start using zig-fmt-pointer-reform branch build of zig fmt
to fix code to use the new syntax
all of test/cases/* are processed, but there are more left
to be done - all the std lib used by the behavior tests
* remove @cmpxchg, add @cmpxchgWeak and @cmpxchgStrong
- See explanations in the langref.
* add operand type as first parameter
* return type is ?T where T is the operand type
closes#461
* instead of `async(allocator) call()`, now it is
`async<allocator> call()`.
* Fixes syntax ambiguity when leaving off the allocator
* Fixes parse failure when call is a field access
This sets a precedent for using `<` to pass arguments
to a keyword. This will affect `enum`, `union`, and
`fn` (see #661)
* fix comptime slice of slice not preserving mutatibility
of the comptime data
* fix comptime slice of pointer not preserving mutability
of the comptime data
closes#826
LLVM 5.0.1, 6.0.0, and trunk crash when attempting to optimize coroutine code.
So, Zig does not support ReleaseFast or ReleaseSafe for coroutines yet.
Luckily, Clang users are running into the same crashes, so folks from the LLVM
community are working on fixes. If we're really lucky they'll be fixed in 6.0.1.
Otherwise we can hope for 7.0.0.
Allow implicit casts from n-th degree const pointers to nullable const
pointers of degree n+1. That is:
fn f() void {
const s = S {};
const p = &s;
g(p); // Works.
g(&p); // So does this.
}
fn g(_: ?&const &const S) void { // Nullable 2nd degree const ptr.
}
Fixes#731 some more.
Allow implicit casts from container types to nullable const pointers to
said container type. That is:
fn f() void {
const s = S {};
g(s); // Works.
g(&s); // So does this.
}
fn g(_: ?&const S) void { // Nullable const pointer.
}
Fixes#731.
The purpose of this is:
* Only one way to do things
* Changing a function with void return type to return a possible
error becomes a 1 character change, subtly encouraging
people to use errors.
See #632
Here are some imperfect sed commands for performing this update:
remove arrow:
```
sed -i 's/\(\bfn\b.*\)-> /\1/g' $(find . -name "*.zig")
```
add void:
```
sed -i 's/\(\bfn\b.*\))\s*{/\1) void {/g' $(find ../ -name "*.zig")
```
Some cleanup may be necessary, but this should do the bulk of the work.
* docgen supports obj_err code kind for demonstrating
errors without explicit test cases
* add documentation for `extern enum`. See #367
* remove coldcc keyword and add @setIsCold. See #661
* add compile errors for non-extern struct, enum, unions
in function signatures
* add .h file generation for extern struct, enum, unions
closes#672
the crash and compile errors are fixed but structs
inside functions still get named after the functions
they're in. this will be fixed later.
Before:
* IR basic blocks are in arbitrary order
* when doing an IR pass, when a block is encountered, code
must look at all the instructions in the old basic block,
determine what blocks are referenced, and queue up those
old basic blocks first.
* This had a bug (See #667)
Now:
* IR basic blocks are required to be in an order that guarantees
they will be referenced by a branch, before any instructions
within are referenced.
ir pass1 is updated to meet this constraint.
* When doing an IR pass, we iterate over old basic blocks
in the order they appear. Blocks which have not been
referenced are discarded.
* After the pass is complete, we must iterate again to look
for old basic blocks which now point to incomplete new
basic blocks, due to comptime code generation.
* This last part can probably be optimized - most of the time
we don't need to iterate over the basic block again.

...field to const slice parameter
we use a packed struct internally to represent a const array
of disparate union values, and needed to update the internal
getelementptr instruction to recognize that.

regression: translate-c can no longer translate switch statements.
after #629 we can ressurect and modify the code to utilize arbitrarily
returning from blocks.
