previously `@export` for an array would panic with a TODO message.
now it will do the export. However, it uses the variable's name
rather than the name passed to `@export`. Issue #2679 remains open
for that problem.
* `@clz`, `@ctz`, `@popCount`, `@bswap`, `@bitreverse` now
have a type parameter
* rename @bitreverse to @bitReverse
* rename @bswap to @byteSwap
Closes#2119Closes#2120
* fix crash when doing field access of slice types. closes#2486
* remove the deprecated Child property from slice types
* add -Dskip-non-native build option to build script
This defines `@sizeOf` to be the runtime size of a type, which means
that it is zero for types such as comptime_int, type, and (enum
literal).
See #2209
Previously, global assembly was parsed expecting it to have
the template syntax. However global assembly has no inputs,
outputs, or clobbers, and thus does not have template syntax.
This is now fixed.
This commit also adds a compile error for using volatile
on global assembly, since it is meaningless.

there's a new cli option `--main-pkg-path` which you can use to choose
a different root package directory besides the one inferred from the
root source file
and a corresponding build.zig API:
foo.setMainPkgPath(path)
* Separate LoadPtr IR instructions into pass1 and pass2 variants.
* Define `type_size_bits` for extern structs to be the same as
their `@sizeOf(T) * 8` and allow them in packed structs.
* More helpful error messages when trying to use types in
packed structs that are not allowed.
* Support arrays in packed structs even when they are not
byte-aligned.
* Add compile error for using arrays in packed structs when the
padding bits would be problematic. This is necessary since
we do not have packed arrays.
closes#677
* `type_size_store` is no longer a thing. loading and storing a pointer
to a value may dereference up to `@sizeOf(T)` bytes, even for
integers such as `u24`.
* fix `types_have_same_zig_comptime_repr` to not think that the
same `ZigTypeId` means the `ConstExprValue` neccesarily has the
same representation.
* implement `buf_write_value_bytes` and `buf_read_value_bytes` for
`ContainerLayoutPacked`

Previously, if a dereference instruction was an lvalue, it would fail to
typecheck that the value being dereferenced was indeed a pointer.
Although a little clunky, this change obviates the need for redundant
type checks scattered about the analysis.
