Motiejus 9bc6ac6679 astgen: assign_destructure, u0 int type, slice_length optimization
- Implement assignDestructure() and assignDestructureMaybeDecls() with
  RL_DESTRUCTURE result location, DestructureComponent types, rvalue
  handling for validate_destructure/elem_val_imm/store_node, and array
  init optimization.
- Fix tryResolvePrimitiveIdent to allow bit_count==0 (u0/i0 types) and
  reject leading zeros (u01, i007).
- Add nodeIsTriviallyZero and slice_length optimization for
  arr[start..][0..len] patterns in AST_NODE_SLICE and
  AST_NODE_SLICE_SENTINEL cases.

About

zig0 aspires to be an interpreter of zig 0.15.2 written in C.

This is written with help from LLM:

  • Lexer:
    • Datastructures 100% human.
    • Helper functions 100% human.
    • Lexing functions 50/50 human/bot.
  • Parser:
    • Datastructures 100% human.
    • Helper functions 50/50.
    • Parser functions 5/95 human/bot.
  • AstGen: TBD.

Testing

Quick test:

zig build fmt-zig0 test-zig0

Full test and static analysis with all supported compilers and valgrind (run before commit, takes a while):

zig build all-zig0 -Dvalgrind

Debugging tips

Test runs infinitely? Build the test program executable:

$ zig build test-zig0 -Dzig0-no-exec

And then run it, capturing the stack trace:

gdb -batch \
    -ex "python import threading; threading.Timer(1.0, lambda: gdb.post_event(lambda: gdb.execute('interrupt'))).start()" \
    -ex run \
    -ex "bt full" \
    -ex quit \
    zig-out/bin/test

You are welcome to replace -ex "bt full" with anything other of interest.
