Previously if the type parameter was a pointer, it would assert that the
size of the type was resolved. It used to be that the size of pointers was
always resolved, however with lazy values, pointers gained the
possibility of not having their size resolved.
Now, type_allowed_in_extern triggers the resolution of whether a pointer
is zero bits, and returns a possible error if the resolution fails.
This fixes a compiler assertion when building the
[zootdeck project](https://github.com/donpdonp/zootdeck). I do not have
a test case reduction for the issue.
* Fix codegen for splat - instead of giving vectors of length N
to shufflevector for both of the operands, it gives vectors of length
1. The mask vector is the only one that needs N elements.
* Separate Splat into SplatSrc and SplatGen; the `len` is not needed
once it gets to codegen since it is redundant with the result type.
* Refactor compile error for wrong vector element type so that the
compile error message is not duplicated in zig source code
* Improve implementation to correctly handle comptime values such as
undefined and lazy values.
* Improve compile error for bad vector element type to point to the
correct place.
* Delete dead code.
* Modify behavior test to use an array cast instead of vector element
indexing since I'm merging this splat commit out-of-order from
Shawn's patch set.
* update docs for `@byteSwap`.
* fix hash & eql functions for ZigLLVMFnIdBswap not updated to
include vector len. this was causing incorrect bswap function
being called in unrelated code
* fix `@byteSwap` behavior tests only testing comptime and not
runtime operations
* implement runtime `@byteSwap`
* fix incorrect logic in ir_render_vector_to_array and
ir_render_array_to_vector with regards to whether or not to bitcast
* `@byteSwap` accepts an array operand which it will cast to vector
* simplify `@byteSwap` semantic analysis code and various fixes
* update documentation
- move `@shuffle` to be sorted alphabetically
- remove mention of LLVM
- minor clarifications & rewording
* introduce ir_resolve_vector_elem_type to avoid duplicate compile
error message and duplicate vector element checking logic
* rework ir_analyze_shuffle_vector to solve various issues
* improve `@shuffle` to allow implicit cast of arrays
* the shuffle tests weren't being run
I change the semantics of the mask operand, to make it a little more
flexible. There is no real danger in this because it is a compile-error
if you do it the LLVM way (and there is an appropiate error to tell you
this).
v2: avoid problems with double-free
The question was:
> // TODO do we need lazy values on vector comparisons?
Nope, in fact the existing code already was returning ErrorNotLazy
for that particular type, and would already goto
never_mind_just_calculate_it_normally. So the explicit check for
ZigTypeIdVector is not needed. I appreciate the caution though.
When `@frameSize` is never called, and `@asyncCall` on a runtime-known
pointer is never used, no prefix data for async functions is needed.
Related: #3160
* `await @asyncCall` generates better code. See #3065
* `@asyncCall` works with a real `@Frame(func)` in addition to
a byte slice. Closes#3072
* `@asyncCall` allows passing `{}` (a void value) as the result
pointer, which uses the result location inside the frame.
Closes#3068
* support `await @asyncCall` on a non-async function. This is in
preparation for safe recursion (#1006).
