This is progress towards making Stage1Zir immutable, so that we can
avoid generating it for every comptime function call.
Also rename IrExecutableGen to Stage1Air.
* Extracts AstGen logic from ir.cpp into astgen.cpp. Reduces the
largest file of stage1 from 33,551 lines to 25,510.
* tokenizer: rework it completely to match the stage2 tokenizer logic.
They can now be maintained together; when one is changed, the other
can be changed in the same way.
- Each token now takes up 13 bytes instead of 64 bytes. The tokenizer
does not parse char literals, string literals, integer literals,
etc into meaningful data. Instead, that happens during parsing or
astgen.
- no longer store line offsets. Error messages scan source
files to find the line/column as needed (same as stage2).
- main loop: instead of checking the loop, handle a null byte
explicitly in the switch statements. This is a nice improvement
that we may want to backport to stage2.
- delete some dead tokens, artifacts of past syntax that no longer
exists.
* Parser: fix a TODO by parsing builtin functions as tokens rather than
`@` as a separate token. This is how stage2 does it.
* Remove some debugging infrastructure. These will need to be redone,
if at all, as the code migrates to match stage2.
- remove the ast_render code.
- remove the IR debugging stuff
- remove teh token printing code
Change default behaviour to search for static archives before searching
for dynamic libraries if no flag such as `-search_paths_first` is
specified. Also, fix a bug with early break from outer loop (label
in the wrong place).
* for some reason part of the linkable bits for the crt libraries
are split in different locations for haiku. this changeset
accomodates this situation (crtbegin_dir lookup)
Clang has a completely inconsistent CLI for its integrated assembler for
each target architecture. For x86_64, for example, it does not accept
an -mcpu parameter, and emits "warning: unused parameter". However, for
ARM, -mcpu is needed in order to properly lower assembly to machine code
instructions (see new standalone test case provided thanks to @g-w1).
This is a compromise between
b8f85a805b and
afb9f695b1.
This reverts commit afb9f695b1.
I don't think this was ever actually verified to fix the thing it
purported to, and it started causing warnings for unused command line
parameters.
- more support for linux, android, freebsd, netbsd, openbsd, dragonfly
- centralize musl utils; musl logic is no longer intertwined with csu
- fix musl compilation to build crti/crtn for full archs list
- fix openbsd to support `zig build-lib -dynamic`
- initial dragonfly linking success (with a warning)
ancillary:
- fix emutls (openbsd) tests to use `try`
This addresses the use case of quickly reporting AstGen compile errors
for a file, for use with an IDE for example.
* Rename from `zig asgen` to `zig ast-check`
* It is now a command always available; not only in debug builds.
* Give it usage text and proper CLI parsing.
* Support reading from stdin when no positional arg is provided.
* `-t` flag makes it print textual ZIR. Without this flag, it only
provides compile errors.
* Support `--color` parameter to override the tty detection

We've settled on the nomenclature for the artifacts the compiler
pipeline produces:
1. Tokens
2. AST (Abstract Syntax Tree)
3. ZIR (Zig Intermediate Representation)
4. AIR (Analyzed Intermediate Representation)
5. Machine Code
Renaming `ir` identifiers to `air` will come with the inevitable
air-memory-layout branch that I plan to start after the 0.8.0 release.
This commits permits passing in static archives using the system
lib flag `-la`. With this commit, `zig ld` will now look firstly for
a dynamic library (which always takes precedence), and will fall back
on `liba.a` if the dylib is not found. The static archive is searched
for in the system lib search dirs like the dylibs.
