Most of the required renames here are net wins for readaibility, I'd
say. The ones in `arch` are a little more verbose, but I think better. I
didn't bother renaming the non-conflicting functions in
`arch/arm/bits.zig` and `arch/aarch64/bits.zig`, since these backends
are pretty bit-rotted anyway AIUI.
The compiler actually doesn't need any functional changes for this: Sema
does reification based on the tag indices of `std.builtin.Type` already!
So, no zig1.wasm update is necessary.
This change is necessary to disallow name clashes between fields and
decls on a type, which is a prerequisite of #9938.
Implements the accepted proposal to introduce `@branchHint`. This
builtin is permitted as the first statement of a block if that block is
the direct body of any of the following:
* a function (*not* a `test`)
* either branch of an `if`
* the RHS of a `catch` or `orelse`
* a `switch` prong
* an `or` or `and` expression
It lowers to the ZIR instruction `extended(branch_hint(...))`. When Sema
encounters this instruction, it sets `sema.branch_hint` appropriately,
and `zirCondBr` etc are expected to reset this value as necessary. The
state is on `Sema` rather than `Block` to make it automatically
propagate up non-conditional blocks without special handling. If
`@panic` is reached, the branch hint is set to `.cold` if none was
already set; similarly, error branches get a hint of `.unlikely` if no
hint is explicitly provided. If a condition is comptime-known, `cold`
hints from the taken branch are allowed to propagate up, but other hints
are discarded. This is because a `likely`/`unlikely` hint just indicates
the direction this branch is likely to go, which is redundant
information when the branch is known at comptime; but `cold` hints
indicate that control flow is unlikely to ever reach this branch,
meaning if the branch is always taken from its parent, then the parent
is also unlikely to ever be reached.
This branch information is stored in AIR `cond_br` and `switch_br`. In
addition, `try` and `try_ptr` instructions have variants `try_cold` and
`try_ptr_cold` which indicate that the error case is cold (rather than
just unlikely); this is reachable through e.g. `errdefer unreachable` or
`errdefer @panic("")`.
A new API `unwrapSwitch` is introduced to `Air` to make it more
convenient to access `switch_br` instructions. In time, I plan to update
all AIR instructions to be accessed via an `unwrap` method which returns
a convenient tagged union a la `InternPool.indexToKey`.
The LLVM backend lowers branch hints for conditional branches and
switches as follows:
* If any branch is marked `unpredictable`, the instruction is marked
`!unpredictable`.
* Any branch which is marked as `cold` gets a
`llvm.assume(i1 true) [ "cold"() ]` call to mark the code path cold.
* If any branch is marked `likely` or `unlikely`, branch weight metadata
is attached with `!prof`. Likely branches get a weight of 2000, and
unlikely branches a weight of 1. In `switch` statements, un-annotated
branches get a weight of 1000 as a "middle ground" hint, since there
could be likely *and* unlikely *and* un-annotated branches.
For functions, a `cold` hint corresponds to the `cold` function
attribute, and other hints are currently ignored -- as far as I can tell
LLVM doesn't really have a way to lower them. (Ideally, we would want
the branch hint given in the function to propagate to call sites.)
The compiler and standard library do not yet use this new builtin.
Resolves: #21148
mlugg: this is cherry-picked from Andrew's nosanitize branch (with
Jacob's fixes squashed in) since I needed this for `unpredictable` and
`prof` metadata. The nosanitize-specific changes are reverted in the
next commit.

Exposes sanitizer coverage flags to the target machine emit function.
Makes it easier to change sancov options without rebuilding the C++
files.
This also enables PCTable = true for sancov which is needed by AFL, and
adds the corresponding Clang flag.
* Add the `-ffuzz` and `-fno-fuzz` CLI arguments.
* Detect fuzz testing flags from zig cc.
* Set the correct clang flags when fuzz testing is requested. It can be
combined with TSAN and UBSAN.
* Compilation: build fuzzer library when needed which is currently an
empty zig file.
* Add optforfuzzing to every function in the llvm backend for modules
that have requested fuzzing.
* In ZigLLVMTargetMachineEmitToFile, add the optimization passes for
sanitizer coverage.
* std.mem.eql uses a naive implementation optimized for fuzzing when
builtin.fuzz is true.
Tracked by #20702
Without this data, debugger expressions try to pass structs by-value,
which mostly just crashes.
Also: mark enums as enum classes to prevent the enumerators from
shadowing other identifiers.
Now we get working global variable lookup in GDB! LLDB still re-mangles,
and it looks like we can't do much about that for now.
Also: translate non-owning type declarations into typedefs.
This will allow accessing non-local declarations from debuggers, which,
AFAICT, was impossible before.
Getting scopes right already works for type declarations and functions,
but will need some fiddling for variables:
For those, I tried imitating what Clang does for static member
variables, but LLDB tries to re-mangle those and then fails at lookup,
while GDB outright crashes. Hopefully I can find some other dwarven
incantation to do the right thing.
New OSs:
* XROS
* Serenity
* Vulkan
Removed OSs:
* Ananas
* CloudABI
* Minix

New CPUs:
* spirv
The removed stuff is removed from LLVM but not Zig.
