Supported types are:
- `OpTypeSampler`
- `OpTypeImage`
- `OpTypeSampledImage`
- `OpTypeRuntimeArray` with indexing and `.len` field
The SPIR-V backend is bit-rotted so behavior tests no longer pass (compiler crashes).
However I've verified the new added tests are passing.
- PEG / Parser Changes
All the changes made here are to places where the PEG was more
permissive than the parser. Changes to the parser make it more
permissive and changes to the PEG make it more strict. When choosing
between these two options for discrepancies, I opted for the choice
that was more natural and increased code readability.
Changes to the Parser
* Tuple types can now be `inline` and `extern` (e.g. `extern struct`).
* Break labels are now only consumed if both the colon and identifier
are present instead of failing if there is only a colon.
* Labeled blocks are no longer parsed in PrimaryExpr (so they are now
allowed to have CurlySuffixExpr) as in the PEG.
* While expressions can now be grouped on the same line.
* Added distinction in error messages for "a multiline string literal"
so places where only single string literals are allowed do not give
"expected 'a string literal', found 'a string literal'".
Changes to the PEG
* Made it so extern functions cannot have a body
* Made it so ... can be only the last function argument
* Made it so many item pointers can't have bit alignment
* Made it so asm inputs / outputs can not be multiline string literals
* Added distinction between block-level statements and regular
statements
-- Pointer Qualifier Order
The PEG allowed for duplicated qualifiers, which the parser did not.
The simplest fix for this was to make each be allowed zero or one times
which required giving them a order similar to how FnProto already
works. The chosen order is the same as used by zig fmt. The parser
still accepts them in any order similar to functions.
-- Backtracking
Made it so several places could not backtrack in the PEG. A common
pattern for this was (A / !A).
--- !ExprSuffix
Expressions ending with expressions now have !ExprSuffix after.
This change prevents expressions such as `if (a) T else U{}` being be
parsable as `(if (a) T else U){}`. It also stops some backtracking,
take for example:
`if (a) for (b) |c| d else |e| f`
It may seem at first that the else clause belongs to the `for`, however
it actually belongs to the `if` because for else-clauses cannot have a
payload. This is fixed by a new `KEYWORD_else / !KEYWORD_else`, however
this alone does not fix more complex cases such as:
`if (a) for (b) |c| d() else |e| f`
The PEG would first attempt to parse it as expected but fail due to the
new guard. It will then backtrack to
`if (a) (for (b) |c| d)() else |e| f`
which is surprising but avoids the new gaurd. So, !ExprSuffix is
required to disallow this type of backtracking.
--- !LabelableExpr
For identifiers, excluding labels is necessary despite ordered choice
due to pointer bit alignment. For example `*align(a : b: for (c) e) T`
could backtrack to `*align(a : b : (for (c) e)) T`.
--- !SinglePtrTypeStart
Prevents expressions like `break * break` which is parsed as
`break (*break)` backtracking to `(break) * (break)`
--- !BlockExpr
Prevents expressions like `test { {} = a; }` being backtracked to and
parsed as `test { ({} = a); }` (the parenthesis are just for
demonstration, that expression is not legal either)
--- !ExprStatement
In addition to splitting up block level statements, statements that are
also parsable as expressions are now part of ExprStatement to disallow
backtracking.
This builds on the changes in PR #30053 / commit 484cc15366.
Previously, peer type resolution would always result in a conflict for
fixed-width integer and float types. Now that small integer types can
coerce to floats, peer type resolution can take that into account. This
primarily benefits arithmetic with mixed float and integer operands. If
the integer operand can coerce to the float operand's type, it will do
so without requiring an explicit cast. If the integer type can't coerce,
there will be a compiler error; no float widening will occur. Explicit
casting will still be required to make it work.
Add vertical margin to the `.table-wrapper` class so that there's space
between the table and the test figures. It does not affect any of the
existing tables because the margin collapses with the adjacent `<p>`.
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
The new builtins are:
* `@EnumLiteral`
* `@Int`
* `@Fn`
* `@Pointer`
* `@Tuple`
* `@Enum`
* `@Union`
* `@Struct`
Their usage is documented in the language reference.
There is no `@Array` because arrays can be created like this:
if (sentinel) |s| [n:s]T else [n]T
There is also no `@Float`. Instead, `std.meta.Float` can serve this use
case if necessary.
There is no `@ErrorSet` and intentionally no way to achieve this.
Likewise, there is intentionally no way to reify tuples with comptime
fields, or function types with comptime parameters. These decisions
simplify the Zig language specification, and moreover make Zig code more
readable by discouraging overly complex metaprogramming.
