This exposes a function from stage2 to stage1 to append symbols to automatically export them.
This happends under the following conditions:
- Target is wasm
- User has not provided --export/--rdynamic flags themselves.
* 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
The main idea here is that there are now 2 ways to get a stage1 zig
binary:
* The cmake path. Requirements: cmake, system C++ compiler, system
LLVM, LLD, Clang libraries, compiled by the system C++ compiler.
* The zig path. Requirements: a zig installation, system LLVM, LLD,
Clang libraries, compiled by the zig installation.
Note that the former can be used to now take the latter path.
Removed config.h.in and config.zig.in. The build.zig script no longer is
coupled to the cmake script.
cmake no longer tries to determine the zig version. A build with cmake
will yield a stage1 zig binary that reports 0.0.0+zig0. This is going to
get reverted.
`zig build` now accepts `-Dstage1` which will build the stage1 compiler,
and put the stage2 backend behind a feature flag.
build.zig is simplified to only support the use case of enabling LLVM
support when the LLVM, LLD, and Clang libraries were built by zig. This
part is probably sadly going to have to get reverted to make package
maintainers happy.
Zig build system addBuildOption supports a couple new types.
The biggest reason to make this change is that the zig path is an
attractive option for doing compiler development work on Windows. It
allows people to work on the compiler without having MSVC installed,
using only a .zip file that contains Zig + LLVM/LLD/Clang libraries.
