
However, the bulk of lines changed in this commit ended up being moving
logic from value.zig and type.zig into Sema.zig. This logic had no
business being in Type/Value as it was only called from a Sema context,
and we need access to the Sema context for error reporting when a lazy
Value is resolved.
Also worth mentioning is that I bumped up the comptime `@floatToInt`
implementation from using f64 to f128.
When handling the `negate` ZIR instruction, Zig now checks for a
comptime operand and handles it as a special case rather than lowering
it as `0 - x` so that the expression `-x` where `x` is a floating point
value known at compile-time, will get the negative zero bitwise
representation.
