This fixes a regression from a couple of commits ago; breaking from the
`else` block of a loop to the loop's tag should be allowed when explicitly
targeting the label by name.
This commit aims to simplify and de-duplicate the logic required for
semantically analyzing `switch` expressions.
The core logic has been moved to `analyzeSwitchBlock`, `resolveSwitchBlock`
and `finishSwitchBlock` and has been rewritten around the new iterator-based
API exposed by `Zir.UnwrappedSwitchBlock`.
All validation logic and switch prong item resolution have been moved to
`validateSwitchBlock`, which produces a `ValidatedSwitchBlock` containing
all the necessary information for further analysis.
`Zir.UnwrappedSwitchBlock`, `ValidatedSwitchBlock` and `SwitchOperand`
replace `SwitchProngAnalysis` while adding more flexibility, mainly for
better integration with `switch_block_err_union`.
`analyzeSwitchBlock` has an explicit code path for OPV types which lowers
them to either a `block`-`br` or a `loop`-`repeat` construct instead of a
switch. Backends expect `switch` to actually have an operand that exists
at runtime, so this is a bug fix and avoids further special cases in the
rest of the switch logic.
`resolveSwitchBlock` and `finishSwitchBr` exclusively deal with operands
which can have more than one value, at comptime and at runtime respectively.
This commit also reworks `RangeSet` to be an unmanaged container and adds
`Air.SwitchBr.BranchHints` to offload some complexity from Sema to there
and save a few bytes of memory in the process.
Additionally, some new features have been implemented:
- decl literals and everything else requiring a result type (`@enumFromInt`!)
may now be used as switch prong items
- union tag captures are now allowed for all prongs, not just `inline` ones
- switch prongs may contain errors which are not in the error set being
switched on, if these prongs contain `=> comptime unreachable`
and some bugs have been fixed:
- lots of issues with switching on OPV types are now fixed
- the rules around unreachable `else` prongs when switching on errors now
apply to *any* switch on an error, not just to `switch_block_err_union`,
and are applied properly based on the AST
- switching on `void` no longer requires an `else` prong unconditionally
- lazy values are properly resolved before any comparisons with prong items
- evaluation order between all kinds of switch statements is now the same,
with or without label
Enhances `GenZir` to allow labels to provide separate `break` and `continue`
target blocks and adds some more information on continue targets to
communicate whether the target is a switch block or cannot be targeted by
`continue` at all.
The main motivation is enabling this:
```
const result: u32 = operand catch |err| label: switch (err) {
else => continue :label error.MyError,
error.MyError => break :label 1,
};
```
to be lowered to something like this:
```
%1 = block({
%2 = is_non_err(%operand)
%3 = condbr(%2, {
%4 = err_union_payload_unsafe(%operand)
%5 = break(%1, result) // targets enclosing `block`
}, {
%6 = err_union_code(%operand)
%7 = switch_block(%6,
else => {
%8 = switch_continue(%7, "error.MyError") // targets `switch_block`
},
"error.MyError" => {
%9 = break(%1, @one) // targets enclosing `block`
},
)
%10 = break(%1, @void_value)
})
})
```
which makes the non-error case and all breaks from switch prongs, but not
continues from switch prongs, peers.
This is required to avoid the problems described in gh#11957 for labeled
switches without having to introduce a fairly complex special case to the
`switch_block_err_union` logic. Since this construct is very rare in practice,
introducing this additional complexity just to save a few ZIR bytes is
likely not worth it, so the simplified lowering described above will be
used instead.
As a nice bonus, AstGen can now also detect a `continue` trying to target
a labeled block and emit an appropriate error message.
Previously Zig allowed you to write something like,
```zig
switch (x) {
.y => |_| {
```
This seems a bit strange because in other cases, such as when
capturing the tag in a switch case,
```zig
switch (x) {
.y => |_, _| {
```
this produces an error.
The only usecase I can think of for the previous behaviour is
if you wanted to assert that all union payloads are able
to coerce,
```zig
const X = union(enum) { y: u8, z: f32 };
switch (x) {
.y, .z => |_| {
```
This will compile-error with the `|_|` and pass without it.
I don't believe this usecase is strong enough to keep the current
behaviour; it was never used in the Zig codebase and I cannot
find a single usage of this behaviour in the real world, searching
through Sourcegraph.
If the float can store all possible values of the integer without
rounding, coercion is allowed. The integer's precision must be less than
or equal to the float's significand precision.
Closes#18614
Targets that don't support tail calls will see:
/home/ci/zig/.zig-cache/o/35dbe82c8e4d49ae5b7d630329568133/tmp.zig:5:5: error: unable to perform tail call: compiler backend 'stage2_llvm' does not support tail calls on target architecture 'powerpc64le' with the selected CPU feature flags
So just run this test on a known-good target.
The amount of cross compilation required for these tests was too time-consuming
for how much value they added. test-stack-traces now cover these well enough,
especially as we add more exotic machines to the CI fleet to run native tests.
If the compiler happens to pick `ret = r0`, then this will assemble to
`ag r0, 0` which is obviously not what we want. Using `a` instead of `r` will
ensure that we get an appropriate address register, i.e. `r1` through `r15`.
Re-enable pie_linux for s390x-linux which was disabled in
ed7ff0b693.
backend=auto (now the default if backend is omitted) means to let the compiler
pick whatever backend it wants as the default. This is important for platforms
where we don't yet have a self-hosted backend, such as loongarch64.
Also purge a bunch of redundant target=native.
This bug was manifesting for user as a nasty link error because they
were calling their application's main entry point as a coerced function,
which essentially broke reference tracking for the entire ZCU, causing
exported symbols to silently not get exported.
I've been a little unsure about how coerced functions should interact
with the unit graph before, but the solution is actually really obvious
now: they shouldn't! `Sema` is now responsible for unwrapping
possibly-coerced functions *before* queuing analysis or marking unit
references. This makes the reference graph optimal (there are no
redundant edges representing coerced versions of the same function) and
simplifies logic elsewhere at the expense of just a few lines in Sema.
In the best case, this is redundant work, because we aren't actually
going to emit a working binary this update. In the worst case, it causes
bugs because the linker may not have *seen* the thing being exported due
to the compile errors.
