The downside of this commit is that more precise errors are no longer
propagated up. However, these errors were pretty useless in isolation
due to them having no context; and regardless, we intentionally swallow
most of them in `std.debug` anyway. Therefore, this is better in
practice, because it allows `std.debug` to give slightly more useful
warnings when handling errors. This commit does that for unwind errors,
for instance, which differentiate between the unwind info being corrupt
vs missing vs inaccessible vs unsupported.
A better solution would be to also include more detailed information via
the diagnostics pattern, but this commit is an incremental improvement.
turns out this isn't technically specific to that target at all; other
targets just don't emit mid-function 'ret' instructions as much so
certain CFI instruction patterns were only seen on aarch64.
thanks to jacob for finding the bug <3
Because -fno-llvm is now the default on x86_64-linux, this target was
exactly equivalent to one specified earlier in the matrix. This was
probably just missed when doing the work to enable the self-hosted
backend by default for x86_64.
The memory operand might use one of the extended GPRs R8 through R15 and
hence require a REX prefix, but having a REX prefix makes the high-byte
register AH unencodeable as the src operand. This latent bug was exposed
by this branch, presumably because `select` now happens to be putting
something in an extended GPR instead of a legacy GPR.
In theory this could be fixed with minimal cost by introducing a way to
communicate to `select` that neither the destination memory nor the
other temporary can be in an extended GPR. However, I just went for the
simple solution which comes at a cost of one trivial instruction: copy
the remainder from AH to AL, and *then* copy AL to the destination.
`rep movsb` isn't usually a great idea here. This commit makes the logic
which tentatively existed in `genInlineMemcpy` apply in more cases, and
in particular applies it to the "new" backend logic. Put simply, all
copies of 128 bytes or fewer will now attempt this path first,
where---provided there is an SSE register and/or a general-purpose
register available---we will lower the operation using a sequence of 32,
16, 8, 4, 2, and 1 byte copy operations.
The feedback I got on this diff was "Push it to master and if it
miscomps I'll revert it" so don't blame me when it explodes
* Add missing functions like ISDIR() or ISREG(). This is required to
build the zig compiler
* Use octal notation for the S_ constants. This is how it is done for
".freebsd" and it is also the notation used by DragonFly in
"sys/stat.h"
* Reorder S_ constants in the same order as ".freebsd" does. Again, this
follows the ordering within "sys/stat.h"
